As a child born into the noble house of Eventine, Gwyneth was blessed with the advantages of a thorough education and the good fortune of her family. A strong father and a loving mother nurtured the young Gwyneth into a gentle but bright child who was the very image of her mother right down to her vivid red hair and devout beliefs. Though being an only child benefited Gwyneth, she was ecstatic when her brother, Malavai, was born. Unforunately, Gwyneth's powers had begun to develop soon after and she was sent to the Order of the Sun. She returned five years later at the age of ten, earlier than others were released, as a transfer to the Novaliate Order in Southpeak to finish her training.

Gwyneth and Malavai were very close in their youth despite the five year gap in their ages and Gwyneth often having to be away from home. However, when their mother died giving birth to their younger sister, Ellimere, their father became cold and bitter and his change in demeanor caused a rift in the family. Though no longer as close as they were, Gwyneth strove to be there for her brother, but much of her time was devoted to taking care of the newborn. Barrett's children were not the only ones to feel the effects of his grief as the man began to make life very difficult for the commoners of Southpeak to the point of bringing despair and poverty to the once vibrant land.

Gwyneth managed to find solace from her hardships through her prayers which led her to become a priestess of Novalia. It was through her work that she met a man named Marcus Lykaios. The two fell in love quickly, but it took years for her father to consent to their marriage. Once wed, Gwyneth soon became ripe with child. Unfortunately the pregnancy didn't carry to full term and Gwyneth lost the child. Not long after that both Gwyneth's father and her husband died defending the town from a giant attack. In spite of all of this, Gwyneth was called to lead the family after her brother refused the title. Channeling her pain into energy, the young matriarch started to repair the relationship between the citizens of Southpeak and the nobles.

Trinket:

Aegis - A gift from Novalia to Gwyneth that allows her to channel the Goddess' power. Aegis takes the shape of a shepherd's crook fashioned from unnaturally pale and lustrous ironbark wood. The illusion of the tint and sheen is that of sun bleached bone unless viewed up close. Proportionately larger than most crooks in relation to Gwyneth, Aegis is a total of four and a half feet in length.

Free Skill:

Naturalist - Though she lacks the abilities of the Gifted healers, Gwyneth's training as a priestess of the Novalia Order has enabled her to use her knowledge of nature's bounty and simple items to mend the injured, cure common ailments, and neutralize harmful toxins.

Personal Ability

Gwyneth's abilities are an advanced form of those gifted to the Novaliate Order because of her direct blessing from the goddess. Unlike the standard barriers which block physical attacks, the wards that Gwyneth creates stop magical energies in their tracks.

I - The most basic of barriers in the form of triangular based pyramid of scarlet energy erected around Gwyneth and generally up to five people close to her to ward off magical attacks.

• Duration - Three posts at this level if not broken or dispelled first.
  
• Cool Down - One Post
  
• Uses - Up to twenty per thread at Power Level Four.
  
• Range - Short
  

II - Barriers are increased somewhat in durability and duration. A large dome barrier of scarlet energy can be formed over a wide area around Gwyneth, comfortably fitting ten people, or fifteen in a pinch. This particular barrier not only blocks magical attacks, but absorbs and diffuses it throughout the barrier to restore energy to those inside. [locked]

• Duration - Barriers at this level last for six posts if not broken or dispelled first.
  
• Cool Down - Three Posts
  
• Uses - Up to fifteen per thread at Power Level Four
  
• Range - Mid
  

III - Barriers are increased again in durability and duration and can be cast up to 30m away from Gwyneth to protect those far from her. Additionally, barriers created at this level soothe pain and seal minor wounds of those inside. [locked]

• Duration - Barriers at this level last for ten posts if not broken or dispelled first.
  
• Cool Down - See I and II
  
• Uses - See I and II
  
• Range - Long
  

IV - All barriers created by Gwyneth at this level are greatly increased in durability and duration. Gwyneth can now also weave her own barriers together with those of the Novaliate Order for a dual layer of protection against magical and physical attacks. [locked]

• Duration - Barriers at this level last for fifteen posts if not broken or dispelled first.
  
• Cool Down - See I and II
  
• Uses - See I and II

Pet

Name: Lord Mizington | Miz
Appearance:

(Courtesy of Graelin)

Standing a full foot at the shoulders, Lord Mizington possess all the poise and dignity of a baby bunny. Though small, the three year old dog is hefty, weighing in at forty pounds, much of which is attributed to his thick double coat of tawny and white fur. Small and michieveously bright brown eyes and a cunningly, but oh so cute, narrow face match Lord Mizington's permanentlypesky  puppy personality.

Temperament: Lord Mizington is anything but lordly. He's full of hectic energy that often manifests as impromptu games of non-consensual tug-of-war. Friendly to a fault, this particular canine is utterly useless for fending off attackers, unless their phobia happens to be cute bundles of fur with eager tails and tongues, but his vocal tendencies and keen nose don't let anyone escape unnoticed because that would mean missing out on new friends and potential treats, for which Lord Mizington will do almost anything for, at least long enough to get the prize.

History: Lord Mizington was gifted to Gwyneth as a squirming puppy by her late husband in 1998, prior to their marriage. Contrary to many of his actions, Lord Mizington was trained to be a reliable companion for the first year of his life. Needless to say, the attempts were abandoned. He is permanently attached to Gwyneth inside the Eventine estate, but has never left the grounds since his arrival.

Mount

Name: Vakarian
Appearance:

(Courtesy of Dolldivine)

On the small side for the hardy mounts native to the land, Vakarian stands at 13 hands and is rather light boned, being bred for speed over strength. What the brown-eyed stallion lacks in size, he makes up for with a luminous gold coat with a white underside and muzzle with matching mane and tail, the latter of which is braided halfway down its length, symbolic of Gwyneth's personal style.

Temperament: Unlike his owner, Vakarian is a feisty creature. He does not tolerate the touch of many besides Gwyneth, though his stubbornness can be swayed with a few apples. His temperament holds true even in the face of conflict. Rather than shying away, Vakarian will leap into the fray if not directed otherwise.

History: Vakarian was one of many gifts given to Gwyneth by her late husband. The stallion arrived the day before their marriage in 1999, already one year into his training under the guidance of Marcus. The horse took to Gwyneth's calm and kind personality quickly even though Gwyneth was not able to ride him often for the first year as she became pregnant soon after. Rides became daily a few months after her miscarriage as a way to relax and the daily bonding strengthened their relationship as rider and steed even further.
