  • MILITARY ENGINEER; former skysteel manufactory engineer, employed therein from youth until the conclusion of the dragonsong war.

  • EXPERT ARTILLERIST; expertly trained in the use of ceruleum-powered weaponry and ordinance via the operation of dragon killer artillery.

  • MARKSMAN; adept in both aetherotransformer-based and firesand-based firearms, favoring the revolver, handgonne and long range rifle.

  • NOVICE KNIFE WIELDER; below average level of training in hand-to-hand combat.

  • RAISE UP THE RIGHTEOUS; a staunch anti-reformist with traditional ishgardian orthodox values, gaelle vehemently opposes both the new bicameral republic and the revision of the holy see's religious doctrine.

  • MACHINE HEAD; an accomplished military engineer, gaelle dedicated the entirety of her youth to working with ishgard's dragon killer weaponry and believes the holy see must turn to technology to protect its sons and daughters. favoring high-powered armaments and heavy machinery over the trivialities of nobility, gaelle frets little her over place in high society.

  • FOR KIN AND COUNTRY; a veteran of the great dragonsong war, gaelle participated in active combat as an artillery cannoneer. charged with operating, maintaining, and preparing dragonkiller artillery for movement, combat, and firing, gaelle may be recognized by other military personnel who defended ishgard against the dravanian horde.

  • QUESTIONABLE REPUTATION; upon hearing her name, veteran machinists of skysteel manufactory may recall gaelle's less than honorable departure from skysteel. newer, post-war additions to the manufactory may have overheard tales of a violent conclusion to her once gainful employment.

  • A HOUSE DIVIDED; sources familiar with the minor vassal houses under house haillenarte may remember two daughters bear the surname favagenieur. once closely bonded in their youth, the two sisters have not been seen together since their meeting in skysteel manufactory following conclusion of the dragonsong war, whereafter the youngest, sidione, suffered a debilitating injury, and the eldest, gaelle, was banished from the family manor. whispers say the link between this tragic accident and subsequent familial exile is no mere coincidence.

  • TO THE HELLS AND BACK; a marked change can be seen in gaelle's eyes following the conclusion of the moons-long rescue mission of one lucius guiscareaux. an already pensive and withdrawn woman, her gaze is now distant and unfocused, reflecting some unknown yet ever-present fear.

Lucius de Guiscareaux

"My beloved, my heart, how arduously did I labor to save you. How verily do I wish to gaze into your soul and find we have granted you salvation, yet even now I cannot bear the weight of your visage. So markedly does the change in thine eyes the reflect my failure."

*

Rageant Lacordaire

"Such peculiar kinship have I found in you, Master Rageant. So readily did you charge alongside me into the very bowels of the Hells. So readily did you offer your soul in barter for the burden of another most dear to me. I know not how to repay such sacrifice, and forever in your debt shall I linger."

*

Jancis Milburga

"Long since lost would I have been without your gentle guidance, Lady Milburga. Such compassion and wisdom dwells within thine gentle heart. Unmarked by meekness or fear, thine strength eludes me not."

*

Nox Corvum

"A certain distrust of your nature lingers still within me, half-breed. From whence you came I know little, and so readily was I prepared to condemn you an enemy by rite of birth alone. Thine blood you shed in the name of our aid will not be forgotten, Corvum, of this much I am certain."
