Character Summary:

Like her twin brother Gaston, Gabrielle is the child of Duke Guillaume and his wife Gislain. For the most part she had a rather average life growing up. Where her brother was taken away to Equestria to live with her father, Gislain raised the gryphling like any other griffon would. She attended school, made friends… Kinda. For the most part Gabrielle was a bit of a loner, usually found reading a book or studying.

For the most part Gabrielle did quite well, her grades were high and was looking forward to continuing her education. Her mother had done a great job raising her to be a smart if somewhat reclusive griffon. Unfortunately things would take a turn for the when Gislain fell to illness. Like her twin it was only a couple months after her birthday and the death impacted both Gabrielle and her father deeply. Guillaume regretted not spending more time with her wife while Gabrielle lost the most important figure in her life. Even Gaston mourned despite never getting along with their mother.

When all was said and done however a problem remained. Gabrielle had nowhere to go. While she was certainly old enough to live on her own Guillaume made the offer for her to stay with him and her brother in Canterlot. Using some of his influence the Duke was able to secure her a place at the university, it was a pointless gesture though, Gabrielle could have gained admittance on her own thanks to her high marks.

Days turned to weeks, which then turned to months and years. Gabrielle, at the suggestion of her father, studied political sciences at the university. As for her brother the griffon made a couple attempts to form a friendly bond but they were rebuffed. The two personalities clashed too much and Grabrielle found herself disliking Gaston a fair bit, not that he noticed.

Their relationship would sour even more a couple years after their mothers death. One night the griffon came home to find documents left behind by their father detailing a trade agreement between Equestria and Aquellia. Having studied these things, Gabrielle took the opportunity to look them over. Usually it was Gaston that was forced to study and even then he did so with mild enthusiasm. Her brother was more interested in the parties and social events that frequently dragged him about Canterlot. That or some new pony or griffon female Gaston had set his eye on.

After much examination Gabrielle went to her father with suggestion on ways to improve the document so as to skew it in favour of the griffons over the long run. Amused by his daughters suggestions the Duke decided to try them out, they certainly seemed harmless to the average observer. The result however surprised them both.

Duke Guillaume was a very blunt politician. Over the years he had built up a reputation among his peers of being straightforward and unsubtle in his dealings with Equestria. So it came as quite a surprise when the trade agreement manages to pass through the ranks of government, its changes unnoticed by the ponies who did not realize that the document was weighted in Aquellia favour as opposed to a fair and balanced trade benefiting both nations equally. The fact that it reached the highest levels of Equestria’s government before being rejected was shocking.

The results cast Gabrielle in a new light for the Duke. For years he had tried to train his son to be his successor and despite some shortcomings the griffon was well on his way to being a clone of his father. Gabrielle however… She had the mind to scheme and be subtle. With a bit more training and time the Duke figured she would be able to assure Aquellian dominance instead of the equality and stifling balance that the ponies tried to maintain. Gabrielle doesn’t mind this. She had wanted to be close to her father for a long time and this seemed like a great way for them to bond. Her brother however feels threatened by this turn of events and its only made their relationship worse.

Personality: Gabrielle is… Quiet. Where her brother is loud and boastful, she is silent and calculating. Where Gaston would display himself for the world to see , his sister would prefer to remain unnoticed so that she could work in peace. She is quite literally his opposite. Some would say it’s almost ungriffon like… And in a way they are right. Gabrielle tends to keep to herself and her studies, only disturbing others when she absolutely must. That isn’t to say shes a push over. Like all griffons she can be quite fearsome when angered or her pride is harmed, it just takes allot for her to get in such a mood.

Hey there, TheCustodian

So, there has been a bit of an oversight on your Gaston app, and something that needs addressing in this one.

-Numbered ages, even for birthdays, are a big no. We don't really know how the ponies (or Griffons for that matter) age, so we have to ask you to replace it with something else.

-You spelled Aquellia wrong a couple of times. Should be an easy fix.

[TheCustodian]

Changed.
