Gwyyn



Gwyyn is a kaldorei ex-Sentinel and archaeologist loosely associated with the Explorer's League and the Lorewalkers. She spends a great deal of time at the type of dig sites that leave workers glancing neurotically over their shoulders and muttering about voices.

Appearance
Gwyyn is tall, possesses a lean, unfeminine build, and wears her medium-length white hair pulled back into a queue. A scar runs across her left temple. She isn't beautiful, even by unconventional standards, but there is nevertheless something striking about her stark, cold, angular features. While her clothes are utilitarian, their fine materials and cuts suggest a certain fondness for small luxuries. A close observer might notice that her right wrist causes her discomfort.

Personality
Like a housecat, Gwyyn's personality is a combination of friendly and unsettlingly aloof; one is never quite certain whether she plans on rubbing her head against one's hand (metaphorically speaking) or biting it (hopefully also metaphorically speaking). She is unfailingly gracious and well-spoken, smiles frequently, and is generous with her time and money, but the warmth of her smiles never reaches her eyes, and the air of whimsical enthusiasm with which she conducts her daily affairs is at times unsettling, being perhaps indicative of some degree of madness. Those who have witnessed her in battle know her to be a brutally efficient and vicious adversary, willing to employ dishonorable means to get the upper hand, though she is sometimes undermined by her injuries and her own reckless abandon on the field. She is courteous in defeat and strangely seems to value a good enemy as much as—if not more than—a good friend.

History
Gwyyn does not readily discuss her past, and her precise age is unclear. She has mentioned before, however, that she was born in Ashenvale after the War of the Ancients, and that she served as a hippogryph rider among the Sentinels in Winterspring. Her old frostsaber, Rimeskin, is a relic of her time there. She will not talk about the events that precipitated her discharge from the Sentinels under any circumstances; however, other Night Elves, particularly sentinels, may already be familiar with them.

Additional Notes
Gwyyn is a priest out of character, but I play her as a non-class archaeologist and adventurer. She's athletic, stealthy, handy with a number of light weapons, and has excellent survival skills due to her centuries as a sentinel, but otherwise doesn't possess any remarkable martial or magical abilities. The wrist injury she sustained in the Third War prevents her from drawing a bow. Her rudimentary "healing" skills are attributable to field medicine. If she's in shadowform and/or using magic, she's OOC.
