Appearance Gina has long soft blonde hair that reaches a few inches past her shoulders with layered bangs that part to both sides of her face. She has dark blue/green eyes and a fair complexion while standing at roughly five feet eight inches. Her attire consists of many browns, blacks, whites, reds and golds meshed together to form an easy to move in armor. It wears much like a sleeveless leotard but with shoulder pauldrons instead of sleeves going down her arms. Attached to her base attire, she has a white hood and red cape over her left shoulder. It has gold and red embellishments on the hood. She wears brown elbow length gloves with armor bracers covering from her wrists to elbows which have built in daggers that are easy if disarmed from her real daggers, also good for assassinations. Wearing tall brown boots that reach up to her mid thigh and attach to her outfit base by a few buckles stretching across her leg, each boot as a few buckles behind her calf where they strap in and have a silver metal knee guard over where her knee caps would be. Her daggers are strapped at her sides.
When not on a thievery mission, Gina also has a purple jumpsuit like outfit. It is nearly sleeveless, but she has gloved sleeves with two belt like straps around each sleeve. It has it's dark and light purple shades with a camouflage pattern as it moves down, revealing some of her stomach at the sides. The suit is completed with heals for shoes and a holster strapped to her right thigh for her daggers or a pistol. It's easy to move in and is perfect for hand to hand combat, she may wear this on tasks depending on what's being done. If nothing of importance is going on, you'll see her in normal clothes.
Personality: One might say Gina is both harsh and careless at times. She is very used to looking out for herself, caring for other’s safety has never occurred to her and never really been an issue. She prefers to work alone just because then the only back she has to watch is her own, that doesn’t mean she’s completely heartless though. She knows when to act for someone else’s benefit rather than her own, but sometimes she can be a bit harsh and let people fend for themselves, depending on who they are and how she feels about them. She always goes with her gut feeling and does make a first impression about people just by the way she first meets them. In her mind, second chances to prove yourself are worthless, if you want to be on someone’s side, prove it the first time. In general though, if she likes you, you’re okay and she’s pretty easy to get along with.
Step on some toes or strike some nerves though, and those feelings can quickly change. Although Gina can also be described as having that careless yet loyal attitude towards her new job at this ‘thieves guild’, she does have a cold and temperamental side. Not tolerating horsing around and jokes being played on her, she isn’t afraid to say when she isn’t happy, making her quite vocal with her feelings towards people. But on a more playful note, she does have a tendency to have sort of a…over confidence built up within, not working with a group before she has tried to be impressive in her own ways, building herself up to them to more than what she really is. With a cocky swagger in her stride as well, it is easy to see that she is trying just a bit too hard, but her loyalties do lie within the guild, no doubt about that.
…just don’t call her Gigi.
History: Taking care of a child was not the top priority of Giovanna’s parents. They held difficult jobs that were never in the right place and that seemed to cost them more than their lives, they had jobs working in the slums, doing crimes for money and getting caught was what ultimately brought them to their death, it landed Gina in an orphanage when she was roughly eight years old. She didn’t know how her parents died or that they had been killed. She’d been left home one night and assumed that they just abandoned her.
After a few years of never getting adopted, she fled the orphanage after those years of grief, wondering why she was ‘given up’ and she finally went to fend for herself on the streets of Midgar, which wasn’t exactly a bad choice for her. During her years on the streets, she’d learned the art of being stealth, and learned how to fight to keep herself alive and to keep people away from her. It all came in handy, but solitude had become more than easy for her to deal with.
Once of age, Gina had enough skills to back up her talk and easily gained a job, not one she particularly liked, but one that suited her style of being somewhat to herself and a difficult person to get past. She became a guard – bodyguard of sorts – to the infamous Don Corneo, though she never liked protecting the fat cat of Gaia, it was something that paid and something she was good at. Though as things started to crash and burn – those things being some AVALANCHE members trying to beat answers out of Don about ShinRa and the chaos with Sephiroth and meteor, Gina gave that up in search of something different, something to get away from the things she most disliked, which was…protecting someone who didn’t deserve protection. It seemed she wasn’t the only one to ditch that job for something better, by rumor, another former bodyguard went to work for ShinRa as a Turk, not that it was something she had looked into, she wouldn’t have wanted to work for ShinRa even if she’d been offered a job.
While on the search for something new, Gina did a pretty good job of swindling and pick pocketing, breaking and entering to obtain either gil or something she could easily sell for gil, and during that time, she hadn’t realized it but she had been pick pocketing a target. A lure to draw in skilled thieves. After so many thefts from said target, Gina had sort of been…offered a place in a very unknown organization that was ran underground under the old ruins of Midgar, it was basically a band of thieves hired to steal things, they simply looked out for themselves and did what they could to raise gold to keep their lowlife style alive. More than eager, Gina had agreed to join this ‘Thieves guild’ as it was so simply dubbed by the other members, and from there…well, all that was important was collecting items, selling them, or obtaining a good cliental for jobs that would earn gil. You could say Gina is the so called ‘rookie’ of the group.
