Description

In terms of height and weight, Gina is around average for a girl of her age, if not a little less. Being five feet six inches, she is large enough to hold her ground against many opponents, but nowhere near big enough to be considered a giant. Her slim body suggests a weight lower than one hundred thirty-five pounds. However, the muscle mass she has gained from constant physical training makes her weigh more than one might guess. Her skin has no visible scars when wearing her normal outfit, but bruises can sometimes be seen on the parts of her body that are exposed, hinting at a constant life of fighting in hand to hand combat.

For maximum ease of movement, Gina has always enjoyed wearing the same type of martial artist uniform that she grew up with. The white shirt and pants are loose and comfortable. Below them she has a red, sleeveless shirt and gray shorts, but these are hardly ever seen since she rarely takes her uniform off around others. She dislikes shoes and never wears them if she can help it. The black belt she wears shows that she has finished the training necessary to be called a master in technique, though how well this applies in real fights waits to be seen. Her long, black hair is kept tied back with a yellow ribbon in a bow. Her brown eyes have a tendency to show little of her feelings, as if she keeps them locked away.

Personality

One of Gina's most noticeable traits is her sense of responsibility. This mostly comes from her role as being a big sister, or almost a mother, to Suzy. But it does not just extend to her little sister. She also takes a lot of tasks upon herself for people she cares about, or ones she thinks need help. It is this that often motivates her to ask if something is wrong for those who seem to be in trouble. Generally, seeing others happy is what makes her happy, especially in the case of Suzy.

However, she has trouble with accepting help from other people, to the point that she gets jealous of them when they step in to assist her. In addition, she has a hard time with criticism. Though it should be used to improve herself, which she knows, she tends to respond by instinct with defenses for herself and why her way works. Sometimes she has small outbursts when she feels pressured in this regard. While she usually will sober up and apologize later, along with taking the lesson to heart, it is an admission that is difficult for her. This is especially true when it comes to her streak of bad luck. Most of the time, it really does feel to her as though it is not her fault that she messed up, and she tries to explain that in an almost desperate fashion.

By default, Gina tries to not show many of her emotions. She has tried to be a strong role model for Suzy and does not want her little sister to see cracks in her powerful image. As a result, even though she loves her sister more than anything, Gina has a hard time showing it. Crying is avoided at all costs and is one of the most embarrassing things that could happen for her, as it would symbolize an utter loss of control. One reason she flees from criticism is she is afraid her control over her emotions will be lost from frustration and anger at herself, and she does not want anyone to see her that way.

Gina was born in a small town, Rogard, that was located in the North. The people there were close to their neighbors, supporting one another through harsh winters and whenever the times grew difficult. As such, Gina grew up with an expectation to work. And work she did, ever since she could walk, starting with small jobs and graduating to larger ones. As a result, her body got built up well, but she always felt tired and drained. Her parents were very much into helping others. The irony was that they often overlooked their daughter, unless she made mistakes. Many mistakes came from Gina. She would try to stack firewood, only to get a splinter under her fingernail, drop the offending log, and cause the entire pile to fall on her. Or she would drag a sled of food to the village, slip on an icy patch, and send the sled flying into one of the villagers, resulting in angry shouting and ruined meals. She was always scolded for these, even though she tried to explain that they were not her fault, they were just incredible cases of bad luck.

The birth of her younger sister changed her completely. When Gina was twelve years old, her parents had a second daughter, Suzanna Orlanda. Like their first daughter, they were too busy to take much notice of her. It was left to Gina to take care of Suzy, as she liked to call her little sister. Suzy got closer to Gina as a result, seeing her as a stand-in for the mother who was never there, and trusting her big sister more than anyone else. When working with Suzy, Gina was far more careful, making sure she made none of the mistakes or suffered from accidents like she had before.

Once Gina was sixteen and Suzy was four, tragedy struck their village in the form of an avalanche. How it happened, Gina never found out. She had been a short distance away from the village with Suzy when everyone else was buried. They were far enough that the snow only covered them partially, so Gina was able to dig Suzy out. She then began the long, cold trek to find a place of safety.

After three days of traveling, doing her best to keep Suzy warm and avoid collapsing, she came on a monastery. The monastery had many monks and was run by a man named Marco Jangen, or Master Jangen to his several students. When the two girls came to the large door, he was quick to bring them in and to take care of them. Gina told Jangen of their destroyed village, which led him to welcome them both as long as they wished to stay.

Adapting well to the lifestyle in the monastery, Gina began to take lessons from Jangen, learning the martial arts that he had taught so many others. She loved the idea behind them, that they were a method to protect, not hurt. Only when guarding yourself or someone dear to you were you to use the techniques, and she embraced that policy. Between that and helping with chores, she took care of Suzy. Suzy grew up seeing the many people in the monastery as family, though Gina was the person she remained closest to. Gina was also seen in good light, though many people tried to avoid sparring with her. Due to her infamous bad luck, she tended to injure herself and others badly even in practice fights. She was especially well known for one instance where she kicked someone on the elbow, nearly breaking her own foot and falling onto the only patch of sharp stone in the entire area.

A short while ago, Suzy suddenly vanished. Gina instantly went looking for her, worried to death about her sister. Her search came up empty-handed for a full day. The next morning, she found a note that had been left for her. It said her sister had been taken, and that if Gina wanted her back, she would have to recover the artifact her village had been guarding. This meant nothing to Gina; she had never heard of such a thing. When she asked Jangen about it, he said he had heard legends about it, and that perhaps the avalanche had not been a natural occurrence as always thought. He went with Gina, and they found a location where the artifact had once been. It was no longer there. However, they found some corpses that had been naturally preserved. Their weapons had an insignia that Gina and Jangen did not recognize.

When they arrived back at the monastery, Jangen did some research. He came across a similar symbol that was said to mark a gang of bandits called Flurry's Edge. This was not much of a lead, but Gina needed something to go on, and this seemed best. She bid her master farewell, promising she would return once she found her little sister. She then began to travel, heading to the city of Everlund in hopes of learning where these bandits might be located. Once there, she discovered that while nobody knew specifically of the group she searched for, there were many attacks being made from a variety of bandits. It seemed like a good starting point, and Gina wanted to help the people who were suffering from the bandit attacks. So she went to volunteer her services without hesitation.

-

First and foremost is her desire to find her sister. Gina sees it as her duty to take care of Suzy, and loves her more than anything else. She wants to help other people on the way, but is most concerned for Suzy. Sometimes it leads her to question using her time to assist with matters she is not involved in. The thought of leaving innocents in dire straights is too much of a call for her to ignore, in spite of that.

While this is not nearly as important to her as Suzy, Gina also desires to become stronger and wiser in the way of martial arts. She has great admiration for masters of it, seeing them as the closest things someone could get to a perfect guardian. The thought of being such a perfect guardian for Suzy appeals to her. She also thinks that it makes her a better person. If she could capture the calmness that so many skilled martial artists have, she would not be affected by criticism and harsh words. The amount of experience from training she has now is more than many could claim, but it seems like only the beginning to Gina.
