Bio:

Gwen was born a witch. Her skills were seen and nurtured under her mother’s attentive eyes and hands. She spent a large amount of her childhood training and honing her abilities and she was barely past her first bleeding moon when her skills became well known in the witches community. For some one of her age, her skills have yet to been openly rivaled, though Gwen knows that there are likely others just as skilled, if not more so, than her. (The witch trials made communication among witches rare. and Identities are rarely revealed, to protect all parties... Though the attention her skills received, did not always remain unnoticed, especially by those who practiced darker magics ) Gwen worked hard growing up, dedicating herself to her studies, easily surpassing the years most women married without realizing it.

She did come across one man, that would later be her husband, at one point. And both of them would have gave the other barely a second thought if they had been left to their own devices. Fate though, had other plans, and she ended up crossing paths with her future husband. (He was sickly and her mother ran the apothecary in their region. though, the medicine and herbs gwen grew were more effective than what her mother was able to produce.) He caught onto fate’s hint quicker than she did, and she jokes she was the last to know what the universe was hinting. She was only awoken to it, when he formally asked to court her. She accepted after a year.

They “courted” for two years, before they wed. Mostly for the fact that he was determined to get himself in reasonable health before he would tie her to him with marriage and she did not trust him enough to tell him her secret. Finally, it all seemed to fall into place and he accepted her for what she was and their union was formally recognized. She set aside her work as an apothecary, and focused on being the perfect wife.Their marriage lasted two years.

But her happiness did not last, Her husband died shortly after their second year anniversary. It was a devastating blow. Her loss was emphasized and cushioned by the fact that she had been unable to conceive his child. Providing for herself was something she knew would be a challenge, but she grieved with the belief she had nothing to hold onto that was theirs. But her husband, because of his illness, had planned ahead for her and written out his will. He left everything he owned to her, with the rationale that she had no male to take care of her, and it was his responsibility to see she was provided for, even in his death. The courts could only agree, especially when presented with the fact that she could not have children, and it was not from the lack of trying. They allowed her to keep the land and home, so long as she could continue to keep paying the taxes.

Gwen returned to the craft and job she had been groomed for, with ease and comfort that she had forgotten about. She worked both for herself and her deceased husband, fulfilling her promise that she would help anyone and everyone she could. Her talent and skills and her determination to make sure that they were available to the common people made her medicines to be highly desired. Her business soared and before she knew it five years had passed.

Other: She will not talk about her husband’s death.

Personality:
 Gwen is a strong willed and caring person. She has a strong and natural intuition, and relies largely on her gut instinct.
