Gloria despised all dragons and made it her mission in life to destroy all the monsters she could.

When she was a young woman in college she fell in love with a wonderful man. He taught her many things, including chess. However, he also shared his gift of sight with her. At the time she learned his gift, she was several months pregnant with their child. When she turned her newly gifted eyes upon him, she saw the creature lurking within and was horrified. She killed him, but not before he ripped their unborn child from her womb and cursed her. She was not to kill anything ever again or it would somehow be taken back upon herself.
