Giselle Gleam

Giselle Gleam was the wife of Hans Gleam, sister-in-law of Jakob Gleam, and the mother of Oscar and Liesel Gleam. Her maiden name is unknown.

Break to Tragedy

When her then-fiancé and future brother-in-law had the argument that caused them to disown each other, Giselle accompanied Hans when he left for the Balinoks. The two got married and conceived their children while living in Teufeldorf, barely more than paupers in spite of Hans working constantly to provide for the family.

Tragically, it was her husband's work that would destroy what happiness the family had. Hans's research into the Bogeyman-legends caused those evil creatures to draw near. Giselle never believed her children when they tried to tell her about the monsters, believing them to have been frightened by Hans's telling of the legends. When children started to disappear in Teufeldorf and she saw her children become more and more scared, she did discuss a return to Ludendorf and a possible reconciliation between Hans and Jakob with her husband.

Sadly, the Bogeymen finally found a way to get at the children before the family could depart. Giselle was first to see the carnage wrought in the children's bedroom by the Scissorman, who had murdered poor, innocent Liesel. This, combined with the traumatised state of Oscar, broke Giselle's mind.

Current Sketch

Even though Hans finally moved the family back to Ludendorf, and Jakob rushed to his side to help care for him, Giselle's shattered sanity would not mend itself. She was confined in the Chateaufaux asylum, as was Oscar. In the current age, if Giselle is still alive, she is a Lost One who is usually kept under sedation. She will never leave the asylum.
