Brigitte Lindholm is the daughter of Torbjörn Lindholm and currently works as Reinhardt Wilhelm's Squire out in the field of battle.
From a young age, Brigitte showed an interest in mechanical engineering and was the only among the Lindholm children who did this - Thus ending up spending a great deal of time in her father's workshop; tinkering and honing her skills toward her passion. As time went on, Brigitte ended up turning her interest more toward armor and defensive systems as opposed to her father who was a world renowned weapons creator. As the years went by, everyone expected Brigitte to continue her apprenticeship and follow in her father's foot steps - But due to the influence of another figure who has been of great importance throughout her earlier life; She made the decision to venture with Reinhardt after he stated that he'd knight-errant on a quest to bring justice - This the two traveled the world and Brigitte ended up becoming Reinhardt's Squire.
As time and seasons passed: she got to experience a great deal of what the world had become and how it was ever changing, spending the majority of her time repairing Reinhardt's broken armor and tending to his wounds; A new frie started burning within Brigitte. One that which was sparked by non other than Reinhardt - a fire to protect those who can not protect themselves. As Reinhardt decided to re-join Overwatch when called out by Winston to re-assemble; Brigitte quickly began working on her own type of battle armor and would after a while, pick up arms and stand side by side with Reinhardt again - Trying to make the world a better place, one battle at a time.
When called upon by the Nexus, Brigitte saw new allies to protect, new battles to be fought and new enemies that which needed Justice rightfully delivered.
Brigitte takes up the role as a Multiclass Warrior / Support who baseline works kind of like a Bruiser with some supporting tools: Yet her level 1 talent quests: which greatly affects her play-style - Is what will define her in the field of battle as a more focused healer, a frontline Warrior, or empowering her bruiser/support potential, allowing her to be a good mix of the two.

Skin suggestions
Brigitte's base appearance alongside 4 other color tints imported from Overwatch (As per usual with OW heroes)
In order to give her a skin which differentiates her from the typical Crusader (Like Johanna) I was thinking it would be cool of she had a more Barbaric like skin where her Flail is replaced with an.. Axe-Flail? Flail-Axe? Her shield turns wooden and her clothing would be more reminiscent of a Barbarian: Sort of like Sonya.
I will list here once more of my concepts is made. Some of these concepts may also look familiar but that is because I am also "Rexx" whom has posted some hero concepts on the EU and US side forums for Heroes of the Storm.
This Brigitte concept was first thought of around the Brigitte release in OW but due to lack of sources for Sprays that would make for fitting images - It was only saved as a document and worked on for while before now being published the 25.05.2018 thanks to some awesome folks over at Reddit which helped me get a hold of the sprays in PNG format.
