Physical Description: Being a mixture of many ethnicities (mainly Italian, with French, Spanish, and English), Gisella is a very attractive woman. She is tall for a female, hence why she models, and has flowing blonde hair, which she uses in multiple ways of expressing herself. Her eyes are a deep set green, though she normally wears sunglasses or some sort of funky eyewear. She typically dresses odd and eccentrically, usually wearing tight spandex materials. Pants are optional for her, so it’s either a dress or a bathing suit type outfit.

Personality Description: Smart, talented, and extremely opinionated, Gisella isn’t someone who you’ll have a problem with unless you cross her. She knows how to function in life and live on little, having come from a not-so-wealthy family. She does what it takes to get through the day and then some, using her wits to get her through multiple facets and situations.

She is talented, no less, being a musician. Her voice is deep, romantic, and overall, she keeps a crowds attention. Her talent has gotten her through the past few years, allowing her opportunities she never imagined as a child. It also helped her make friends in a higher circle, those who share the talent and those who follow it. It has helped her speak out on things she believes in and things she considers wrong. Basically, it has given her a voice of power.

Don’t get on her bad side. She’ll let you know if you cross her, and she’ll probably cross you off her list. She doesn’t dwell in second chances much, and rarely gives them out. This also gets her voice speaking about issues she finds to be wrong or worthy of her time. She is big on werewolf security, having a werewolf in her family, and she also believes in not discriminating against goblins and house elves.

Flaws of hers include how she comes off to people. She is smart, but that can sometimes mean smartass. Sometimes her mouth gets her in trouble, and she says the wrong thing to the wrong person. Usually, she always finds a way out of it, but there have been times where she wasn’t as lucky. Generally, too, people who don’t like her music often cause her to get a tad bit angry when they choose to voice their opinion.

History: Born to an Italian mother and an English father, Gisella Liliane Adelmira Darcy was birthed in Kent, England on January 9, 1977. She was the oldest of the children to come afterward, so she had authority from an early age. However, her mother worked as a housemaid to neighboring houses and higher-society people, and didn’t make much of an income. Her father, the wizarding side of the family, lived on a low income as well, working for The Daily Prophet as a photographer. How they managed, it was hard, but they did.

Two years after Gisella’s birth, her brother, Zacharii Jean, was born. He was her complete opposite in the physical aspect, but they became inseparable as they grew up. Since she was only two years, it was easy for them to keep a close pact together. By the time they were around five and three, respectively, they were known as a dynamic duo. Often, they’d play dirty with other children, often pulling smart pranks on them.

As she grew, Gisella started becoming a beautiful, young girl. Her blonde hair grew longer, and she developed earlier than some girls in her, showing her Italian heritage. She attracted boys early, and often was seen as a young heartbreaker, or well, a future heartbreaker. Also, her musical talent developed when she was young, too, as she often sang at family events, and she learned how to play piano by the time she was eight.

When she was nine and her brother was seven, another sibling entered the world, a sister, Torianna Evelynn. Zacharii become attached to her, but Gisella not so much. It also put a strain on their relationship, even though they were closer in age. However, two years later, Gisella was entering a school for magical children. She’d been sent a letter to Hogwarts, where she immediately accepted the invitation and was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Through her years at Hogwarts, she excelled in a few subjects, mainly potions and transfiguration. She was in the top ten of her class, and was considered a good friend to those she kept close. She did one year on the quidditch team, playing as keeper, but eventually grew tired of it and thud, did not continue as her remaining years in Hogwarts went on. She joined the choir at Hogwarts, becoming the lead alto and pianist on some occasions. She made a few friends, mainly Nicodemus Gunnar, who later became the potions master at Hogwarts, and two girls in her inner circle.

After Hogwarts, she was picked up to do modeling, being a tall, beautiful girl. She modeled various wizarding fashions, and eventually sang for a runway event. This event is where a recording label picked her up, and she started recording her songs. She was new for a while, but finally people started listening to her music. She sang mainly on hot topics, attracting teenage crowds usually, and of course boys going through puberty. Today, her two friends from Hogwarts travel with her whenever she does shows, dancing behind her and singing back-up, as they became professional dancers.

Show your character in a scene that illustrates the best and worst aspects
of their personality. Include action, dialog and thought.

The lights were dark and the crowd started getting interested in what was going on. It was the performance hall in Signature, and many a Hogwarts student was gathered in the seats. It was a mystery night, as the musical guest hadn’t been revealed. They were sure to have a surpsie when Gisella Darcy appeared on stage.

The curtain began to rise, and she breathed a heavy breath. Was she nervous? A little. But it was to be expected of a person in performing arts. Her back was to the crowd and she could feel the lights starting to inch their way on the stage. As soon as they hit the back of her head, the music started and she just told herself to have a blast. Her two best friend winked her way and started doing their moves to the music.

When the music hit it’s critical beginning, she turned to face the audience, and an eruption of applause happened. Picking up the microphone, she smiled in her head and walked towards the front of the stage. Her outfit was ridiculous – a tight mini-dress in the shape of a star, with heeled boots up to her thighs. She wore an eye-patch in the shape of a star over her left eye and her hair had somehow been shaped into a star.

With applause happening still, she placed the microphone beneath her mouth and spoke, “Hello Signature! My name is Gisella, and I’ll be your ‘star’ of the evening.” And then she sang, and the clapping grew louder.

Sum up your character in one paragraph: Gisella is quintessentially a gambler that always wins. She takes chances on life, followed her passion, and has her wits about her. Most people consider her to be weird, but that is mainly because she dresses interestingly. Overall, she is a force that many people to find irresistible.
