WHO'S WHO IN THE BRIDGET WILDER UNIVERSE?

THE A-Z OF THE B.W.U

The Bridget Wilder Universe is a chaotic place filled with characters hiding their true identities and other characters who are oblivious to the spy action going on all around them. Let's get to know these people in alphabetical order.

A

There are no A's in the Bridget Wilder Universe

B

Kelly Beach

One of the trio of slim, pretty, popular girls who who attend Reindeer Crescent Middle School with Bridget but had no idea she existed. If a slim, pretty, popular girl who lives in a huge house with a tennis court and has a software tycoon as a stepfather can be described as an underdog, Kelly is the underestimated member of her trio. Deep down, she fears her thoughts, beliefs and statements are not valued by her friends. This fear is exploited by Bridget when she needs to gain access to Kelly's stepfather's home to steal a USB containing vital intel. Bridget will find that she also underestimated Kelly Beach. 

Big Green Machine

The hated dispenser of vegetable snacks, protein bars and mineral water which replaced Reindeer Crescent Middle School's much-loved vending machine, dispenser of far less healthy snacks. Students show their feelings for the new machine by kicking, punching and scratching it's body as they pass.

Big Log

The grandmother and sole guardian of Bridget's friend, Joanna Conquest. Neither of them are thrilled by the situation.

Casey Breakbush

The unofficial leader of the trio of slim, pretty, popular girls. Casey makes the decision to acknowledge Bridget and extend her the perfectly manicured hand of friendship. Casey is the aribter of what her friends think, say, wear, watch and eat.

Mrs. Breakbush

Casey's long-suffering mom. She has the thankless task of chauffering the three girls to and from school. On the rare occasions she opens her mouth to offer an opinion, Casey shuts her down with a mortified eye-roll or a heavy sigh. Mrs. Breakbush was also left choking in the dust when, on an evening run, Bridget sped past her, powered by superfast nanosneakers.

C

Car

Bridget's biological father, superspy Carter Strike, gifted his newly discovered daughter with a vast cache of spy gadgets, the most extravagant being a self-driving car with a windshield that displays the image of an adult driver. The car also features a speech chip that mocks, insults and laughs at Bridget in her own voice, which is incredibly annoying. As they spend more time together, the car shows Bridget some grudging respect.

Brendan Chew

Bridget's middle-school nemesis. Self-styled class clown Brendan Chew's idea of comedy is to address Bridget as Midget Wilder. Everyone at school thinks he's hilarious. Everytime he says it--and he says it everytime he sees her--people fall on he floor clutching their sides.

Joanna Conquest

Bridget's best and only friend. It's a friendship that only exists because neither of them want to deal with the fact that they hang out because they've been hanging out since Bridget's mother and Joanna's mother made them sit together at a Christmas party when they were six. In Bridget's mind, she's been stuck in a bad playdate ever since. Joanna is mean, resentful and undermining. And that's her on a good day. Her entire being is tied up in a Tumblr called The Conquest Report in which she gossips, insults and attacks everyone who annoys her at Reindeer Crescent Middle School. Which is to say, everyone. Bridget suspects that, deep deeep deeep down, Joanna craves affection and wishes she was noticed and included in the social life of the school. But, knowing that will never happen, she attacks all those around her before they ever get the opportunity to hurt her. When Bridget becomes a spy-in-training, she also becomes one of the enemies who exclude Joanna. 

D

Nick Deck

Kelly Beach's software tycoon stepfather. Bridget manipulates Kelly into throwing a party to show her independence from Casey Breakbush. Bridget's secret agenda is ti gain access to Nick Deck's computer.

Doom Patrol

A gang of not-very scary teenage sort-of thugs who roam the streets of Reindeer Crescent shouting their name and bullying defenseless middle-schoolers. They come up against Bridget on two occasions and, both times, limp away licking their wounds.

E

F

Friendly Red

The much-missed vending machine that provided Reindeer Crescent Middle School students with their daily supply of soda, gum, popcorn and chips.

G

Glasses Of Truth

Specially modified spectacles allowing Bridget to detect lies in the faces of others. Sometimes the glasses direct Bridget to a tell-tale rise in temperature, sometimes it shows her a giveaway twitch or a slght rise in volume. While she's wearing this gift from Carter Strike, no one can put anything past her. Which is ironic...

H

Helena Hartsock

Bridget's soft-hearted Social Studies teacher. Ms H accepts the gift of  the horrible carrot cake Bridget claimed was left over from her birthday, unaware that what she was really doing was giving Bridget access to the teacher's lounge so she could plant tiny surveillance cameras n the room.

N

Nanosneakers

Another gift to Bridget from Carter Strike. Sneakers powered by nanotechnology that allow Bridget to run like the wind.

Nash Nixon

Reindeer Crescent Middle School custodian. He has to clear up the wreckage of the  Big Green Machine after a spy satellite takes control causing it to shoot yogurts and water bottles at the vice principal, until Bridget destroys it with a few high-powered kicks.

Pru Quarles

Reindeer Crescent's track star and athletic all-rounder. She takes special delight in Bridget's destruction of the Big Green Machine.
