About.
She doesn't remember her death. She hardly remembers her life, which is perhaps all the same.
Like everyone else who doesn't die with sword in hand, and Germaine never wielded any other sword than her pen, she ended up in Niflheim when she died. The realm embraced her and, just like everyone else, she was welcomed by Hel, the goddess of the dishonoured dead.
And as she thinks she may have done in life, Germaine continued falling in love with women she couldn't have.
What she could have, however, was the job. Hel needed help with the organization of Niflheim, she needed someone with a keen eye and who was unafraid to speak her mind, but willing to take orders at the same time, and Germaine proved to be that perfect someone.
Besides, her pen for sword proved useful in this aspect.
And so, Germaine might not have the goddess the way she dreams of, in the grey swirls of her nightly rest, but no one works more closely along with her than she does, save perhaps her consort and Germaine knows, oh, she knows.
No one compares to the Winter God.

Personality.
Most easily, Germaine may be described by her work function.
As the secretary of Hel, the goddess of the dishonoured dead and queen over a realm defined by fog and some degree of ever-changing chaos, Germaine is the provider of order, structure and firm boundaries. She can come off as strict and even unfriendly, but more than anything it's professionalism, it's efficiency.
Germaine is focused on getting the job done. There are almost no lengths to which she won't go to see the Dead supported and cared for as she has felt herself supported and cared for in her afterlife. She is not afraid of speaking her mind and taking charge - just as she has no problem accepting the lead of others, if she deems them capable of taking it. She takes orders as well as she gives them, and executes them even better.
What more Germaine is than her work, she sometimes forgets. She remembers only fragments of her life and in general, she gets the feeling that her existence before coming to Niflheim was one-dimensional and dreary, as if her existence here wields more opportunities for free expression than before. Greater freedom. Yet, she must sometimes be pushed, coaxed and lured to take time off and enjoy herself.
Due to her feelings for Hel, she will as a rule not engage in romantic relationships with others, though this is less due to any actual hope that she will ever get together with the goddess than it's stubborn loyalty. One thing Germaine definitely does remember about her life before is that she never experienced a happy, reciprocated love and a part of her insists that she can't experience it in the afterlife either.
It is her main regret.
