Appearance/Description: Standing at 5'4", Gwen is a bit small for her age but don't let that fool you! An excellent fencer that's light on her feet and possesses good footwork, she can as gracefully dodge attacks as she can dance. She has long golden brown hair that she loves to braid in various ways and a penchant to wear hair ornaments. Her clothes are usually dresses that are easy to move in and dresscoats.

Her green eyes speak of intelligence, kindness and apparently stress. Although Gwen is not an uptight person, many mistake her for a worrier and constantly stressed over something. However, Gwen does value her time highly, as such she prefers efficiency.

Description of their familiar:Fenrir is a large black wolf of the North. He is as tall as Gwen and can be quite intimidating even when he doesn't try. Fenrir is very much the strong silent type, a wolf that doesn't speak much and when he does likes to be very precise and when words aren't enough be very weary of his fangs. He is very calm and analytical though he rarely shares his thoughts even to Gwen, only vague feelings through their bond. Fenrir also shares a history with Elaeria's dragon that he hasn't said much on it. Gwen's not even sure if it was good or bad, but for now she remain's weary of the dragon.

Biography/History: Gwen in the only daughter of James Ashburn, head of Elianst's financial affairs. However after an untimely demise under suspicious circumstances, James' younger brother Robert became the head of house and adopted Gwen as his own daughter. Melissa, Robert's wife, is worried for the future of her own children, as technically Gwen can claim the right of being heir to House Ashburn. She is currently trying to arrange a marriage to get rid of Gwen, although neither Gwen or Daniel (Gwen's cousin and adoptive brother) would like this. Daniel although competent in managing money, would prefer Gwen to take up the responsibilities as Elianst's finance minister since she has a natural talent for the job.

Gwendoyln is a true lady of the court, even though she doesn't like the games other ladies play. She was heavily trained in etiquette, dancing and violin as apparently these were marriagable qualities noble men looked for in noble ladies. Although she was raised to be a proper lady, Gwen also had extensive training in fencing though she lacks true battle experience. She also helps Robert with his duties and had worked on the Academy project by his side since the plan was conceived. Elianst has invested a good (read ridiculously large) number of their resources into building the Academy, Gwen is determined to see this venture successful for fear of not only Elianst but the other countries' economic futures.
