Species: Usul

Quote: "I hate getting lost!"

Gilly was a curious Usul even at an early age, but her adventures really began when she got lost one day in the Haunted Woods. While trying to find her way back to the path, Gilly stumbled across a crumbling old mansion tucked deep in the trees. A light shone in one of the upstairs windows, so Gilly thought perhaps she might ask for directions. She was eager to get out of the rain; it was a cold, miserable sort of rain that made her socks squelch. Yet when she knocked on the front door, it opened without a sound, revealing only a dusty, empty room. Gilly had entered The Castle of Eliv Thade...

Remarkably, Gilly's escape from the mansion took only one night, but her dreams thereafter were always haunted by a grim, angry voice demanding the answer to this anagram or that. Still, she went about her days with a sunny smile... until the night she heard The Tale of Woe. A village had fallen prey to an evil potion that turned the townsfolk into monsters. Desperate to save themselves, the townsfolk appealed to the Spirit of Slumber. He was able to stop the effects of the potion, but there was a cost: they would be cursed.

Gilly's disastrous sense of direction took her straight to Neovia, the cursed town mentioned by the tale. There she met Sophie the Swamp Witch, one of the few villagers who had escaped the curse. When Sophie drove her off, Gilly took shelter in the cave of Sophie's lost brother Bruno. After inadvertently reuniting the siblings, Gilly insisted on helping Sophie, who revealed the nature of the curse; the people of Neovia had vanished, and could only be seen as silent ghosts on Halloween night. Plucky as ever, Gilly helped Sophie and Bruno undo the curse and the effects of the potion, saving Neovia from a terrible fate.

Bruno, Sophie, and Gilly

These days, Gilly still wanders the overgrown trails of the Haunted Woods. She is looking for the clearing with the talking flowers that she found once, not to mention the house made of white chocolate, though she'd rather not meet its owner next time. Gilly's pretty certain that if she gets lost again, everything will work out. After all, it always has before...
