Gilda

Gilda is a 10-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella. Being one of the smartest children after Emma, Norman, and Ray, Gilda is considered as one of Grace Field House's "good quality goods". A quiet but firm girl, she is brought into the escape plan alongside Don after the truth of the orphanage is revealed. After her success of escaping Grace Field alongside 14 other orphans, Gilda now seeks to find William Minerva, whom she and her team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons. Gilda is a young girl of average height with fair skin. She wears a big pair of circular-lensed glasses over her grey eyes. She has short, straight olive drab hair kept in a Chinese bob hairstyle. Like all the other children at the orphanage, she wears the standard uniform— a white shirt and skirt along with plain brown shoes. Her identification number, "65194", can be seen on the left side of her neck. In 2047, now at the age of 12, Gilda seems to have grown a lot in terms of height. She stopped wearing the standard uniform, instead adopting a long black skirt, a white-colored coat and a black shirt underneath. She also grew her hair out, and is often seen having it tied into a simple bun at the back with two locks of hair framing her face. In the live-action movie, Gilda's age is 15 instead of 10, thus she is assumingly taller and has the appearance of a teenager. Besides the change in age, the live-action version of Gilda still closely resembles her manga and anime counterparts. Gilda is a quiet, gentle, mature, and slightly introverted young girl. She is reliable and often helps around with chores around the House and plays with the younger orphans. She has a caring personality and gets along well with her siblings, especially Emma. Her consideration is further shown when she expressed concern for the other cattle children in the other plantations prior to their escape. She is also shown to intuitive, as she knew that Emma was hiding something during the planning of the escape. While she comes off as more docile and timid compared to Emma, she shows surprising displays of nerve when she and her friend's safety is in danger, such as when she lies to Krone to obscure what she's learned about the orphanage. She is also shown to be determined and brave, as she refuses to back off in their escape plan even after hearing that it could kill them. Gilda is also shown to be determined and stubborn in her choices, as she threatens Mister that she will blow up the shelter if he returns with neither of them alive from their journey to Goldy Pond. Gilda also assumes a maternal role to the group when they travel, for the most part staying behind to look after the children and take care of their home. She's very patient and understanding, but the risks Emma continues to put herself in annoys Gilda and she can be quite scary when confronting Emma about this.
