I apologize if any of this upset you, I know my intention was never to pressure you, only to provide another perspective. So if I did upset you, I do apologize sincerely. As I said, it is your character and you're free to do, or it do, whatever you please with her.

You didn't pressure me and you didn't specifically upset me either. It was just pointed out that if I want a character to be in an event, I should just do so whether they'd be useful or not. They're probably right, but I became too frustrated by not getting a simple yes or no to that question that I believe my feelings would now hinder any ability to role-play this scenario. Gianna won't be missed anyways - no one knows her. :p
