Seeing as she is our newest hero, it was only fair we start this off with Brigitte. (However you want to pronounce it) Theres not a lot we know about Brigitte, so lets go through what we do know.
Brigitte Lindholm is the youngest child of Torbjorn and Ingrid. She was the first child to be interested in her fathers work. She spent a lot of her time in Torbjorn workshop following the footsteps of her father. Brigitte became interested in building armour and defensive systems. As a child she created a suit of armer for her pet cat. 
Instead of continuing the work with her father, she went to travel with her Godfather, Reinhardt. Reinhardt is a close friend of the Lindholm family. He told stories of hero's and chivalry as she grew up. Reinhardt declared that he would become a knight-errant on a quest to bring justice. Brigitte asked if she could go along with him, he said yes. She considers travelling alongside him to be a great honour. 
We first see Brigitte in the comic Dragon Slayer. During the comic, Reinhardt and Brigitte stopped off in a town to obtain fuel and money, only to discover it was a ghost town. This was due to the Dragons, a group of armed scavengers. 
Reinhardt was beaten by the group and Brigitte was held back by the thugs and made to watch. After the Dragons left they returned to their transport. despite Brigitte's warnings, Reinhardt insisted on helping the people in the town. His armour was damaged i couldn't handle another battle. They both got to work on its repair.
After Brigitte located the Dragons at a factory outside the town, Reinhardt engaged the criminals in combat. He returned to the town and declared that the town would not be bothered by them anymore. Using the scrap from the factory Brigitte gave Hanna's stuffed toy lion an 'upgrade'. She continues to travel by Reinhardt side.
