Persona & Interests Gabrielle was born in Nante, Brittany, in 1500, third of three daughters. Her mother died shortly after she was born. Her father never remarried. She was tutored extensively as a child so she would be able to assist her father with the business and legal aspects of his paper mill. Much more to her liking, she was also trained in the art of rapier to encourage grace and strength suitable to a young lady, as well as provide self defense in cities. Her marriage was arranged in 1520 to a Scottish Mercenary as part of a compact for protection by the company for goods shipped to England and Scotland. She lived in Scotland near St. Andrews, planning household and lands in the frequent absences of her mercenary husband. Again, much more to her liking were the continued lessons in rapier that her husband arranged for her from a local fencing master. She was also delighted to learn much about the healing arts from other local women. The current year, 1530, has been a turbulent time. After her husband was killed in a border raid, she returned hurriedly to Brittany. She has assumed duties assisting her father at his mill.
