Neutral General Information . ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Stormy Blue Ombre, Fading from red to cinnamon Pale Slim, though well defined Smooth, Sultry. Like the audible embodiment of red wine Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Confident Tends to find it easy to read others A small, yet deep scar on her upper hipbone None Think Roaring 20's Mafioso Hair & Eyes Dark blue eyes, almost stormy in color. Her red hair in combination with these eyes lead many to believe her to be of Limsan descent, but her speech clearly proves otherwise. Her hair is typically styled in slight curls, the long flowing nature of it making it easier to pull this off. The ends of her hair are a touch darker than her roots, turning a more cinnamon like colour. Physique & Markings It is often difficult to get a good judge of her appearance. Her wardrobe prefers more masculine clothing. She tends to have a slim figure overall, but when she does show skin, it's apparently she spends much of her time taking care of her body. Surprisingly lean for her stature, she tries to avoid heartier foods in order to keep it as such. Hygiene & Attire Giselle is almost never seen without having first spent careful attention and detail to her appearance. Even with her hat, she makes sure her hair does not look unkept. To match her hygeine, all her clothes tend to be freshly washed and tailored by some of the weavers guild's finest, clearly designed for her figure first and foremost. Personality Psychological Profile It's often hard to read Giselle at any given time. No matter how close she may be with someone, she always appears to be a wild-card. She doesn't opt to do things for her own benefit, or for the benefit of others with any apparent rhyme or reason. It's unsure what caused her to opt to take such a middlewoman stance on life, but very few tend to question it. Because of this, she can be convinced to do most anything if provided reasonable opportunity. Voice If one could make fine red wine talk, it would sound like Giselle. Thinking along the lines of Asami from Legend of Korra, or, at times, Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, it's often difficult to not focus on her voice as she speaks. Philosophy & Mannerisms Giselle carries herself with a sense of pride. Knowing she isn't the top dog of anything she works on, she feels safer than most in the Underground. She is a firm believer that Eorzea is a "dog-eat-dog" world, but acknowledges that the top dog is often the one hunted the most. As such, her philosophy is to have a breadth of knowledge unlike any other, though less depth than one might expect. Not to focus on any one part of the workings of the underworld in particular, never leaving a positive or negative light on a situation. Preferences Likes ● The smell of Cigars. Oddly, she finds it very comfortable ● Fogweed. She'll typically be seen with a cigar tin full of it as opposed to cigars ● Gambling of all forms. Dislikes ● Whiskey. Used to love it, now she can't stand the stuff ● When people hide their face or expression intentionally, behind either masks, glasses, or the like Skills ● Oddly likable - A unique charm, very few would call her an enemy ● Finds it easy to read others facial expressions and thoughts ● Sleight of hand ● Uncanny knack at mathematics

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Finesse, able to counter most momentum from an opponents attack to use against them Above Average: Defense, for the selfsame reason as above Average: Stamina, A long stint with an addiction to cigars prevents this from being higher Low: Physical strength, she struggles to lift rather large objects. Aetheric Abilities Expert: Most aetheric abilities utilizing the Machinist's toolkit - She has worked on perfecting them for quite some time. Novice: Alchemy - Has been known to imbue aetheric properties in to her poisons, to varying degrees of success. Weapon Training Mastery: Firearms, particularly revolver/single-shot. She has been known to use them alike a cane, occasionally using the bullet ricochet as a method to slam the gun in to the opponent. Average: Knives/Daggers. Despite no professional training, she does have a knack for finesse with daggers. Combat Relevant Skills High: Bartitsu - Uses her opponents momentum against themselves to deflect blows, typically using her gun's barrel to deflect the momentum Above Average: Finesse - Tends to move around the battlefield light on her feet Non-Combat Abilities ● Sleight of hand: Since she started her work throughout Thanalan, Giselle has always been known to be skilled in the art of sleight of hand. It is very rare for people to notice her in the pockets of someone else should she need the money, or to carefully hide items in plain sight. ● Mathematics: Giselle has always been one for crunching numbers. Easily able to discern the odds of the outcome of most of the situations she winds herself up in. She also tends to use these skills at the Saucer, calculating her chances of winning a bet, and because of that has garnered quite the reputation because of that. ● Alchemy: Giselle has been known to dabble in alchemy to emphasize her average knife skills. Toxins and poisons alike, whilst also tinkering around with beneficial potions and salves for her own personal use. Combat Abilities ● Quickshooting: Giselle has been toted as one of the fastest shots in Thanalan, the hairpin trigger on her gun allowing her to fire with blatant disregard for aim. ● Melee-Gun Skillset: Giselle can often be seen propping her gun in to the ground alike a cane, and the hairpin trigger on her gun allows her to fire at a rapid rate. She often uses the recoil from the shots more as momentum to deflect attacks from others with the barrel, occasionally hooking others weapons with the handle of her guns. She refuses to speak to where she learned this skillset, and if people catch on or find it familiar, she often deflects the conversation elsewhere. ● Knives: Though not formally trained with them, Giselle has been known to dance around the battlefield with knives in the event her gun is away form her person. To compensate for her lack of skill in the field, she opts to instead occasionally tip the blades with toxins and poisons. OOC Note Giselle's combat style largely borrows from the martial art of Bartitsu, if one could imagine Roman Torchwick from RWBY's fighting style, this would be her when she is most adamant of winning a fight. She also will make it a point to avoid speaking about where she learned her techniques, going so far as to leave the conversation if people press her too hard on it.

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
