10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?
Brigitte is hard to classify as strictly one or the other; she does have a lot of technical knowledge that would probably be classified as more along the lines of ‘book-smarts’ - particularly those related to robotics and engineering, the how things work, and in operating the mechanic business she took over from her mother - however, I wouldn’t say she she’s necessarily ‘book-smart’ mostly because it implies she learns through what you’d consider more traditional means. Almost everything she knows is learned through experience - and it makes sense, given her occupation is a very hands-on one. She doesn’t necessarily understand things in words, which is why if you asked her to give you a very in-depth explanation, she’d probably fall short; and that’s not to say that she can’t learn through traditional means, because she has done so - it just takes a lot more effort on her part to do so. She’s better at taking an experimental approach and finding the answer through trial-and-error than she is at applying only what she’s been told.
