Have you ever played in an RPG at the Barrow Downs? – YES - Which one? In the footseps of the grey company

Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn or in The White Horse in Rohan? – YES Which one? Green dragon
1. For your character please include:

NAME: Gwen

AGE:19

RACE: man

GENDER: female

WEAPONS: What would you consider a sense of humor and smiles are her weapons of choice from the world at large. If it were to come to it she could just throw the currant book or sewing project at an attacker but that is unlikely as few even dare to approach her. Although she does keep a small dagger tucked in her belt at al times anyway, but it is used mainly for stabbing her food.

APPEARANCE: Normal, grey eyes, dark blond to almost brown hair. She tends to have the stance of someone pondering the world, which is closer to the truth. In all reality she is wondering when someone will come up and talk to her. She wears her hair out long as if it were a nuns habit(for terms used today) and she likes it that way.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: She is generally alone. People tend to ignore her; even in groups, when she has something to be said she says it along with many other things, but no one really pays any attention. Those who are her friends and charges find that the best of friend that can be found in an odd ball. She has a dark and sometimes sadistic sense of humor that she keeps at bay when in court or in most company. She only says what she truly thinks when she is around true friends or when someone is bothering her. She would rather be in a book than in real life and real life tends to agree with her on that. She does tend, however to like her work and she does it well. Her sad feelings are hidden behind smiles. She has had a detailed study of the ground, considering that is what she sees when she walks. And when she gets angry, really angry , she can hold it in till she is out of range of the perpetrators and then she will let the tears, words, and fists fly (many have remarked on this, some are even quite impressed).

HISTORY: Most of the time she has been alone and so when her parents could get her to go serve in the court as a lady in waiting( she can go either way just PM me and I will edit this) they were happy to be rid of her(after all how embarrassing is it for a well-to-do family to have a freak in the home). She has run off most sutures her parents found, they usually say that they would take no amount of money in the whole of Middle- Earth. And her brothers are quite mean to her. She does not miss her family all that much, but she loves to work where she does.

Annalaliath's post

Gwen stood behind the other ladies in waiting as they crowded about the court as their fine mistress enter the hall she stood watching as Denther's new bride-to -be walzed in to meet her future husband. This was all strange to her, the stone, the greyness, and weightiness. She wanted to be anywhere but here. She had brought a book with her that she kept hidden in a pocket of her white apron, it bummed against her leg lazily as she watched in the huddle that consisted of the ladies in waiting. As was usual she was being ignored, and she was thinking on what the world would be like if it were all under water. What would it be like if it all were taken by the ocean, she wondered. Then she thought, “ Then we would not be here and I would not be wearing this dress.

She looked down at herself and wondered at how she stuck out. A dark blue skirt, her own white blouse and her apron. The apron had the packets, she loved her pockets. She could keep her things in them, her books, her scraps of paper, and a bit of food saved from a meal. She likes to keep her dagger with her, a happy gift from her parents, tucked in her belt. She had no other use for it other than to eat with and that is what she did. All of this is what she thought as she watched the lady enter the court. She thought it amazing that she was thinking all this because of water.

One of the other ladies there bumped into her, she looked at the woman, who was looking at her. She must have looked peevish because at that moment she just laughed and turned away, “Ahhh, don’t worry, it was only Gwen.”

“Only Gwen,” Gwen mumbled, “Only Gwen! I do have feelings you know.” Then out of the pure shock of it she turned to the woman who had been so rude and simply said, “ I like to dissect things, especially rude people.” The woman looked quite perplexed as Gwen went back to watching her mistress and pondering her thoughts.
