Gisa Barrow

Gisa Barrow is Mare Barrow's younger sister. She was a talented seamstress apprentice until she lost her ability to sew when her hand got smashed by the butt of a Sentinel's gun, as punishment after she tried to steal from a Silver to help Mare pay for Kilorn's escape from conscription. Eventually Sara Skonos heals her hand, allowing her to sew again.

BiographyEdit

Gisa is the youngest in the Barrow family and the second daughter. With Gisa being the "perfect" child, Mare believed herself to be like a shadow to her younger sister. She could sew beautifully and had a talent for it, selling her own works to the Silvers in a shop inside the Hall of the Sun.

When Mare comes to her asking for help to escape conscription, Gisa didn’t hesitate in bringing her sister to the Hall of the Sun where Mare could hopefully snag some valuable things. The plan goes horribly awry when a riot breaks out and Silvers attack the Reds in the Hall after a broadcast talking about the Scarlet Guard. Trying to save Mare and Kilorn from conscription, amidst the chaos Gisa attempts to pickpocket a passing Silver. The Silver catches her and the consequence is Gisa's broken sewing hand, rendering her unable to sew anymore.
