CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Name: Gwenyver Dela Lachlan
Name Meaning: Lady of the Lake
Nicknames: Gwen, that is all. Most people don't call her that that much though.
Age: 17
Birthday: March 18
Zodiac: A dreaming Pisces
Theme Song: Only In Dreams - Weezer
Hair: Gwenyver has black hair but it is almost a dark gray color because it is a rather light black. Her
hair is thick, but shiny and smooth. Her hair is thinner towards the bottom and curves in towards her neck at the
tips as well. Her hair is somewhat short, just barely reaching her shoulders. Gwen also has rather long thick bangs
that just barely graze her eyelashes.
Eyes: Gwenyver has beautiful navy blue eyes. They are somewhat small and oval-shaped.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 135 lbs
Body Shape: Gwen is a nice medium height and has a nicely shaped body. She is pretty curvy, and her bust
does look the least bit too big to be proportional to her frame. Her hips are a little large as well, but not enough
to balance out her chest.
Clothing: Gwenyver loves to wear sleek and straight dresses with mid-thigh length skirts and no sleeves.
She also likes her dresses to have nicely hemmed and sometimes low V-necks. She likes her dresses to be dark gray,
blue, or red colors.
Other: Gwenyver has a milky white complexion and never tans, burn sets in after only an hour in the sun..
Overall Appearance: Gwenyver is very lovely and may hold a shy or stand-offish posture at times, but many
people are somewhat attracted to her by looks alone. Once they get to know her though, people like her even more
for her sweet and sympathetic demeanor.
Personality: Gwenyver is very sweet and a quiet and obedient servant. She has many good points that many
people are attracted to. Gwenyver is very serious and dedicated, not only when it comes to her work, but also in
matters of relationships of all kinds and just in general. Gwenyver is also very sympathetic and compassionate
and is always there as a shoulder to cry on if someone is going through a hard time, she's really one to give "the
shirt off her back" to someone in need, which can turn out as a disadvantage to her because she's not at all
wealthy in the first place. Gwenyver is also very artistic and creative and likes to spend time making up stories(though
she cannot read or write) and imagining that she is a wealthy noblewoman.
Though a likable person overall, Gwenyver also has some bad points, many of which are quite typical of Pisces. For one she is very sensitive and may cry at the drop of a hat or take many things personally. Also, she is very impressionable, and can be heavily influenced by those around her, so its best that she is surrounded by kind and caring people more often than not. Gwen can also be very shy and reclusive, making her very unlikely to be the first to initiate a conversation with a new person. She likes to spend a lot of her time alone but when she is doing her job she waits for her orders quietly. Her most apparent bad point is her anxiousness and restlessness, many things can get on her nerves and she often wishes she could do something other than wait on nobles all day.
Overall Gwenyver is a very likable person if a bit emotional. She can be very quiet with people she doesn't
know, but is very open and has a lot of fun with those she's very close to. There are a lot of people that tend
to tell Gwen their problems. Not to receive advice, but just because she is so compassionate and doesn't judge
people quickly and jump to conclusions about them.
Strengths: Gwenyver is very compassionate and creative. She is never judgemental of others and will always
feel sorry for those in pain even if its their own fault. She is also a good baker, especially when it comes to
desserts. She is a quick learner, which goes along with her being so impressionable, but she doesn't often get
the chance ot learn new things being a servant.
Weaknesses: She has a hard time getting to know new people and is not the most intelligent person in the
world. While she can learn things quickly, Gwenyver can also forget things in a short period of time as well. Also,
though she'll let others spill their hearts out to her without knowing them that well, it takes some time before
she's willing to share her feelings with others.
Likes: Gwenyver really loves roses and fantasy books(when someone will read them to her). Not to mention
all kinds of fables. She also enjoys the baking that she sometimes gets to do (and eating the results of that baking
^_^). She also loves wondering around the castle at night and watching the moons and beautiful blue sun
Dislikes: Gwenyver can't stand very noisy places and very nosy people. She dislikes having her affairs meddled
in and would rather help other people with their problems than have them help her with hers. Strangely enough,
she doesn't like to be pointed out when she does good work. (which usually works out just fine) She really just
wants to be kept out of the spotlight and left to lead a normal life.
Hobbies: Gwenyver really loves to watch the moons and will also sit and watch the sunset and sunrise when
she has time. She is, of course, a very good housekeeper and a fair cook, and she doesn't mind cooking and thoroughly
enjoys baking. She also loves to hear other people tell stories and read books.
Dream/Aspiration: Gwen would really like to get married some day and have about two children and a little
dog. She would like to live by the ocean somewhere, perhaps in Marland.
Favorite Gemstone: Moonstone
Favorite Color: Crimson red
Favorite Food: Gwenyver really loves fresh baked breads, especially raisin bread. She also likes carrots
a lot.
Least Favorite Food: Gwen can't stand any kind of lamb/sheep meat (Lamb chops, etc.)
Social Status: Gwen is neither very popular nor a loner. Many people like her and are nice to her more or
less, but there are only a few people that really know her. Since she is a servant, her social rank is on the very
low end and she is very poor.

on looks alone, and she'd very much like to get to know him better.

He has pitch black hair that is in a little bowl cut and is remarkably tangle free. He also has round hazel eyes.
Gwen often ends up being the one taking care of him while her parents are hard at work, but with the nobles coming,
who knows how much attention she'll be able to give him.

History: Gwenyver's father is from Marland and her mother from Roldan. Her mother came from a line of chefs
for the royal family and she started working in the kitchens when she was 15. Gwen's father was born in Marland
to a poor family. His family moved to Roldan in search of jobs and they all ended up working in the castle. Her
mother and father met a bit later, got married in a simple ceremony and soon had their first child, Gwenyver and
decided to give her a name meaning "Lady." She was a very happy and well-behaved child. Her parents were
often busy with their work in the castle, especially as Gwen got older, so she quickly became accustomed to spending
a lot of time alone and grew to like it quite a bit.
While Gwenyver was growing up, she spent a lot of time on the large balconies watching the moons and sun either alone or with the children of other servants until she was old enough to work in the castle. It was during this time that she met her best friend Felicia. Felicia and her family had just moved into the castle that Gwen grew up in and they were both about eight years old. Felicia had been wondering around the castle one day, peeking into rooms and not really paying attention to where she was going. Needless to say, Felicia got lost among the servant's wing for quite some time until Gwen found her. When Gwen, who was very familiar with the castle by that time, showed up, she and Felicia became instant friends as young people do.
When Gwen was about thirteen, she was almost old enough to start a "full-time" job as a servant. Her mother had been training her in in cooking for and serving the royals and her father was helping her learn how to exercise good manners when associating with the nobles. One day, while she was in the kitchen with her mother, Ayanna asked her daughter to fetch a book from the library that had a recipe in it that she needed. When she entered the library, she saw a group of nobles and heard a young boy singing. He was a very good singer, but he sounded somewhat sad. She watched the little boy, making sure not to catch the nobles attention. When they left and the boy stopped singing, Gwen found the book she needed and was about to head back to the kitchens when she heard a noise like someone was crying. She looked back to the large, empty library and saw that it was the singing boy who was crying. She went and asked him why he was so sad. The boy proceeded to wail even louder and Gwen hugged him shyly and said, "It's okay. What's wrong?" The boy, wiping tears from his eyes, told Gwen that his mother had died in her sleep and that he missed her very much. Gwen plucked a yellow rose from a bunch she was taking to one of the nobles and gave it to the boy. "Yellow roses mean friendship, and you should always think of your friends when you feel sad or lonely." The boy took the rose and thanked Gwenyver and they parted ways smiling. Ever since then, Tristram has had a little bit of a crush on Gwenyver.
When she turned fourteen, it was time for her to begin her job of cleaning around the castle and serving the nobles their meals and such. She never minded her job much, but the year turned hectic when her baby brother was born. He was rather fussy as a baby and took quite a toll on his mother's energy and she became perhaps just a bit more irritable with the burden of caring for a child and cooking for the royal family and other local nobles. Luckily, Gwen was not too over-worked at the time and made up for her parent's busy schedules by spoiling Felix terribly. She helped him learn to be less fussy and more quiet over the next two years and they also became quite close.
Now, Gwen has been 17 for a few months and has heard lots of gossip about all of the nobles coming to the castle. She thinks it will be very exciting and glamorous but incredibly nerve-wracking as well. She was a bit shocked when she found out she was assigned to help make sure she gets the female nobles everything they need. She feels like she's under quite a bit of pressure at the moment but secretly looks forward to hearing lots of gossip and romantic stories of the rich and prestigious. She also kind of hopes to have a romantic story of her own. She did notice a very handsome servant who happened to be assigned to helping the male nobles recently. Maybe this event will turn out to be a turning point in Gwenyver's rather mundane life.
