[*][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Unusually for a mage, Ghyslaine is warm-hearted and never got the memo to view everyone else with suspicion, envy, or disgust. In a normal Grail War, every Master would mark her out as the first to go down from sheer unwillingness to hurt someone herself but in this instance a friendly and thick-skinned Master has a far greater chance of surviving. Due to her past, she has an extreme weak spot for children (or anyone childish) and a subsequent desire to keep them away from danger... even if they're Servants far stronger than she is. 
[*][b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] Superficially, Ghyslaine is an average magus. Even with dual affinities for fire and water, her thaumaturgy is nothing to write home about and she tends to display nothing above the very basics. Most of her magecraft relies on her family's Sorcery Trait, Sanguinus Mystica: she effectively has an entire secondary set of magic circuits that concentrate their output in her blood and concentrate her blood itself, over time. This has obvious implications--she can write entire ritual circles with her own blood and not bleed to death, then need provide no more mana to complete the ritual.
Aggressively, she can control her blood even after it leaves her body, allowing for it to write the small collection of runes she knows and form an imprisoning circle around someone that wasn't [i]quite[/i] watching where they're going. Or, more violently, turn it into a directed wave of liquid fire. Her stamina in combat is tied entirely to how much blood remains.
She's also particularly good at first aid, due to both her often she needs to bandage her own injuries and to make sure that [i]nobody[/i] she cares for bleeds to death on her again, if she can help it. She's even taken steps to get certified by mundane authorities.
[*][b][u]History:[/u][/b] As a young woman, Ghyslaine was your typical unremarkable magus: learning from her family, woefully behind the times when it comes to understanding technology, and not keen to attract attention to herself. She didn't have the means nor the sheer talent needed to gain tutelage with the Mage's Association. She married, had a child--aside from the whole tinkering with the world's unexplained mysteries thing, it was a perfectly normal family.
But a sorcery trait that relies on the user [i]bleeding[/i] is a dangerous thing for a child without supervision to have. Even more so around an unprepared father that tries to stop it only to get burnt. One accident and no more normal family. Ghyslaine did the obvious thing--search for more magical knowledge to try and find some way to undo it. Even working to gain admittance to the Mage's Association felt worth it.
But more knowledge only cemented the obvious: you can't bring back the dead. Not with magecraft anyway, in this world. But when the Wizard-Marshall started looking for Masters to gather grails from other worlds, Ghyslaine signed right up. If there's the slightest chance that she could have a family left at the end of things, she'll take it.
