== Background / Personal history ==
Even when Gilda was a young dwarf, her family and the Silverkeepers were close. She grew up around Placer Silverkeeper, knew his parents well, and spent holidays with them in the lava caves of Mount Hokkaido. They grew up together and everyone expected them to end up together in adulthood. So, that's exactly what happened. She and Placer had three wonderful children and, in turn, became grandparents to a total of five rambunctious young dwarves. She always loved her husband, but....
But she came to the middling of her life and realized that, for two hundred years, she had done what everyone else wanted of her. The trade skills she learned-- weaving and cooking-- were primarily for keeping a home.
When her youngest son, Seamus, became an adventurer, she started thinking about what his life must be like. Some danger, certainly, but he was out there doing things he wanted to do. And when Seamus married his husband Zadile, she was even more proud of him for choosing a partner that was "less respectable" according to dwarven society. (Dwarves do not typically partner up with orcs, but they say they are very happy together, and who is she to judge.)
Some forty years later, with an empty nest and a spouse who had discovered his favorite chair, she couldn't abide by the boredom and sadness of what her life had become. Since Placer wouldn't take her on a real vacation, she packed a bag and headed for a city, to at least have a few experiences before she withered up and died of old age.
She joined the Firebreathing Kittens after they rescued her from an unfortunate situation involving a mobster, some gambling debts, and a complete misunderstanding of what "dead man's arm" referred to-- Gilda assumed it meant the pastry, while the mob.... didn't.
