Josephine Gallier
  JOSEPHINE GALLIER is a fairly typical Ishgardian low-born, raised under the foot of the nobles and struggling to survive for most of her life. In her youth she had big dreams and ambitions, with a passion for music. But as she grew, a cold bitterness took over and she rarely speaks of her dreams anymore. Working her way up from a life on the streets, Josephine is now a ward to a minor house in Ishgard where she works as the lord's retainer. She handles most of his business in trade to outside nations but still struggles in a world built for the wealthy. Josephine was a gangling and awkward girl when she was young. She was adventurous, free-spirited and tomboyish, despite her harsh upbringing. Now a grown woman, some of that remains in her more boyish figure and flat-chest. She is on the short side for an Elezen woman. Her hair is long and a ginger color, though kept neatly tied up in a bun more often than not. Her cheeks, shoulders and arms are covered in a dusting of freckles. Melancholy and bitter olive eyes highlight the change in her outlook since she was a child. Her fingers are long and delicate; the hands of a pianist.  As cold and unforgiving as the Brume, Josephine was quick to withdraw into herself after cycles of her dreams being torn from her. She was once a bright and optimistic girl, with dreams of seeing the world, adventure and of music. But now there is nothing but a forced, proper attitude fitting of someone in the servitude of a lord. While normally able to keep herself trained back, Josephine has a quick temper that sometimes slips out despite her best efforts. She is no-nonsense and perhaps a bit too high-strung.
Josephine's true passion lies with music, most specifically the piano. Even as a child she'd listen in from the window ledges of Ishgardian parties, and thanks to an exceptional gift of memory and prowess for the art, could recall the notes. She was educated by the house that took her in their service, and has good business sense as well. Josephine excels at numbers, critical thinking, and even has a knack for mechanics.  • ISHGARDIAN: Josephine grew up in the Brume, and only recently managed to get herself into a run-down apartment in the city. She works for a minor noble house as a personal retainer, so it is possible she has brushed shoulders with all types.   Positive Standing  Neutral Standing  Negative Standing
