Gimka

Gimka was a highborn Foreckaw who was in a position of authority within the Soaring Generation. She was the wife of Guufu, and was very capable in her primary job of being a nightwatch.

## Appearance and Personality

Gimka had the standard Green skin, two antennae, and Purple eyes of the Foreckaw. She had long purple hair held up in a ponytail, and a small scar on her left cheek. She was quite a bit more dressed than the average Foreckaw was, sporting a black headband, a tight cropped top, and some fitting Human-styled pants. She was somewhat tall and had a very toned, but slender body.

Gimka was very well spoken beyond a normal Foreckaw highborn, and much like Gohst, only had an issue with shedding her first-person speech. She was very intelligent, and compassionate, and dedicated making the Soaring Generation prosper. She carried a very silky and natural tone to her speech. She was blunt, forceful, and threatening when the situation called for it, and was highly suspicious and on-guard around new situations. She appeared to hold Humans and Human culture in very high regard.

## Story

Gimka was one of the highborn which first delved into the trove of ancient Pulsekaw tomes found beneath the Foreckaw's old capital. This discovery drastically improved the overall literacy of Gunhalmeir.

Some years after the discovery, Gimka was a vocal critic of the Third Generation's tradition of stealing Human children to integrate them into Foreckaw society. She particularly disliked the child's cries for their mothers after they had arrived, and was a very persuasive voice in the movement. At some point during this tension, Wisest claimed to be the product of the Foreckaw's ancient objective, and convinced many to follow her and create the Soaring Generation. Gimka was among those who defected.

Soon after leaving Gunhalmeir, in the journey to discover the foundation for a new village, the Soaring Generation was attacked by a group of Humans lead by Monstrous. Foreckaw lives and tomes were lost in the attack, but Gimka managed to escape. After the Soaring Village's location was decided, Gimka likely helped in its hasty construction, while simultaneously keeping the surrounding areas clear of threats. After the village was properly established, she was left trusted to keep watch over the longhouse, to ensure no threats approached the village, and also to keep lowborn Foreckaw from accessing the tomes Wisest had smuggled out of Gunhalmeir.

As Wonder was wandering around the village getting her bearings, she met Gimka standing guard as usual. They spoke briefly about the abhorrent traditions of the old Generations, before Gimka let Wonder part with a warning about staying out of the longhouse. Gimka thought about questioning Wonder on the open wound on her chest, but decided against it.

When Wonder was sneaking around past sundown, Gimka was the only Foreckaw still awake to see her. Gimka decided to repay Wonder's prying with her own, and finally ask about the wound. Wonder lied through her teeth, not wanting to divulge any information to such a strange and Humanlike breed of Foreckaw, and claimed a Faerie saved her from death, when in reality it was the Mint Garden. As Gimka was about to question her further, Wonder appealed to Gimka's admiration of the Human culture, and advised her that she would need to trade the contents of the longhouse before Wonder would reveal any more. Knowing that wasn't going to happen, Wonder turned to leave. Gimka thought aloud about Wonder's potential involvement with Feyule in the death of Giida. The mere mention of Feyule's name in such an uncertain moment compelled Wonder to impulsively decide to sneak out of the Foreckaw village.

Gimka, seeing Wonder fully gear herself and slip out of the village, silently followed her. As Wonder was daydreaming about long-past memories, Gimka confronted the Human. She was appalled that Wonder would leave Feyule so suddenly, despite the Pulsekaw's despair and longing to see Wonder once more. Before Gimka could finish her thoughts of disdain, a Canickaw leapt from the bushes behind her and severed her throat with its claws.

As Gimka's eyes locked onto Wonder in her final moments, she sent a Pulse Vision which would implicate the Human in her death. The Canickaw assassin then shoved her body into the river, and set its sights on Wonder in a zealous fervor.
