Gurwen's page

Gurwen hadn’t always been known as the blood maiden. Believe it or not, she was a part of a very well established household in the city of Talingarde. She sang, danced, and learned to create wonderful bows and other creations from wood. Her mother would teach her of the wonders of magic and explain to her the who’s who of their town. She made her lessons fun, teaching her how to cast magic in fun and new creative ways. Her father taught her to shoot. She became quite a skilled marksman in those few short decades. Then it all went wrong.
One day when her mother and she were out at the market shopping for dinner, they were attacked. These bandits robbed her mother of her spell book and covered her face with a sack. They grabbed for Gurwen but were instead greeted by an icicle to the face. She screamed, but no one did anything. Frantically, she searched the crowd for faces. Then she saw him. The King. She screamed at him for help, trying to get his aid, but he only watched. Seeing he was of no help, she kicked at the bandits and tried to stop them from dragging her mother into the alley. She was only able to stop the one; the other two proceeded to slam her mother’s head repeatedly into the concrete. As they ran away, she ran to her mother, screaming and crying. She held her mother, head still covered, and rocked back and forth. That day, she vowed to kill the King.
15 years later, she actually tried.
She snuck in past the guards, made it half way into the castle and lined up her shot. She was so giddy with the joy of revenge she didn’t even hear the footsteps behind her. She looked up, gasped, and all went dark.
Next thing she remembered was standing in front of the very king she tried to kill, still very much alive to her dismay. She was too furious with her failure that she barely heard what he was saying. Something about High Treason, drawn and quartered, prison until execution. None of what he was saying mattered. She had a mission to finish, and by Asmodious, she was going to finish it, very slowly, and very painfully, for everyone involved…

Gurwen is 6’2” with very feminine features. She has the beauty and grace of an elf and the stance and power of a hunter. Her long black hair falls to just below her shoulderblades, which she keeps stylishly up in braids. She dresses in dark greens, reds, and blacks, very much at home in extravagant clothing. Her clear blue eyes and innocent looking face give the impression of a sweet, gentle woman.

She, however, is not a sweet and gentle woman. She is a bitter, snarky woman with venom in her words. She has a difficult time relating to normal folks and has the horrible habit of being just a bit elitist. Okay, a LOT elitist. She has made friends, though, despite her callous nature. She might be hard to be around at first, but if you align with her goals or her viewpoints, she comes around quickly, knowing she needs all the help she can get.
