A. Gallowglass

Agent A. Gallowglass, called "Glass" (don't discuss the "A.") is an Assassin Agent with the Department of Mary Sues, in the Pirates of the Caribbean division.

Appearance
Glass, a female human, is somewhere in her early twenties, though unsure of her true age due to the amount of time she has spent in 'Sue limbo during missions. She is tall and rangy, with light brown skin, short, scruffy brown hair, and brown eyes. Glass is sharp-faced and animated, as well as boyish-looking to the point of androgyny, a fact she uses to her advantage, spending most of her missions as a male.

She primarily wears dusty, black clothing, usually loose jumpsuits or long-sleeved shirts and trousers. Glass will seldom be seen without a knife or a longer blade somewhere on her person, though her favorite personal weapon is a dirk.

Personality
As erratic as most Agents, Glass is not an entirely sensible person, despite her best efforts. Obsessive to the point of fanaticism about grammar and spelling, she would probably have requested assignment to the Department of Technical Errors, had she been recruited to the PPC after its formation. She is slightly distractable, over-fond of bladed weaponry, and very protective of her favorite characters--overall, typical PPC material. She is a geek.

Though generally cheerful and sarcastic, Glass has had problems with depression. She has an abandonment complex that shows through during missions occasionally, but refuses to speak to anyone about the reasons behind it.

Employment History
Glass joined the PPC sometime before 2003, but the precise details of her recruitment are fuzzy, as she spent the first several years in the Department of Mary Sues' Miscellaneous English Classics continua, nearly entirely independently. She had no partner and little to no contact with anyone in HQ. She was cited and removed from that position for physically assaulting canon characters early in 2002 and spent a period of time in Medical. Since September 2003, however, she has been in the Pirates of the Caribbean continuum, partnered with Agent Lena Montrose in RC #23.

Glass and Lena have completed one mission, though the report on it is currently being re-archived. Glass also participated in a PPC MST project. Glass and Lena's second project is ongoing, as they seem to be particularly vulnerable to the vagrancies of 'Sue-time. In fic-time they have been inside the story for only a day, but in HST it has been well over a year.

Quirks
Glass is destructively inept with any machinery more complicated than a stapler (which means her partner takes care of most of the PPC gadgets), but very good with knots. Since most of her experience is with pre- and early-Industrialisation Europe, she never really developed a feel for technology outstripping the sailing ship or compass. Glass has, however, learned which buttons to press on a portable CD player, for her own protection from 'Sue-song.

She has phobias of dead fish and puns, can swim very well, carries a little notebook around with her at all times to make note of canon violations, and is fond of singing.
