The daughter of two prominent politicians in Argus, Gem sought a chance to prove herself. Joining the gladiator area, she and Pyrrha Nikos were in the same class, where they pushed each other to improve and be stronger. She also met a fellow that she calls “Golden Boy”. She has gotten in hot water with a leader of local underground elements for not throwing her fights, and so took up with the team, who put her in the lead.

For as long as there have been people, someone needs to watch and guide them. That person is Mariana (Mary) Bobbins. She has been meaning to find and ‘discuss’ Salem’s attitude change, and is rather put out by her “dreadful tantrum”.

No, we do not know why Qrow flirts with her, she has politely declined his invitations time and again.
