Brigid  the daughter of Morrigan and Kernunnos. She is the first known child of a full god and a half-god in "HTLJ". Through her ​​mother she is the granddaughter of Badb, celtic goddess of war. Kernunnos held her captive to ensure Morrigan's compliance in his nefarious plans, but she was freed thanks to the efforts of Hercules.

Later on, when Morrigan and Hercules decided to take a romantic interlude away from the other druids, they took Brigid along to make it a family outing. Returning to find the druids slaughtered, Morrigan initially felt guilty about abandoning her post, but she later admitted that she should thank Hercules, since the trip was the only reason she and (more importantly) Brigid were still alive. Brigid was left in Eire while Hercules and Morrigan returned to Greece to confront Dahak.

In mythology, Brigid is the daughter of the Dagda and thus a princess of the gods or fae known as the Tuatha de Danaan (her mother is described only as a poet). She was of great importance to the ancient Irish Celts and historians strongly suspect that the Christian saint of the same name is little more than a Christianization of the pagan figure. She was similar to Hestia in that she tended a divine hearth.
