Personality
Snarky and sarcastic, Gimbal shows no fear or favor on whom she sasses, including her partner Shutter, who she addresses by his first. She is adept in the use of film making equipment and is versed enough in the art of guerilla film making, though her mastery of human culture outside of this niche is rather spotty. She and Shutter share a penchant for finding themselves in trouble they must run away from. Although a firm believer in "discretion is the better part of valor," she does display moments where she shows combat skill and creative problem solving. She is a pragmatist in battle but a mad artist in any other scenario.
Gimbal shares a passive-aggressive rivalry with Charger, whom she was instrumental in capturing. She calls him "that magnemite" and often describes him dismissively. Outside their rivalry, they are known to get along well when sharing a common interest; frequently, this takes the form of Scout, a pidgey chick they've helped raise.
History
Shutter acquired Gimbal more or less by accident, having been purchased along with a discount gimbal on [Craigslist equivalent] shortly before his stint at the Geographic Society. Although they've had an immensely rough start, they've since developed a close (if vitriolic) bond. The two of them work closely with one another; they approach cinematography the way other players take to Pokemon Battles. Over the years, she and her partner have survived the many rigors of the wild, often getting into all manner of odd situations while on assignment.
