Gwendolyn ap Gwydion
Gwen, full name
Gwendolyn ap Gwydion, was born on a small farm in wales. She has an older
brother and sister, both of which are perfect examples of what her parents
wanted in a child. Gwen on the other hand, is not. She has a bad case of wanderlust,
and loves to find new places, and go where she isn't allowed. In her youth
she would always run off and climb trees and do generally anything exept what
she was supposed to.
Her parents tried to discipline her, but it only made her more embittered
towards them. When she was 17 or so, she finally realized that she was never
going to be happy at home, and decided to leave. She knew her parents would
never let her, so she just grabbed some clothes and food and snuck out. Life
was hard on the road, but luckily, after about a month on her own, Gwen was
picked up by a group of performers and began to train as an acrobat. She had
quite a knack for it, and was soon an exellent tumbler. Unfortunately, the
leader of the troupe wanted to monopolize her talents and claimed that she
was indebted to him for the training that he gave her. Since it was within
his rights to charge her for his training (and she's rather gullible) she
stayed on with his troupe and made him buckets of money. Eventually she realized
that she would never be finished paying him back if he had anything to say
about it, and confronted him about it one night after a performance at an
inn. The situation nearly erupted into combat, but it was quickly defused
by a group of travelers staying the night. The troupe leader agreed to let
her go free, but expelled her from the troupe, and subsequently, her current
bunk. The travelers offered her a spot with them, and introduced themselves
as Milo, Fiona, and Bridget. Gwen accepted their invitation, and introduced
herself as well. They told her of their current quest to find a man named
Robert the Fox, and bring him to justice. She was ready for a change of pace,
and their cause sounded noble enough... Plus they seemed to be good people,
and its dangerous for a tiny halfling to walk the world alone. So she traveled
with them to the Isle of man, and was terrified of the big nasty dragon...
But thats another story.
Gwen is a short (even for a halfling) girl with light brown hair and blue eyes.. She isn't very tough or strong, but shes amazingly quick. Unfortunately, shes rather gullible, and is easily distracted. She's always ready to see new things, and go new places.
