Ghislaine Marcel

Ghislaine Bijou Victoire Marcel, born April 21st, 1865 AE, is the daughter of Captain Etienne Marcel and older sister of Alphonse Marcel. Like her brother, Ghislaine is slim-built and dark-skinned, with dark brown eyes, and long, curly black hair. Ghislaine takes after her mother's side of the family, which has traces of the island's Native Amerindian ancestry. Unlike her brother though, Ghislaine is a magician which she uses to help her father operate the Sylphide.

Ghislaine grew up helping her father smuggle people and goods from Haiti to the Union, after the family fled in the aftermath of the fall of the monarchy of King Christophe. When Ghislaine's power is discovered, her father finds her a teacher, though he proves useless to the young girl and more interested in payment than her education. Ghislaine dismisses him herself, making the man "walk the plank" off the airship while it is hovering over the New Amsterdam river. Because of this and other incidents, Ghislaine has a fierce reputation among the crew, who admire her strength and ruthlessness.

Ghislaine abhors ladies' fashions and their restrictive, conservative style for they are useless to her on the airship.
