#VERY brief elphelt/griselda crumbs for people who want elphelt/griselda ship lore.

[malewifehenrycooldown]

just to give people an idea of what griselda looks like. on the left is her pre-gear self/when she was a member of the Holy Order. on the right is what she looks like for the rest of the guilty gear series after being cursed/infected with gear cells. Obviously if i ever get the chance to draw Griselda in a full profile, I will be able to change any dress details, especially since I mentioned her fashion choices are inspired by Gothic Lolita Fashion.

Occupation:

Personality:

The Griselda that was active around the time of the Crusades, has been described as a valiant, reliable and protective person - opting to do whatever she can to save as much civilian lives as possible while dealing with the hoards upon hoards of Gears. While not Strategic, she does try her best to improvise to the best of her ability in combat situations.

However, it should be noted that while Griselda does care about the safety and wellbeing of other people, it does not mean that she is a 'ray of sunshine', she's actually quite cynical - which is usually chalked up to her being a 'realist' living in a world that has been torn apart by an international war that is far beyond human comprehension. In addition to her Cynicism, she stands her ground in her beliefs, and is quite stubborn - sometimes opting to follow her own instinct then that of the rules of command (which in hindsight is probably due to Sol Badguy's influence as they were both in the Crusades and working in the same division). Pre-Gear Griselda, essentially wore her heart on her sleeve, and was proud of it.

Upon Gearification, Griselda's personality shifted somewhat to a more… violent and impulsive direction as a consequence of her being infected/cursed with Gear Cells. She is a lot more defensive and guarded because she knows her existence as a part-gear will lead to mass panic. Because of this, they have a hard time opening up to people, even if its people they get along well with. Gear! Griselda essentially wants to roll her sleeves back down to hide the heart she once proudly wore. This however changes when she meets Elphelt Valentine, who is able to break down Griselda's emotional walls, but that's a story for another time

Other Notes:

lore notes here

before becoming Ky's advisor, she supposedly had a large bounty that was equivalent to $100,000,000 in AUSD [australian dollars]

the black lolita dress she wears was made by stealing an old tattered dress that she found in a destroyed dress shop in the aftermath of a gear battle during the crusades (when she was still in the Holy Order). She repaired the dress herself in her free time, and carried it with her to work on during downtime. When she became part gear, she had to ditch her Holy Order uniform and wore the black dress instead, wanting to avoid causing a mass panic amongst the tired, weary humans who are still fearing for their lives.

much like Ky, she has tried to challenge Sol Badguy to a fight. She hasn't been successful.... yet.
