My Version of Ginevra "Ginny" Gothel!
And possibly some Gothel family lore...
The youngest daughter and child of Mother Gothel
Neither she nor Mother Gothel knows who her father is. Mother Gothel doesn't care, Ginny tries her best not to.
She's completely aware that her sister, Cassandra, is in Auradon playing besties with Queen Rapunzel and traveling the world without a care.
For as long as she could remember, she harbored resentment against the two. If anyone in that damned country knew how horrible of a woman Mother Gothel was, it'd be those two. And yet, they never managed to save her.
Little does she know, both Cassandra and Rapunzel have written letters to Ginny since they knew of her existence. Mother Gothel makes sure to burn them before they reach Ginny.
Ginny's relationship with Mother Gothel is very dysfunctional. If they're not yelling at each other over the most minute things, they're co-existing in passive-aggressive, petty silence. And if they're not doing either of those, Ginny attempts to zone out as Mother Gothel retells the millions of stories of her youth.
While Mother Gothel cannot "find use in Ginny" like she could with Rapunzel, she figured she could try to make her into her personal maid. Despite trying to wear down her self-esteem and confidence by insulting her looks, her brains, and essentially who Ginny is as a person, Ginny doesn't budge.
Mother Gothel also consistently reminds her daughter to never trust a soul on the Isle ("Mother knows best, listen to your mother, it's a scary world out there"). While Ginny is much more skeptical and disobedient of her mother than Rapunzel ever was, she takes her advice with a grain of salt.
Combine Ginny's cynicism with her unresolved resentment (and her self-esteem issues) and you have one of the meanest VKs to roam the streets. (Mad Maddy once made a snarky remark about Cassandra and Ginny shaved half her head bald when they were 9. Carlos accidentally bumped into her one day and she trapped a stray dog inside of Hell Hall. She pushed Zevon off the wharf one day simply because she was in a bad mood.)
With what few friendships she does manage to form, Ginny manages to self-sabotage to avoid getting too close to avoid a potential back-stabbing. Better to strike than get struck. (Which is exactly why she goes behind Harriet's back and makes out with Anthony Tremaine, or why she snitched to Judge Frollo when she discovered that Claudine had joined the Rotten Apples and was playing secular music.)
One of the most manipulative people on the Isle, she can turn into a real charmer and get most to do just about anything she wants.
Do not underestimate Ginny, the girl is a fighter and carries a hidden dagger on her person at all times. It's usually strapped to her thigh. (The only reason she loses to Harriet is because she's Harriet Hook and has a crew behind her if Ginny decides to draw her weapon.)
Much like Evie, Ginny has an interest in fashion and makeup, though her preferences and stylings skew much darker, more vintage, and somewhat gothic and bohemian in comparison. She's a sucker for capes and anything in velvet.
Surprisingly, Ginny loves giving makeovers. But she'll kill you if you blab and play it off like she's forcing you to wear something completely appalling. Her favorite guinea pig is Claudine Frollo. She doesn't fight back
Ginny loves photography, specifically urban and landscape photography. Her first picture ever was a little glimmer of the floating lanterns behind the gray forcefield of the Isle at night. She stole the camera from Dr. Facilier's shop.
Ginny also has a secret fascination with magic, specifically her own, and is itching to escape the barrier to see what she can do. Whenever she's bored and alone, she sneaks into Madam Mim's magic school and browses through the lesson plans.
The Gothels were once a powerful family coven of forest witches known for stealing sacred spells, potions, artifacts, and what not from others and used them self-servingly. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ had been informed of their misdeeds and cursed the family bloodline after they insulted them when confronted. Until one learns from the consequences of their greed, each generation shall be weaker than the last.
To spite ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their victims, the Gothels crafted a spell book encyclopedia of sorts of all their spoils and glamoured it so only those of Gothel blood could read out of it.
Ginny has a reputation for being promiscuous. Ginny doesn't necessarily care to fight the rumors, that's what happens when the two people you've ever made out with were Anthony Tremaine and one of Gil's older brothers.
She's not necessarily an alcoholic but the girl has quite a collection of stolen liquors and other alcohol hidden in a secret compartment in her drawer. Her favorite is wine, particularly Merlot.
