Looks
With her wild, frizzy curls and freckles, this girl would look delightful and carefree, were it not for her eyes. Gabrielle is used to anxiety and suffering, and it’s clearly visible in her eyes – too mature and serious for her age. They are dark, and stand out in her light-skinned face, peering out at others cautiously. As for her hair, it is unruly, often fall in her face, and she lets it stay there. It’s kept at shoulder-length. The face is oval; her facial features soft and slightly rounded, making her appear slightly younger than her eighteen years of age. She still has that childlike exterior, heightened by the freckles spread over the bridge of her nose and her cheeks, as well as her innocent demeanour. Her chin is slightly on the strong side, her nose small. The skin has a pinkish hue to it, but catches quite a nice sun tan if it gets the chance; it’s taken care of by professionals and kept in a good condition. When it tans, her freckles stand out clearer.

Gabrielle’s appearance overall is that of a youth; she has long, filly-like legs that the rest of the body doesn’t seem to have caught up with, and an undeveloped female shape. Her curves have just started to really develop, seeing how she’s slightly post mature. If she smiled more often, she would be a quite cute, sweet looking teenager. Now, she looks misfit – with her shoulders often held stiff and a bit too high, rarely seeking eye contact with other people, and constantly biting her lower lip or frowning ever so slightly, she appears troubled. Almost as if she had all the world’s troubles on her shoulders – far too much for a girl her age to carry all on her own.

Style of Clothing
When you rarely have any money for yourself, you don’t have any place in a budget for your wardrobe. Gabrielle dresses in what someone else has put out for her, and usually it is simple clothes suiting her status as servant. Her favourite outfit is a pair of ankle-long jeans and a tank top with a splash of colour; those are sturdy clothes, sustainable to all activities she could be asked to participate in. Thus, though she has no real fashion sense or style, she prefers practical outfits over those you wear just to look pretty. From time to time she can be seen in a dress (usually when being called to her boss’s office), and whether it’s due to the situation, or to the piece of clothe itself, she always seems uncomfortable in those.

Body Mods and other Distinct Features– Piercings, Tattoos and Scars
Gabrielle has multiple scars on her back, mostly faded, from various injuries she’s taken from falls. She often has bruises that are hard to explain. No other distinct features.

[Because my duty was always to beauty, and that was my crime]

Sexual Preference: Straight
Religion: Not a believer; had that crushed
Traits: Shy, serious, easily worried, heavy thinker, compliant, submissive, anxious, dependent, loyal, loving, caring, patient, emphatic, intelligent, innocent, sweet, helpless, imaginative

Personality
Gabrielle is a shy, quiet person who seldom talk to people she doesn’t know. She keeps to herself, and is wary of strangers. Due to her background, she’s learned to distrust those she knows nothing about, and she is determined to keep the secrets she’s been entrusted. This philosophic young girl might not hold any sort of formal education, but she’s intelligent and observant, often drawing conclusions on her own that might prove to be accurate. Due to her careful nature, she’s a natural listener, and good at assessing situations.

Sensitive and emphatic, Gabrielle cares for those around her and is easily influenced by the way others feel. She has spent most of her time growing up with a boy who shows close to no readable emotions, and knows his thoughts and mind as well as her own, proving her to be an attentive watcher. If she’d had a chance at an education, perhaps she could’ve made an academic career, but now she’s settled with the second best – being a caretaker. This is an occupation that she almost seems to be made for.

Of course, being soft and sweet has its backsides. Gabrielle might be fiercely loyal and responsible, but due to her innocent nature, she’s dependent and insecure. Often, this anxious creature submits to things she does not really agree with, just because she’s too much of a coward to stand up for herself and her own beliefs. She is compliant and loyal, agreeing with most of what those that matters to her – or those with power over her – say without any raised questions. Being intelligent and observant is good and all, but if you don’t voice your observations, what good are they? Gabrielle is caring, but the extent of her care makes her border on self effacing. There’s only so much you can do before you completely wipe yourself out in order to do right by others.

All in all, Gabrielle is a sweet, innocent young girl in need of a good self-esteem, and a healthy environment, where her qualities and talents could be taken for what they are. Unfortunately, it seems like fate has something else in store for her.

Background:
Gabrielle and her siblings were planned in detail long before they were conceived. The mother, Jenny Laurent, was the secretary of psychology student Emerich Meier at Levine Industries, as she still is to this date. This is a well established fact. What was less well-established is the true background and nature of Miss Laurent. She was bought from Mr Levine by Mr Meier as one of the “models leaving the assortment”, and as such was sold to a lower price. With her background as an Agalma, she was ideal for whatever tests her new boss could want to carry out once he graduated. The idea was that she would spend most part of her time at the office doing her work, but from time to time, she would go on “prolonged vacations”, all in the name of science. As it turned out, Gabrielle and her siblings became the first one of many of those assignments, and not one entirely by Emerich’s hand.

The project started of as a collaboration between the DPDC (Department of Psychological Development and Conditioning) and the GEF (Genetic Engineering Facility) to see if it was possible to manufacture certain traits in human children by manipulating the parents’ genome and fuse it with isolated genetic material from other sources. The goal was to create compliant, easily conditioned persons with a loyalty to certain, in them, filially imprinted persons. Leader of the project, founded in 2041, was young, promising scientist Victor Adler. After two years of studies on animals, he decided to take his experiments to a new level, and borrowed his good friend Emerich’s secretary to carry out the conception in late 2043. A mixture of processed dog genes, isolated features fitting the description of their desired outcome, was produced, and the project took a new turn.

In July, the long awaited offspring saw the light of day. Three healthy children, one boy and two girls, were born to Jenny in an anonymous hospital in Hesperia, watched over by doctors and nurses involved with the project. Gabrielle was one of them.

They were allowed to be raised in a homelike environment in the poorest district throughout their first five years to ensure that no affective instabilities occurred. Meanwhile, the scientists continuously visited, studied and documented their growth. The three siblings were close, both with each other and with their mother, and showed promising signs of the project being a success. However, it needed to be tested further. To see if the experiment really was a success, they needed to separate the three from their mother, and each other, to see if their new guardians would win the loyalty so sought for.

At this stage, in the year of 2049, Emerich stepped in to write his doctoral examination on the “litter” his secretary had conceived. His reports found its way to high places, dragging attention from both Anubis and a certain Mr Levine, amongst others. It wasn’t long before all three children were adopted, broken up and taken from their mother. Jenny was once again free to return to her work under her young master, oblivious to the existence of the triplets she’d just lost.

Gabrielle ended up following Oscar Levine home for a special assignment. She was a shy yet determined little girl, and though she missed her mother and her siblings greatly, she did her best not to cry and cause discomfort. Like most children, she wanted to be liked and please the grown-ups, and did her best to adjust to the situation. When it turned out the assignment was one her brain could actually comprehend – she was to keep a boy her own age company – her happiness knew no boundaries. After a few attempts with letting Mr Levine’s son play with her, the final decision was made and the girl was moved to the Agalma Facilities. And so began the tale of the friendship between Gabrielle and Tobias.

The two grew up together, spending all of their adolescence in the company of one another. Most of the time they played; although Gabrielle always was the one with the most ideas and most energy, she always did her best to let Tobias catch up and participate on his own premises. She was happy with her playmate, but soon grew weary of the grown-ups… Each time they got home covered in dirt, or slightly injured from an especially rough game, the young girl got a scolding from their caretakers, and it even happened that she was reprimanded by taking a hit or two. She learned to play more carefully, but also grew more withdrawn and shy, seeking comfort in her contemporary friend.

In 2057, she was called to Oscar Levine’s office and made to sign an official contract stating that she was officially the caretaker of his son, Tobias. She consented, having already grown too fond (gotten imprinted?) of the boy to let him go. As they hit puberty, new feelings began to develop for the boy she called best friend. Though he never changed, and she did, she wanted to remain by his side and help him in whatever way she could. The facilities were a strange place, and Tobias often seemed… lonely, even though he was virtually incapable of feelings with such depth. Gabrielle took it upon herself to safeguard him and keep him company. These strong feeling of friendship and loyalty soon developed into an all out, full-blown crush.

The older Gabrielle got, the more chores she had to do around the small apartment she and Tobias shared on the facility grounds. She learned how to cook, how to clean, and how to help the boy with whatever he could need help with – be it someone who listened, or a full body massage, she was there and at his service. They even experimented a bit, and her feeling for him deepened. But her chores did not only take place inside the protective walls; often she had to venture out into Eden or Avalon in order to shop for the boy’s needs, or run errands. When she was old enough, fifteen of age, she was trusted with some minor spare-time. Of course, it was not long before disaster struck.

Her name was Evie. She was about the same age as Gabrielle, and used to help her mother out with laundry at the border between Hesperia and Avalon. There, they bumped into one another from time to time and soon begun to talk. It wasn’t before long until they had developed a growing friendship – a sensation new to the shy girl, who had only known Tobias and the weird, zombie-like people living as their neighbours. It would have probably worked out alright, had it not been for Evie being curious about Gabrielle’s life and occupation, and Gabrielle all too desperate for some comfort and normality to hinder herself from speaking of the forbidden.

The secret of Tobias and the Agalma facility was leaked, to Evie and Evie alone. Still, it was a leak, and as such, it would not be tolerated. Gabrielle returned to the facilities with a lighter heart, taking up her duties as if nothing was wrong and looking forward to the day when she could once again go out to see her new friend. Weeks passed, and no new opportunity to shop for Tobias or the household turned up. Gabrielle grew restless, but tried to wait patiently. A month passed, and there was her opening!

The next time she was let out, Evie wasn’t there. She asked around, but no one had seen the young girl for at least a month. Her mother worried. Gabrielle did too. She did her chore and went home again, disappointed, but upon her return, Oscar Levine himself greeted her in the reception area. He was smiling at her, putting an arm around her shoulders, and said he wanted to present her to a new resident. Leading the chocked red-haired girl outside, he gestured at a familiar face… and there was Evie. With the perfection of SETH upon her face, and the vacant expression associated with the drug. Then Oscar took her to his office to explain the situation to her in more detail… She suffered an accident, rendering her a pair of broken ribs from a fall down the stairs, and did not repeat the mistake a second time.

Having learned from her previous blunder, Gabrielle grew wary of strangers and kept to herself, or Tobias. Soon enough, she was once again granted permission to have her own free-time – if combined with duties, and no longer than three hours lest Tobias might take harm from it. They even demonstrated it once by drugging the boy when she’d been out too long just to show her that she was replaceable; he did not remember her at all for a couple of days before slowly regaining some sort of sensation of her relation to him. Judging by Gabrielle’s reaction to this, one could definitely say that Victor Adler’s experiment so long ago was a complete success; her devastation at Tobias’ memory loss showed her total devotion to him, her master.

Today, she’s a careful young woman, not yet adult, but mature and wise for her age. She carries out her tasks and worries for the future, knowing that both her own well-being and that of her beloved might be in jeopardy – and well aware that she of all people is the one least capable of doing something about it. Though she knows there is no God above, she prays for a miracle.
