| first girl -- what is her role anyway? As first girl her behavior must at all times be above reproach. This does not mean that she is perfect or that she never disagrees with her Master. What it does mean is that she keeps differences with Him in private always. she must be as close to perfection as she can be, serving as an example for the rest of the chain. her service, her dances, her every word and movement should be designed to please and to honor her Master's kolar and the duty which He has entrusted to her as His first girl. she never, ever forgets that all she does is an extension of Him. Often she will and should know her Master better than any other slave on the chain; knowing almost always how He would react in any situation, what His wishes would be. Accordingly, she can direct and guide the rest of His chain. Her role is not in any way one of badgering, berating or belittling; but rather she should do all she can to truly help them become the best slaves they can be. It is not uncomon, where several girls are concerned, to put a woman over them. Men, do not care to direct us in our small tasks. They only wish to see that they are done. (Captive of Gor, pgs 267-268) a first girl of a chain or homestone acts as a liaison between the slaves of her Master's chain and her Master. This is not to say that sisters should feel they cannot go to their Master or Ubar, but rather it means that she handles the smaller things, the lesser things thus saving Him the aggravation of day to day minor problems or squabbles of slaves. I looked up at her. I realized then that she was first girl in the camp, and that I must obey her, that she had been empowered to set me tasks and duties. (Slavegirl of Gor, pg 66) first girl of a city or camp has the same basic duties as first girl of a chain, but it is also an expanded role. she must aid not only her own chain, but all the slaves in her home. she will assume this role quietly and with dignity. she should rely on the respect that she has earned over time in her home and among her peers rather than on being pushy and flaunting her authority. she should never forget that the position is hers on the whim of a Free and she could at anytime be replaced by one of her sisters. she should always be available to listen and advise her sisters, but this does not mean that she allows or encourages her sisters to be whiners or brats over every minor or imagined slight in her home. A good first girl will know when to give a hug or a soft kick in the butt to a sister. It is also the first girl's duty to take things to her Master or Ubar that He should know. This does not mean that she is a tattletail, but it does mean that she keeps Him informed when necessary. No slave regardless of her position may keep secrets from her Master. We respected her. We feared her. We did what she told us. Behind her lay the power of the men. Yet we did not much like her, for she was our surperior. We were pleased that she treated others with justice, not giving them advantages and privileges over ours. But we were angry that the same justice was meted out, in turn, to us. We were not given advantages and privileges over them! Surely I, at least, should have received some consideration, for I had known Ute for many months, and we had been friends. Yet she treated me no differently than the others girls. (Captive of Gor, pgs 289-290) One of her duties is to correct her sisters when she sees them breaking their Master's rules or the rules of their Home. All slaves, no matter how long they may have served, make mistakes or little oversights occasionally. she does this quietly, usually in private. her duty is to help her sisters, not to embarrass or make a scene. she should always be tactful and caring in her corrections. she strives not to show favoritism and will demand the same perfection from a long-time or close sister as she does of all the slaves. |
