As Goddess of Death she cares for dead more than they were ever loved while living.

With each basic attack she fires an additional smaller nail forward.

Each duplicated nail deals a p

As the title says, Maman Brigitte is one of the most well known Loa (spirits) in Haitian voodoo. She is a a Loa of death. An interesting detail, I thought - that she chose that as her alias.

MAMAN BRIGITTE , Loa of the Dead (guardian, Voodoo pantheon)

Maman Brigitte is often depicted in bright, overtly sexual costumes; she is feminine, sensual, and dangerous at the same time. Much like her Celtic counterpart, Maman Brigitte is a powerful healer. If she can't heal or cure them, she helps her followers travel towards the afterlife.  Maman Brigitte is a protectress and will watch over women who ask for her assistance, particularly in cases of domestic violence, unfaithful lovers, or childbirth. The wife and consort of Baron Samedi, Brigitte is associated with death and cemeteries. Those who are devotees of Maman Brigitte know that her favorite colors are black and purple, and she eagerly accepts offerings of candles, black roosters, and pepper-infused rum.

Passive - "Spirit Guide"

Maman Brigitte gains 5 magical and 5 physical protections each time an ally dies. If that god is female, she also gains 3 magical power.

Ability 1 - "Whispers of the Deceased" (AoE ground target)

Maman Brigitte summons spirits of the deceased that slow and enemy gods in the target area, then roots them after a short time. Also deals small damage over time that is transferred as healing to all allies near her. Minions are not rooted, and instead take 100% increased damage from this ability.

Ability 2 - "Empathy for the Ill" (single target, ally)

Maman Brigitte makes an etheral link to a single target ally, cleansing them of slows, granting them movement speed if moving towards her, a shield equal to 100% of her protections +5 per targe'ts level, and transferring 25% of her current HP to the target over time. Lasts for 5 seconds. Silencing the target breaks the shield affect, but not the HP transfer over time.

Ability 3 - "Sublime Seductress" (single target, enemy)

Maman Brigitte targets a single enemy god from range, reducing their protections based on her magical power, and taunting them. After the taunt has ended they are crippled.

Ultimate: - "Life After Death" (AoE, ground target similar to Yemoja's ultimate)

Each time an ally dies, Maman Brigitte's ultimate gains a stack. Maman Brigitte summons ghosts of her allies based on the number of stacks the ability has. Using this ability consumes the stacks. The ghosts may not leave the targeted location, but will basic attack any enemy god near them, slowing them and lifestealing for 25% that is transferred to the ghost's living counterpart (if ally is currently dead, the lifesteal instead goes to Maman Brigitte

For most of my life I have felt called to Haitian & New Orleans style Voudou/Vodun and have visited New Orleans, Cuba to see practitioners directly and learn.

I personally have Irish, African, Mexican/Indigenous blood but look white. I knew about Maman Brigitte and liked her, but I had a strong relationship with Santa Muerte as a Chicana who survived stage III cancer. Recently, at a protest - I had an experience with Maman Brigitte that was quite powerful and I feel compelled to work with her.

My concern is that it may be inappropriate for me to work with her because I am white. I thought maybe it wouldn't be cultural appropriation because she is portrayed as being white skinned with red hair and Irish, but I'm not sure and just wanted to elicit feedback.

I have read about how to venerate her with rum infused with chili peppers, wearing purple and black - but also wanted to know how to use her to steel my spirit for war. I have been a social justice activist for almost a decade and would like to consecrate my right arm to fight injustice with my fist. I would like to invoke her every time I leave to go fight the cops and this fascist state to protect me in battle. I thought that she might be the perfect mix of Irish and African which would represent all of my ancestors too.

What do people think? Particularly the opinions of black women who practice magick. If this is an incorrect call, I will abandon it. But if not, I would like to learn from my sisters how to properly invoke this lwa to strengthen me. Thank you!

So yeah this is my first time doing anything like this but i wanted to share an idea for a kit.

I'm not good with numbers so this is just a general idea for how Maman Brigitte's kit could work.

Passive:

Whenever Maman Brigitte consumes a mark all her basic abilities gets their cooldown reduced by 1s

CURSED MARK:

Maman Brigitte shoots out a low damage projektile that inflicts a mark on every god hit. The mark gives additional effects to Maman Brigitte abilities and let her use her 3

NOWHERE TO GO:

Maman Brigitte curses the ground in an aoe damaging and inflicting a slow to all inside. If a target is marked they get bound to the area and can't go outside it for 2s this consumes the mark

PINS AND DOLLS:

Maman Brigitte targets an enemy marked god and begins to channel for up to 3s.

The longer she channels the more damage will be inflicted on the target this consumes the mark.

If the target moves out of a certain range or Maman Brigitte gets cc'ed the ability is canceled and the mark dissapears.

While channeling Maman Brigitte is immune to slows

SHARE THE PAIN:

Maman Brigitte targets a large area and tethers all marked gods to eachother. When damage is inflicted to any of the tethered gods a percentage of that damage will also be inflicted to all other tethered gods. This consumes all marks

I know that targeted abilities are generally not that great for Smite but i wanted to try and make a kit where the main form of damage is centered around that with some counterplay.

I was thinking that her 1 should be at pretty low damage and somewhat dodgeable but also with low cd. Meanwhile her 2 having semi decent damage and her 3 the potential for high burst.

Dunno how people are gonna feel about this but yeah. So yeah let me know what you guys think :)

Calling this an idea because it's not a complete concept, just an idea I wanted to flesh out a bit. I made a post about it about a week ago but I wanted to write down the full idea I had.

Maman Brigitte is basically Baron Samedi's feminine opposite, and his wife. She is the protector of graves, remover of curses, and goddess of the dead. Like him she is foul mouthed. Her origins are in Ireland as a depiction of the Celtic goddess Brigid. I imagine her to be fair skinned with black paint to mimic a skeleton like her husband, wearing a dark dress colored like a rooster and decorated with feathers.
The idea that this concept runs on is the idea of a voodoo doll. I know a lot of people want a god to use a voodoo doll, but they aren't necessarily a thing, however I found a loophole. Maman is from Ireland, and voodoo dolls are from European mythology, and she is a bit of a jokester, so her using a voodoo doll as a gag prop but also a serious weapon makes sense! Here's what I have written down, very rough idea but you get the point. The idea is similar to what Morigesh had in Paragon as well, if you want a comparison.

Maman Brigitte would be an assassin or a melee mage, using the voodoo doll and bursts of magic at close range.

Passive - Grave Demise

• Enemies that die within a 60ft radius of Maman leave behind a grave, which lasts until the enemy respawns. It pumps out a healing aura within 20ft that heals herself and allies for 2% of the enemy's max health per second. Her cursed target leaves behind a larger grave that could heal for mana as well or something greater.

Ability I - Voodoo Doll

• Maman Brigitte curses an enemy, copying their model and carrying it around as a doll. This enemy would take 4/6/8/10/12% increased damage from her and would be revealed to her within a 40/45/50/55/60ft radius. This ability could also have a secondary use where if you target an already cursed enemy it deals a burst of magic damage or something.

Ability II - Red Rum

• Maman Brigitte drinks from her rum, which is infused with peppers, puffing out her cheeks with fiery breath and gaining 5/10/15/20/25% movement speed while this is active. Reusing the ability would cause her to spit the rum out in a cone, applying a DoT that ticks every .5s for 3s. Her cursed enemy would automatically have the DoT applied.

Ability III - Undertaker

• Maman Brigitte corrupts a target area with magic, which remains as a trap on the ground. The first enemy unit

I see the error of my ways in putting "WIP" in the title as I cannot change it -_- This concept is now finished. Please leave feedback (if you want... you're an adult I can't tell you what to do)! :)

While Maman Brigitte is basically the female version of Baron Samedi, this concept is going to focus more on her aspects of a wild, fun-loving personality and her control of fire.

Passive: Dance of the Dead-

When an allied god dies, Maman Brigitte begins to dance. As long as she stays within the area of the ally's death, she gives them a blessing lowering their respawn timer. If multiple allies die, her dance prioritizes the ally with the longest respawn.

Additionally, if Baron Samedi is an ally, enemies take 20% extra damage from Maman Brigitte at max hysteria.

• Passive ability: Buff
• Affects: Allies
• Timer reduction: 2 seconds for every 4 seconds in ally's death area
• Death radius: 10 units

Ability 1: Spiced Rum-

Maman Brigitte takes a swig of her spiced rum. Each time she drinks, she receives a health and mana heal. These drinks can be stored for later use up to a maximum of 3.

This ability is available at level 1.

• Ability type: Stim
• Affects: Self
• Heal: 90/140/190/240/290 (+50% of Magical Power)
• Mana restored: 80/120/160/200/240 (+Mp5 value)
• Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 seconds

Ability 2: Breathe Fire-

On use, Maman Brigitte expels one of her stored drinks to breathe fire in a cone in front of her dealing damage over time. By holding the hotkey, Maman Brigitte will continue to breathe fire and draining another stored drink every second. While channeling, the damage is multiplied for each additional stored drink expelled after the first. When Maman Brigitte runs out of stored drinks, the skill ends. She can move during the channeling with a 20% movement speed penalty.

• Ability type: Cone
• Affects: Enemies
• Damage per tick: 25/40/55/70/85 (+30% of Magical Power) every 0.5 seconds every second up to 3 seconds

• Range: 50
• Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 mana
• Cooldown: 16 seconds

Ability 3: Vicious Mockery-

Maman Brigitte shouts obscenities and insults at enemies in a cone in front of her dealing damage and demoralizing them. Enemy gods that are demoralized suffer from reduced damage output for the duration.

Has no effect on minions or jungle creatures.

• Ability type: Cone^(1)
• Affects: Enemies
• Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+70% of Magical Power)
