Brigitte - Gutting It Out (Patreon)

 When Brigitte first set her sights on becoming a member of the Overwatch crew, she knew there would be a tough road ahead. Years on the road with her friend and mentor Reinhardt had taught her about the determination and sacrifice necessary, and just as much in developing her physical and engineering abilities.

This was real strength, complete body confidence and raw, functional power. Brigitte walked with a confidence that portrayed that on her every trip to the gym, and she had a sneaking suspicion that certain people were noticing...
