## History

Gabrielle had a difficult childhood because of her family moving from place to place. She was born between a family member from a branch of the Khun Family and a Ha Family Zahard Princess, knowing the Khun and Ha Family were not on good terms and that Zahard Princesses are not allowed to bear children, her family had to live in hiding from the three families. It has been shown in her flashback that she and her parents had a great bond but despite the precautions, her parents were found and killed by Ren and an unnamed Zahard's Princess. Fortunately, during the attack, Gabrielle's parents had hid her and she was saved by her uncle who went to visit them. Her uncle then adopted her and introduced her as their own daughter to hide her from the other families, yet because of her black hair and lean build, they were afraid that she'd get caught as a member of the Ha Family.

Through the years, she was trained by her uncle and his wife who were both trained swordsmen and were capable in using a variety of different types of weapons. She was shown with kindness and love by both her uncle and aunt-in-law that she grew to become a strong, kind, and confident but humble woman. Though she is shown to not fully move on from her tragic past, having to see both of her parents dead on the ground, she is doing her best to move on and fulfill her vow to her mother, to always wear a smile on her face even in grim situations and to become stronger to protect those weaker than her. This moved her to become the best that she can be and climb the tower.

It was also revealed in the past that Gabrielle and Taehyun had met in the past when Gabrielle's uncle had trained them on how to use ki-sensing. Since Taehyun is a family member of the Khun Family, both of them are relatives, but, since Taehyun's father is only an adoptive son of Khun Eduan, they are not biologically related.

## Tower of God: Part 1

### Evankhell's Hell

Gabrielle began on the Second Floor with the other Regulars. Ever since the beginning, she has shown to become very intimidating and powerful in combat. Though she has shown no interest in killing any of the participants and just waited for the time to pass until there were 200 contenders left. Though there were still other participants who were set on killing her, she had blocked all of the incoming attacks and had injured some of them, but avoided to fully end their lives. During the battle she meets Khun and found him very familiar. Khun then asks her if she wants to become allies and she agrees, Khun then asks her if she wants to hide in his briefcase but she declined, telling him that she'll be fine without his protection. They are then seen walking together as they find Baam who was a holding the Black March and began being interested in him, she also had many questions in mind knowing that these weapons can only be wielded by princesses. Khun then asks if he wants to become allies, when suddenly Rak continued to rage at them on the other side of the rock. It was then announced that they had to create a team of three, when suddenly, she gets pulled by Taehyun and Serena. Paired up with Taehyun she would manage to get through the Barrier Test easily, but Serena was having trouble passing it. She then gives a hint to LeeSoo and Serena as they ended up passing the test with their determination.

### Yu Han Sung's Examination

Gabrielle then walks up to Khun, Baam, and Rak, and introduces herself. Mr. Neonbag then comes in and gives them a useful clue. Since Gabrielle had mastered ki-sensing, she was able to know if whether he was lying to them or not, and she sensed that he wasn't. And yet, Khun did not accept this and ignored the clue. Gabrielle walks up to Taehyun and Serena and tells them the clue, as soon as it was their turn, Gabrielle was confident in all of the doors and signaled Taehyun to open one door, as soon as Yu Han Sung was done explaining, Taehyun immediately opened the door closest to him and passed the test. This made Yu Han Sung amazed by their good sense of judgements.

### Crown Game

Gabrielle and Taehyun apologizes to Serena of what they were about to do during the Crown Game before they entered the field. Gabrielle then nods to Khun, signaling him that they are allies. Gabrielle then begins attacking Endorsi, and to her surprise, both of them were equally matched. Despite having the same goal of not taking the crown, Gabrielle wanted to challenge her after sensing that she was part of Zahard's Princesses. Yet, their team lost after Serena accidentally stepped back to their room when Baam had jumped off from the throne.

### Position Test

She was then placed in the Fisherman position. During the training, she sat along with Baam, Khun, Rak, Serena, and Taehyun during breaks and talked to them, as soon as she saw Anak passing her way, she then grabs her arm as Anak hugs her. It was then revealed that both had known each other before and were good friends, Gabrielle then tells them that she had to talk to Anak privately. They then talk about why they wanted to climb the tower and it was revealed that they had the same interests and goals in mind. She had also made friends with both Hatsu and LeeSoo, whom she found helpful as allies and friends.

### Zahard's Princesses

During one of the tests, she finds Anak lying on the ground as Androssi tells her how she's a "fake" princess. Angered, Gabrielle then fights with Androssi telling her that she may be a princess but her heart is nothing but fake. Anak then pushes Androssi as her heels broke off, as Androssi was about to fall off, she then grabs unto Anak's hand and drags her down. Gabrielle then grabs unto Anak trying to pull her up but, Anak's hand had slipped and they ended up falling from the pillars. Because of this, she had passed the test and won several points. Though she still felt bad about Anak.

### Hide and Seek

She was assigned in the Hide-and-seek#TeamB during the Hide-and-seek test. As Team A takes the test, team B stays in a room, observing the first team. At the final part of the test Anak reaches to the exit but, Quant had caught her first, Taehyun then whispers up to her saying it was Khun Aguero's doing, Gabrielle then replies, dubbing him, "Classic Khun".

When it was Team B's turn, Androssi had stopped the other regulars from fighting over who was going to be leader, and told them that she would lead, and yet Gabrielle had sensed that Androssi had ulterior motives. Instead of following the plan, she followed Androssi, Baam, Des Lion, and Hong Chunwa instead. Taehyun then walks up to Gabrielle and asks what she is doing, she then replies that she doesn't trust Androssi and gives Taehyun a green magic stone so that he could track her location if ever anything goes wrong.
