(2 GP/Day) [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] Gianna is a sweet woman, if a bit shy, however more than socially adapt. Though generally a loner out of habit and experience, she will tend to cling to those who she feels impressed by, even though she tries to be cautious about letting this happen. For those who don't fit this mold, she tends to be harder to befriend or get to know, but doesn't ever stop anyone from trying. Se also has a big heart and tends to want to help out when she can and spends a lot of time daydreaming about romance. Besides this calling her a dedicated scholar might be a bit of an understatement, as she loves to learn anything anyone is willing to teach her and has a special interest in artifacts, especially from the magical era. [b][u]History[/u][/b] A cliche wrapped inside an abnormality, Gianna was introduced into this world without knowing anything about her parents. Even though she was taken in by an orphanage as a young babe, her unique features made it hard to blend in or ever be a part of 'normal' society. Her peers were always more fascinated and focused on her physical features as a "large fairy" than they ever were on her personality or the acquisition of her friendship, making her childhood a lonely events of being gawked at. There was one saving grace for her however in the form of reading and so instead of trying to run away physically or lashing out, she instead buried herself into mostly fictional books about legendary heroes, myths, and legends. Growing up was of little difference, and in fact, the growth of her wings only made it more impossible to sustain or form normal friendships. She was treated nicely but always felt this to be a facade, suspecting that others only wanted to treat her kindly because of her outward beauty. Well within her teenage years, this was only confirmed further as men - especially at night in a drunken haze - only felt interested in her if she were to follow them into their bedchambers. The very thought disgusted her, causing her to anger them on more than one occasion. Thankfully her wings had not been just for show, but functioned exactly like her smaller cousins, lifting her easily into the air and away from the foulness of their lust. The fact that she took up scribing did help a little, giving her a secluded job that gave her civil clients that only wished for their documents to be copied and edited. The job gave her time to read through parts of other people's lives as well as a book in her hand when clients were far and few between. Still, the lack of a family or friends gave her a sense of mistrust and abandonment and instead propelled her nature and intense curiosity into ancient lore. So much so that is not uncommon for her to leave the city on her off days to explore some of the cave systems and ruin sites dotted across the land - her flight giving her a great deal of freedom to explore and learn.
