i think brightney is fun to play as, versatile, and underrated. here's an essay about it. long post warning.
yes, technically she's mostly an extractor and seems to exist for the purpose of letting people learn how to play as vee, but to me, she's can do more than that. her low stealth, high stamina, and good enough movement speed allows her to be able to save any other toon (besides other brightneys and shrimpo) from twisteds by leading their attention away with ease (at least with the pink bow). she can't really distract, but every time i saved people i felt so much more confident than i do as any other toon in general. i've never heard anybody talking about the fact that her low stealth can actually be utilized for positive things rather than being only a hindrance. brightney can be great in rounds without distractors, but distractors are so prevalent that some people don't always want to play the game without them. i would probably play brightney more often if there was some kind of "no distracting" challenge run or something because she can easily become annoying (and even dangerous) if there are distractors.
i don't hate distractors or anything, but i just personally think the game is more fun with the challenge that comes without distractors. at this point i feel like my opinion is really rare though...
