Legends of Belariath

Gwennifer

A nymph born in the forests north of Nathalion, raised primarily in the woods.

As a young woman, encountered a travelling bard who persuaded her to travel with him to the cities of the South and see the wonderous sights of civilization. She joined his company and travelled with him, eager to discover the mysteries outside the forest.

However, at the first city he betrayed the young dryad. Gwennifer overheard her trusted comrade plotting with a local slaver to hand her over to him to cover one of his gambling debts. Furious, Gwennifer slipped out of the tavern and stowed away on a ship to escape the treacherous bard.

She wound up in Nathalion, stranded, alone and with little coin and no profession. She makes her way with odd tasks, occassionally tending bar at the Lonely Inn and sometimes working as a dancer, a profession which she has some training in from the Guild of Signet and Song.

She still enjoys learning the mysteries of civilized life and enjoys the splendor and glamour of it, but she is wary of people having discovered that many a kind smile conceals a cruel nature.
