HISTORY Sepalum used to not be home for Gilifred, but a vacation spot for her family. Born into a wealthy businessman's world, Gilly was the only child of her parents and was absolutely spoiled rotten. Nothing was too expensive or unneeded for their little girl. She had the best, most expensive schooling, etiquette classes, toys, horse back riding lessons, etc. You name it, she probably dabbled in it before tossing it aside. When she was thirteen, however, her family business tanked big time and her family was forced to live a peasant's-er, average citizen's life. The several vacation homes, including the one on Sepalum, was sold, and they had to move into a cramped apartment. Gilly watched as her charmed life got a very real dose of a reality she didn't realize existed. Her family had to learn how to clean up spills and messes, how to pay taxes and bills without an accountant at their elbow walking them through it step by step, how to take out the garbage without it opening on them or the bag splitting, what parks had druggies and what ones were safe to walk barefoot in, everything. Her parents' marriage fell apart in the cramped apartment since they'd never really spent so much time so inescapably close to one another without any means of retreat or money to give a gift to the other and make up. They stayed together for tax reasons, but arguments were abound in her household. Gilly's self-superior attitude did her no favors in public school, either. With no money to buy friends with she was miserable with her lack of actual social skills. By the time she hit high school she'd learned how to keep an impassive, polite expression on her face in response to criticism or (sometimes only perceived) slights. She was an average student, no greatness shining through hardship, and graduated without much more than the degree to her name. By that point her relationship with her parents had also deteriorated, both considering her lazy for not working and going to school at the same time and her considering them idiots for losing the business in the first place. Both considerations were without merit or any real proof, but they managed to destroy everyone's relationships. Within months Gilly packed up everything she had and, with nothing keeping her in the town she was in, hitch hiked to Sepalum, remembering how much she liked it as a kid and how pretty it was. When she arrived she was a little disappointed, perceiving everything as a little less sparkly and golden and perfect now that she had to actually work for a living and interact with people who could tell her to bugger off rather than responding with a prim 'yes miss'. With what little money she had left she got a room at the inn and searched for jobs. If it weren't for the world she'd grown up in she would've been out of luck and jobless. As it were, since she grew up knowing expensive jewels, popular names of jewelers, and what colors would work with what outfit and skin complexion, she was a good match for the jewelery store. A part of Gilly still longs for her childhood memories of finery and her own glittering jewels and beautiful dresses. Since she mostly focuses her income on food, rent for her small house, the bills, and some material for the pretty (not beautiful, but pretty enough) dresses she wears, that memory of finery is probably going to get very dusty before she gets a chance at it again. If that chance ever happens. SKILLS + mining: LEVEL ONE + fishing: LEVEL ONE ETCETERA + Gilly absolutely despises her name and will often not tell people what her actual name is, introducing herself as Gilly instead of Gilifred. Whatever possessed her parents to name her that she'll never guess, but Gilly works well enough for her, thank you very much. + Her odd mixture of judgmental and understanding comes from her past. She'll make snap decisions that are very, extremely judgmental (someone comes in covered in dirt = 'uuugh. Don't they know how to bathe properly!? Probably not. Idiot'), but once she gets to know someone and their situation is explained a bit more she eases up and can be very sweet and understanding, always there for someone to cry on her shoulder or offer the best advice she can if advice is needed (even if the advice isn't always very good due to her limited knowledge of most things generally considered normal). + In an unusual stroke of good fortune, due to a class she took and actually continued as a child, Gilly can make her own clothes. It's why she has some rather pretty dresses that she wears everywhere. Granted, the material to make the dresses aren't nearly what she'd like (if someone gave her some Italian Silks she'd go insane in gratitude), but something is better than nothing. + At five feet one inch Gilly is often considered 'tiny'. She doesn't exactly mind, since she likes being likened to porcelain dolls and other small, delicate, pretty things that rich people have. It also allows her to punch people in the stomach rather than the face and risk scraping/bruising/breaking her hand. + Gilly sometimes has trouble with authority. It's not enough to get her in major trouble (no jail time or anything), but if a customer tells her they want necklace A and she feels that they wouldn't do well with it and tells them so, directing them to necklace B, and they tell her to bugger off, no, they want necklace A, she'll put on her pleasant smile and tell them where they can shove necklace A because they're too incompetent to listen to somebody who knows what they're talking about. If they try to pull the whole 'the customer is always right', there is a chance she'll hit them with something.
