Outward Appearance

 She look to be quite young, somewhere in her early twenties. She often carries an eyepatch over her right eye, although no signs of damage to the eye can be seen around it.

On the rare occassions where she do not, her right eye has a blue iris, where her left have a green.

Her skin appears healthy and soft, save for a scar running down her right cheek. She mostly carries a emotionless, yet calm expression on her face.

Background

Born in the lands of Gondor, where she lived on the streets as a street girl. She never got to meet her parents, although the reason behind that is unknown.

While she lived on the streets, people looked upon her with cold, and emotionless expressions, almost hateful or some other kind of dislike. They called her a monster, a freak, and much else of the kind, which she fairly quickly started to believe to be true. She begun hating herself.. Believing in the words of all those people, because she was indeed not like them. Her eye colours did not match eachother. That must mean that she is indeed a monster, she thought. But that didn't stop her from trying to get help from the people, even if they either ignored her, or shoo'd her away. This forced her to start to steal, which she rather quickly became quite good at, until the day where the words of others turned her to stop caring for her life, and stopped trying to survive. Waiting for death to claim her.

On that day, when all hope to be looked upon as a normal, human young girl faded.. A man came up to her, and offered her his hand. She was ofcourse quite distrustful and confused for awhile, but it ended with her taking his hand and followed him. They left the city, to a forest. To the man's camp, which would become her home.

Marx, as he called himself, raised Gilidis with all the love and care a father would give their child, if not more so. He trained her in the way of the dagger. How to eleminate enemies before they know what's going on, but also face-to-face combat.

On her sixteenth birthday, she got one of Marx' daggers as a birthday gift, which she ofcourse valued more than anything, save for Marx himself, ofcourse.
Later that day, they began to spar, so that Marx could see how much she have improved in fighting an enemy head on. The fight lasted for awhile, and Marx easily stopped Gilidis' attacks for a long time, until she finally listened to the words of Marx and stopped holding back in order to make sure not to hurt him. She was quick. Abit too quick, and she was too determined to win to stop herself. She landed a quick, and precise blow to Marx's chest. She smiled proudly for awhile, before she realized what she had done when Marx slowly fell to the ground backwards. She froze, not wanting to accept what have happened before she snapped out abit, and quickly fell down to sit next to Marx, holding him in her arms while she started to cry like she never have done before.
Marx, simply lied there and stroke through Gilidis' hair gently with a proud smile on his face between his coughs. He told her how proud he was of her, how strong she have become. How much he loved her, and how much he hoped for her to have a better life than she had on the streets. None of these words reached Gilidis' ears, however, as she was too sad and regretful for what she had done. She had killed her father.. Or atleast, the closest person she had to a family.
With his last breath, he told her how much he loved her, which was the only words that reached her ears as she realized she had killed him.

She buried Marx by his favorite spot, under a tree with a bed of flowers around it. She then left Gondor to travel, trying to escape her huge mistake, but it would haunt her every time she fell asleep.

After a long journey, she reached Bree-land. And when she came there, she met a young woman who seemingly was unable to make any sound. She was a mute, although she was quite good at writing. Studying the woman's weapons, clothing, and expressions, she could tell what kind of woman it was. She had pity for the woman, who appearently were quite 'worthless' at what she tried to do. Compared to Gilidis, she couldn't fight very well. It was mostly uncontrolled, and predictable attacks which Gilidis were able to evade and block rather easily, not to mention that she had no control over herself. She was like a wild animal, cat-like. Which gave her the nickname she is called by from that  moment on; 'Cat'.

Gilidis decided to help Cat learn what she got taught by Marx, with the ultimate hope of Cat being able to end her when the right time came. Cat and Gilidis quickly grew close to eachother, not unlike sisterly love. Cat showed promise when it came to using the shadows as part of her weapon, and also being able to eleminate her targets. Although, she didn't make any progress about her fondness of 'playing with her food'.

Gilidis were never able to have Cat learn to finish the victim off quickly.

After some time in Bree-land, Gilidis and Cat finally met a man who had used Cat for his own gain, which ofcourse triggered Gilidis off.. She would kill this man slowly for what he had done to Cat. However.. Cat pushed Gilidis away, wanting to deal with it herself. This was the first time Cat did this, as Gilidis and Cat always helped eachother out in their troubles until this time.
Gilidis let her do so after some effort from Cat trying to convince Gilidis to stay out of it. This however was not until she suffered a stab to her right thigh by the man, and thus being too crippled to catch up with the two. She had her leg treated in the backrooms of the pony by a man in green. Gilidis having such dislike for men due to Marx having teached her that men are nothing but greedy pigs, only able to think with the wrong 'head', and that Cat had been used by several men, however did not like it at all, but she didn't resist either. She let him treat her leg, which introduced himself as Fallidir Annundor. The scene got too much attention, and he decided to take her to the Comb and Watlle inn in the small town of Combe instead, in hopes that she would find more peace there.
There they talked for awhile, before a man she had met before the Cat-incident came in. Fallidir and this man, called Faustino, did not go along well at all, and after some time, Fallidir left.

Faustino was a contact of hers, offering her and Cat some jobs every now and again. But this time, it was to have a chat with her. Or more precisely, keep her some company as he heard of the fight around the pony. After some time, Cat came aswell. She wanted to spend time with Gilidis aswell, quite disliking the presence of Faustino as she were afraid that someone might steal 'her' Gilidis away from her. Gilidis however, being abit angry at Cat for what she did, tried to shoo her away which she succeeded with in a very short time, however.. When Cat left, the last thing she wrote was that Gilidis wouldn't have to worry about seeing her again. This ofcourse meant that she was going to take her life.
Gilidis forced herself out of the bed, and ran after her the best she could with her crippled leg. She caught up, but only to see that Cat jumped a cliff next to Big Staddlemere with a rock to make sure she would stay underneath the surface. Gilidis jumped after, cut the rope and pulled Cat out of the water. Once out of the water, Gilidis scolded Cat for her being such a fool, and after some talking, they became friends again.

Some time passed, and Faustino and Gilidis got abit closer. After some time, they became a couple. During this time, Gilidis met a few new faces, along with them was Erwick and Loriandra. Gilidis never bothered to know any of them very well, as she cared little to expand her list of friends.
During this relationship between the two, there would be many trials.. Both Gilidis and Faustino had times where they were gone without a trace for awhile, and it made the relationship hard.
After some time in the relationship, Faustino were gone for a very long time, which made Gilidis feel lonely and pained by his absence. During this, she decided to try to start another relationship, thinking that Faustino would never return. This is where she met Shorey, originally intedned to be a potential husband to a lady that wished for one, and Gilidis tried to bring the two together.. However, Gilidis having to control the conversation as if Shorey and the lady were puppets, Shorey took bigger interest in Gilidis, and Gilidis took interest to Shorey. Some time passed, and they became a couple aswell, but shortly after that, Faustino returned to Bree.
Gilidis tried to break up with Faustino, but the talk made her unsure of what she wanted so she took some time to think. In the end, she decided to stick to Faustino, and leave Shorey.

Some time passed once again, and Gilidis left Eriador to visit the grave of Marx. But, she did not notice Faustino about it, and the scenario took shape again with different 'main role'. When Gilidis returned, she got to know from a friend she met shortly after her return that Faustino were going to leave her, for Loriandra.

 

Gilidis, believing fully that men cannot ever be trusted, did not become sad by the news.. 

She felt betrayed, however. Even if she have done the same thing to Faustino.

 

Faustino and Gilidis met a few days later, and they had their talk. Faustino left Gilidis, but even so.. 

Offering that he'd always be there for her. She dismissed him, wanting nothing to do with him in a friendly way again.
