Gest was raised in an orphanage by Isadora Slaamp, somewhere in a small town just outside of Wisteria Vale. She had a great upbringing and doesn't consider it to be traumatic at all, but maybe idolises Slaamp a bit too much.

Slaamp doesn't remember what colour Gest was when she was dropped off at Periwinkle. She arrived two days before Tack, her Firbolg “little brother”, and a week before Mairéad, her water Genasi “little sister”. She was dropped off in the rain giggling and playing with with a little coiled plait of leather wrapped around her wrist (who gave that to a baby!).

For all of her love of learning, Slaamp can’t spell for shit, so she named her Gest Ranecord. Gest still wears the cord somewhere campaign appropriate - choker, wrapped around a dagger, knotted on belt etc. Tack, Mairéad and Gest all attended the Binbeal Academy of the Arts (in the heart of Wisteria Vale) and have now graduated. They formed a little Robin Hood Leverage-style party over the years, pulling off jobs on their privileged co-students and corrupt faculty, but this was all wound up with graduation.

Mairéad and Tack were in the College of Whispers and already have post graduation jobs lined up with a local whispers guild. Tack has also done some digging into his history and has found out his lineage probably comes from Green, so he's fucking off there a lot. Mairéad knows she's probably from Blue, but like Gest she doesn't really care.

Gest has tried six Colleges, cannot stick to one thing, and has no job lined up. She started in Whispers with her siblings, but was too loud for it. She then moved to Valor, but felt like people were too boastful without real talent. She switched to Lore, but couldn't sit still long enough to study. Moved on to Swords, but didn't like having her hands full with weapons all the time. Next she switched to Eloquence, but she swore too much. She finally ended her studies in the College of Dance, which was introduced last year.

Gest has a pseudodragon familiar named Vokhech/Vok. Vok, like a cat, kind of claimed her one night whilst she was wandering the Binbeal library. He has made his little lairs everywhere she goes. In her locker he had a lair of little trinkets and shinies that she stole for him from her marks. He also has a particular fondness for random receipts.
