Appearance & Personality

Height: Short for an elezen at 5 fulms and 11 ilms
Weight: 175 lbs.
Hair: Platinum blonde that grows into a darker orange near the ends. Thick and naturally wavy, usually kept loose. It hangs about halfway down her back.
Eyes: One green, one yellow.
Physique: Small, at least as far as elezen are concerned. At a distance she might appear short and willowy, and up close this is...not terribly far off. Once upon a time she had toned musculature in her upper body from extensive use of a bow, but that is long since atrophied.

Where her height may be lacking, she was at least blessed with a fair countenance; it would be difficult to dispute the claim that Giselle is beautiful. Sharp, swooping eyebrows and a delicately hooked nose are pleasant enough, but the lopsided smirks she is prone to might distract one’s attention from lingering on them too long.
Identifying Marks: Aside from an arguably authentic beauty mark just below the right corner of her mouth, Giselle sports a heavy coating of freckles even despite her dark skin.
Attire: Giselle is well aware of her beauty and takes great enjoyment in accentuating it. Open silk blouses are a favorite, as are tight leggings and high leather boots of only the finest make (and highest heels, to take the sting out of her lacking height). While there is not an outright excess of jewelry on her person at any given time, she certainly piles on as many elegant filigrees and glittering gems as she can manage without looking outright gaudy. Makeup is always applied meticulously to her sharp features; she favors dark brown and burgundy where possible.

Personal Strengths: Friendly, playful, very good with her hands and fingers (take that any way you will), clever, driven
Personal Weaknesses: Giselle hates insects, and not just because they can ruin her clothes and her woodworking. She hates insects in a shrieking-at-the-top-of-her-lungs-it’s-a-spider kind of way. Physically speaking, she is fairly weak. She hates the dark- twilight is fine, as is a moonlit walk on the beach, put but her in a moonless night or a deep cave where she is robbed of her sight and she quickly becomes terrified and agitated.
Character Flaws: Stubborn, manipulative, dramatic, petty, avaricious and generally a jealous personality type
Personality Quirks: One might describe her laugh as obnoxious. She can come off as extremely patronizing, likely because, as a rule, she does in fact think herself better.

Biography

Orientation: Homosexual
Hobbies: Woodworking, singing, painting, music
Special Talents: Giselle's talents happen to fall in line with her hobbies and her work. She is a skilled woodworker, having pursued it under her father's tutelage since a very young age. She also has an excellent ear for music and a super singing voice, as well as a natural gift for figuring out new instruments when given enough time to fiddle with them. She's also a moderately skilled archer when she practices.
Favored Weapons: Giselle's expertise with weaponry is limited exclusively to the longbow. As a rule, she's too physically weak to efficiently yield other weapons, and she has trained the most with the bow and arrow, again, under her father's instruction.
Favored Attire: Giselle is well aware of her beauty and takes great enjoyment in accentuating it. Open silk blouses are a favorite, as are tight leggings and high leather boots of only the finest make (and highest heels, to take the sting out of her lacking height). While there is not an outright excess of jewelry on her person at any given time, she certainly piles on as many elegant filigrees and glittering gems as she can manage without looking outright gaudy. Makeup is always applied meticulously to her sharp features; she favors dark brown and burgundy where possible.
Inventory: While traveling, she actually packs surprisingly light. Dried meats, a waterskin, poultice and linen, a bedroll, her longbow, and her harp are the usual inventory.

RELATIONSHIPS Giselle is without a doubt a social butterfly, though she flits about between people so much she rarely makes lasting friendships. Those few that have been established she cares very deeply for, though. ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ● Deceased ♥ Annaliese Sellecerre           (Lover) Giselle's relationship with Annaliese is still young, though they had been friends for some time before it. After a long string of entertaining no interest in relationships, Annaliese has provided a breath of fresh air and perhaps a healthy dose of reality for Giselle as well. The full nature of their relationship is somewhat ambiguous as yet, but Giselle has far crossed the threshold of commitment. ♥Georgette Friloux           (Mother) Giselle has become more close with her mother in recent years since the loss of her father during the Calamity. She spends more and more of her time lately in Limsa Lominsa visiting with Georgette. ● Sigurd Rainecourt ● Heteph Asanti ● I'tsu Fhuz
