Team and Team Leader: Xenia
Nickname: Gwen
Name: Gwendolyn Kara Sigrdrifa
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Main Power: She can control lightning, and through this, electricity. Her natural reserves of lightning make thunderstorms more likely near her, and she acts as a natural lightning rod. She can absorb some lightning, but too much could kill her.
One other power: Gwen has enhanced speed, not quite super speed, but enough that she blurs when she’d running. Fortunately, this power came with reflexes to match, otherwise she would always be running into things with enough force to break bones.
Skills: Hand-to-hand combat is her specialty, since she can react faster than almost anyone. Gwen is skilled with the spear as well. She’s also naturally good at horseback riding, though she’s never had a chance to. Gwen also can play almost any card game invented. Don’t play poker with her unless you’re willing to lose.
ONE weapon: She carries a six-foot spear with a razor-sharp blade.
Race: Valkyrie
Description: Gwen’s hair is loosely curled, falling just past her shoulders in golden waves. She never puts it up or ties it back, loving the feeling of it against her neck. She has deep blue eyes and flawless skin that almost seems to glow sometimes, giving her the appearance of having a tan when in actuality she’s been outside so rarely it’s impossible. Gwen is tall for a girl, standing just under six feet in her bare feet. She isn’t heavily muscled, but she’s toned and well able to weightlift.
She only wears achromatic clothing, with a preference towards black, but she owns some grey and white. Gwen usually wears sleeveless shirts and long pants with heavy combat boots, but occasionally she’ll wear dark floor-length gowns, just to keep people guessing. The few pieces of jewelry she owns are gold, and she always has a ring or two on. She also likes leather fingerless gloves.
Personality: Gwen is rather aloof and prideful, never admitting to any faults or mistakes. She’s got a quiet temper- when she gets mad, instead of exploding she goes quiet and stares at the offender with those sky blue eyes, tense and ready to fight. If she’s pushed further, she’ll unleash all of her fury on you, either resorting to physical violence or frying you where you stand. She almost never smiles or laughs, afraid that it’ll make her seem weak.
She knows that she doesn’t look as, well, tough, as many of the others, but Gwen does everything she can to fight against the assumptions others often make when they see her. She’s ruthless in battle, and will push herself far past her limits to prove her strength. Gwen als isn’t above fighting dirty or seeking revenge- be careful, or you might find all your electrical appliances fried.
History/Bio: Gwen had a rather unconventional upbringing, raised by an uncle who made his living gambling. He taught her how to cheat at any conceivable card game, how to pick out the best horses in a race, how to beat anyone at pool, and how to fight. She quickly proved herself to him, and soon he was bringing the blonde child to poker games and bars, and she was winning. One day her uncle was accused of cheating, and knifed in a bar fight. Gwen herself barely got away, and found herself on the street, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. She used her unconventional skills to survive, but she was eventually picked up off the streets and found herself handed over the The Creators. Since then, she’s worked to prove herself to everyone she same in contact with.
Likes: fighting, exercising, running, winning, chocolate
Dislikes: losing, being judged by her appearance, standing still, idiots
Don't Fill out until we start!!
Allies: The Ragers, to an extent. She views everyone as an enemy, in a sense.
Enemies: The Angelics, and the rest of the world, to her mind.
Crush: She's so aloof, she rarely gives romance a thought. Anyone hoping to catch her eye would have to be skilled in battle.
