Giselle is a tall and broad, but not overly muscular, woman with fair skin, long orangish-red hair that's wavy at the ends and green eyes with blue undertones. She wears a tight black top with mid-length sleeves, flowy army green pants and black boots. She also has a silver necklace with a crown-shaped pendant and matching stud earrings.

Synopsis

Giselle is the mother of Jack and the wife of Milan Archer-Adams.

She met Milan at university while pursuing a degree in criminal justice. The two felt an immediate spark but didn’t rush their relationship. Giselle graduated a few years before Milan did and joined the Navy. She served her country while keeping in touch with her boyfriend, who always waited for her to return. But while facing the dangers of war overseas, Giselle never imagined that a threat was coming for Milan back in the US.

Shortly before she was set to go on leave, she got a call from Maaike telling her that Milan had been attacked. She wouldn't give Giselle any details over the phone, but the distress in her voice spurred Giselle to get released a few days earlier to return to LA. Once home, she learned the full details of what had happened to Milan. The things she thought about doing to the bastard who had hurt her little Mickey weren't for the faint of heart to hear. And while she never found out the rapist’s identity, she vowed to make him pay in either this life or the afterlife.

Giselle spent her leave taking care of Milan, making sure he ate, slept, and didn't hurt himself. She was also with him when he took a pregnancy test and held him as he cried over the positive results. She promised to support whatever decision he made and would hold his hand down the path he chose. When Milan decided to keep the baby, Giselle began looking for career opportunities that would allow her to remain closer to home, and eventually, she joined NCIS’s LA division.

After returning to LA permanently, she and Milan moved in together and welcomed Jack into the world. Even though the boy had no blood connection to her, Giselle loved him as her own. She changed him, fed him, bathed him, and calmed him down when he cried, no matter how late or tired she was. She was there to witness his first steps, his first lost tooth, his first day of school and many more firsts. And with each milestone Jack achieved, Giselle rewarded him with love and praise.

Even though they were already a family, Milan and Giselle chose to wait to get married. They got married when Jack was eight, and the boy was excited to watch his parents wed with their family and friends there to celebrate. The event was made even better when Giselle took time during the ceremony to promise herself to Jack as his mother and made an official offer to adopt him. Giselle will never forget how happy Jack was to hear that she would legally be his mother and the first picture they took together as a family after the ceremony is forever one of her favourites.

Like her husband, Giselle was so proud of Jack when she heard he had been offered a position at the Bureau. And while she wished he didn't have to move so far away, she would never have kept her son from pursuing his dreams. She made him promise to check in with her weekly, and despite his grumblings of her being a “helicopter mom,” he never missed a check-in. Though she knew he couldn't tell her everything about his missions due to confidentiality, he never hid any secrets from her and Milan… Or so they thought.

She debuted as a minor character in Call Me, Kill Me during the additional investigation. Adalet ran into Giselle when the woman took a break from trying to get Jack to open up to her. She asked the agent to find Milan for her since he wasn’t answering her calls, and while Adalet and Nathan did that, Giselle kept trying to get Jack to talk to her. Later, Milan finally texted her back and informed his wife that he was at their hotel. Giselle promised Jack that she would come back with his father soon, and she prayed that Milan would be able to get their son to open up.

And he did, in a roundabout way. Milan had always been nervous about giving Jack the letters ever since he wrote the first one. He put his heart and soul into writing those and was scared to tell Jack about his deepest secrets. Giselle was pleased that Jack didn't think differently about his father, but her happiness was soon ruined when her son told them about what had happened to him in Africa. They knew about Angela’s betrayal, but they didn't know about Lavinia.

Which added someone else to the list of people Giselle wished to hurt. Of course, she wouldn't be able to do anything to Lavinia until she found the bitch in the afterlife, but Giselle would travel to hell and back to protect her boys.

After Jack had calmed down, he also revealed that he had been shot while the team was in Alaska. Giselle was furious that Chief Ripley didn’t think it was necessary to inform her and Milan about Jack’s injury, and she made sure the woman knew her opinion on the matter. Giselle was well known in the Navy and NCIS for her ability to scare anyone into submission, and she didn’t hold back when confronting Ripley. She was happy that they came to an understanding about the Bureau’s notification policy and that Ripley would be making changes to ensure that agents’ next of kin would be notified about all injuries sustained while in the field.

Later, Giselle and Milan would say goodbye to Jack and his team as they continued their mission to take down SOMBRA. And take them down they did! Giselle and Milan were almost glued to their TV as they followed the news coverage of the President’s kidnapping and the Bureau trying to find him. They were terrified when the US declared war on Russia but held on to the hope that Jack and the Bureau would find Hewett and stop World War III before it could happen. They celebrated when the news announced that the Bureau had saved the President and discovered the Vice President’s allegiance to SOMBRA. They were also happy to be notified by Ingrid about Jack getting shot (again!) and video-called their son once he was free to check on him.

Then they watched the Bureau be awarded the UN Peace Prize and couldn't have been prouder of Jack and his team’s accomplishments. They cried with their son when he told them that his teammate, Dupont, had passed away. They had only met the historian briefly, but they knew he had a good heart and was a wonderful man. So when Aslan (whom they had heard about from Jack but had never met) contacted Giselle and Milan about going to New York for the funeral, they immediately agreed and packed their bags.

Giselle and Milan (mainly Milan) fussed over Jack and his injury when they were reunited before attending Dupont’s funeral. They and the rest of the Bureau’s families who had visited stayed for about two weeks before returning home. Giselle and Milan promised Jack that he could stay with them after they found out the Bureau was being disbanded and were excited to have their son back with them after spending so much time apart. And no matter what adventure Jack’s life would take him on next, Giselle and Milan would love and support him through it all.

Trivia

She is a combination of the Disney characters Kim Possible and Giselle Phillip
Her design is based on Kim Possible’s spy outfit
Her surname, Adams, comes from the actress who played Giselle in Enchanted and Disenchanted, Amy Adams
Her necklace was a gift from Jack when he was six. He got it for her because he thought she looked like a princess from his fairy tale book and claimed that "every princess needs a crown"
People assume Jack is Giselle's biological child, given how much he takes after her personality-wise. They only correct people when they need to know the truth, which is a rare occurrence
