Appearance:
Personality: "Prickly" would be the most concise word to describe Gemma. Hardened and embittered by her difficult childhood and life in the slums, Gemma lives every day with an ever-growing hatred for the government and the oppressive system that placed her family in this situation in the first place. She is constantly wary of those around her and possesses a short temper, easily snapping at others who get on her nerves. The few people who are able to get under her bristly exterior, however, will find a vehemently loyal friend and confidante with a maternal streak, as can be shown by her relationship with her baby brother Monty.
Having basically raised Monty from infancy, Gemma has grown fiercely protective of her little brother. Only around him does her irritable attitude fall away to reveal her softer side. It is for him that she smiles, just as it is for him that she turns her rage towards the upper classes and the government, intent on tearing down and rebuilding with her own two hands a world in which Monty can live happily and without suffering.
Background: TW drug abuse, death
Gemma was born and raised in the slums. Her mother was a prostitute who had managed to obtain extensive genetic modifications, giving herself feline features in order to draw in more clients with her "exotic" air, and as a result, Gemma and her brother inherited piercing yellow cat eyes. With her mother struggling with drug addiction, Gemma grew up mostly learning to fend for herself on her own.
Not long after Monty was born, their mother died of a drug overdose, forcing the two children onto the streets. 11-year old Gemma carried her 1-year-old brother from place to place, seeking refuge in various areas in the slums and scavenging for food wherever they could. She worked whatever labor jobs she could find and eventually became well-versed in the ways of slum and street life.
When Gemma was fourteen, she heard whispers of a resistance movement brewing among the people of Novus. Entranced by the opportunity to pull her brother and herself out of their condition whilst striking back at the government, she used her slum connections to seek out the vigilantes...
