Gemma McGuire
Note to my non-Irish audience: Gemma has absolutely no connection to the real-life politician of the same first name (but different last name) that I have mentioned once or twice. Gemma, like Rosemary, is a common Irish first name for women who were born in the 1960s.
Gemma is Rosemarcy D'arcy's sister. Eccentric to the point of it being clinically diagnosed, Gemma is nonetheless smarter than she might appear, even having a doctorate degree of some kind, although no one knows what subject it's in beyond "some kind of history or theology."
Sometime in 2019, she developed Rumase-Associated Illness. This was given to her intentionally with the goal of controlling her paranoid delusions and providing a cure to her personality disorder. She is now much more sociable, but she does not quite know how to feel about the fact she was given the treatment without her full consent. It is not something she likes to discuss with other people.
Although no longer paranoid of other people, she is still distinctly a loner and retains some level of eccentricity, the latter of which is something she is very glad that Rumase did not change. She does not hallucinate, but on more than one occasion has pretended to in order to leave a conversation.
