Name: Gisela Graf
Nickname: Sel
Age: 24
Birthday: 8/30/1994
Sign: Virgo
Gemstone: Peridot
Blood Type: B+
Fav. Food: Bratwurst
Hated Food: Saurkraut - It's a THING.
School: Destiny City Citizen
Hobbies: Pottery - Gisela took a pottery class in College to meet an Arts requirement, and discovered, to her surprise, that she loved it. Now, she does it for fun, and the occasional bit of extra money. It's never a serious thing for her, but she is decent at it and her pots usually sell well if she takes them to a craft fair.
Home Cheese Making - Cheese is fantastic. She LOVES cheese. As such, she learned how to make cheese at home. She's not up to making FANCY cheeses, but she can make some basic cheese, and is very proud of her production.
Virtues: Strong Willed -- Gisela's mother raised her to be a strong willed woman, who would do what she needed to do to get ahead in life. Gisela's former husband could have attested to that, was he still with the world. She had found, amongst the various Opera fans, a wealthy old man and made something of an old fashioned arrangement with him... And managed to convince him to wed her, even though he had never planned to wed anyone. She has also used this to attain the coveted Prima Donna position at the Opera House, more then once.
Fiscally Wise -- Gisela is very good at investing, and making sure her finances remain sound. She will not allow herself to be dependent on another person, ever again, for support, no matter what, so she has gone to a great deal of effort and study to make sure that she knows how to invest wisely, and how to spend with caution. She is, in fact, rather driven by money, and it is a focus for her. She saw, all too often as a child, what it was like to not have enough money. She studied and learned how to invest, and has turned this into more then a skill... It is a fundamental aspect of who she is, and how she sees herself. In her eyes, being fiscally wise is the epitome of what is good and true in the world.
Flaws: A Touch Greedy -- The flip side to her fiscal wisdom is a desire for more money, more signs of wealth, more... More of everything that shows she has attained success. As such, she will scheme to get that coveted Prima Donna position, because it pays better. She will try to cut in with a better deal on a property investment, just so she can show off her latest acquisition of land... Though of course, it's an INVESTMENT, for rent.
Vain -- Some say beauty is not important, but Gisela knows this is false. Everything she has seen in her life has shown her that beautiful people are the ones who succeed, especially for women. Gisela works hard to preserve her perfect skin, her figure, her face, and gets furious at insults to her looks. She IS beautiful, she knows it, and she will keep herself that way, too. This is to the point where she could easily be described as obsessed with it. She will put off non-essential social engagements and events to do beauty treatments, and will try the new, weird ones that people claim will preserve youth and beauty. Snail Slime Facial? She's done it. Fad diets to make sure she stays at the right weight? She's probably done them too. She will do just about anything to keep her beauty at the level she feels is required.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Silver, large (See Nega Art for shape)
Hair: Icy blue, in curling waves that go to her mid-back, pinned back from her face with a silver clip shaped like an eagle.
Face: ... See the Nega art plz? Same general shape, no freckles, a smile with burgundy lipstick?
Clothes: She wears a dark red skirt suit with a white shirt under, black stockings, and dark red pumps. She has a silver necklace on with a pendant that is shaped like an oak leaf.

It has a small amount of magic in it to add a small electrical charge that shocks the user when it strikes an enemy.

Ach! My heart. Loves bratwurst but hates saurkraut, I might not be able to continue. Kidding, of course! Hello Aria and congrats on your raffle win! Let's see what we need to do in order to get you up and going to get this lovely lady into play once she's finished! For starters, Graf is available as a last name. Virtues and flaws check out, although 'Strong Willed' is reading a bit more like 'Cunning' to me. She's used her whiles to get herself in a fancy position, whereas I might take 'Strong Willed' to be more that she climbed her way to the top without using her connections with the well-to-do patron of the arts who became her husband (not that there is anything wrong with doing so either way! I just wanted to clarify!) On the Negaverse side of things: Unfortunately, Negaverse agents cannot have weapons that are flaming/on fire. Although this premade's weapon was listed as 'candle' it was intended to be a battery operated candle like the ones you see around the holidays! That said, you could still continue with a similar weapon progression if you wanted to, but we wouldn't be able to approve actual flames, as the magic for Negaverse weapons is more of a weapon enchantment than full magic (an example would be a weapon that leaves behind a warm, burning sensation when someone is struck with it). If you would like help brainstorming things, given this need for a change, please let me know! You can either quote me here or send me a PM and I'll be happy to help! [Quick edit and sorry for the double-quote.... Walpurgite is available as a Nega name! Should have added that in, but you're good there!]

I reworked her weapon growth. Is this more acceptable?

Hello again! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! The updated weapon progression will definitely work out. The only thing that I need prior to dropping a trial stamp is a bit of clarification on the shocking sensation. Is it just a vague tingle or is it something that numbs the area it touches? As long as you set a reasonable base-line you can notate that players are welcome to play up the severity of the sensation if they'd like to be damaged more! Just need to know what that base is! Thank you!

Yes, thank you! It looks good enough that I'm going to drop a trial stamp, although the GMs might ask you to add on a time limit for how long the numbing effect lasts so it might not be a bad idea to slip that in there before they come by for a final stamp! Enjoy playing once she's approved!

Hey, Aria! I apologize for the delay in getting to this! We discussed her 'fiscally wise' virtue over PMs and you did a really good job of explaining why this is so absolutely important to her character that it should be considered a virtue. From it we can infer some really positive traits about her that people could admire, and knowing that she seems very shrewd I think we can expect that this will be played as a positive trait of hers, and will be applicable in a wide variety of situations given how absolutely fundamental it is to her whole character. Thank you so much for working with me to help explain this! Have fun!
