Gwangi Gold Rush: Giselle Marsh

HUMANS AND DINOSAURS MAN YOU GOTTA JOIN THIS
(Clarified a few vague parts, no major changes.)
Human

Name: Giselle Marsh

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Height: 5'7"

Nationality: American (Roots trace back to Egypt and somewhere in Europe.)

Personality: Giselle is, or was as the case may be, the picture of a model woman. She was homely, soft spoken and her wild ideas and nature was very subdued. She was also a bit on the spoilt side. As an only child of a well-off rancher she was given anything that struck her fancy. She's not used to being told 'no.'
Her personality has started to undergo a change with her father pushing her out of the box she grew up in. She was encouraged to speak her mind, take risks and generally be used to not only not getting her way, but also having other duties outside her basic necessities that required attention. With this new responsibility came a nervous attitude. She's not very comfortable with her new potential role, but accepts it "for the good of the ranch". She's getting more and more outspoken, especially when she looses her temper, but otherwise she remains quiet and very reserved. She's also very protective of anything that belongs to the ranch, as a whole, putting the needs of it above her own.

History: Giselle grew up the only daughter of a well off rancher raising iguanodon in Oregon. She wanted for nothing and was raised to be a proper lady. She also had many flights of fancy and was never turned down. One of these was one of the baby Stygimolochs the family trained to herd, she demanded to be her pet. She was not turned down and Artemis became a staple in her life. She grew up to be very spoilt, and had a large "princess" attitude as a child. When it became apparent that she would not have a sibling, her parents began to curb her growth to be more geared toward running and owning the ranch. She was taught how to raise and train the stygimolochs (The herding dinos), how to ride, and what traits the family looked for in iguanodon/how to raise the iguanodon. She was also taught how to shoot should the need arise. (carnivores attacking, people hunting/stealing the dinos, ect.) She's never had to even hold a gun beyond the teaching, and she has hopes of never needing to. Her father also began teaching her the various ins and outs of the business, and started to push her to be more outspoken, take risks and generally do not what is expected of her, but what would best help the ranch.
She was beginning to accept her new role when she learned that the ranch could on hard times. Many potential clients had pulled their funds for newer ranches that had wild promises and "greater potential". her father would lament that if the ranch could continue for a few more years the buyers would return due to their breeds' superior genetics/quality. Unfortunately the ranch would not survive that long with the money they had. Her father then once mentioned that a contest was being held in a town called Gwandi for a gold mine. He laughed, saying only a fool would compete.
Giselle made a hard decision a week later. She (very badly) lobbed her long hair off, took some of her father's clothing and weapons, saddled up Peeve, one of the Irritator's the family rode and left for Gwangi. Artemis naturally came with. Giselle is now horribly out of her element, on what amount to stolen clothes and dinos and is considered missing. She tries very hard to hide her appearance. And just how nervous she is to be at Gwangi.


========================================

BATTLE DINO/MOUNT

Name: Peeve
Gender: Male
Species: Irritator
Height: 2.5 m
Misc: Peeve was attacked by raptors while very young. His neck was badly damaged but he made an otherwise full recovery. He cannot make loud roars like other large theropods, and instead makes what Giselle describes as "a horrid, garggly-grating noise". He likes to hear himself talk. He's not very bright, but is very loyal to the family. Because of his role as a ranch dino he is protective of ornithopods of all types.
===================


Name: Artemis
Gender: Female
Species: stygimoloch
Height: 0.7 m
Misc: More pampered than Giselle. Part of a litter of herding dinosaurs and has urges to herd large herbivores (By lightly headbutting their shins.) Knows she's pretty and demands acknowledgment of this fact.
