Sin City Research: Character 8 - Gail

Gail

Gail is a character that had a cameo in the Hard Goodbye, (the first story released of Sin City) and became a larger part in The Big Fat Kill, becoming the main love interest for Dwight. She dresses in fishnets and bondage like leather with a dog collar on. Provocatively as she is dressed, she is a prostitute of Old Town, and a tough protector a bit like Miho, but not as memorable. Though her costume is unique, it makes her a memorable character despite not being able to remember its complex belt system.

Her personality seems to be classic tough-chick, attractive, dominant, demanding, in-charge, loud, and can combine humor with the right amount of kick ass. Again her incredibly explicit costume demeans her character, but that's how Sin City works.

I don't think shes a particularly inspirational character, but it at least provides the notion that no costume is too sexual for a character in Sin city.

"It's a very demanding role because she has to be many different things. She has to be obviously very sexy, very angry, and also quite a bit funny."
