[Background]
Guinevere (known by her friends as Gwen) grew up in Camelot with her father, mother and older brother. Her father Tom was a blacksmith in the town while her mother worked as maid in Sir Leon's household when Gwen was younger and before her mother passed away. As a result, Gwen and Leon became close friends as children. When she was old enough she became the personal maid to the Lady Morgana who also became a close friend of hers and now she is the Queen of Camelot!
More detailed background information on Gwen can be found here.
[Personality]
As the personal maidservant to the Lady Morgana Gwen is obviously a very trusted member of Castle’s staff. Throughout the whole of her time as maidservant she has proved herself to be extremely dedicated when it comes to her work. She is always there for the Lady Morgana and willing to work hard all day every day until she isn’t needed anymore. As a result she has proved to be a good friend to the Lady Morgana as well as others in Camelot such as Merlin. Above anything she is loyal to a fault and she proves her friendship more than once. She treats her friends like her family (probably since she doesn’t have much family to speak of only her father Tom and brother Elyan) and will do anything to help them.
When we are first introduced to Gwen it’s clear that she’s reserved and a little shy. She’s been used to having most contact with the Lady Morgana and other people seem to make her a little nervous. She’s always a little scared that she’s going to end up saying the wrong thing and in most cases that ends up being the reality no matter how hard she tries. Her interactions with Merlin, Arthur and Lancelot show this clearly. This might just show nervousness around young males or just new or important people in general.
“Arthur’s a bully and everyone thought you were a real hero”
-Gwen to Merlin.
From this statement the impression is clearly given then Gwen is not a fan of the Prince even though Merlin is convinced she might have a crush on him she denies it. There is a similar situation when a newcomer Lancelot arrives in Camelot. This clearly shows that Gwen finds it extremely difficult to admit to her feelings, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. This may have something to do with the way she perceives herself. She is simply a servant and in her mind she doesn’t think herself worthy for a prince or a knight. Although she is clearly a beautiful woman she is not vain in the slightest. For a while she also develops a crush for Merlin (the complete opposite of Arthur). This could show that Gwen can be too open with her feelings in the sense that she feels a connection to people with great ease. However, it’s possible this was simply to try and distract herself from her feelings for Arthur.
Although Gwen can be quiet and shy in some matters she’s shown to stand up for what she believes to be right even if it is not the general consensus. She is strong of will as well as of heart and she is stubborn, refusing to give up on something that she truly believes in. Being the daughter of a blacksmith she knows how to handle a sword and her determination to help those in trouble and need persuaded Arthur to let the woman fight. She is a strong believer that women are just as capable as men when it comes to these matters – to fight for their family and for those they love and is extremely brave. As mentioned before her family mean the world to her, clearly shown by her obvious distress when her father was ill and her grief when he died.
As time goes on she becomes more and more confident in herself and in others. She becomes much more comfortable around Arthur clearly showing that she is able to see past certain aspects of personality and see the true person inside. She becomes more and more dedicated to her friend Morgana and gets extremely worried about her when her nightmares get worse. Her caring and once again loyal side is shown as she stays with Morgana, not leaving her side. She has a quick mind and will defend those who are unjustly treated even if that means standing up to someone with power and authority in the kingdom. She is extremely wise and mature despite her young age and she is also quite spontaneous and manages to surprise Arthur on more than one occasion.
“Gwen is the most kind, loyal person you would ever meet and she has been more than a friend to all of us.”
-Morgana speaking about Gwen.
Gwen shows great love for her only remaining family member, her brother Elyan. She shows a slightly resentful side towards him however due to the fact she hasn't seen him for four years and there was no sign of him at their father's death. However, her grief is just as prominent as it was at her father's death when his death was possible after he fell victim to Lamia's kiss showing she cares for him a great deal. To her friendships do not fade with time as evidenced by herself and Sir Leon. Her mother had been a maid in Sir Leon's household so the two had practically grown up together. Even though they did not see much of each other in later life due to their different duties she still shows her loyalty even after such a long time when she frees him from the dungeons.
As time goes on and Gwen becomes Queen of Camelot the true extent of her loyalty to Arthur and to Camelot is revealed. Adjusting to the life of a Queen from that of a servant would undoubtedly not have been an easy transition but she manages it, her confidence growing even more. During her husbands absences she showed herself to be strong and more than capable of making important decisions that needed to be made. Gwen is shown to have extremely good acting skills in her role as Queen, even fooling Gaius who has known her most of her life. She acted harshly, sentencing Sefa to death but it is revealed later she never intended to go through with it - she used manipulation for the overall good of Camelot. However, as the season continues it remains to be seen if this 'pretend' harsh side to Gwen is more real than expected....
[Specialties/Abilities]
As mentioned before Gwen is the daughter of a blacksmith and therefore knows all about armor and various other pieces of equipment used by the knights of Camelot and even the King and Prince. She seems to have acquired her father's skills as a blacksmith especially for making armor and does so for Merlin and Lancelot. She was also able to forge a key to release Sir Leon, an old friend from the dungeons.
As also mentioned before she has basic skills when it comes to wielding a sword. However, she was no match for the Lady Morgana in a later confrontation.
[Affection] Guinevere is quite an affectionate person and gets close to people quite quickly and easily. Of course from the time she's from certain things were not appropriate but please be as affectionate as you want!
[Fighting] Although Gwen would not willing evoke an attack without being provoked she will protect herself and being a blacksmith's daughter is quite skilled with a blade. Injuries are perfectly fine but no death unless it's completely realistic. Of course contact me before hand.
[Other Permissions] I am open to a lot of things when it comes to RPing with other characters! Since Gwen is quite early in canon, fourth walling with other characters, especially canonmates is probably to be expected so that's totally fine with me! As for anything too out of the ordinary please contact me otherwise have at it!
[Other Facts]
Her dreamberry will be the traditional blackberry lookalike. She will have absolutely no idea how to use it and will probably need someone technical minded to help her out in that respect.
Not much else to say except that I'm completely open to plotting with anyone and everyone!~
