Editing Gerhild (section)

== History ==
She was born Gabrielle in one of the worst neighbourhoods of Detroit, [[United States of America|USA]], in extreme poverty. She was attacked by goblins as a young girl, but ended up defeating them and making some kind of contact with extremely powerful goblin leadership of the area.<ref>“Yeh.  So here’s what’s what.  Bitch’s original name is Gabrielle.  From the asshole of Detroit, so poor you’d have more chance finding cash stuck to the shit on a hobo’s bootheel than going through her family’s wallets, y’know? [...] She grew up hard, not in the fun way, but in the other way that matters.  No friends, no help, no nothing, pretty much.  Her ma’s struggling just like she is, but her ma can at least fuck some shitbag to not be totally alone… [...] Goblins can go after people if they’re sure they can clean up the evidence, or leave it messy enough people can’t make heads or tails of it.  They went after her.  Pair of the little ones, like our nameless twist here.  She out-scrapped ‘em, and she wasn’t even old enough to have tits yet.  [...] So goblins in charge of the little shitters have to clean up the mess, or there’s gonna be some fuckin’ issues, yeah? [...] Scrap lasts a while, I hear, but it drags out long enough she manages to get the goblin boss in a compromising spot.  Surrounded by elemental metal by accident. But she can’t go and it can’t escape, so she’s there, while it talks at her, tries to break her with words.  But she’s been called all sorts of things and told all sorts of things, and she toughs it out. [...] And eventually she lets the boss goblin go, and the boss goblin goes to its boss, and she follows it.  And the goblin in charge of that part of Detroit… hooo." - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.7onrtmkk8mas Excerpt] from [[Poke 3]]</ref>

Within ten years she was a powerful [[Goblin Queen]], leading a small horde of [[Redcap|Redcaps]] and with three high-tier goblin lieutenants. From there she only grew more powerful and less human.<ref name=":2" />

She destroyed [[Maggie Holt]]'s hometown as a first test of her "bridges of bones" concept,<ref name=":3" /> wiping it off the map, followed by serious attacks on [[Port Hope]] and three smaller towns.<ref name=":1" />

A powerful Goblin Queen who is likely Gerhild has been recruiting "every goblin over a certain size" in some of the [[Ontario]] area, driving some goblins such as [[Bluntmunch]] underground.<ref>“A goblin queen, one of your types, that works mostly with goblins, she was getting started out, recruiting every goblin over a certain size.  I ran.  She’s only gotten bigger since.  If I get seen by her or her soldiers, they’d make me enlist or kill me.  Here, it’s close enough I still know my way around the local Warrens, but far enough away I’m not in her way.  I keep in touch with goblins from the Warrens who know enough to keep their mouths shut.”<br><br>“Do we need to worry about her?” Verona asked.  “One of the outside practitioners?”<br><br>Munch shook his head.  “If there was a chance, I’d be told and I’d be gone.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/06/30 Excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.7]]</ref>
