Griselda

Griselda (グリセルダ) was a supporting character during the Aincrad Arc. She was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in «Sword Art Online», the leader of the «Golden Apple» guild before its dissolution, and the wife of Grimlock both in-game and in the real world.

Real Life/Sword Art Online
Griselda was a young woman with brown hair. In Sword Art Online, she wore a white and green tunic with a chestguard, knee-length, brown shorts and leggings, and a cape with a hood. In battle, she wielded a long-sword and shield. In the real world, she wore a sweater.

Personality
Before coming to Sword Art Online, Griselda used to be a quiet and obedient, who never quarreled. However, when the death game began, she began to grow more independent, and even opposed Grimlock's decisions, such as creating a guild, and going off to train with her enlisted guildmates. According to Schmitt, Griselda was very fierce and determined. She was also extremely strict to injustice and craftiness.

Background
Around the beginning of Autumn 2023, Griselda and the other members of Golden Apple become embroiled in a dispute when they managed to acquire a rare agility-boosting ring from a rare lizard monster while hunting on the middle floors. After much heated debating over what to do with the item, Griselda, Grimlock, and three other members voted to sell the ring. When Caynz, one of the three members who voted in favor of keeping the drop, suggested Griselda to use the ring due to her being the strongest fighter among them, the guild leader simply stated she could not equip the item, as she was already wearing her guild leader's seal and her marriage ring, and it was impossible for a player to equip more than one ring per hand.

Since the ring was too valuable to be sold the merchants on the middle floors, Griselda left for a large city on the frontlines to leave it with an auctioneer, planning to stay there for the night to find a reliable auction house. However, unbeknownst to her, Grimlock, who had grown unnerved with her change in personality, had arranged for her death by subtly manipulated Schmitt into saving the location of her inn room on a Corridor Crystal. After falling asleep, she was teleported out of her room and killed by Laughing Coffin players at 01:00, leaving behind whatever items in her inventory were equipped on her, including her sword and rings.

A Murder Case in the Area
On April 23, 2024, after the mystery of Griselda's murder was solved, a manifestation of her emotional data saved by the Cardinal System appeared before Kirito and Asuna, thanking them for their assistance in revealing the mystery behind her death. The manifestation extended its right hand to them, seemingly wanting to give them something, filing them with a warm sensation upon touch. As both promised to clear the game, Griselda disappeared with a smile.
