Giselle Sylvester

The Special One

Jizzy-Gis (to George Sylvester)

The Not-So-Special One (to Herr Wolfgang Bisch)

Deep Cover Agent

**Giselle Sylvester** (née **Maarschalkerweerd de Klotz**) is one of the first characters introduced in the *Belinda Blinked* books. She takes part in the job interview that is the subject of chapter 1, where Belinda joins the company. Over the course of the next few books, Giselle and Belinda form a special bond with the company receptionist Bella Ridley, and together they form a group known as the Glee Team.

She starts the series as the PA of the Managing Director Tony Sylvester, but in Book 3 she gets engaged to him, and shortly after gets promoted to the position of Key Account Manager for company's new Russian clients.

At the end of Book 4, she publicly reveals herself to be the Special One, the sinister spy for Bisch-Herstellung Enterprises who has been threatening to steal the plans to Steele's new product line since Book 3. In doing so, she rejects her married name and her friendship with Belinda and Bella. From that point on, Giselle becomes an antagonist in the series working for Herr Wolfgang Bisch.

Giselle reveals that she started working for Bisch to pay for her mother's medical bills, and the Glee Team forgive her immediately. In Book 6, she returns to Steele's Pots and Pans and plays the Wicked Stepmother in Christmas Porno 6. In the series finale she is poached by Belinda to work with her at Bisch-Herstellung alongside Bella.

## Appearance

Giselle has blonde hair and a curvaceous figure. While Belinda finds her sexually attractive, she is quick to point out that Giselle's breasts are not as good as her own. Giselle's breasts are great source of humour amongst fans of *Belinda Blinked* after they were described by Rocky as hanging "like pomegranates". This has since become one of the series' most iconic lines.

Giselle suffers from a "genital disease" (the reader can infer that Rocky meant 'congenital', however this has never been confirmed) which causes her hair to fall out when she has vigorous sex. As a result, she is partially bald throughout most of the series.

## Biography

### Background

Giselle has Dutch and Belgian heritage. She was born to a Flemish mother and presumably grew up in the Netherlands and Belgium. At some point before the start of Book One, she was hired by Herr Wolfgang Bisch to infiltrate Steele's Pots and Pans to gather and extract information on new products for Bisch to steal. She cryptically refers to family ties that she has with Bisch and his company. It is later revealed that she requires money to treat her mother, who suffers from conchakkutitus-detritus.

### Season One

Giselle is introduced as Tony's personal assistant at the end of the first chapter of Book One. Belinda has just accepted her job at Steele's Pots and Pans, whereupon Giselle enters and introduces herself by kissing Belinda on the lips. She promptly strips and begins having sex with Belinda on the office floor in front of Tony and Bill from Human Resources.

After a few weeks at Steele's, Belinda has another sexual encounter with Giselle inside the leather room adjacent to Tony's office. Tony joins them and soon Belinda is sidelined as devotes his attention to Giselle.

Giselle is one of several Steele's employees who attends the Asses and Donkeys Trust tombola. After Belinda returns from the maze, she discovers clumps of Giselle's hair have fallen out, due to an underlying condition exacerbated by a violent foursome between her and the McDonagh Brothers, elaborated on in Book Two. She is sold to Tony for £300.

### Season Two

Following Belinda's triumph at the maze, Tony rewards her and Giselle with two free passes for the Ritz Spa. Here, Giselle explains that the she was handcuffed to a four poster bed in a mansion garage, where the three McDonagh brothers began performing oral sex on her before fighting amongst themselves for Giselle's attention. She also reveals her "genital disease" on the condition that Belinda keeps this information from Tony.

Giselle later appears with a "modern" new hairstyle.

### Season Three

At some point during Belinda and Bella's trip to Texas, Giselle and Tony have become engaged. With help from Giselle and Hazel, Belinda organises a surprise hen party for her (when exactly she found time to do this is unknown), where Belinda reveals that Tony has decided to promote her to Key Account Manager Russian Interest. They decide to let a young virgin they dub 'Butch Cassidy the Sunburnt Kid' and 'Butch the Sunburnt Kid' alternately to have his first sexual encounter with Giselle, however Butch ultimately decides that he would rather sleep with Belinda.

An undisclosed amount of time later, Giselle - referred to throughout the chapter as "The Special One" - visits Herr Bisch in East Berlin for details of her assignment. Bisch pays her an initial instalment of €1,000,000 for her services and she decides to perform oral sex on him as thanks, however he ejaculates prematurely before she has the chance. The book ends on a cliffhanger with the identity of "The Special One" remaining a mystery.

### Season Four

Book Four opens with Giselle and Tony's wedding. Here, Belinda learns of the existence of a mole in Steele's from Helga, who reveals herself to be an FBI Agent with the Bureau's (nonexistent) European Division. Ignorant of the mole's identity, Belinda resolves to find them. She enlists the help of Tony, Sir James Godwin and Agent James Spooner to discover their identity and save the Tri-Oxy Brillo range.

Giselle meets Spooner while he is investigating Belinda's computer. The two travel to Cricklewood Pumping Station where Spooner interrogates Giselle and she rims him, much to the disgust of Jamie, who is forced to confront the harsh reality that his father knows about anal play.

Giselle later arrives at Steele's factory, where she meets Professor Slinz and participates in a massive orgy following Professor Slinz's display of his Tri-Oxy Brillo range. Following the orgy, she reveals herself to be The Special One, rejecting her married name and returning to her maiden name, abducting Slinz and escaping the factory. She later meets with Herr Bisch back in East Berlin and presents him with Slinz.

### Season 5

After kidnapping Professor Slinz and taking him to East Berlin, Giselle meets up with her dastardly accomplice, who is revealed to be George Sylvester, Tony's long-lost younger brother who reappeared at Giselle and Tony's wedding. George is also revealed to be behind the bombing of Steele's Pots and Pans at the end of Book 4.

Upon Herr Bisch's orders, Giselle and George torture Professor Slinz to get the Tri-Oxy Brillo secrets, in a dungeon 200 metres below Bisch's *schloss* (or castle). Giselle does this by lowering her vagina onto Slinz's face to suffocate him (a move which was dubbed 'vag-sphyxiation'). Unfortunately, she accidentally kills him in this manner, losing the Tri-Oxy plans. After buying herself and George some time by concocting a story about being sick and needing to quarantine themselves (a message which definitely hits different now), the two accomplices escape from the castle and flee to Australia, with Slinz's body. It is unclear what they did with his body after this point.

Giselle later tracks down Belinda and Bella, who have followed her to Australia, by disguising herself as a cameraperson on the prime-time TV show 'Cooking with Cosmo'. She and George, with the help of some black-ops they've hired and a Spanish backpacker called Quince, kidnap Belinda and Bella and lock them in the clink, with the intent of giving Belinda to Herr Bisch to escape his vengeance.

However, when Herr Bisch lands in Australia and George turns on her, Giselle abandons him and releases Belinda, Bella, and James Spooner (who had been caught in the meantime). She at last reveals to her former friends that the reason she betrayed them was to get the money to pay for treatment for her mother's medical condition, conchakkutitus-detritus. Belinda and Bella forgive her immediately. The four of them must then together fight off Herr Bisch, George Sylvester, and their hired goons.

### Season 6

Giselle appears in Australia, having left Bisch's side after the events of Book 5, at a restaurant where Belinda and Bella are dining. She expresses her remorse for her actions, and though Bella is hesitant she eventually warms up to her. Giselle then attends the Pots and Pan-Pacific Conference wearing a wig and using the name "Guinevere." Upon meeting businesswoman Trixie Forward there, her muff melts and she remembers why she got into the pots and pans business in the first place.

Later, Giselle returns to work at Steele's, and is confronted by George, who was in disguise as Giles Cottonsbirth to infiltrate the company and find his former partner. However, before he can kill her, Belinda and Bella step in front of Giselle to protect her and George is shot dead by Agent XYZ.

Giselle and Bella present Belinda to the cheering Steele's employees after her defeat of Bisch, strip her, and dub her the "Lioness of Cookware."
