Gelina

The Soulless Gelina Sunsorrow

"What comfort is there for me? There is no relief from the flames that torture my soul."
A gifted warlock who prides herself on never breaking an oath. She is reserved and standoffish with the rest of Silvermoon Crusade]1(organization:bc7d66e6-9d97-4e0f-a481-ba3379d05893) choosing to let her actions speak over her words. She is the checker at the @[Sunsorrow Tailoring & Accessory Shop and runs the day to day matters. She claims to be the most powerful warlock in the power and no one has dared to argue with her. In addition to running the day to matters of the shop, she owns it although everyone who comes in thinks that her brother or sister are the ones that do. Gelina has never corrected them either and believes that her hard work and love for the shop are more than enough. Similarily she is not the leader of Silvermoon Crusade but has enough pull within the organization that she can sway Laste Sunsorrow.
