SWEAR TO SHAKE IT UP, IF YOU SWEAR TO LISTEN [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]
| Due to her high upbringing friendships can be rather difficult to create and maintain. Well, her up bringing is part of the problem. The other part is her personality. Since she believes she is 'better' than most people, has a more refined taste, and is violent when opposed. This, of course, makes the faint of heart rather understandably reluctant to befriend her. Once her friendship is gained, however, she is loyal and understanding, always one of the first people to volunteer to be the shoulder someone needs to cry on or to listen or give as good of advice as she can give (though it would probably be smarter to not take her advice as she's a little out of touch with reality). |
HE SENSES SOMETHING, CALL IT DESPERATION [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]
| Gilly doesn't know the first thing about how to romance or flirt with the other sex. If she did it could be considered that she's a little bit of a gold digger. Attracted to sophistication, wealth, and all around sleekness, Gilly's looking for someone to take her out of her situation and support her for the rest of her life without her having to lift a finger. There are a few times, however, that she'll find herself attracted to the exact opposite. Salt of the earth people and ruffians can make her blush with demure if they sweet talk her right. |
NEVER LOOKED BETTER, AND YOU CAN'T STAND IT [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]
| Anyone who assumes they know better than her will instantly get on her bad side. She feels that she has a very refined taste in clothing and, especially, jewelry. So anyone who tells her, bluntly or not, that she's wrong or that they know what they're talking about and she doesn't (or just that they know what they're talking about, as she'll feel that it insinuates that she doesn't), she'll have a problem with them. Gilly will usually begin with what can be considered a warning. She'll get a sweet, pleasant smile on her face and tell them in no uncertain terms that they're idiots and what she plans to do to them. It would be wise to leave at this moment in time, because if pressed, she'll hit the person with something since simply punching them probably won't hurt them too much (and she likes looking delicate and unblemished). |
SO I GUESS WE'RE BACK TO US [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]
| Gilly was an only child, so she won't have any brothers or sisters (maybe half brothers or sisters?), but cousins are very open if anyone really wants it. There could also be those she knew from before her family's fall from grace, as well as those afterward (no doubt classmates from both halves of her life). There could also be co-workers and customers who recognize her and just sort of make light conversation, nothing more.
If somebody has an idea, go ahead and let me know! |

GILLY + MARC, so. marc is from a really rich family and is in line to take over the family law firm when his father retires, and maybe, just maybe, he knows her family? like, perhaps they grew up together, more or less, (he's three years her senior, so he would've been sixteen when her family lost the business, but it's a possibility), and when he moves to sepalum, he recognizes her. (does she still live in the inn? because marc is actually living there, as well, while he's on the island -- they could've run into each other.) i don't know how fond they'd be of each other, but maybe the sole fact that they're a familiar face will allow them to become friendly?
if you're interested in a romantic route, marc's appeal would probably be the money in his pocket, his overall poshness, and his intelligence (if she's...into that...). i could see them doing something kind of shallow for a while. i'm not sure if they'd end up together in the end, but they could be an interesting relationship to explore? honestly i just think they'd be a strange pair.
GILLY + FELICITE, felicite is the owner of the jewelry shop so gilly will be working underneath her. i can't see felicite actively disliking her -- in fact, fay would probably make excuses for gilly a lot of the time, blaming her immature behavior on the way she was raised -- but i can see felicite accidentally insulting her. like, a lot. they're around the same age, so maybe they could be friends if they can both get past first impressions? felicite would definitely be impressed with gilly's sewing skills, and maybe gilly could learn how to make some jewelry as well as sell it with felicite's help.
add/subtract/change completely?

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width:300px; padding: 05px;] GILLY AND MARC I am always up for romance lolol. Though I think you're right, their relationship will be a tad on the shallow side. I can't speak for Marc but for Gilly a lot of the attraction will be the money, any gifts, and a glimpse into the life she once had. Whether they actually move past the shallow phase is questionable, and, of course, explorable. He might like that she finds bowties cute.
She's no longer living in the inn, but they might've bumped into each other there, or one might've seen the other. I could see Gilly recognizing him by his hair and darting away real fast. Since he was only sixteen he might not've realized her family's business went bust (as he probably just wouldn't care at the time, more focused on his own life). I'll leave that one up to you.
|
| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width:300px; padding: 05px;] GILLY AND FELICITE I think Gilly would honestly have absolutely no idea why Felicite hates her (I mean, she's a perfect human being! Everyone should love her!), which would probably make it worse as she'd be snappish and annoyed and might one day even just break and shout that she hasn't done anything, no need for Felicite to jump down her throat. In less polite words. Which will likely make things worse. I think another aspect that would rub both of them the wrong way is that they seem to have kind of similar personalities (Gilly's, of course, being a tad more abrasive). I dunno about you, but most people I know who have similar personalities are generally trying to claw each other's eyes out.
Under her frustration and likely equal annoyance of Felicite, Gilly would probably highly respect her. Felicite gets that appearance is important, probably has a similar style to Gilly's (the nice, uber girly, uber pretty and frilly style), and no doubt knows what looks good with what. She would probably loudly talk down about her making her own jewelery but would actually be like a five year old with the wide eyes and the 'oooooooh'ing.

Hilariously Complicated Relationship
Ringo is a nice person...when you aren't being mean to other people. Ringo wouldn't exactly approve of Gilly's way of running a store (it's bad customer service!) and how she treats some people...yet at the same time he can't find it in himself to be completely mean to her. Maybe Gilly will be one of those rare people that Ringo is more vocally sarcastic to. Not to mention once Ringo saves the money he won't exactly make it a secret he is going to melt the jewels or grind them into fine powder for some magic ritual.
I can also imagine Ringo (rolling his and sighing) and helping out Gilly with whatever problem (petty or otherwise that she has) she might have thus further confusing Gilly. Kind of like a relationship between brother and sister? I dunno.
The relationship would essentially boil down to Ringo calling out Gilly on her...unique out of touch views and trying to help despite being a touch annoyed.
So yeahhhhh add/subtract/etc

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width:300px; padding: 05px;] GILLY AND RINGO I think you summed up their relationship very well. Hilariously complicated on both sides.
Gilly would not really appreciate him trying to tell her how to do her job. Normally she might give him some leeway with how she treats other people, but the moment he gets on her case about how she treats her clients she will attempt to verbally rip him a new one. And there's a chance she'll just refuse to sell anything to him and if she sees someone else selling something to him she'll chase him down the street screaming at him to drop the jewelery or face her like a man.
She would, however, appreciate him being there for her if she needs to go to someone for a problem or to work something out. As she was an only child she'd have no idea how to respond to him helping her out and might try to play it off with a 'hahahaha, you've finally accepted that I'm better than you and thus want to help me? Good' but would really being going 'wtf!?' in a good way.

GILLY + MARC, mm, i think a lot of the appeal marc sees in gilly would be the fact that they might've briefly known one another in their childhood - though i doubt that he would've actually known what happened to her family in the past, since marc would've been much more focused on his brother's absence than another family's problems. marc's never had a relationship, but from the way he was raised, all he knows are shallow aspects of it, so he'd definitely be one to shower a girl in gifts and compliments. he would also appreciate that she'd like his bow ties - everyone else wants them burned.
hm, marc only just recently came to sepalum (number one reason he's living in the inn atm), so unless she visits the bar or goes there for dinner, i'm not sure if they would've bumped into each other there. marc does have a sister that works there as a bartender, so marc is there often to talk to her, but i feel like gilly might avoid that as well. ouo ANYWAYS if we could get them to meet - like, marc going up to the jewelry store to pick up something for elizah out of the goodness of his heart - i think it could be an interesting relationship to test out, though, as we've said, it does feel very shallow without much room for depth. (i'm also still testing out marc's sexuality, so it could be that he's not even interested in girls, but i want to explore that.)
GILLY + FELICITE, i do see a lot of similarities in these two, for sure. i do feel like fay is a little more careful about what is said to customers, though, so that's something about gilly that would really get on her nerves. i'd like to thread these two sometime, test the waters, but i'm not sure i have any ideas - if you have any, i'd love to hear. x

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width:300px; padding: 05px;] GILLY AND MARC That's what I was thinking. No need to know about other families when your own life is much more important to you (especially at 16).
The bar might actually be a good place for them to meet. Wine is kind of a reminder of Gilly's childhood and she might use some extra money to feel rich again by drinking really nice wine. Not to mention it'll give them a chance to talk a little bit and a tiny bit get to know each other. (If it turns out he isn't straight/not interested in girls that could be a little funny with Gilly kinda going 'wat!? I turned you gay!?' while completely missing the actual point).
|
| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width:300px; padding: 05px;] GILLY AND FELICITE I don't really have anything for them right now (unless you count Gilly being snappish at a customer and Felicite swooping down to put her in her place, insert argument here, etc.) counts. Since I'm not sure exactly where it would go in the short run, I don't. But I'll definitely let you know if I get an idea!
