Gucci Garantine is a vassal and political attache to House Brightline of Stel Kesh. She and House Brightline have ties to the “reformist” (read: terrorist) organization HORIZON. Rivals with Clementine Kesh. Her mech is the Transgress Oblige.

She is idealistic, clever and rich.

Appearance

She is a Black woman who has vitiligo, and is likened to the model Amy Deanna.

As her alter ego Saint Dawn, she hides her identity with metallic, golden face paint forming a “major sector” geometrical pattern on her face, covering her eyes, forehead, and cheeks.[1]

In her first appearance ("SHORESIDE RECOVERY - DINNERDATE") she's wearing a black, form-fitting synthetic fabric suit with red piping and a golden necklace that doesn’t clasp around the front, but hangs around the back of her neck. Her hair is in a natural pompadour that curves to the side, with cornrows, and decorated with a fancy barrette.

At the funeral in "A Palace During a Wake", she has on a red dress with very wide puffy shoulders. It's shaped like a triangle or a pizza slice.

In "HOUNDs Pt 2", she is described as wearing a "beat to shit" dress uniform.

History and Involvement

Gucci grew up wealthy. She attended the Nideo school Artwright (as did Veronique, after Gucci graduated). She also grew up with Clementine, although Gucci is a year or two older.

Gucci interfered with the Rapid Evening's attempt to recover the body of Past (as Saint Dawn) by attempting to kidnap the scientist Cardiff Reach. She later hired SBBR to steal information on Past's crash from a Palace facility in Orzen and participated in the theft.

Valence invited her to the conference that established Millennium Break, and Gucci and her HORIZON crew agreed to join. She quickly became an influential figure and was involved with organizational efforts for various operations. She was injured during the conflict in Vigil City over the Equiaxed commune. After Millennium Break took Cruciat, she and Apparatus Aperitif led diplomatic talks with the Isles of Logos, and her side of Millennium Break, which was in favor of a slower, ideological campaign, emerged as the Party of the Masque.

After "Operation: Shackled Sun", the Party of the Masque appeared to have waned more or less completely. As of "HOUNDs" Pt. 1 and 2, she had abandoned her identity as Saint Dawn and was simply a Millennium Break commander, "albeit through gritted teeth". PALISADE saw her becoming the commander of Millennium Break's operations against the Principality's occupation of Palisade.

Relationships

Clementine Kesh

She and Clementine grew up together doing rich people sports and continued to be friends as adults. They were mechanically rivals in PARTIZAN, and initially suspicious of each other due to their separate clandestine activities.

Onboard Icebreaker Prime, Gucci was at least a little sympathetic to Clem, but it was complicated.

They encountered each other again during "Operation: Shackled Sun". Gucci directde Millennium Break's forces from the Reflecting Pool and the two engaged in petty sniping (offscreen).

Broun

Broun considered themself to be exploiting Gucci by charging her for repairs on HORIZON mechs without going through the Scrivener's Guild, but she didn't seem to have noticed. She trusted them to keep information on her HORIZON activities quiet.

Bond (Kingdom)

  • Broun knows how to get things done and I know what they want in return. But there’s a difference between service and loyalty, and I don’t know when or where they’ll draw that line.
