Build: Sturdy yet attractive.
Hair: Long and Dark Brown, almost black. Usually left strait.
Eyes: Dark Brown
Outfit: Japanese School Girl (long dress version). She only started dressing this way after she started traveling with her current companions. Castle opened a portal to modern day Japan and let her enter it just for kicks. She discovered this outfit in a cause-play shop, and found it to her liking.
Age: 18
Primary Personality Attributes: Caring, Calculating, Intelligent, serious, Strong
She is skilled in every thing she does, but she has yet to ever show her full potential to any one.
Her personality tends to be very serious most of the time but she does have a sense of humor.
She endures any misfortune as if it were like any other part of life. She will not allow herself to panic, cry, or even express to much sorrow.
Battle ability: Can spawn bombs in her hands. And can make large portals to nothingness. She uses these portals as a shield to protect herself. Both of these abilities are possible because of four special rings, that were created and given to her as a gift by Castle, so that she could protect herself.
All of the rings are simple and non imposing, very fit for a young lady. Two of them are charcoal black and have a single tiny fiery red inlaid gem each. These are the ones that make it so she can spawn bombs. She can spawn bombs of whatever power she wants, and can specify the amount of time allowed before they go off. But the stronger the bomb, the higher the risk of her and her friends getting caught in its blast.
The other two rings are silver colored and have brilliant blue gems instead of the fiery red that the charcoal rings posses. These allow her to make the portals she uses for defense.
Because she has two of each ring, she can use both her abilities with either hand. She can not spawn a bomb and a shield at the same time with one hand, but she can spawn a bomb with one hand and a shield in the other.
She practices throwing stuff whenever she can, in order to be able to throw her bombs further.
Things to be careful of:Any one can suffer a mental breakdown on the battlefield. Gloria is no different in that aspect. But when she suffers one, instead of crying or screaming or giving up hope. She simply goes insane and starts destroying everything. This has only happened once, but every one would prefer that it never happens again.
Roll: Group Mother. Cooks, Takes care of the sick, Listens to whoever needs some one to listen, gives advice when needed, Kicks butts that need kicking.
Story #2 (SLIGHTLY REVIZED):
She was raised in a beautiful loving home (or not). The house was a two room shack with a sheltered hole in the ground outside for a toilet . And her parents were.........well....read on to find out.
Her mother did a lot gardening to keep the family fed and kept her house as clean as she could. But she had a horrible temper and was a child abuser. Gloria and her younger brother both showed signs of their mothers fits of anger all over their bodies.
Her father was a coal miner who worked hard all day in cramped shafts and caves. But when his job was done he always drank heavily. And when he came home he generally wasn’t a pleasant person to be around.
. Her older brother had run from home long before, but his life was already ruined by the time he did so. She never really got to know him. The last thing Gloria heard of him. Was a letter from some constable somewhere who had had her brother imprisoned for various crimes he had committed.
Gloria did her best to take care of her younger brother, and often would take beatings from their mom in his place. She also studied hard on whatever books were in the house, in order to learn things she could teach to her brother.
One day Gloria decided she had had enough of her current life style. She wanted something better for her and her brother, and she decided the only way to get something better, would be to leave their current home and family. That night she took action.
She and her brother went to bed at the normal time. But later on, sometime past midnight, Gloria got back up. She hated to do this to her little brother, but she walked over to him and gently shook his shoulder. He woke up in a startled manner and looked at her with questioning eyes. She told him.......get some warm clothes on and wait for me outside, I should be out within fifteen minutes. After he dressed warmly, she quietly opened their window and helped him out.
Gloria proceeded to gather some of her and her brothers belongings and stuff them in two burlap bags, just basic necessities they would need in order to live. When she was done packing she took a look around and made sure she was not forgetting any thing.
She went to the window and put the bags on the ground outside and then crawled through it herself. She then picked up the bags and looked around for her brother. She suddenly realized, he was no where to be seen.
She was rather puzzled, where could he have gone? She put the bags back down and started looking around. After five minutes of searching she started to get worried. She could not find any signs of her brother any where.
. After searching for nearly an hour. She found the place where he had been waiting. He had gone and sat on a stump at the edge of the woods to wait for her. She noticed that there were marks on the ground as if someone had snuck up on him from behind and then struggled with him. She nearly panicked. But she quickly regained her composure and looked for tracks leading from the spot.
She found a couple sets of tracks going into the woods. She tried to follow them but quickly lost them. She was not an experienced tracker. She searched the woods in the area the rest of the night. And spent the next several days exploring more and more area. She never did find her brother.
With a sad and broken heart. She finally proceeded to do what she had planned to do the night they had tried to escape.
She never returned to the area where she had previously lived. When word got out that the two siblings had gone missing, people from the nearby town went searching for them. They were never able to find either of the siblings..
As far as any official documents were concerned, Gloria and her brother were dead.
After these events. Gloria wandered around doing odd jobs for various people and using any money earned, on basic life necessities. She often had to sleep outside without shelter. In order to keep from getting emotionally or mentally hurt, her mind and emotions started to harden. She lost almost all sense of emotion. It came to the point where death, pain and suffering no longer had any effect on her as far as any one could tell.
One rainy day during her travels she found a small tavern that was in need of a hostess. She offered to fill the roll for a day. The people there were nice, though they could tell that she had a rough life, they asked no questions. She was a hard worker, and attractive. Though she had lost all emotion, she still had the power to act happy and outgoing when need be. The tavern did good business that day.
The owner of the tavern was pleased by her performance and decided that he would like to keep her as hostess if possible. He took her aside that night and had a long talk with her. He promised her that she could work there as she wanted and have free room and board. And no one would ask her any questions about her past.
It was upon these terms that she came to work at the small tavern wear she would eventually meet her current traveling companions.
She still wonders at times. What happened to her brother?
