Gwen is sitting on a hill in the outskirts of Thestalos, where she lives with her parents.  She is sitting with her back up against a large Oak tree with a sketchpad on her lap, and her pen in hand, drawing a landscape picture of the nearby woods.  "It'll be fun to get back to the school this year.  I can't wait to see what my art class is like."  She says, talking to herself while she draws, adding more color and depth to the picture as she goes.

After a while, she sets her sketchpad aside the drawing finished for the moment.  'I wonder what kind of things we'll be doing this year.  I hope I'll meet some new friends!' She thinks to herself, sitting and simply staring up into the Nevada sky, currently clear, with barely a cloud in sight.  She puts her sketchpad back into her messenger bag, which is also holding  a couple other sketchpads, one of which has a pitch black cover, the other with a dark blue cover, with white specks, and assorted art supplies, as well as a couple snacks and a water bottle.  This is all she has with her, or at least all that most people would know of.

She has luggage, it is just sealed within the first page of her starry blue notebook.
