Gilda Dent

## Background

### 1973 - 1999: Gilda Gold

Gilda Gold was born in a prominent family inside of Gotham. Both of her parents were wealthy business consultants in different companies, bringing plenty of money & *gold* to their family. Because there was never much pressure for Gilda to get a real job, she decided to settle as a socialite. Her opinion would change when she began attending college & needed to pick a major. Thinking it would be easy, she majored in art history but soon found herself falling in love with the subject. Not only did she enjoy it, she was fairly skilled as an artist & sculptor.

Her work was so renowned that she was personally asked by Bruce Wayne to create some pieces for his house. At one of the many events for Gotham's elite, Bruce introduced the woman to Harvey Dent, his old friend & a prosecutor for the District Attorney's office. The two entered into a fast romance, getting married just a year later.

### 1999 - 2005: Gilda Dent

Gilda became pregnant shortly after the wedding & gave birth to their daughter Duela months later. The image of the perfect family helped Harvey stay in office as many viewed him as a family man living up to the "White Knight" persona he had been given. Gilda maintained her role as a dutiful wife & continued with her art in her free time.

Her daughter was four when Harvey was attacked in the courtroom. During cross-examination, the suspect Sal Maroni thew a vial of sulfuric acid on his face, horribly scarring the left side of his face. Gilda stood by his side through it all & came to visit him everyday, sometimes with their daughter & other times without. But it wasn't enough. Even after she recruited Bruce to spend some time with him, nothing helped. Harvey developed a second personality & became the crimelord known as Two Face.

Harvey mostly left her & Duela alone but they were ostracized by the community. She decided to lay low for the time being, only reaching out to family & close friends that she still trusted. Isolation with her daughter eventually led to Gilda having a psychotic break as well.

### 2005 - 2007: Holiday

Almost a year after Harvey transformed into Two Face, a serial killer called Holiday began murdering several prominent gangsters. All the murders were committed against people that Harvey had tried when he was either the ADA or DA. After the attempted assassination of Alberto Falcone, he admitted to the Holiday murders himself. Gilda assumed it was for the street cred so she destroyed the evidence of her crimes & tried to return back to her normal life.

### 2007 - Present: Holiday

While everyone was convinced Alberto was Holiday, the Calendar Man suspected otherwise & believed the real Holiday could have been female. Most ignored the conspiracy but when Holiday popped up again while Alberto was in jail, the police believed they caught the wrong guy or had a copycat on their hand. She continued committing the murders while neglecting her daughter until she was eventually confronted by none other than Two Face. Knowing that it was in fact his former wife, he cornered her. He then presented her with an option; if his coin landed on heads, she would turn herself in life & if it landed on tails, she continue her spree. But no matter what, their daughter was to be given a better life then they could offer. The next day, Gila turned herself in per Harvey's rule & Duela was taken in by Gilda's longtime friend Kirsten Nashton.

These days, Gilda is now resides at Arkham Asylum in their Intensive Treatment Center to receive help for her psychological issues.
