History:
Gwen’s parents are mortals, ordinary people, but had joined the force of the Old Ones and the Light to help defeat the Dark. They did not know their daughter was going to be an Old One, however.
Gwen’s parents assisted the Light secretly until her twelfth birthday, when they revealed their allegiance and she was told of her power and race. Gwen, always fascinated by the story of King Arthur, took her role in the world with great eagerness and solemnity. She found joy in the Gift of Gramarye, and terror as well as wonder in the war between the Light and the Dark.
Gwen, though she knew the Dark was evil and must be destroyed, voiced an opinion of hers one day that cost her her reputation among some of the Old Ones. She stated that she thought greater peace and greatness would come from the joining of the Dark the and the Light, instead of the destruction of the Dark. She was scoffed at and scolded, but held fast to her belief.
