Hello, everyone! I'm Aspen, and I'm finally getting over my stalking ways and joining the fun new here. I bring you Glory Davis, an Eight of Diamonds who was born and raised in the Deck. Her mother and father were both Twos, well-meaning people who were quite content to avoid jockeying for position, but their daughter was something else. In her youth Glory was ambitious, driven, and dedicated, and she climbed steadily from Two to Eight with no indication that she'd stop before getting to the top.
Aaaand then she did stop, for reasons she does not discuss with anyone, and she's remained firmly ensconced as an Eight for decades since. She's 70 now, and shows no signs of slowing down or softening much with age. She's got a sweet nature and will gladly listen to people's troubles and offer them advice, but there's a deep-seated pragmatic streak in her, too, and she's not the type to coddle people.
As for her ambition, well, she still has it -- only she's shifted gears, and instead of climbing herself, she focuses on pulling strings and calling in favors to help other people climb. She has decades of experience in Deck politics and many friends and people who owe her favors, and she'll be glad to put those things to work for people she likes. And, naturally, she'll expect that favor to be repaid someday. Glory may not have made it to the top like she once planned, but she's discovered that having friends in high places can be every bit as satisfying.
Um yes and. Hello, and happy to be here! And, well. From a metagame/ooc perspective, I have obviously NOT been in the Deck from the beginning, sooo anybody who wants to work out past and/or potential connections with Glory and/or catch me up on things that might be useful for she and I to know, I would be deeply grateful!
