Gideon Osmund

Official Season 2 full-body art of Gideon by Mackenzie Mullins

Gideon is a tiefling wild magic sorcerer, and an up and coming court mage willing to do almost anything to prove herself. Gideon’s magic may come from chaos that even she can’t control, but that hasn’t stopped her dream of one day being one of, if not the most powerful magic user in the realm. While she may have a more prickly exterior, those who know her best would admit she still has a soft side, even if begrudgingly. After all, who needs vulnerability when you have magic and power?

## Description

### Appearance

Gideon is a tall tiefling with red skin and horns, chin-length shaggy blonde hair with bangs, and lots of gold and silver piercings/body jewelry.

When at the castle or with the Arcaenon, Gideon has some fancier, dressier clothing she wears, but when they're sneaking out around Kyrthys they're more likely to be found wearing leather jackets and jeans while riding around on her motorbike.

## Biography

### Background

Though Gideon grew up living in Ossyrov Castle, they weren't always thrilled to be there. Technically an orphan from a young age, she has a parent-figure in their godfather Allan Osmund, one of the Heirophants of the Archaenon. Gideon was often a rule-breaker, which got them into trouble with many authority figures over the years. Since their breakup with Adrielle, she's been adventuring out of the castle more and more, for her monthly poker nights with Brine and other sundry adventures.

A huge, repressed nerd, Gideon puts up a grumpy front to keep people from finding out.

### Significant Relationships

#### Adrielle Hollowtide

Gideon and Adrielle have been life long friends, as they both have grown up in the Castle along with Current. As they continued to study in the Arcaenon, Adrielle and Gideon grew closer, and began dating about a year before the campaign starts. Gideon was Adrielle's first relationship, and they dated for 6-7 months before being "driven apart".

#### Current

Gideon and Current grew up together attending the Arcaenon's academy, and are very close friends. However, she's envious of the friendship that Current has with Adrielle, especially since their break up. There isn't any animosity between any of them, but Gideon has stopped going to places they all used to go together, because she doesn't want to make them uncomfortable if they run into one another. That said, Current and Gideon are regulars at Haus of Huntress, where Gideon eagerly cheers on Current when they fight or race.

#### Brine

Gideon met Brine because they witnessed Brine help smuggle someone from Court. The two occasionally meet up for a game of cards at Empanya Tavern, a hookah bar, and when Brine failed to show for one of the meetings Gideon worried something had happened.

Two weeks prior to the Arcaenon's announcement, Brine left a mixtape on Gideon's bed after a heated conversation about a joy ride that led to Brine getting put in the Kyrthys system for the first time in her life. When Gideon brings up the mixtape and tells Brine they're going into the Wildes with Adrielle, Brine makes the impulsive decision to join the party.

## Trivia
