Heyo, here's one last character that I've been meaning to pump out. I'm just throwing her out there because she's kinda a side-character who happens to be Aldous' traveling companion and sister. :o If that's okay. [Hider=Grace Gallagher][hider2=APPEARANCE][center][img=http://36.media.tumblr.com/a1103ba001a2c2ab4bd7aed75d7373ae/tumblr_n0flykPS1o1ryq2zfo8_500.jpg][/center][/hider2] [b]NAME:[/b] Grace T. Gallagher [b]AGE:[/b] 26 [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] A veritable ball of sunshine, Grace flows through life as if nothing could harm her, a smile on her face and a laugh waiting in her eyes. Optimistic to a fault, Grace is unable to perceive the worst in people, much the opposite of her brother who fails to see the good. They're an odd pair, fitting together like a puzzle. At least, that's what was supposed to happen, except a few pieces got lost along the way, edges were dented and bent and a few notches were cut or torn. They fit together in theory, but age and time and circumstance wore that down like rock in white water. But, Grace keeps a smile on her face and whatever semblance of happiness a light in her life, otherwise she'd have absolutely nothing to live for. If she couldn't believe there was still good out in the world, she'd have remained the husk she was in the hospital so many years ago, contempt and hateful. The thought scares her, though, pushes her in a corner until she's unable to fight back and she succumbs for but a few seconds before putting on her front, her bright smile and jittery attitude. To excuse this, she goes about the world just a tad twisted, manipulative to a fault and hiding motives and reasons behind more motives and reasons until she can no longer recognize why she was doing anything. It helps that way, to make excuses until you yourself believe in the lies, and that's exactly what keeps her going. The fact that she helps people because it helps her because it lets her live with some kind of spark and reignites whatever need to feel useful, is something she's unwilling to share with the world. The fact that she needs this to keep living, to keep from drawing a gun to her head is something that wold likely get her thrown in an psychiatric ward and put on medication that would tear everything she was and is down to an emotionless nub. That frightens Grace more than the gun to her head, so she keeps whatever notion she has to herself and works in favors and debts to get that feeling of usefulness. She does things to help people, sure, but they can't know that, lest they think there's something sinister there that was never there in the first place. People often think there are things that are too good to be true and giving them what they want without anything in return doesn't often sit well with others, as she's found earlier in life. So, she gives them her motive, however ridiculous it sounds, and expects them to pay in full whenever she needs something done. And she almost always needs something done, if not seriously, then just to get it out of the way, to alleviate their worry and anxiety. It's a weird way to work and it's honed her manipulative skills to a T, not to mention that silver tongue she so loves to use. She assists people and they give her whatever she wants, even if she just wants their gratitude and happiness. Though she knows that's often too good to be true.
