GEMMA JOLIETTE LEGUME ◘ DAUGHTER OF GASTON & CLAUDETTE ◘ ISLE-BORN ◘ 19
gemma joliette legume was born on the isle, and is the elder half-sister of gaston jr., gaston the third, and gil. she has been working in her father’s tavern since she was thirteen. she always knew that she wanted to be a tavern girl. there was never really anything else that she thought she could aspire to on the isle, anyway. so, she became the best damn tavern girl the isle had ever seen.
she tended to keep out of the core four's trouble, choosing instead to tend to her family's tavern and supply the isle with the lukewarm, days old beer that always seemed to be in stock.
she harbored no desire to go to auradon, and no ill-will to anyone who wanted to go. she was, generally, a good girl. sure, she could get up to a little mischief, but it wasn't villainy. just your typical teenage rebellion. staying out past curfew, getting into the tavern's beer before she was old enough. things like that.
she's a loyal big sister to her younger brother's, always keeping an eye out for the boys who seemed to take after their father. gemma tended to take after her mother, moreso than her father. she was a beauty, and her mother always wanted her to find a nice spouse to settle down with.
when the barrier comes down, gemma finds herself a little more intrigued about auradon, if only for the opportunity of opening a tavern of her own in one of the well-off kingdoms around auradon. she would spend her days off wandering around the various towns, looking for any little place that was up for sale. she'd managed to save up a nice amount, from working at the family tavern.
maybe part of her wanted to swindle the rich auradonians, but that was likely the most villainous thing about her. she's still searching for a place to call her own.
