She's a capitalist to the core, of the vulturous nature. Ulysses S Grant is president and, until the current administration, was considered the most corrupt one. So she and Dmitriy were there to scope out potential business opportunities.
America was in the process of joining the industrial revolution, having just ended a vicious civil war, and Gabrielle's got wealth enough to buy into it. But then she senses a young Naval officer is another Blood Angel and she changes focus, completely.
She goes after the guy even though the Oiym specifically demands she not. She refuses to be ordered about by them, which causes problems. The only reason she doesn't get him was due to unspecified circumstances before his ship departed for Korea.
She follows...but he gets killed there before she arrives. So she's all but forced to shift interest to Franz.
It's funny how I'm working so hard at writing this series of books. Polishing and pruning and adjusting my sentences and structure to make them as solid as possible.

That's when I know I'm done...usually...but I'm not at that point with BA-4 yet. Soon...but not yet.
