Gisa Cohen

Overview

      A long-wandering Dawn, Gisa Cohen has been a low-key member of the Freehold since it was founded. She went back to Israel for the High Holidays, and spent a little longer there than she expected to, returning only on the eve of Passover 5777. Rumor has it that she's been back from Arcadia for over half a century, maybe even closer to a century -- but if that's the case, then she hasn't aged a day that whole time.

      Since returning to Tamarack Falls, she's bought a small shop space and transformed it into a Jewish bookstore and a hangout for the Freehold's Lost. The golem has also formed a motley with like-minded individuals, joined the Custodians, and is patiently waiting to finish her apprenticeship as a Wayperson.

RP Hooks

  • Books & Judaica - Gisa owns Tamarack Falls Jewish Books, with a private reading room for Freehold-pledged individuals. The Space Communists run the bookstore as a whole, but Gisa owns it.
  • Judaism - Goylomim protect the Jewish people. This golem studies Torah, too.
  • Pledgesmith ••• - Want your pledge looked over by someone who considers a page of Talmud her light daily reading? Gisa can look for loopholes and ambiguous wording.
  • Custodian - Gisa is one of these.
  • Well-Traveled - With nearly ninety years of walking the world post-Durance, Gisa may well have crossed paths with just about anyone.
  • Fame: It's unusual for there to be an overtly Religious Changeling, but...
  • Dawn Influence 2

Standing on the parted shores of history
we still believe what we were taught
before ever we stood at Sinai's foot;
that wherever we go, it is eternally Egypt,
that there is a better place, a promised land;
that the winding way to that promise
passes through the wilderness.
That there is no way to get from here to there
except by joining hands, marching
together.

  • Damion - Flatterer.
  • November - Very pretty. Not actually G-d.
  • Logan - The Golden Boy.

Soundtrack

Gad Elbaz & Nissim - Hashem Melech
Shtar - So Decide (Pesach Song)

Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat

I’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fire

Florence + The Machine - Only If For A Night

And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light

Matisyahu - One Day

Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it´ll all turn around
