Gemma Uriel''' is an Imperial lumberjack turned miner working in Steamscorch Mine in Kynesgrove. She is Ganna Uriel's sister, and traveled from Cyrodiil to start a lumbermill business in Kynesgrove; a subsequent failure, as the surrounding trees turned out to be sacred to Kyne.

In order to pay the debts from the failed lumber project, Gemma reluctantly works the mine, and hacks away with her pickaxe every day between 8am and 5pm. She eats two one-hour meals a day, at 7am and 5pm, at the Braidwood Inn. Like most other residents of Kynesgrove, she sleeps in a tent in the neighboring camp, every night between 10pm and 6am. At all other times she wanders around the camp or spends time at the inn.

She wears a set of regular farm clothes and boots, and wields an iron dagger. She carries a random selection of lower-class items and gold.
 

Dialogue
When spoken to, Gemma will express her displeasure with her sister. She also knows Kynesgrove is a dead-end, and seems to have plans for the future.
:''"Wouldn't even be here if it weren't for my idiot sister."

:"I can't believe she dragged me all the way to this snowball. I'd rather be broke in Cyrodiil than broke here."

:"If these Nords don't let up soon, I might just make a break for it. At least Cyrodiil is warmer than this."

:"Oh, great, another wanderer. Slumming it on your way to Windhelm?"

Conversations
Gemma and Ganna can often be seen discussing their situation:

:Gemma Uriel: "I'll never understand why you're so bitter about everything."
:Ganna Uriel: "I'm bitter because we had lives in Cyrodiil. And we came out here to be paupers."
:Gemma Uriel: "But we choose our own path now."
:Ganna Uriel: "And a whole lot of good that's gotten us."

:Gemma Uriel: "There is some good news though. I think the borders of the shrine may be smaller than we think."
:Ganna Uriel: "Wait, so you think we'll be able to harvest some of the sacred trees up there?"
:Gemma Uriel: "Well that's just it. Some of them might not be sacred."
:Ganna Uriel: "I'll let you explain that one to the Nords."
:Gemma Uriel: "They have to be reasonable about it at some point."
:Ganna Uriel: "Gemma. This town is called 'Kynesgrove.' That stand of trees is Kyne's Grove. You don't honestly think you can just cut some down."
:Gemma Uriel: "Well, we have to cut down something!"
:Ganna Uriel: "Maybe we should just admit that this is a horrible place for a mill."

:Ganna Uriel: "What about Ulfric? Did you ever hear back from him?"
:Gemma Uriel: "No, but his housecarl sent us a letter."
:Ganna Uriel: "Why didn't you tell me? What did he say?"
:Gemma Uriel: "He... thanked us for contacting him, but said they didn't need any more lumber at the moment."
:Ganna Uriel: "Oh."
:Gemma Uriel: "You see? That's why I didn't tell you!"

:Gemma Uriel: "We've got a new order in."
:Ganna Uriel: "Is that a joke?"
:Gemma Uriel: "No! Roggi and Kjeld need some more support timbers for the mine."
:Ganna Uriel: "I suppose Kjeld asked for the usual discount?"
:Gemma Uriel: "Well, he is the mayor."
:Ganna Uriel: "No, it's fine. I don't mind being poor."

:Ganna Uriel: "That last brigade of soldiers said there's a tall forest on the eastern edge of the White River."
:Gemma Uriel: "Yes, but that's too close to Mixwater Mill. We don't want to get Gilfre angry at us by stealing her trees."
:Ganna Uriel: "Well we have to harvest somewhere! This is getting absurd."
:Gemma Uriel: "I want to make money just as much as you do, but we don't want to make the Nords angry."
:Ganna Uriel: "Who could tell the difference?"

:Gemma Uriel: "Did I tell you I got a letter from General Tullius? They've conscripted some more archers and will need..."
:Ganna Uriel: "Sssssh! That's not something we want everyone to be hearing."
:Gemma Uriel: "Oh, like the sleepy rebel supporters in this town are going to tell anyone."
:Ganna Uriel: "Let's just not take the chance. We can talk about this later."''
