"They say 'time heals', but even now … I know that’s a lie.
What people really mean is that eventually you’ll get used to the pain.
You’ll forget who you were without it;
you’ll forget what you looked like without your scars."

[Chaotic Good Grifter]
Defiant • Secretly Empathic • Self-Sacrificing
Rarely does she go by her full name, preferring the nickname Gida (gee-dah; hard g like in good). Not many actually know what she does, if anyone notices her at all. She tends to be quiet and seem dismissive and judgemental with a perfected resting...boss face. Those who hazard a guess would say she is some sort of scout perhaps. Those who have seen her perform either via dance, song (rarely for an audience), or knife tricks would guess performer. Or perhaps both.
Very few know she runs vigilante-style defensive/protective intelligence and sabotage operations - vigilante grifter and mastermind (She predates the show Leverage, but very much operates like they do). Only those who get close (precious few thanks to their defensively prickly personality and untrusting nature) would even guess how big her heart really is. Others are more inclined to dismiss her as a cold and uncaring rogue. She can be a little too obsessed and vicious when pursuing justice for wronged innocents (to the point of self-sacrifice). She can also be quick to annoyance, anger, and raise defensive barriers as well, though only someone who knows her well would know when she feels such emotions as she maintains a great deal of control over her expressions, voice, and body language. Often her version of vigilante justice relies on her grifting talents to con bad beasts and dragons into causing their own downfall. She adopts various personas of either gender - gifted in acting and disguise and never talks about the past that's left her so damaged. If she were to think on it, she'd probably identify as gender fluid, but when presenting as Gida she/her pronouns are what people usually use and she doesn't bother to correct them or open up about the days she enjoys presenting as androgynous or masculine under different names.

Additional Notes:
The familiar's name is Tsalagi ("Cherokee") for raven. The dragon's full name is also a Tsalagi word for "Dance". Technically their full name should be Alasgida Igvyi (First to dance). When I originally picked it over a few decades ago, the vocab list left off the Igvyi and claimed that Alasgida alone meant "First in the dance". The character has grown quite a bit since then, their name as "First in the dance" still fits though if you don't mean a literal happy dance (or if you go back far enough into their childhood before trauma-train struck, or if you consider "dancing" in the sense of fighting. They're 100% a strong-willed person filled with fight in a subtle finesse sort of way (their D&D counterpart was a dancer/dervish).

"I wanted to take the chance to appreciate all of your dragons. Currently im in the midst of a lair crawl through all of them and booping their stars. Sure, that might take me a while, but i dont mind. I've seen how much care went into them and how much time you spent on them. In particular i wanted to highlight how much I love Alasgida. The beautiful colors, the Catharsis, everything about them really spoke to me. While I don't have similar conflicts myself, that is okay because everyone struggles with something different. And thank you for being willing to share, that can be very difficult."

"Alasgida is first of all absolutely beautiful - and fierce. I love the darkness of her overall look. Absolutely stunning. I really like the mix of woodwing apparel too! (Also fiction and writing is a great way to discover and explore things about yourself - I've definitely found myself telling stories as a way of telling myself things, even if I didn't realise it at the time of writing!) I hope that finding justice for others helps Alasgida with what happened in her past, and I'm glad you've managed to write some of those healing paths for her."

"You have three gorgeous shares as always! Reading about Alasgida and Tiandath, it was easy to feel that sense of catharsis - it’s clear there’s so much care and consideration put into their development. And Peridot’s sun-soaked aesthetic is just as dreamy as they are, I could look at them for ages."

"Alasgida is just sooo striking. Their apparel is so wonderfully matched, kinda gives me the vibe of her like dripping in shadows and wealth, but also potentially armor? It's a really neat combination. As always the scene and familiar match is perfect."

"I'm making a concerted effort to not spend the rest of the night writing essays about your dragons... but this one stopped my in my tracks. [Image of Gida]
Shadeborn Shadow Dancer Alasgida is the type of character that I would absolutely read a novel about. She has a kind of powerfulness about her that seems like it took a lot of work to come into. Her outfit is also just top notch... It seems like it should feel cluttered, but it all works so well together that it doesn't. You're too cool, Gida <3"
