Grimm







Description
A fair skinned young woman standing at 5' 6" with layered, textured long black hair. Shes wearing a half-buttoned up red flannel shirt with blue and dark red cross-lines on it, and an army green tank top underneath. Charcoal grey cargo capris end just below her knees, finished with ankle-high flat brown boots with a series of straps and buckles. The flannels sleeves are rolled up to her elbows.

On her right wrist is a black banded bracelet. A silver banded ring adorns each thumb. Her left eyebrow is pierced with a silver ring just past the arch. Her left ear has a helix piercing with a simple silver loop earring, with standard lobe piercings with black spiral hoop tribal earrings. Her eyes vary from blue to pitch black depending on her powers and mood. Dark eyeliner and eyeshadow shade her eyes, and her fingernails are painted a dark purple.

Family History
Gabrielle Grimm is a distant descendant of Wilhelm Carl Grimm, the younger of the Brothers Grimm. Well known for their literary work, they were also secretly involved in mystical research along with literary pursuits. Some of this involved confronting the unknown and the bizarre. They and their descendants were schattenjagers; shadow hunters. They dealt with monsters and the unknown to keep people safe.

While her father refused to pursue the "family business", her uncles and cousins still carrying on the duties of the Schattenjagers.

Life History
Gabrielle Grimm grew up in Seattle. Like some of the Grimm family, she inherited a gift to see things that others couldn't. Ghosts. Spirits. The Supernatural. Her grandmother realized Gabrielle inherited the family Gift when she could also see the not so imaginary friend Gabrielle was talking to, and taught Gabrielle to keep it a secret.

When Gabrielle was 13, her younger 10 year old sister, Gwenneth, went missing. There was speculation on whether she ran away, or was kidnapped, but she was just...gone. As years pass, the police called it a cold case and gave up searching. But Gabrielle still wants to believe her sister is out there somewhere.

Once in college, she enrolled in an Occult Literature and Studies program, with a minor in Criminology. It combined her natural gifts and aptitude, as well as her desire to learn more about criminal justice, to perhaps pursue her missing sister's case. Of course, it's college, and she enjoyed diversions. She got into the music scene, partied, and had a normal college life. Until one of her classmates in occult studies realized her gift and tried to use her to fuel a ritual.

After her transformation, she set about capturing the cultist group Price was involved with to try and find him, but he was no where to be found. He had just recruited some talentless wannabe mages to help do his dirty work.

Her powers gave her access to income revenues that allowed her to transfer to a school with an amazing metahuman criminology program and occult studies program. She's since transferred to CBSU in Colonial Bay. She just recently acquired a spooky old house at the end of the street as her new home with roommate and friend, Adam Lamont. Rumored to be haunted and cursed by a history of murders that had occurred there, and given its state of disrepair, she got it at a steal. And after she expelled the evil spirits, let the good ones stay, and added a few throw rugs and nice lighting, it had a certain bohemian charm to it. The neighborhood kids still talk about the awesome Halloween display and haunted hard Grimm's house had, courtesy of her abilities.

She's almost completely settled in and just has a few more things to do to make the house really cozy. If anyone asks around enough, they'll know Grimm is the person to go to when you need to find someone who can't be found. And like in some film noir novel, people will show up on her doorstep needing something.

Powers
The dark magical powers Jonathon Price called upon were meant to make him a Conduit of the Dark, and improve his standing within DEMON. They weren't necessarily evil. It's how you use the power that makes it good of evil. Her powers over darkness and shadow in both physical and metaphysical. She is the very avatar of the concept of Darkness and things you associate with the dark. The innate fear and terror people feel in the dark. The tricks it plays on your mind and the nightmares it inspires. The cold, deep dark, where shadows move, you're chilled to the bone, and your imagination runs wild with all the things that lurk in the shadows. Even the darkness that lies in the hearts and minds of men. But also the calm and quiet in the dark. Her connection to darkness and shadows makes it a part of her, allowing her to mold it and manifest it. It's this very power of darkness, madness, and nightmares that connect her to the Kings of Edom and the Qliphothic planes, such as the Shining Darkness. Darkness is everywhere. And so is she.
