Name: Gwynwwyn (Gwyn)
Age: 18
Nameday: 3557.02.13
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Craft: ---
Rank: Holder/Candidate
Location: Balen Hold
Physical Description: Gwyn stands about 5'6" with slightly wavy 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. Her pale skin is marked with a darker scar on her left wrist, where she once accidentally burned herself on a hot pan.
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.
Positive Trait List thoughtful, loyal, understanding, dedicated
Negative Trait List introvert, temperamental, sarcastic, fussy
History: Gwyn was raised in a small cothold that had been built in an old cave. She was raised as an only child by her father, who 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 15 when Thread fell again. Despite her protests, and much to her horror, her father decided that now was the perfect time to start trying to match her with a "suitable" husband ("You need to continue the family line!" and "With Thread falling now, you need to give thought to future generations!" being two of his oft-repeated arguments). 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 Balen Hold to "see her aunt" (in reality, it was just another attempt by her father to secure an offer for her hand), a dragon flew in on Search, and made it clear that Gwyn (who was 18 at this time) was eligible to stand for the chance of Impressing. The dragons, as she knew, were of the greatest importance to Pern. She didn't have any clue how she might help, other than by possibly Impressing one and doing her best as a rider. So she went, hoping to do exactly that.
Other: Her father was very much against the idea of Gwyn getting any Harper training. Fortunately, one of her friends' mother had been properly taught, and had done her best to educate her along with her own children. Gwyn isn't the greatest at maths, but she has the basics.
