Name: Gertrud Linysova Age: 18 Gender: Female Species: Meister Appearance: Gertrud is a tall woman, standing 5'11, with her spindly, ominous figure accentuating that height. She is built thin, and appears far more fragile than one would expect a meister to be. Her face is sharply cut, with angular, serious looking features that make her look perpetually upset. Her eyes are deep set and shadowed, but are a light shade of hazel bordering on yellow that lend them a kind of energy. Her hair is black, and drapes over her shoulders and neck in curls. She habitually maintains that unruly mop of hair but it can easily get the better of even her meticulous attitude. She dresses plainly when casual, in neutral colored trousers and white collared shirts of varying sleeve length. In dress or on duty as a student of the DWMA she wears a black three piece suit, with one of her collared shirts serving as a shirt. The pants are front pleated, always crisply maintained and precisely tailored; they are never seen with a scratch and she gets upset when they are damaged. Likewise for her suit jacket, always cleanly pressed and held exactly at her wrists. Its only adornment are two well polished round-top silver pins on the cuffs. While typically she does not wear a tie, when suited she chooses from a selection of bright blue ties to wear, held to the front of her shirt with a silver bar pin. Whether in casual dress or suit, she wears a pair of white sneakers that she has kept for several years in nearly new condition. Biography: Trude grew up in a well off neighborhood with a normal life, keeping her nose out of any improper shenanigans and making a good name for herself. Nothing ever felt quite complete though, life was unsatisfying. She was offered a chance to make something different of life at the DWMA, and happily accepted after showing aptitude as a meister. She enjoys her tenure as a student, although there is that nagging urge that perhaps something isn't what it's meant to be in her life. To combat it, she pours herself onto her occupation, focusing everything into efficiency and proper execution. Personality: Gertrud is meticulous and exacting, a true perfectionist at work. She is not idealistic though, and is a true pragmatist. Rather than an outcome perfect for her she searches for the most reasonable answer to a problem. Her straight laced attitude sets her in conflict with many partners and fellow students, which she resents but sees as a necessary sacrifice for doing the 'right thing.' She always has her eye on the bottom line, and serves as the voice of reason in her partnership with Simone, an unruly man at the center of all she despises. She talks no more than she has to and is often seen thinking things out rather than acting; a tendency which can cause her to hesitate or miss chances in the life of a DWMA student. Likes: Reading, Electro-folk and orchestral music, organizing things, order Dislikes: Waiting, Small talk, Not planning things ahead of time and particularly people who refuse to. EDIT: For clarity, I'm who Sightles mentioned and Gertrude and Simone come as a team
