Name: Gwynwwyn
Age: 18
Gender: female
Role/rank: daughter of minor holder
Origin: family holding in Benden Hold area
Appearance: Gwyn stands about 5'6" with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. Though she's slender, her face is softly rounded, and her smiles tend to be small and lopsided.
Personality: You're an idiot. Don't take it personally though... In Gwyn's eyes, pretty much everyone is an idiot. She has a habit of finding a way of doing things that perfectly suits her, loves the simple logic behind her way... but anyone who deviates from this is viewed as an absolute moron. If you have a way that actually is better than hers, she's not afraid to sincerely apologise, and attempt to learn. If you manage to do something 'stupid', though, don't fret. She'll grumble and fuss about whatever it is, while 'fixing' it her way (if possible). However, those who know her understand that this is due to her being very dedicated. If it didn't matter to her, she wouldn't be so adamant about it, after all. No, she doesn't want to be the one in charge... she'd much rather just do her best to get the job done right.
Forging new friendships can be a bit of a challenge for her, as Gwyn prefers her own space and privacy. Befriend her, though, and you'll discover that she's extremely loyal, understanding, and thoughtful. Her sarcasm is free for anyone, though, and she's perfectly happy to share it along with her wit. Her humor is kinda bold, and some people have learned quickly not to drink hot klah around her, lest she make a witty remark.
Pros- thoughtful, loyal, understanding, dedicated
Cons- introvert, temperamental, sarcastic, fussy
History: Gwyn was raised as an only child by her father. He refuses still to tell her what happened to her mom. Still, despite her reclusive ways, she managed to make a few friends over the Turns. When they were playing, she was cautious but happy. If they were working together on anything, though... Well, she managed to lose a couple friends when heard her muttering and saw her changing things that they'd goofed up on. It didn't really bother her too much... to her, they were just unwilling to admit that they were wrong, and fix the problem.
She was 16 when word filtered through about the dragon illness. But, appalled as she was, there was nothing she could do about it. More immediate to her was the horror of her father trying to match her with a "suitable" husband. Gwyn, of course, didn't see any need to marry... she wasn't interested in being some idiot's good little wifey, having kids and cleaning up after them and him. So, any time her father invited anyone with a marriageable son over, Gwyn would deliberately ignore him as if he didn't exist. So far, the confused boys have not offered a proposal.
It was much to her surprise when, during a visit to Benden Hold to see relatives, a dragon flew in on Search, and made it clear that she was eligible to stand for the chance of Impressing. The dragons, as she knew, were dangerously few in number now, and it was of the greatest importance to save them. She didn't have any clue how she might help, other than by possibly Impressing one and making sure it lived. So she went, hoping to do exactly that.
Other: She likes wine, and isn't afraid to attempt to drink you under the table...
