Ginger is a young Caucasian lady with ginger hair and baby blue eyes. Casually, she wears a short blue dress with red buttons, a red ribbon around her waist and a blue ribbon tied around the hip of her dress. Her pearl necklace, pearl earrings, nails, and pumps are all light blue. She wears excessive amounts of make-up in all her outfits.

In her business attire, she wears a mahogany suit and pumps with black gloves. Her hair is tied up with a light blue scrunchie and she wears two pearl necklaces with pearl earrings which are both light blue.

Her party outfit consists of her hair being styled like Marilyn Monroe and wearing even more glamorous make-up. She wears light blue hoop earrings, lip stick, and a necklace with a green emerald. Her black waist-length dress is skin-tight with ribbons attached to each strap. She also wears see-through stockings with black pumps that also each have a ribbon.

In her cosplay outfit, she wears light blue underwear plus David's green jacket and dark blue cap. She wears her light blue pumps, necklace beads, and earrings as well.

## Personality

She is a flirtacious, glamor girl. Ginger is extremely nice to everyone that she meets and enjoys the company of others. Her extroversion allows her to surround herself with a lot of people and to be comfortable engaging in any conversation. She enjoys going to parties due to the amount of attention that she receives. She is a great people-person and a leader and always tries to put the needs of her people first. She is usually very flexible when given a difficult situation and can get out of any miniscule predicament with the help of Sabazios. She enjoys following trends and even setting her own kinds of trends. She loves fashion and looking good in front of everyone. However, sometimes she can be impulsive and act without giving a situation a first thought when she gets excited. She can be a workaholic and spend countless hours just doing mayorly work on her own. She is intelligent and clever but sometimes acts like a bimbo to look cute in front of others. Her intimacy towards others can get to the point where she doesn't mind outwardly expressing public displays of affection to her partners.

Ginger has a difficult time staying loyal with one romantic partner. Her openness to be intimate with people that she just met caused her to have many boyfriends/girlfriends, many of which she had already broken up with. David had just been the next in line to be apart of her large scope of polyamorous relationships. Even though she's experimented with long-term relationships in the past she always finds herself constantly moving on to new ones.

Despite her near-perfect characteristics she does have many flaws. Her perfectionism can get the better of her and drive her to obsession. She dreams of a perfect town but she does not know that perfection does not always come easy. She can be a cunning leader if given the opportunity to be as such. Her negative traits continue as she's disappointed a lot of people by only participating in one-night stands with the men/women that expected something much deeper. She can also get jealous when seeing other girls who try to combat her beauty especially of other people with ginger-colored hair.

Later in the series, it is shown that she has a deep fear of abandonment. A main reason why she would not allow the Oilers to leave her world is due to this trait. It is also why she is prone to always moving on with relationships because she does not want to lose someone who may grow too attached to her (disorganized attachment). These abandonment issues likely stemmed from the lack of attention and care that her parents gave her.

## Life

Before Blackwater, Ginger had lived within a wealthy family. She had everything come easy to her; butlers would bring her food, schedule her appointments, and buy her clothes. As a result of her pampering, she has difficulty taking care of herself. For example, she cannot cook without something going wrong.

She claims to have had a good relationship with both of her parents since she was an only-child. And being an only-child meant they could focus their attention on one daughter with no sibling competition. However, her father has shown to be cold, distant and only focused on his own work. He's the owner of a large oil company and primarily focuses his attention in those affairs. A metaphor for his lack of attention to his own daughter is that he would only look at her from the reflection of his mirror found on his chair but never at her directly. Despite this, Ginger continues to focus her goals on trying to impress her father. However, Ginger has the most interactions with her mother who gives her beauty advice and how to stand up for herself against other people. Her mother constantly tells her to stay out of trouble; which Ginger usually never heeds.

She gets lonely easily and constantly seeks the attention of others through going to parties or getting to meet others. To get her out of trouble, her mother recommended her to read more books. Ginger did so and became fascinated with a lot of them but did not like the fact that a lot the characters that she reads about have to die so tragically young. She even witnessed on news coverages of murders on the streets, starvation in other countries, and even suicide. The things she watched had horrified her and she wished for better change so that others may not suffer in the ways that they do. She wanted to be like her father, a leader who knows exactly what to do in any situation but she did not have the power to be like him. However, her life was about to change when she encounters the hand sculpture Sabazios.

Ginger had found the Sabazios sculpture from a gypsy who warned her of its power but she ignored these cautions. She was reminded of the books that she read where her favorite characters died due to tragedy and she wanted to prevent it. Ginger wanted to be a hero within her own story and save those types of people before they could meet their doom. Sabazios was able to fulfill that wish for her so long as she never abandoned her hope for a better future for her people. She had created Blackwater because she wanted to make a world in her own vision where there was no suffering and no one could ever get hurt. However, a perfect utopian society that she had envisioned was not about to stay a reality.

## Throughout the Series

Ginger is the mayor to Blackwater and continues to be a leader to all her residents. David had been informed by his sister Alison that Ginger was not what she said she was and was a cunning leader whose deceitful nature entrapped the lives of her closest friends. However, David soon realized that things are not as bad as described to him.

Throughout the story, she tries to combat the stifling feud between her and the group deemed the Oilers who chose not the fit in within this society. She wishes that soon both sides could make an agreement preferably that the Oilers rejoin Blackwater. This merge she believes would establish peace back into the town of Blackwater.

## Relationships

### David

Upon first meeting David, she welcomed him formally to their town. At first David was skeptical of her because of what his sister Alison had said about her. However, after closer inspection he soon came to the realization that she wasn't the cunning leader that his sister had described her as. Instead, she was a leader who would put the needs of her residents first over her own. And that she was kind and not at all someone who would take their anger out on other people. From their first meeting, Ginger was excited to have a new resident to Blackwater after so long without the Sabazios sculpture which was the gateway to the real world and Blackwater. David was able to learn new things from her that could make him a better person. He respects the way that she runs her town and is even convinced enough to remain a permanent resident to Blackwater.

David thought she was the most beautiful person he had ever met but wanted to remain respectful of her boundaries. He thought that she was way too good for him and did not want to try and chase after a girl who was beyond his level. After the both of them had time to bond, eventually Ginger begins to flirt and tease him. David showed no interest in her attempts to get close with him. He was skeptical of why she would flirt with someone like him since she had better options. Soon the flirting became more intimate and David asked her if she actually did like him. Ginger stated that he was just really cute and that she liked to tease him. David eventually did harbor the same feelings as her but he wouldn't outwardly express it.

### Alison

From the moment that they first met, they never liked each other. Often having disagreements about the current system in place and creating salvation for the previously dead. Despite saving her life from a house fire, Alison never appreciated being taken away from her home and to leave her parents to die without her. She was also not made aware if her brother was alive either.

Alison eventually joins the Oilers, a group of rebels that do not wish to fit in within Blackwater and want to leave.

Based on what Alison's friends have told her, she believes that Ginger is an exploitative and cunning leader, Often not being able to take no for an answer and demanding others to do things for her. She holds people who don't want to be there by their own will and tells them that her way of life is how others should live.

Throughout Blackwater, Ginger has been shown to be a better person than she was back then and is making efforts to reverse the bad reputation she had with the Oilers. But despite this, Alison still holds onto her belief that Ginger will not change and is the same person she was years ago.

### Hilda

Hilda is incredibly loyal to Ginger and even sees her as a big role model within her life. Both of them are friendly towards the other and often invite the other to their parties. However, Ginger can sometimes not take her seriously believing that she is too young to understand the complexities in older adults.

### Abraham

Ginger finds his comedy sessions very humorous and enjoyable. They used to be romantically involved but are now separated.

### Jamshid

Ginger trusts him completely as he is her right-hand man and loyal servant.

### Thi

Thi is a personal bodyguard for Ginger when she travels outside of Blackwater.

### Sabazios

Unlike Alison's abusive alliance with Sabazios, Ginger's relationship with him is more tame. She thinks of him as a useful asset in helping residents whenever they need him and for her own affairs as well. He brings her things, does her chores, and fulfills any task asked of him. He respects her deeply in her endeavors and would side with her over the Oilers.

### Victor

Victor has a huge crush on Ginger but she is usually uncomfortable around him. He would often send her notes via his carrier raven but she would often shred them without reading them. At first she considered forming a relationship with him since he was interested, however, his cocky egomaniac nature made Ginger reject him.
