DCI Abigail Irene Garrett
In appearance, DCI Garrett is a well-dressed woman in her mid forties, her
blond hair greying and her hazel eyes beginning to crinkle at the
corners. Her nose is aquiline, her lips thin: she was an extremely
attractive woman in her youth, but she has not remained pretty as she
aged. Rather, her features have become aristocratic and a bit
cold. Perhaps it's the unpleasant knowledge brought by her duties that
has
hardened her. She's thin, angular, and slightly above average height, and
she dresses well for her job, in conservative, expensive walking
suits. She habitually carries her sorcerer's tools in a dark blue velvet
carpetbag.
The law has been her whole career. A younger daughter of a noble house
who
never married, she nonetheless had one or two notorious affairs of the
heart when she was younger and more prone to dramatic outbursts. Her
passionate nature has not lessened with age, but she's learned to rein it
in.
She has refused promotion beyond her current rank, having little interest
in administration, and little ambition beyond the apprehension of
criminals. Rumors abound of the dark secret in her past that has left her
so driven: the murder of a lover or a relative, perhaps? She's seen by
the
men she commands as perhaps a bit inhuman, and certainly more than a bit
brittle.
She makes up her lack of personal skills, however, with a brilliant and
incisive mind, and excellent skills in her chosen field - forensic
detention, both sorcerous and through the simpler auspices of careful
observation.
