[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]


Gisella is a strong woman, she has to be, who despite not knowing herself truly know that she is stalwart and brave. She puts loyalty to her Goddess and the love of her sister Huntresses above almost all else though she does enjoy the thrill of the Hunt. Crossing blades, felling beasts and being free. Free from the burdens of the Legionnaires and Greeks alike, free from her own past. She is a gentle soul at heart who puts the needs of others before her own and stands in the path of danger willingly. Whatever the Hunt asks of her she does and when their Goddess is apart from them Gisella stands as a loyal, diligent, cunning and careful commander who would ask nothing of her sister-hunters that she would not do herself.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]


Gisella remembers almost nothing of her life before the burning of Camp Halfblood, she remembers the heat and the feeling of the earth beneath her hands. Dry, like dust. She remembers the silvery glistening of a bow in the night as a Hunter of Artemis pulled her from the flames and tended her wounds. They camped beside the burned out husk of her home for three days while the Hunter tended her wounds and they talked, her wounds were clear signs of a battle or struggle but Gisella could offer no answers other than her name and the voice whispering in her mind; her mother. Despite not knowing herself Gisella swore that she would join the Hunters if her companion would guide her to the Goddess Artemis and thus a bargain was made. Guidance for an oath. It was but a day later that she found herself before the Goddess of the Hunt swearing to take no lover but the Hunt, to walk with the Goddess with unwavering loyalty and so being Gisella, Huntress of Artemis became her identity. Completely.

Gisella revelled in the thrill of the hunt beside Artemis and she fought valiantly against many of the beasts that crossed their path, those they hunted and otherwise, providing to be a steadfast member of the Hunt even in the face of terror incarnate. Not only did Gisella prove to be steadfast but she proved to be a loyal, loving sister to the fellow Hunters even in the absence of their leader. She led many hunts with small groups of her sisters to pursue the strange and wonderful beasts, each more dangerous than the last and whenever their Goddess walked with them Gisella grew as both a warrior and a member of the Hunt. Over the hunts and months Gisella grew closer and closer to her sister hunters and to Artemis thus when their Goddess had to leave once more it was Gisella she asked to lead them.

Gisella, who still knows nothing of her past, ascended to the rank of Lieutenant of the Hunters. To lead them in Artemis’ stead, a duty she gratefully accepted as it not only gave her a purpose but an identity and a family particularly as she rebuilds her own identity having lost herself. Literally.

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]







Darkfang & Heartrender; Once these blades of Stygian Iron were one, a blade bound to the children of darkness and yet it was shattered upon the birth of Gisella then reforged into two blades. One measuring 12 and a half inches, far longer than most Greek blades, while the other measures a mere 5 and half inches. Each blade bears but a single unwavering edge and a sword-breaking hook near the tip, designed to wrap around blades to throw them aside or even shatter the steel. Each blade has a curved tip and sharpened quillons. The blades were there when Gisella woke and she knows only that they were a gift from her Mother in days gone by, blades given to her to protect her and allow her to flourish. Removed from the Underworld by stealth and subterfuge hidden from the sight of Hades, and all the Gods, by a sliver of Persephone’s power and only discovered as she swore her oath to Artemis.

Beast bond; The seasons are bound together with the beasts and the plants as readily as life is bound to the sun so when a Vampire Bat was born and abandoned Persephone reached out to her daughter. It is one of her few memories, the voice of her mother guiding her to the tiny creature and commanding her to care for it. To feed it from only one source and grant it only one place from which it must take water, the touch of Persephone empowered the beast letting it grow even larger than most bats. Powerful, incredibly large and fiercely loyal. Persephone’s power touched the beast granting it a bond with her daughter, meaning that Ungrim lives for as long as Gisella lives regardless of what happens to him. Should he be cut down Ungrim will regrow from the Earth and rejoin his master but every time he falls Gisella’s life is shortened by one year, only being staved off by the eternal youth of her bond to Artemis. That link forged between them by her mother allows her to see through Ungrim's eyes and command it without words though she can make no sense of the creature's thoughts.

Gifts of the Hunt;[break]
Eternal Youth: Depending on who you asked the Huntresses are either blessed, or cursed, with a gift normally bestowed only upon those of true divine lineage. They cannot age and thus they do not die of old age nor illness, they may only fall in battle or upon forsaking their oaths to their Goddess. Many among their ranks have seen ages long forgotten by their short-lived kin and only remembered by the Gods though many have fallen prey to their own emotions, desires and to battle.[break]
Archery: Huntresses are masters of the hunt and thus their chosen weapon, the bow. Their bows are extensions of their own being. [break]
Enhanced Physical Prowess: Huntresses are strengthened beyond that even of their kin, stronger, faster and more agile than even some of the strongest amongst the children of the Gods. [break]
Zoolingualism: They can communicate with wild animals, particularly predators like Wolves.[break]
Equipment; A silver bow and arrows, a celestial bronze dagger and Moonwater.
