Name: Gwendolyn Willow Calhoun (Simply known as Gwen)
Age: 19
Race: Human with about 20% elf in her.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5'5
Weight: 140
Occupation: Ex-stable hand turned adventurer.

Personality: Gwendolyn is quiet, reserved, bashful, and fidgety when it comes to people. In a crowded room, she'd sink into the shadows to avoid human contact. When she's alone, however, she'll sing and chatter away to Allister (see below). Also, for some reason, she just hates making eye contact with people. She'll glimpse at your eyes, then focus on the ground or on another object. If she's forced to meet your gaze, she'll stare at your nose.

Her normal attire is a pair of brown pants tucked into leather riding boots. She wears a bodice, with the body being an emerald color and undershirt that covers her bust and arms being white. She wears one glove, used to protect her fingers from the arrow string, and a bracer (arm guard).

Appearance: First off, due her minuscule amount of elven blood, she's been granted pale skin and a small point to her ears. Everything else about her is entirely human. Her hair is long, ending around mid-back, and it's a deep, deep black. She's also been blessed with soft curls. Her eyes are a piercing green, and stand out against her black hair. She's a bit on the chubby side and, when she laughs, it's a loud boisterous laugh.

History: Gwen had an average childhood. Her father is a fourth generation stable master. The property has been in her family for years, and has been passed down to all the first born sons. Her mother used to work for local nobility, but since marrying her father, she was bumped up a class and now tends the small farm located next to the stable yard.

Ever since she was a child she's had a fondness for horses, however, when she turned sixteen she decided to do something else with her life. At first, she wanted to work with magic, but after a brief assessment from a Mage, her dream was shot down. She then thought about becoming a knight, but was laughed at by her father and siblings. Desperate to find her place, she decided to leave her home and see what she could accomplish.

Skills:

Weapon Wielding
Due to her lack of upper-body strength, she is below average in any weapon that requires force, such as swords, maces, clubs, axes, ect.

Marksmanship
Because she fails in another area, she excels in marksmanship. Her brother, an archer, taught her how to successfully wield a bow and arrow, making her skill above average.

Horse Sense
Due to her upbringing, she knows how to handle a horse making her horse skill above average.

Mounted Attack
Yes, she has a way with horses, but she never fired an arrow from a horses back. Although she can, it's mediocre at best, and her aim is pretty off. Thus, this skill is average

Magic
No skill in this whatsoever. Can not summon anything, heal anything, or even blow up anything.

Arrow Making
With her dagger, Gwen can make arrows. She can only make wooden arrows, can only make them while resting, and can carry no more then 30 wooden arrows at a time. As for iron arrows, she needs to buy them, and because she doesn't have a lot of room, can not carry more then 10.

Gaelic
She can speak a small amount of Gaelic.


Equipment:

A simple dagger used to hunting purposes (skinning and cleaning).
30 wooden arrows carried in a fletcher on her back.
10 iron arrows made for defense.
A bow
An emerald gown
Saddle-bag (On both sides of the horse {See Below}, holds all necessitates. A small tent and bedroll are on the rear of the horse.)

Familiars:
Gwen travelers with two creatures:

Duncan: Duncan is her horse, given to her by her father. He is a massive Clydesdale, making his stamina and power excellent. Yet, he is not at all fast, making get-aways hard. Due to his appetite, as well, Gwen's resting period takes longer then average.

Alaster: Gwen believes he is an enchanted ferret. He's small, lightweight, and looks like a normal ferret and is often found rested around Gwen's shoulders, or in her satchel when in a town. What Gwen doesn't know, however, is that Alaster is a cursed Mage. Having killed his teacher on a quest for power, his magic was stripped from him and he was sentenced to life as a ferret. The ones who sentenced him believed he would be killed by a cat and have no idea that Gwen picked him up.
Has no magical powers. Basically, he's just a ferret that can talk.
