Birgit Goethals (Clan)

Clan is a Dutch-language Belgian television series. It was also aired under the title "The Out-Laws" in the UK.

Biography
Birgit "Bibi" Engelen (née Goethals) is one of the five Goethals sisters. Their parents died when they were young, leaving the eldest sister Eva to raise her younger sisters. Birgit was a skilled crossbowman, having won multiple national and international championships. She lost her eye in a car accident during which Jean-Claude Delcorps was driving, something she has never forgiven him for. Like her sisters, she lives in the fictitious Belgian town Vredegem (roughly translating to "Peaceville"), where she works as a library employee.
