Ginger Stasucto Character in Ta Mando ~~ The World Of Kanda | World Anvil

Ginger Stasucto

Miss Ginger Primad Stasucto, PdP (a.k.a. The Unapproachable; First Of The Twenty-Five)

Of All The Twenty-Five, one distinctly sets herself apart from the others.
Not because she arrived first or because she is the prettiest but, simply put, because she is the single best of them across almost all metrics.   Second only to Domitia in nearly every field of study and largely seen as the less vocal and more disciplined foil to the otherwise Outspoken and Headstrong founder of Ta Tangia Enbria; Ginger is the mature, confident and largely unapproachable Senior to the rest of the girls that secretly train to be Marek's Personal Army Of Female Agents.   Her story every bit the opposite of Domitia's, she represents a world wise, experienced and somewhat reserved beauty that never seems to need help, never shows embarrassment and leads strictly by example; not by lecture or rhetoric.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tall as a man, though perhaps not a tall man, Ginger Stasucto is a wonder to behold when she walks into the room; always well dressed, perfect in posture and exuding the perfect image of a well educated Kandia woman!
Able to bend in all manner of ways and sporting a mean kick, Ginger is well muscled redhead possessing of extremely high levels of fine motor skill; all veiled by a feminine frame that is mostly curves and womanly features.
Fair skinned and heavily befreckled, her amazing mane of near waist length, vibrant red hair calls attention to her wherever she goes; strong, striking, well maintained and never needing to be tucked back or put up!

Facial Features

A band of very noticeable freckles stretches across her nose from cheekbone to cheekbone and the rest of her face is only moderately less freckled. About a quarter of the time these freckles are deepest green, making her easily identifiable in a lineup.   Despite this, there is nothing unattractive about Ginger's face; being somewhat round with light cheekbones and a modest nose, average height hairline and a sort of luster about her skin that has begun to set in since she joined The Twenty-Five; eating better even than in her previously comfortable lifestyle.

Identifying Characteristics

Ginger is most easily identified by her striking red hair, obvious emerald green eyes and extremely numerous freckles which sometimes turn deep green.
None of these features are particularly common within the core of Kanda and mark her as a carbon copy of her mother; a former native of the Ducky Isles.
However, she walks, talks, dresses and ACTS like the Kandia born native that she is, abating these more identifiable features in mixed company.

Physical quirks

Roughly 25% Of The Time Her Freckles Are Dark Green, Like A Pine Forest.
This Normally Takes The Form Of One Day Of Green Freckles Followed By Three Days Of Normal Freckles.
Alternatively Her Freckles Change To Or From Green When She Washes Her Face Or Steps Out Into The Sun, Etc.   Her Mother Says It Symbolizes Connection To The Spirits Of The Ducky Isles, Though Ginger Has Never Been So Far From The Core And Doesn't Think They Mean Anything Special!

Special abilities

Ginger, while she does not have The Gift or any particular aptitude with otherwise magical or cosmic forces, has learned several utilitarian magical abilities from her father which are all specialized toward carving and sculpting stone; most of which are culturally specific to The Western Kingdom and learned by her father on his infamous smuggling adventure through The Theocracy Of Eldin.
Because of this she's commonly known as "Stone-Hands" to many of the centrally ranking members of The Twenty-Five, as she seldom socializes with other members and spends most of her free time practicing her stone shaping abilities.   Ginger is flexible to the point of being able to freely dislocate many joints, reach straight backward, perform insane acts of contortion and freely squeeze into near any area larger than her head.
Despite many Tuniswia saying it will cause her great pains and aches in the future and the pops in her joints are bad for her, she firmly insists otherwise and there is no sign that she will ever suffer arthritis or any joint pain any time soon.   While she doesn't make a ready statement of it and, indeed, tries to keep it as much of a secret as possible, Ginger's perfect hair is actually supported by years of magical treatment that her mother taught to her to keep "The Family Mane" on her mother's side in line.
Because of a decade of magical toying, managing, handling and reinforcing Ginger's hair can support nearly ten times the weight of normal hair and never misbehaves.
It always stays behind her when she moves, no matter the direction.
It never gets in her eyes, never gets too tangled for her to run a comb through and "Never Looks Bad."
She also sleeps without putting it up and never suffers bedhead.

Apparel & Accessories

Like most young Kandia women of her age and upbringing, Ginger is extremely fond of all manner of multicolored, multi-piece, ankle length Tulia.   However, recently she has grown accustomed to the idea of a sports bra and simple, loose workout trousers during the brunt of her physical activities during the day.

Specialized Equipment

Like her father and ANY practicing Partaneros, Ginger has no shortage of hammers, chisels, canvas, saws, brushes, measuring tools, mallets and all manner of other things you would expect in the workshop of a Partaneros.
Naturally her father will buy her any tool he already has and get a matching pair for anything he doesn't so her collection of tools is extremely diverse and specialized.
She's recently even gotten a sculpting set dedicated to working with Jade, almost all of which was made by a native of The Western Kingdom!   The favorite item in her inventory is a special "Stone Cup" that her father had made for her for her 18th birthday which allows a Partaneros to listen to pieces of stone to determine how dense they are and if there are any faults in the material when it is struck with "measuring hammers."

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born To A Well-To-Do Annar in Shar Essaro, planned, expected and desired; Ginger had a nearly perfect life from the perspective of a Kandia girl.
Her father valued her opinion, as he knew she would expect no resistance in taking on the family business of art and sculpting.
Her mother doted on her, teaching her the ancestral stories and some magic from the North of Ducky Island and filling her mind with fanciful Darobia stories of how her color changing freckles made her a special child with connections to the spirits of her mother's homeland.
Anything she wanted her father would find a way to get for her within reason.   With no shortage of affection and no siblings to divide the attention of her parents, Ginger grew up idolizing her parents; learning whatever they had to offer with nothing but respect and excitement to take on the family name and trade!
She fell in love with the world of art and the idea of measuring stone and earth, of the mixing of paints and the intense debate that comes with the skill of doing business on her father's level!
Seeing her genius, her parents managed to arrange a revolving door of private tutors throughout her upbringing, ensuring she was able to learn whatever she desired; literature, equestrianism, politics and music!
To connect her to his own travels, her father Primus introduced her to the House Of Zhu; a western family living within the Shar!
Upon meeting Lee Zhu's daughter, Chahua Leead Zhu, the two became great friends; only growing closer and more intimate as they grew into women.   Seeing her independence and creativity, her father worked hard to avoid any potential betrothals when she was young and insisted upon her that marriage is not merely for love but for family; that she must understand that the family she marries will be her family and, in true fashion, she must make sure her new family enhances her TRUE Family!
Suitably, Ginger learned to be extremely picky about suitors, maintaining an air of untouchability as much as possible and reveling in such a reputation!   As she grew she began to master the stone shaping magic of The Western Kingdom; searching for new applications and to create works JUST as beautiful and prestigious as her father would make, with JUST as much function and majesty as anything he COULD make!
Her father, as any good father would, dedicated more and more time to her over the years.
She would have the best tools, the best places to work, direct connection to all of the family clientele and all manner of advantages on other girls!
When she married it would be FAR above her station and it would bring the name of Stasucto high into the courts of the imperial elite!   Father and Daughter worked in perfect concert with each other!
Wherever he would go to seek business she would follow to learn everything he could teach her.
Contacts all over the region... nay... The Empire would understand that the TRUE Heir Of Stasucto was no boy but a fully independent and powerful woman; fit and trained to do everything the culture required of her and maintain her full working reputation throughout!
No man would marry a son off to her expecting her to be some placid wife.
She carried a much grander name on her shouders!   Primus felt that there was no father who could be prouder of his daughter!     And then... the day came!
In 1632, on the 10th Of Harvesting, after the Great Fertility Festival had come to its highest point everything changed!
Overnight her entire world went from lavish but decidedly classical to an entirely modern with new machinery, better plumbing, more productive workshops and electric stoves!
And The Bringer Of Fertility, though a strange man from a mythical land, had returned to change even more!   Her father, having been AT the ritual that summoned The Bringer Of Fertility, heard fast enough that others were sending their daughters with dowries to try to seal the deal with Marek Of War-Saw.
THIS Was the time the family had been waiting for!   Washed and dressed properly, Ginger collected all of her dearest accomplishments, loaded the cart up with a Masterpiece Marble Statue of the Bringer Of Fertility carved by her father... and set off with the two best draft horses her family had. (also as offerings)
To her surprise... she didn't even get to talk to Marek Of War-Saw!
Instead she was cut off by Domitia Augustad Auroterri; The Founder Of The Twenty-Five.   Everything was explained to her and her fellow aspiring wives.
Marek Of War-Saw cares not for dumb women, wifely material or pitiful dowries.
He wants BRAINS!
She learned all too fast that, here and ONLY here, she would be expected to be everything a man was!
If that was too much for her she would have no shame placed upon her for leaving!   Ginger, of course, would not balk at such a challenge!
She had learned to do business like a man, work with stone like a man, measure and memorize standards and templates like any Civiandus and understood magic that nobody had gotten access to since before she was born!
She went back to her father, told him EXACTLY what was happening (rather than spin some tale as most of Ta Tangia Enbria did!) and immediately packed her things, prepared Arabox (Her Raven) and moved into Marek's Manor!
There she would be able to exercise the fullness of her genius!
THERE she would be able to revel in being Unapproachable!   The Choice Was All Too Clear!   And so, through several tribulations alongside her fellow Tangia Enbria, Ginger trained for months under Marek's personal supervision; learning modern english, polish, mathematics, botany, physics, espionage and martial arts!
She was threatened in that time by the father of Domitia; Augustus Auroterri for protecting his daughter from him.
And Primus, with the full might of the law at his back, publicly strangled Augustus for his many crimes in the center of The Shar for all to see!   Though times were calm for a while, at some point the identity of The Maiden Of Health became clear to them all at the induction of Soterri into the Longia of Kanda!
And so Ginger was swept away to the capital of Kanda Sentran with Almindi and Marek, who desired to quietly take part in the politics of Kanda and gather more information on these new additions to the Empire!
While her day was apart from them she purchased a slave by the name of Ulf to "Train" for her eventual coupling with Marek; having grown remarkably infatuated with the Founder during her training under him.

However, her fun in the capital was cut short... as he told her that he wanted her to travel to Soterri and investigate Jonathan Mondragon personally for his actions in The Kobori-Kandia War Of Extinction!
And not just his part in the war crimes of Kobori Final War... but more!
She was given her orders... her mission... and teased that her return would be into his arms.   She knew what she had to do!
And so she set off with Hadran Lucretusad Aurelos: The Investigator For The Blue Faction Of Ta Thinal!
And with her, in the very same cabin, she would spend her voyage with Helena Lucusad Nervantonin; one of Kandar Lucus' many legitimized bastards!
Now, more than ever before in her life... Ginger was at the highest echelons of society!
Before it had all been training...   NOW She Was Officially A Jade Shadow!

Gender Identity

She/Her

Sexuality

Ginger Is Obsessed with the HUMANOID form and finds it overtly sensual.
Sex And Gender do not matter to her.
Her interests lie solely in intellectual humanoid partnerships and unbound passion.

Education

As with all of Ta Tangia Enbria, Ginger is receiving a more-or-less comprehensive modern curriculum from Marek Of War-Saw and various educational programs he mandates The Twenty-Five watch in the safety and security of his home.
This includes modern mathematics, the scientific methodology, English and Polish, physical education, self defense, geology and modern agrarian methods.   However, due to her specific background and unique field of experiences, Marek has taken a strong interest in teaching her statecraft, social manipulation and courtly espionage even above the rest of The Twenty-Five.
Her comprehensive understanding of male interests, independent family name, the specific profession of her father and her possession of many unique talking points for female crowds has shown Marek that she may position herself in nearly any social circle within high society with next to no difficulty almost from general demeanor alone; deeply practiced at what Kanda expects of her and able to use the role pushed upon to her advantage!   To top off her more modern and recent entry into education, Ginger has been doted on heavily by her parents throughout her entire life; both academically and physically.
Her father is largely thought to be unable to say no to her, which has allowed her to explore all manner of information young women generally don't have access to in Kanda.
Moreover, she was provided with numerous personal tutors growing up when not directly educated by her father in the family business and how to manage it; both socially and fiscally.
This has allowed her ready understanding of more courtly fields of information, from heraldry and etiquette to classical literature, Poetry, Target Archery and Feminine Horseback Riding Styles; all of which are regarded as very prestigious skills for a Kandia woman.   Ginger's Journey to Soterri has already expanded her capabilities by leaps and bounds!
Spending all of her time training and practicing her craft through the stormy waters south of Ta Fanusia Hyanus, Ginger has been able to actively better herself through the potentially deadly adversity of the High Seas; reshaping her body to one of visibly imposing appearance and imparting her with all sorts of new and useful knowledge for life at the farthest fringes of the world!
Spending any of her free time on the voyage with the Kandar's Daughter Helena Nervantonin and the Blues Investigator Hadran Aurelos, Ginger has picked up a fair amount of legal and mercantile knowledge as well; already having been a bureaucratically oriented individual from her family's noteworthy reputation in the arts!   To conceal her true intentions and thoughts from even the mind of a Prime, as well as to maintain her reputation of being "Untouchable," Ginger has developed numerous special methods in her time to hide everything about her actual motives; ensuring even the Kandia Superman cannot intuit her true goals

Employment

Because of her father's profession and how it has been taught to her, Ginger is one of the few of The Twenty-Five who can say she is a legitimate working girl.   While otherwise considered strictly amateur, Ginger uses whatever free time she has to focus her skills in sculpting, carving and the few magical tricks that her father taught her to continue the family's "artistic style."
Unlike most older, more accomplished Partaneria who were once regimented men in the Kandia military learning to expand into form from strict function, Ginger is not otherwise held back by the societal expectation to hide her works until they are noticed by a fellow brother in arms... and so regularly takes commissions from her peers and even distant relations to her family looking to pay a bit less for their art but still "Get A Stasucto;" paying in half of the proceeds directly to the family name and keeping the rest for herself and her private endeavors.
It's said she's even managed to get her hands on a few Jade Notes in the last year from some special admirer, though she won't speak of such things.
Because any practicing Daughter Of Partaneria may be self-styled as a Partaneros herself, this leaves her as one of the more individually affluent of The Twenty-Five, ESPECIALLY given her name!   ALL Materials MUST be supplied BY the Commissioner!
Her skills lie in the shaping of stone, not its procurement!   Recently Ginger has been personally hired by Philanthropus Domitiad Magnomus "Generositas" of Ta Thinal to investigate the events of the Kobori Final War and personally gather information on the part of Jonathan Mondragon: The Maiden Of Health in the use of Elephants in war.
Arriving at Castan Mondragon on Celebrating 37, 1632, Ginger has officially begun her mission to get to the bottom of all of Soterri's Political Secrets!

Accomplishments & Achievements

Ginger considers her greatest achievement in life to be the learning of magic from The Western Kingdom!
As one of the very few in all of Kanda who know such magic, even considering its application, it gave her a huge leg up on the competition against her family   Understanding her value, her next dearest accomplishment is her first commission, after which she was told by her father that she was OFFICIALLY a Partaneros now, at only 11!   Being chosen as the official investigator to Soterri by The Generositas, while her most recent major accomplishment, remains at the top of Ginger's List of great things to have done in her life!
While Marek Of War-Saw got her the position, Ginger has taken the position very seriously and is dedicating every fiber of her being to fulfilling her mission goals!

Failures & Embarrassments

The One And Only TRUE Embarrassment Ginger Has Ever Faced Was The Founding Of The Twenty-Five!   Her entire life had led up to choosing the right man, to wooing someone far above her station and making her family proud!
In that, Ginger failed spectacularly the night she joined Ta Tangia Enbria!
She wasn't even allowed to meet her prospective husband; merely told by the FIRST girl to try that she wouldn't succeed!
One less disciplined female even tried to argue but that argument was slapped down.
It became readily apparent that all of her life of training and practice to be the perfect, heightened woman in Kandia Society was, if perhaps not a waste of time, certainly not what she should have been dedicating herself to!   The very things she was told she would never need were the things she needed most when Marek Of War-Saw arrived!
For that she's always felt insecure and unfit for her position as one of The Highest Of Marek's Shadows...

Mental Trauma

While it was brief and Ginger has weathered it well enough, she occasionally has nightmares of when Domitia's Father nearly cut her belly open with a knife when Ginger came to Domitia's rescue!
That Marek's Master Of Arms was stabbed, Marselos was put in a coma and Domitia was stricken so hard about the head and ears that it left her deaf and concussed for weeks.
... And Ginger's Legacy was threatened in the form of a knife to her belly, cutting against her clothing and threatening to break her flesh before Marek Of War-Saw was able to intervene and relieve Augustus Auroterri of the offending arm!   For such treasonous and threatening acts in a time of crisis, Domitia's Father was publicly strangled to death by Ginger's own father but Ginger still remembers the terror she felt at the time for stepping to her friend's defense...
Sometimes... she still wakes up crying from remembering it... from dreaming of it.

Intellectual Characteristics

Ginger represents the combination of raw genius with an entire formative lifetime of overwhelming family support, proper education and a curiosity that those around her never felt the need to discourage!
On strict talent alone she is probably just as intelligent as Domitia, merely lacking the raw learning knack that Domitia waves above the rest of The Twenty-Five.
Despite this, Ginger is still the most intelligent and academically capable of the lot of them, having considerable academic knowledge from her formative years taught by well paid tutors and masters of their craft and possessing of a sort of ability to learn more quickly than her fellows even beyond her impressive natural intelligence.   Because of this Ginger is not nearly as skilled an actor and deceiver as her superior but is known to speak very cogently and recite all manner of trivia if prompted to.
She has a deep well of personal knowledge to call upon and acts like it, never asking for help publicly and always the one the rest of ta Tangia Enbria rely on to answer questions they don't want to bother Domitia with.
She prides herself on also being an intellectual speaker in the presence of men; possessing a cunning social demeanor and biting wit that often leave men she is unimpressed with feeling humbled and incapable.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Ginger is one of the rare few within The Twenty-Five who had a perfectly viable future ahead of her long before The Bringer Of Fertility arrived!
She would have been able to go on and claim an extremely prestigious future as a Partaneros just like her father, carrying on the family name into outright national fame.   This being said, Ginger's motivations revolve around self perfection!
She desires to become as good at the arts as her father, as well practiced in her magic as anyone who seeks out the force of nature that magic is.
She desires to be seen and respected and to be regarded as untouchable... and in that she's already succeeded.
That being said, she still desires to improve beyond anyone else.
The very existence of Domitia shows her that she still has a ways to go before she can be properly unapproachable; before she can decide her own destiny BEYOND her original plan to become a great Partaneros.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

When it comes to bending in, the LAST person you want to ask is Ginger.
Everything about her, from her strikingly vibrant red hair to her fair skin to her color changing freckles marks her in a crowd and she generally fails in the art of stealth even if she possesses all prerequisite abilities to maintain such gambits.
Something about Ginger pulls attention to her in a way that simply precludes stealth and the concept of being "undercover."

Virtues & Personality perks

Beyond almost anything else, Ginger is seen as extremely patient, confident and contemplative.
She never cries, worries or agonizes over anything, never requires public assistance or guidance from Marek or any other Tutors, always turns in her work and finishes her assigned duties promptly and almost always seems downright idle when not specifically at work; patiently practicing her craft dutifully or skeptically gathering what necessary information she thinks will aid her in her next assignments.
She never shows fear or burnout and she seldom needs to take breaks even from the more grueling parts of training; Her force of will, it seems, being sufficient to push her through MOST hardship even when her body starts to fail.

Hygiene

Like many of the Twenty-Five, Ginger has her own personal set of bathing and hygiene rituals, though her own is far more specific to her particular physical traits.
Her hair requires a half an hour to magically reinforce and style every day, though she consistently does this during lunch time in private, as she eats apart from the other girls, normally using the excuse of study to cover her more cosmetic magical skills.
Despite the intense and dedicated magical attention put into her hair every day, Ginger MAY go a few days without repeating this without it getting out of control.
While her hair is always exquisitely styled, tangle free and perpetually behind her where it belongs, she seldom seems to run a brush or comb through it; though she CAN easily if she wants to.
All styling, brushing, cleaning and otherwise handling is done through bare hands and shaping magic.   Like MOST native Kandia and especially those born and raised in The Core, Ginger is extremely fond of communal hot water bathing, often using one of the large master bathrooms in the top floor of Marek's Personal Manor with others in The Twenty-Five to soak on a daily basis.
If the Manor's tubs are full she generally goes to the Hot Springs at the Gume Zhu with Chahua.

Social

Contacts & Relations

While the Stasucto name itself is relatively new on the public scene, formerly that of a simple farmer family known for extremely dedicated service for some generations, Ginger's father Primus has made the family name into a regional staple!
Wealthy commissioners hear of his work from far and wide and go out of their way to find him and request personal custom art pieces for their private enjoyment.
He alone is known as one of the few experts of carving and sculpting that was able to smuggle himself beyond the boundaries of Eldin's Blockade and learn the secrets of Western Stone Carving and Shaping Magic!
Simply being directly related to her father in this small but prestigious family is a great boon.   Because of this, however, Ginger's greatest relations happen to come from outside the family!
Her father has made art pieces for many different families across the core of Kanda and she has gone with him to attend to that business much of the time so as to better learn the family business.
Through these travels she's met all manner of now good friends that write to her regularly and even occasionally commission her.
While she is not the master her father is, she's regarded as the most studious of his children and certainly the most experienced in his particular brand of magic.
This ensures that she has many suitors, social climbers and aspiring father-in-laws sending her letters, promising her favors and offering all manner of intriguing propositions just to be better connected with "The Daughter Of Stasucto."   Despite being part of The Twenty-Five, Ginger only knows Chahua very well; having grown up spending time at The Shar's Master Of Orchards Gume learning Hu-Lao and playing with his daughter while he and her father talked mostly business.
]Otherwise Ginger spent a surprisingly small amount of time within Shar Essaro and thus didn't make many friends within the borders of Almindi's land.

Family Ties

Ginger is extremely close to her mother and father, who have collectively dedicated almost all of their resources to raising her as the true heir to the family name.   Despite this, she has a younger brother of just five years that she has a strong affection for and dedicates a lot of attention to finding him small gifts, sending him letters and helping him understand that he needs not fear any competition from her.
He, unlike her, has little talent for the family business and shows considerable merit in the ways of combat and field intrigue.
Whenever she goes back home to visit her father she makes sure to spend time with him and occasionally brings him to Marek's Manor to meet the rest of the Twenty-Five and to see what his big sister is doing with her life.
Unlike many Kandia boys, her brother sees no reason to find her inferior due to being a woman.
It is readily apparent even to a child that the name of Stasucto will be carried on by Primus' daughter, not by him.
He instead has voiced that he wants to be a Letanar and a career commander, which makes the family just as proud as Ginger has.

Religious Views

As with many Kandia, Ginger simply subscribes to the overarching Pantheonic System of Kanda.
As any good artist, she has a score and a half of artistic deities that she makes weekly sacrifices of meat and honey to as well as obviously supporting and praying to The God Of Shar Essaro: Sarbaros.   However, she has recently started explicitly praying in private to Marek Of War-Saw as the Bringer Of Fertility and as an artistic representation of an artistic fertility god from about a thousand years ago known as Priondos; a comical but law and justice related demigod in the Kandia mythos with numerous comedic sexual connotations.
As any good Kandia who has heard the myths of the Founders growing up, Ginger naturally views Marek Of War-Saw as second in power only to the Kandar himself and therefor views him as a god worth praying to.

Mannerisms

Ginger holds herself as a collected, confident and perceptive woman who seldom uses filler words or thought spacers like "Uh," "Um" "Like" "Ya Know" or other such vernacular constructs when she speaks; always maintaining near perfect elocution and social pacing and having long studied and practiced the art of Social Combat in the Kandia Culture.   Having deeply studied classical poetry and literature as well as being fluent in Hu-Lao since very young, she's able to think in different languages and thus different modes of speech and her mastery of different social constructs from different cultures plays out in her speech, allowing her considerable vocabulary as well as the ability to lay out rather snappy comebacks and exchange social quips back and forth with even the most practiced of speakers.   Despite being very lively in conversation and having a ready understanding of gesture, she very typically emphasizes with her hands or body, preferring the standard disposition of a Kandia female to stay still when speaking so as to direct more attention to the face and voice rather than distract with the hands or bosom.
However, she has been known to "point" with an open hand at things when speaking to groups; specifically to point out the object of her statements.

Hobbies & Pets

Ginger has a pet Thick-Billed Crow named Arabox that lives with her and is very affectionate toward her. While he is not always with her she does like to carry him around from time to time just to make sure he is seen and heard.
While not magical in nature, the bird (which weighs just over 3 pounds) is extremely intelligent, may carry on charming conversation in Kandia, was raised in captivity and has a variety of tricks and talents that allow it to have distinct utility in her life.
He is fully free-flight trained and always returns to Ginger if he cannot find his way. Barring that he will always try to return home.
Perhaps not the most personable of pets, Arabox is extremely hand-shy around strangers and will hold out his foot when they threaten to pet him or simply tell them something along the lines of "Do Not Touch Me! I Do Not Like That!"
Despite this relatively anti-social personality, Arabox is considered an extremely well trained and impressive partner to Ginger and almost everyone that meets him loves him.

Speech

Ginger Possesses the husky, deep voice of a mature woman with the ability to project astoundingly and, at the same time, has the vocal training to consistently hit high notes for long periods of time or even change her voice entirely to one of about five other impressions she can pull off.
While she has no accent in Eldin, Hu-Lao, Getania or Duckspeak she can barely chain together sentences in English Or Polish yet. Still, she understands more than she lets on.   Free from slang, sarcasm or strange vocal ticks, Ginger is known as a flawless speaker with all manner of training in political demeanor and public speaking.
She speaks in a level tone most times, only breaking her calm through rousing and entertaining conversation.
She does not swear or insult others but does target their social slights in conversation and, when displeased, will relay them to her interlocutor to alert them of being uncouth, often scathingly and in front of others to humble them.
Though not overly fond of it, Ginger sometimes speaks in light metaphors or indirect statements; true to the nature of her artistic lifestyle. (See her quotes)

Wealth & Financial state

While technically all her wealth belongs to the family at large, Ginger's father is an extremely well to do Partaneros and provides her with a monthly stipend that she is allowed to use as she likes.
Due to her general frugality and somewhat reserved public nature Ginger has been able to amass a fair amount of personal funds with which to spend on more expensive items.   Even more importantly, her father is more than willing to provide her with nearly any and all simple requests she may have, allowing her to dedicate herself more to academic and creative ventures.
