Personality: She resents people who mock her appearance or her, so she has learned to be the meanest son of a gun. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Gaaki is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She got into the Spice Merchant business at a young age. Like her mother and her sister before her, after school she went straight into learning to become a Spice Merchant.
