__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
Griselda is an extremely large woman, even by Yoreiqi standards. Her dark skin is calloused and covered in scar tissue, and her body has been toned from years of getting into fights with strangers. Her large wings are a dull, lifeless shade of brown  Her clothes are tattered- not because she can't afford new ones, but rather because she seems to like how it looks. Griselda wears a button that says "Hello! My name is: Griselda!"

Griselda is mute. She hasn't been able to produce any noise for as long as she can remember, and she never bothered learning sign language or any basic writing skills- the orphanage she grew up in couldn't afford a tutor, and she was too impatient to try to learn on her own.

Personality:
Griselda's personality is really, really hard to pin down. The woman rarely wears her true emotions on her sleeve. She will show exaggerated emotions in order to communicate (smile means yes, frown means no, etc.) but these don't normally reflect how she feels. She'll occasionally show a genuine smile when something is funny to her, but this is rare and nobody really understands her sense of humor anyway. It's incredibly hard to gain her trust, and most people are too freaked out by the giant woman with wings to try.

Griselda has a large collection of wanted posters- she'll actually judge a person's worth by the number of zeros on their bounty. She loves animals, and will go out of her way to feed any strays she comes across. 

Relationships:
Griselda is second in command of the Friends, and has a strong bond with all of them. She's very close to Hildegarde, who was actually the one who named her "Griselda"- the woman couldn't exactly tell her what her name really was (and if she could, she wouldn't know how to pronounce it). Hildegarde tends to confess all her insecurities to her- after all, Griselda can keep a secret better than anybody.

Griselda is extremely protective of both Tiffany Starbrite (who she may or may not have a thing for) and Joan O'Reilly (her best friend). She'd really like them to work out their differences- whatever argument they're having has gone on for way too long.

Magic/Abilities:
Griselda punches things really hard. She has a pair of brass knuckles that she wears 24/7- she never knows when she may end up in a brawl. She's also unable to convey that the one on her left hand has been stuck there for 3 years.

Griselda can use her wings to glide, but she's too heavy to remain airborne for more than 10 minutes on her own. When she does attempt to fly it's very slow and clumsy.

Griselda has a near perfect photographic memory. The usefulness of this is severely limited by her inability to convey what she has seen in the past.

History:
Griselda's parents were Yoreiqi tourists who didn't realize how dangerous coming to Zantaric would be. They were killed by muggers, and in the scuffle the infant Griselda's vocal cords got damaged. It took two hours for somebody to find her, because her crying now only made an odd grunting sound. She grew up in the town orphanage, and powered through the bullying that came from the other children through violent means. The owners of the orphanage couldn't pronounce the name that had been in her parents passport, so they simply called her "muffin", something Griselda hated.

As she grew older, Griselda became more violent, often getting into fights for little to no reason. She never really saw this as a problem, and considered it to be normal. Upon leaving the orphanage she took to mugging people in back alleys and acting as hired muscle for a living. Needless to say people feared her, and she gained a reputation as being an unstoppable monster. This reputation caused an upstart gang leader, Hildegarde Von Musel, to seek her out.  Griselda was used to gang leaders attempting to recruit her, but something about this girl was different. Hildegarde acted like she understood Griselda, and to top it off she never once had to guess what Griselda was trying to convey with wild hand gestures and crude dirt pictures. Once Hildegarde called her "Griselda" because "It sounds pretty and tough- just like you!", Griselda was sold. She is currently Hildegarde's top lieutenant, and would happily give her life if it meant Hildegarde would be happy.
