PERSONALITY

Positive Traits:
-- Confident: It comes with her trade. Gabriella is a very confident woman who never falters or second-guesses herself.

-- Outgoing: If she's paid, she'll do pretty much anything. And this doesn't mean sex only. She'll kill someone if paid well enough.

-- Courageous: There is very little in this world that would scare or even startle Gabriella. She's hard as stone when it comes to fear.

-- Self-directed: A stereotypical view of Gabriella would view her as shaped by external events, but this is entirely untrue. She is completely self-made and self-directed. No one can tell her what to do.

-- Independent: Along with her self-direction, Gabriella is extremely independent and will never tie herself down to anyone.

-- Organized: She is organized nearly to the point of OCD. If one little thing is out of place, she'll freak.

-- Maternal: Though she never wants children of her own, Gabriella loves kids and loves to look after them.

Negative Traits:
-- Indifferent: Gabriella doesn't care deeply for anyone and is fairly indifferent to almost everyone except children.

-- Dislike of Authority: Gabriella tends to simply not acknowledge the rank or authority of others and ignore the fact that they are "superior."

-- Guarded: She discloses almost nothing about her personality to others and keeps most aspects of her life hidden.

-- Resentful: Gabriella never forgets past wrongs and holds them with her forever. She is not quite vengeful, but she definitely can hold a grudge.

-- Does anything for pay: She will do nearly anything if the pay is right. This makes her easy to manipulate and use for one's own purposes.

Fears:
-- Falling in Love
-- Thunderstorms
-- Bears

Quirks:
-- Walks with a certain swagger all the time that makes her appear slightly drunken
-- Obsession with organization

Ideals:
-- Riches
-- Independence

Overall: Gabriella is a very self-directed and independent woman. She doesn't find her word at all degrading and simply a means of earning money. She is extremely confident and is never at a loss for words and never stutters over her words. These traits also make her fairly indifferent to all others, except children which she has a soft spot for. Gabriella is also very guarded and secretive and will give nothing about her life away to her "clients." She tends to make up lies when they question her.

APPEARANCE

Hair Color: Pure white
Eye Color: Bright Blue
Skin Color: Very pale, nearly white
Clothing: Gabriella always wears dresses except when in combat. She likes darker colors because they create a contrast with her white hair and skin but all colors look nice on her. Her dresses are usually short, falling to about mid-thigh. Her shoes are simple sandals in black or white. Roses and other flowers make up her accessories and she strings together rows of them to form necklaces and bracelets.
Weapons: One large, white double-bladed axe and one black crossbow
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 135 lbs
Overall: Gabriella's face gives the sense of delicacy and fragility but this image lulls people into a false sense of security. Behind the beautiful, white skin lie strong muscles of one training in the Chaos Order. Though she is a beautiful woman, she is also very strong and skilled in battle. Her hair is pure white and her eyes are a bright, piercing blue.

HISTORY

Family: Kara - mother; Armand - father; Michelle - sister; Gregory - brother
History: Gabriella's story has little remarkable in it. Her life has been the average life of a Chaos follower born into a poor family. Her mother worked in the general store and her father worked in a factory. The family lived in Nocni and Gabriella was the youngest of three children. Her sister, Michelle, was the eldest and Gregory was the middle child. By the time Gabriella was born, Kara had lost her job and the family had to subsist on Armand's income alone.

Eventually, Michelle managed to learn some dance and began preforming on the streets of Nocni. This brought in a bit of revenue, but the family remained poor. Michelle and Gregory were initiates long before Gabriella began her training. Michelle was already out in the world, a grown woman, before her younger sister hit her 13th birthday. Gregory was nearly done. Gabriella soon found herself an only child in a poor family. Her mother's health was ailing and much of Armand's money went to the seers.

Thus, Gabriella took up prostitution to help fund her family. She never told her parents where the money came from and they were grateful for the extra boost. After she finished her training, Gabriella continued to send some of her earnings to her parents. Eventually, Kara died, succumbing to her sickness and Armand no longer needed the gold. After her mother's death, Gabriella began to grow rich. She also began to take on other jobs besides prostitution. She became skilled with her beloved snow-white axe during this time, dealing out death for those who paid her well.

Gabriella visited Michelle often and helped watch her two nephews while their mother was at work. A fondness for children grew from this babysitting though she had no ambition to have children of her own. Eventually, the boys were old enough that they needed no supervision and Gabriella lost almost all contact with her family. Her and Armand speak occasionally, but Gabriella is mostly alone in the world at this point.

And that's how she wants it to stay.
