Personality
Gisela lives in a world of facts and concrete needs. She lives in the present, with an eye constantly scanning her personal environment to make sure that everything is running smoothly and systematically. She honors traditions and laws, and has a clear set of standards and beliefs. Expecting the same of others, she has no patience or understanding of individuals who do not value these systems. She also values competence and efficiency, and likes to see quick results for efforts.
Gisela is a take-charge person. She has such a clear vision of the way things should be, that she naturally steps into leadership roles. She can be self-confident and aggressive to the point of being very demanding and critical. Having such strongly held beliefs, Gisela tends to express herself without reserve if she feels someone isn't meeting her standards.
When under extreme stress, she often feels isolated from others. She feels as if he is misunderstood and undervalued, and that her efforts are taken for granted. Although she has no difficulty expressing herself normally, when under such stress she has a hard time putting feelings into words and communicating them to others without lashing out defensively.
Corbin
Talkative and a bit of a rapscallion, Corbin's love for 'shinies' is almost as great as his adoration for Gisela. Only accompanying her when Gisela assumes the mantle of adventurer, the bird uses the substantial free time collecting rumors and gossip to share with her in the evenings when they are alone. [ Familiar ]
Lady Lidacia Xueris
A kindly matron with a soft heart and wise words. Not all is as it appears, however. Lady Lidacia is a venerable witch in her own right, having introduced Gisela to the path. Seemingly content to watch her granddaughter pursue her own goals, the matron has a web of hidden agendas that she patiently cultivates. [ Grandmother ]
Sir Alexander Naikl
Gisela's father is a shrewd businessman, adept in political maneuvering. Having secured a large measure of power through the untimely death of his wife, his influence now extends to most government institutions. The city guard, in particular, has benefited substantially from his patronage. A new barracks, mess hall, and an increase in the yearly uniform stipend have been approved with the help of his influence. [ Father ]
