Appearance:
Gisela is surely not a girl you could call short or small. She is just kinda in between. Gisela stands at five feet and six inches and weighs about one-hundred and twenty-eight pounds. She is fast on her feet when the time calls for it and she is quite the lithe thing as well for someone at her height. She doesn’t seem to be a nice medium height though. In fact, she seemed to appreciate her seemingly un-intimidating height when it came to her training as a Healer. Though her build looks completely un-intimidating, this girl’s face has been known to show some rather intimidating expressions at times. Especially when she doesn’t like something that’s going on around her, whether the thing be directed at her or something/someone she believes she has a responsibility over. The expressions she usually shows tends to be rather kind and complacent for the most part though. But at the same time, this girls expressions also consist of very determined looks and occasionally pure irritation can be seen on this face as well. It all depends on her mood when it comes right down to it as is true with most people.

Gisela is described as having chest length black locks thick with rippling waves of natural curl running through it. Her bangs hang just over her eyes and are often pushed to the side to make sure they stay out of her face. She has a very strange coloration of brown for her eyes. Though they are indeed brown, these eyes also seem to have slight hints of red mixed in with the brown of her eyes. Being surprisingly more of a outdoorsy type of girl when she can be, Gisela’s skin is a nice beige color and her hair is often rather messy as well. She doesn’t seem to mind a messy appearance though. One thing is for sure though, she does not like restricting clothing. If she finds something to restricting for herself, she will simply refuse to wear it. This is probably one of the reasons why you can often see her in trousers and a shirt rather then a dress. Gisela doesn’t seem to mind dresses that much either though. She enjoys the freedom that her legs get from the confides of trousers. She also tends to dress for the seasons and not to accentuate her own appearance.

This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have her own form of attraction about her though. Her attractiveness doesn’t seem to come from pretty beauty, but rather a odd beauty do to her oddly long appearance. She isn’t what you would call busty, but she isn’t exactly what you would call flat-chested either. She has a nice medium sized bust that she is rather satisfied with and she really doesn’t care if others feel the opposite of how she feels. After all, it is her body. Why should she care about such things? Like most women, this young lady has a nice pair of full lips that seem to be only a little pinker then her skin. Though some might see this as surprising do to her lengthy and thin build, Gisela does sport some muscle. Of course, this muscle isn’t exactly what you would call a important trait to her appearance.

Most do not expect this of this healer, but this young lady has been known to show so rather seductive and enticing expressions as well. This is a clear dead ringer that this girl is not a newcomer to the world of sexual intimacy. Though these looks do occur they are not with in the more obvious expressions that she often shows. These expressions are often usually shared when she is the company of those that she has a interest in and it usually takes a lot to get her interested. But when she does get interested, the person she finds interesting may see these expression more then they would like.

Personality:
Gisela is a girl of many faces to put it simply. Being usually very kind and caring, this young woman has been known to be very understanding and gentle with those she is medically attending to and those who treat her well. She is usually very soft spoken and charming to these people most of the time. She doesn‘t really like to raise her voice around those she is attending to either, but occasionally this needs to be broken. Gisela is also known to be a good listening when she isn’t busy doing something she finds more important and needed. However, when she listens to someone’s problems, she is always trying to formulate a way to fix the problem in the back of her mind. She doesn’t like to see the people around her in pain whether it be physical or mental. She likes to see people happy, healthy, and at peace. This is one of the main reason why she decided the healing path was the best for her and she hasn’t yet found herself regretting that decision. Another thing that’s very noticeable about her, is her love for children. This might branch from the fact that she had no siblings or some motherly instinct deep with in her. Either way, she can’t seem to help her love for the little trouble making mess makers and often finds herself playing with the younglings in creche sometimes.

Gisela is very Diligent in everything that she does. Especially in her works as a healer do to her love of the job. When she is needed, she comes without a question and does what is necessary to complete her job. She does not complain about what she has chosen for herself and she will not stop working until she is forced to do so or her patient is fixed. Gisela can also be explained as a bit of a perfectionist. If she does something that isn’t perfect, she either restarts from the beginning or tries to make it as perfect as she can. She doesn’t like time limits either because it makes it that much easier for her to make a mistake. One thing she has yet to learn how to tolerate is death. She considers death as failure and, like everyone else in the world, she hates failure. Failure is possibly the easiest way to make this young woman truly and deeply upset to the point of a complete and total emotional breakdown depending on the form of failure. And her failures are one of the things she never forgets or forgives herself for. Failure is not the only reason why this girl can’t tolerate death though.

Gisela silently blames herself for those she can’t protect from deaths grip due to the fact that her abilities couldn‘t save them or she was simply to slow to do so. This has also dealt a blow to her psyche as well. This girl has such a fear of losing people that she clings to the people she cares about completely unwilling to let them go. Call it being overly possessive if you like, but this is just the way she is. Of course, she never admits to anyone her fears do to the great amount of pride she holds. She would rather fight her fears on her own then rely on someone to help her. After all, why burden someone with her problems when she can function just fine with them? She does not see herself as broken. She sees herself as strong enough to eventually be able to defeat this fear on her own. She refuses to let herself be a victim of death’s grip and she has made it her life’s goal to defend the weyr against the unbeatable reaper of lives for as long as she can.

Of course, Gisela is not all sunshine and daisies. This girl also has many traits that people often find annoying and down right out of place for someone in her standings. One thing that occasionally annoys people about her is another intolerance that she holds. Her intolerance to things she finds stupid as well as stupid actions. It is more of the way she handles these things that really annoys people. This girl has no qualms against calling people out on there stupidity and has often gotten in trouble for doing so. She seems to have no problem getting in trouble for what she believes in though. Gisela has no problems at all telling people what she thinks when she feels they are in the wrong and she doesn’t seem to have the ability to put a filter on her mouth when she does so. Then again, this brash girl sees no reason for a filter when she is stating what she believes as the truth. She sees no reason why she should have to hold her tongue when she is trying to help people understand what they are doing is wrong or when she feels something needs to be said for the sake of the people around her. Gisela has been known to go into idealistic rants on how she believes things could be done to make things better and she personally doesn’t really mind if someone with power hears her saying it. In fact, she hopes that if they hear her words, they will try and fix the problem.

Gisela has been known to be very bullheaded as well. She refuses to give up on anything she sets her mind on and she refuses to change her beliefs and thoughts for anyone else’s sake. This could also be blamed on the flame of pride that exists within this girl’s heart or the strong will that fills this girl’s being with a ferocious fighting spirit for what she believes in. Though this girl has a strong fighting spirit, Gisela has no intention of actually hurting people physically. She doesn’t believe that senseless fighting will get anyone anywhere and she will not start any such senselessness herself. The one thing that this girl believes should be fought against is the menace known to all as thread. As a threat to the people she wishes to protect, she herself would gladly help annihilate the threat of the deadly spores that plagues the planet and the people she loves. Do to this she has often wondered what it would be like to be a dragon rider and she holds the utmost respect for the dragon riders as well. She sees them a warriors of light fighting off the evil menace that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. For this, she could never hold anything akin to a grudge or bad feelings against a dragon rider. That is, unless they do something truly stupid and immoral. Then she has no problems telling them to go jump between.

When Gisela is treating a seriously wounded person, like usual, this girl becomes very serious and starts doing what she can for her patient. But she also gets demanding and irritable with the people. Of course, this is not aimed at her patient. This is usually aimed at the people around her. Especially if they are just standing around doing nothing when she obviously needs some assistance that they could give. This gets her very irritated very fast and she starts to shout and demand that people help or go away. She doesn’t like people who stand around and watch what she is doing when she is working. This is mainly because she surprisingly gets nervous when she people watch her work. She is one of those people that personally like to do their work in private. Sadly, not all medical emergencies can be taken to a private place. It doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t like people watching her and she tends to get more irritated then usual when people start to crowd around her. She does tend to apologize for her behavior at a later time, but this is usually only after she has finally gotten over their actions.

Gisela is somewhat terrified of being put in a leadership positions as well. Not because she doesn’t think she could lead, but because she is afraid that she would be more of a dictator then a good leader. It’s not that she doesn’t love the people of the Weyr and holds or anything. She just knows how she can get when she is put in charge of something. Occasionally she acts perfectly fine, but other times she seems to become quite the demanding person. Especially when something isn’t done to her standards. She knows her flaws all to well to ever think she could ever be a good leader and she doesn’t mind the fact. In fact, she reviles in the fact that she would be a bad leader. It was simply something that she never wanted to be and it was as simple as that.

The last thing that should be known about Gisela is her sexual side. Bet you didn’t think she had one. But she surprisingly does have a very sensual side to her that few people get to see. Though this girl is bisexual, she is very picky about her partners and will rarely ever just pick some random person she knows nothing about unless she is desperate. The easiest way to win this girl over is to impress her in someway that she wants. The problem is, she never tells anyone what she wants from them if she wants anything and it seems to change with each person. Another thing that should be known about this girl is that she will not partner with someone less dominating then herself. They can be at the same level or above, but never under. She wants to someone that can match her in dominance and wouldn’t even consider someone in whom she could dominate easily. She likes a challenge and she likes to be challenging. It’s just the way she is. She also doesn't seem to mind the sex of the person as long as they can acheive all she wants.

History:
Being born to her mother, a Journeywoman healer named Maisela, and her father, a Journeyman healer named Gaylin, Gisela was practically born into the life of a healer. From a very young age, Gisela’s parent started to teach her the basics of their craft hoping that they would one day have a daughter to follow in their footsteps. Luckily for them, this young lady was more then happy to learn the skills of a healer. When she was very young, no more then six turns old, her parents started taking her on herb gathering trips with them. It was on these trips that her parents would often teach her what each plant was and what healing properties they had. Being as young as she was, it took her a little while to drink it all in. Eventually she got each one stored in her mind though and she never seemed to let any of the information go. It was when she turned eight turns old that her parents permitted her to go gather the herbs they needed on her own. She enjoyed the work and she diligently did what she could for her parents. Even at this age, her perfectionist side started to show. If the plant she was trying to harvest from was not perfect, she wouldn’t even consider gathering from it unless her parents were desperate for it.

When Gisela turned twelve turns of age, she was sent to the healers hall near Fort Weyr to get further training in the path that her parents had started for her. She found life at the hall very enjoyable. She made friends with many of the other apprentices and even found herself in a couple of short lived relationships. Of course, through she diligently did whatever was asked of her as perfectly as she could, she also found herself getting into more trouble then was necessary because of her big mouth and her inability to keep her thoughts to herself. She didn’t seem to mind the fact that she often got in trouble though. After all, why should she feel bad for something she sees as truth in her eyes. It seemed plain stupid and immoral to keep something to herself when she knows it needs to be said.

At the age of 15 turns, Gisela witnessed her first death. It was at one of Fort Weyr’s hatchings and it was a gruesome sight to behold. Candidate had not been paying attention and had been bulled over by a dragon when it had been running to it’s chosen one. The dragonet had injured the candidate so badly that he had bleed out on the sands before one of the weyr healers could get to him. Not long after the candidate’s death, one of the dragonets gave a keen of despair then disappeared forever. Gisela couldn’t help the tears that came to her eyes when she saw this. Her heart cried out to the lost soul of the candidate and the dragon. This was when her intolerance for death started to develop. She had seen death and she didn’t like it. She also knew that any mistake as a healer could lead to death as well and she refused to let such a thing happen under her watch giving her her intolerance for failure.

It was actually at this hatching that she had been noticed by one of the search pairs as a possible candidate, but she refused the offer of candidacy. Not because she wasn’t interested in being a dragon rider, but because she wanted to at least get to journeyman status before the possibility of impression. With that, Gisela returned to the healer hall and continued her studies along with the other healer apprentices. It was when she turned seventeen turns that she finally became a journeywoman. With this, Gisela struck out on her travels. First going to Fort hold, as many journeyman healers did, she practiced her craft their for a little while. But word got to her that healers were needed in the Southern Continent. Though she didn’t wish to leaver her family in the north, Gisela couldn’t help but feel a great want to go there. Especially after hearing the stories of what had happened to Akum Weyr. If she was to be transferred, she knew that was the place where she was needed the most. Do to this, she put her transfer request in to the hall and her request was accepted. She explained this to her parents and they accepted her wishes and Gisela started her travels southwards towards Sea Spray Hold and Akum Weyr.

Finding transport across the southern sea and to Akum Weyr, Gisela soon found herself at the Hold were she would now practice her medical skills. She took to her new home well enough for someone who had not been this far away from her family before. But she knew this was not where she needed to be. Where she need to be was at the Weyr it’s self. Or at least, that was where she had hoped she would be transferred to. Seeing as this was were she was told she was needed, she accepted her place in sea spray hold and began her work there. Gisela found life at the hold rather dull and eventless for the most part, but she did her work diligently and even made a couple of friends within the hold. She was more then surprised to see the truth about the firebirds existences when she finally saw one of the beautiful creatures with her own eyes. However, she didn’t like the fact that some of her patients were brought to her because of these creatures though. She couldn’t bring herself to hold it against them though. After all, they were supposedly still young and made of fire. There was bound to be mistakes every now and again.

When she caught wind of the holds stupid disbeliefs in Akum Weyr, Gisela didn’t take it to kindly. Being the outspoken tip of person she is, she found herself belligerently stating exactly what she thought of the lord holder’s actions against the Weyr right in front of the lord holder himself. As usual, she didn’t care what he thought and he seemed to have the same thoughts as she. At least until her mouth got a little to far ahead of her and she was transferred Crystal Cave Hold after only spending half a turn in the hold. On arriving at her new home, she was quickly put to work. Being a miner hold for the most part, Gisela spent most of her time healing those that had been injured within the minds. She found this hold a lot more eventful then the other and found herself enjoying this hold much more then the seaside hold she had been transferred from. Of course, she still had the same issue with the lord of this hold as well. This lord seemed to be willing to put up with her big mouth though and she eventually grew accustomed to life in the mountain hold.

Her stay there was short lived however when the dragon riders came to search for candidates for the Dyamoth’s clutch. When they arrived at the hold, Gisela was soon noticed for her potential and yet again she was asked if she would become a candidate. This time Gisela did not refuse the offer though. She had finally reached the level of Journeywoman and, though this hold needed her, she longed for the chance to join the dragon riders as a dragon rider herself. She accepted the offer and yet again she moved from her new home and was taken to the Weyr to start her life as a candidate.

I like her Shori - I can't find many inherent flaws in her that would make her a problem to be a character. You gave her flaws and attractive aspects. Made her overall a well rounded character. I see no reason to disapprove.
