While reading The Gilda Stories, as readers we see many different sides to the main character Gilda. We see her evolve as a vampire and how she copes with the new lifestyle. In the beginning she struggled a lot without Bird and longed to be with someone who loved her. When Bird left her she traveled the world for many years trying to figure out who she was. At some points she found herself in bad company with Eleanor but she had to find that out the hard way. For some reason Eleanor was almost irresistible to her, Sorel tried to warn her but she did not want to believe it. Until she final realized Eleanor's ways she knew she had to leave.
Towards the end of the book we see how Gilda has matured. When she meets Julius she found someone who was like her. He longed for a family and had nothing left in his life. All he wanted was companionship and Gilda had just the right solution. She changed Julius and made him one of the family. She and Bird now had a brother and it went very well. He adjusted to their lifestyle very easily and took advantage of it to travel. Then at the very end, one last time Gilda finds Effie, who again was like herself almost. She was about to commit suicide when Gilda wanted to save her, and offer her a better life with a family. Effie accepted, and then Gilda, Bird, Julius and Effie were a family. Throughout the story Gilda made good and bad decisions, but in the end she understood and grew more wise throughout the years.
