Name: Gwynonwen
Nicknames: Gwyn
Gender: Female
Age: Looks to be 16-18
Faction: Monster
Race: Kelpie
Natural Ability: Shapeshifting - Every Kelpie has the ability to lure prey into the depths, Gwynonwen's manifested itself first as shapeshifting. Gywn, like all other female Kelpies capable of shapeshifting, can shift from her true horse form into that of a young woman.
Racial Ability (If I'm allowed this too): Lure they have the ability to draw others to them.
Personality:
It's always the quiet ones-
Because she "hunts" by drawing beings in, she learned to conceal her emotions so that she would only show what others would like and what would draw them closer to her. This means that she will very rarely show her true emotions, but, if pushed far enough, will suddenly drop her guise and will show how she really feels.
That is MINE-
Gywn is possessive. Once she has something (or someone in her grasp), she is unlikely to let go until she loses interest.
Carnivore to the core-
Gywn does not hide the fact that she likes meat, with the exception of liver, and dislikes veggies, fruits, and grains. She does not really care if her meat is cooked or not as long as it is fresh. She absolutely will not touch rotting meat and packaged meats, like spam, she dislikes, but will eat in a pinch. As for sweets, she can handle a little bit, but not much.
Celtic by nature-
Because of regional influences, she speaks with a brogue and occasionally throws in a word or phrase in Scottish Gaelic. Most people would think she has a rather thick accent, but she does not notice it. She also tends to wear clothing with Celtic influences and knows many of the regional specialties.
Horse bias-
For some reason, she automatically likes any creatures that look fully equine. It doesn't matter what their actual breed is she'll try to strike up a conversation with them and will never look at them as if they are food, rather, she'll automatically look at them as kin. This bias does not extend to "half-equines" like hippocampi, centaurs, or hippogryphs.
Not a My Little Pony-
Calling her a My Little Pony is about the same as calling Dracula a Twilight vampire, at least it is in her mind. Basically, it is not a wise move, ever.
Out of touch-
Gywn has been by herself at the bottom of a lake for so long that she does not know most technology. This means that she does not use BooTube or Facespook, she has not seen a doombox, a Eii, or even a predator computer. That will change once she gets to Amityville Academy, but she's in for a bit of culture shock.
Curious-
Despite the fact that she's been isolated for a long time and is out of touch, Gwyn is extremely curious and will want to examine anything new she sees, to the point where she will probably wind up looking over quite a few people's shoulders.
Vindictive-
Gywn will always try to give back at least as good as she gets. Meaning if you cross her, you had better watch your back.
Surprisingly low maintenance-
Despite how her human form looks, she is very good at taking care of herself and is not very interested in filling her closet with the newest trends. Rather, as long as she likes what she is wearing (and looks good in it) she is happy.
Skills:
Gwyn is fairly good at sewing and embroidery (she makes and decorates all of her own clothes) and also knows how to cook a fair few traditional Scottish dishes.
Family:
Gywn does not like to talk about her family, so she will avoid the subject if at all possible.
Her mother: Serena
-Like Gywn, she is also a kelpie and is the one who taught her everything she knows. One day, when Gywn was little, she left in search of Gywn's father. Gywn has no clue as to her whereabouts.
Her Father: Unknown
-Gywn has never seen him or heard his name. She only knows that her mother left her in search of him.
(EX) Friends:
Balfour
-For a long time, he had been her friend and visited her by her lake.
-He betrayed by leading a group to her that wanted to kill her.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
The lake where Gwynonwen was a place where she'd never go hungry (there was plenty of food present), but for a long time no one had come there and she had not had anyone to talk to in a VERY long time. After growing extremely bored of this isolation, she set out and happened upon Amityville Academy. Upon arriving, she decided it would be interesting to stay here.
FEAR Ability:
CHARRRGE! (Gambler’s Chance type fear) - A simple and, usually, effective attack where Gwyn shifts back into her horse form and tries to trample her opponent.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Blood Red
Hair Colour/Style:
------Human form: Long (Comes down to the middle of her thighs) black hair that she wears like this. Her hair is intertwined with kelp. It always looks to be wet.
------Horse Form: Long black mane and tail with kelp intwined within it. It always looks to be wet.
Skin Colour:
------Human Form: Very pale. (like someone who has not seen much sun)
------Horse Form: White skin and all of her hair, excluding her mane and tail, are also white. It also shines as if it is constantly wet.
Clothing Style/Colours: Gwynonwen likes wearing low-cut (after all one can't attract lunch if one hides everything, but one musn't show any of the important bits either) red dresses with black designs on them. Thanks to her Celtic origin, she loves Celtic knots. She also wears either sandals or slippers in her human form.
Extra: In both forms, she has very sharp teeth, like most carnivores, but tends to not show them. She's of average height in her human form, around 5'2" and she looks like a Clydesdale in her horse form. Also, because of personal preferences, instead of a purse, she has a pocket. She keeps this hidden on her person and anyone is free to go looking for it, if they feel like losing a hand. She now has a glowing blue lock at her hip attached to chains that wrap around her hips like a belt with celtic runes on the lock itself (from the legacy meta).
