Bridger

A quiet and reserved person. Extremely intelligent and protective of loved ones, though usually in a passive way. Prefers a quiet life and loves to collect things. They are very trustworthy although they don't often extend that trust to others easily. With an unbeatable wit and humorous charm, they can blend into any conversation although they tend to hold their tongue until the opportune moment. Very sound in mind and a person would do well to listen to the opinions and advice of a Bridger as they only see in black and white as they are and always have an "outside the box" perspective on life.
Got a problem? Think like a Bridger!
