Gisella Terallia
Santa Gisella della Rosa Bianca in Fiore Terallia (a.k.a. Rose)
Gisella is a young woman living in the Imperial City in Cyrodiil. She is the daughter of Jacob Terallia and Maria Terallia, and works as a barmaid and occasional dancer in the local inns and taverns. Free-thinking and independent, and compassionate to a fault, Gisella loves to mingle with people and hear their stories.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Gisella is in good physical health, and has a good, varied diet - though she does enjoy the occasional sweetroll.
Body Features
Curvaceous and buxom, Gisella's body is often compared to Dibella herself. Indeed, many who first see her have mistaken her for an aspect of the Goddess of Beauty, which amuses her to no end. She is strongly tanned, spending most of the day outside in the markets and other gathering places. Despite her incredibly voluptuous figure, however, she is surprisingly strong and could easily break a would-be attacker's limbs.
Facial Features
Gisella wears thick, dark makeup around her eyes, and bright lipstick made from wine grapes. She has thick eyebrows and the affectionately-named "Terallia nose", a feature of many women in her family. She is particularly beautiful, and there is more than one poem dedicated solely to her eyes.
Identifying Characteristics
Two moles on her right cheekbone.
Special abilities
Highly proficient in both Illusion magic and use of battle whips.
Apparel & Accessories
Gisella usually wears typical barmaids' clothes: a long, flowing dress with a tight corset and bustier. When relaxing at home, she prefers simple shifts and gowns over the typical fitted outfit, and more than a few young men have been unwittingly treated to the sight of her in little more than a thin sheet of cloth when calling upon the Terallia house.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born shortly after the Great War in 4E 178, Gisella grew up close to her younger sister Jessa Terallia, whom she is closest in age with. Always sweet, well-mannered, and willing to lend an ear, Gisella quickly became a people person, and always left customers to her family's business impressed. After studying at the Imperial Academy, she decided to become a barmaid, surprising her family and friends. When asked why, she explained that what really she wanted in life was to listen to others' hopes and problems and talk with them and offer advice, and what better way to meet people than hang out at the local inns? Eventually, she said, she'd like to become a bard and tell tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Sexuality
Gisella is rather open with her relationships, and often is dating someone new each week. She prefers men, though she has been known to flirt with other women occasionally, especially after a few drinks. For better or worse, she has quite the reputation in the city as a generous lover, though few speak ill of her as she is an all-around likeable person - plus, she has gossip about nearly every person in town.
Education
Gisella studied at the Imperial Academy, getting good grades and receiving much praise for her good behavior and willingness to help her fellow students.
Employment
Working as a barmaid at several inns in the Imperial City, Gisella can be found most nights earning gold by serving beer and occasionally performing dances. Eventually, she wishes to formally become a bard and travel across Tamriel, but for now she is content simply to be an open ear for both residents and travelers alike.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Gisella loves to observe people and their lives, ever fascinated by the complex relationships and intricate details of everyday life. She wants to one day become a bard, and tell of the countless stories of ordinary people that she considers amazing.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Gisella is adept at Illusion magic, though her sisters joke that she would never need it as she "could sell the Imperial City to the Emperor". She has also trained extensively with battle whips, a unique weapon that she has proven deadly with.
On the other hand, she is famously bad at alchemy, and after several incidents, including one dubbed "The Flatulent Ghost Incident", she has sworn never to try it again.

Vices & Personality flaws
Though typically not a drinker, Gisella has a soft spot for Colovian Brandy, often imbibing more than she should. She is known in at least one tavern as "the wine-kisser", owing to the fact that she often becomes very flirty after just a couple of drinks, and that her lipstick tastes like wine.
Personality Quirks
Highly physically expressive, Gisella often playfully bumps or pets others as a sign of affection.
Social
Family Ties
Gisella is close with all her siblings, but is especially close with Jessa Terallia as the two often were together from a young age.
Relationships
History
Jessa and Gisella have been close for as long as either of them can remember, and growing up Gisella cared for her younger sister when their parents were busy. Even now, Gisella tries to look after the adventurous Jessa, sending her letters and care packages while the latter is on the road. When together, they talk deeply about topics like philosophy, politics, or even just whatever boy either is dating.
Wealth & Financial state
In addition to the wealth of the Terallia family, Gisella has made quite a bit of gold on her own, enough that she could retire pleasantly whenever she feels like it.
