**Griselda** is a young adult female Griffon from Griffinstone and Gigis best friend, roommate, and rival. She's also one of Grandpa Gruff's foster grandchildren. She works as a part-time assistant at the Griffinstone library, the Griffinstone Café, and Greedy's Spelunking Equipment Store, along with Gigi.

## Background

Griselda was born to Gemino and an unnamed Griffoness who left them shortly after her birth.

When Griselda was approximately 10-years-old, Gemino passed away alongside other Griffons during a series of events. Griselda barely had time to process her trauma, because she was whisked off to the town's care center established by Grandpa Gruff (her father's caretaker). Her time here wasn't exactly the best, not because she was treated poorly but because she wasn't in any position to interact with any of the other cubs or any visiting parents. Griselda would sit in the corner and play by herself with her stuffed giraffe, the only thing she'd left of her father.

It wasn't until one lucky day, when a Griffoness, Genji-Liú Gūan, came into the care center as part of a program to promote positive healing, ensure the well-being, and provide comfort for the cubs and adults, respectively, that were affected by the tragedy. At first, Griselda was reluctant to get acquainted with the Griffoness (or any other Griffon) she'd only seen from afar during playtime very few times, even with Gruff's encouragement. However, one such time, she noticed a shiny, highly-detailed mosaic portrait of a dragon out of the Griffoness' saddlebag and peered to get a closer look. This prompted the woman to introduce herself and offer to make a picture for the kid. Griselda, although closed up, accepted and watched as Genji-Liú made a portrait of Griselda's giraffe plush. She gave the picture to Griselda and gathered up her supplies because her appointment had ended.

The Griffoness returned a couple of weeks later with a variety of art supplies. Griselda was still very reluctant to interact with her but eventually gives in at Gruff's insistence. She spent a couple of hours with Genji-Liú and, through a particular conversation, learned that Genji-Liú actually understood her situation, as she was also orphaned at a young age and gained a family through Grandpa Gruff, the Griffon who raised her. This exchange played again and again in Griselda's mind throughout that whole night. Spending time with the Griffoness became a weekly occurrence, until 2 months after they fist met, Genji-Liú officially adopted Griselda.

## Relationships

### **Gemino**

Gemino was Griselda's father. As she was mostly raised by Grandpa Gruff and was relatively young when Gemino died, she only has brief memories of her father from when she was very young. However, it's shown that Gemino loved his daughter dearly and that the two shared a loving relationship.

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Grandpa Gruff is (along with numerous other Griffons) Griselda's caretaker and foster grandfather. She loves Grandpa Gruff, having been reared primarily by him, and admires him greatly, regarding him as her grandfather despite their lack of blood connection. During her cubhood, she is shown to often have tea party playtime with Gruff, Gigi, and Greedy. In the present day, he often makes her breakfast, which always puts her in a good mood.
