Outward Appearance
Name: Gwynwynn 'Gwyn' Grimsceadu
Age: Young, though her exact age is unknown. Appears to be around 17-19.
Ethnicity: Rohirric
Height: Tall, a bit over 6 feet.
Eye colour: Gwyn's eye colour is a piercing shade of green.
Skin: Gwyn's skin is pale and fair. She has a few old scars but they are not visible on her.
Physique: Gwyn is tall and slim, though she does have a feminine body with curves and a considerable bosom. She has exceptionally beautiful hands with long nails that she protects by wearing gloves when in cold or a fight.
Hair: Gwyn's hair is long and just a bit wavy. If seen let loose, it reaches below her waist. It can often be seen like this when in leisurely situations, falling wildly down her back and arms. Her hair is a luxuriant sight, being flaming red in colour and very attractive.
Face: Gwyn's face is her fortune, so to speak, and she knows it. It is something one notices first as its beauty is striking and alluring. Her eyes have an exotic look, green in colour and piercing. Rich, long eyelashes grace her eyes, and well-formed eyebrows. She has a small nose and if one looked really close, they could notice freckles gracing it. Her lips are full and sensual, and appear luscious, whispering of forbidden pleasures. She has a beautiful, wide smile and a noticeable feature on her face is that she has a natural small gap between her front teeth which only adds to her allure. Whenever one looks at her body and face, only one word comes to mind. SIN.
Political affiliation: Gwyn knows a bit about politics though what she knows she learned from experience of being part of different circles in her past, not books or any formal education. She knows politics well from her experience but is free from all affiliations, knowing only that appearing to be affiliated to different sides can be used to her advantage and guile is something she uses very well.
Education: There was no formal education for Gwyn. However, she possesses a natural intelligence and learned a lot from the circles she was in at the time and there were all sorts. All she knows is not from books but experience and she is much more intelligent and knowing that she may let on.
Languages spoken: Gwyn speaks Rohirric and Westron fluently and appears to have a knowledge of Sindarin as well though due to lack of situations requiring her to use it, few know how deep her knowledge of it is or is not.
Religion: There is no religion Gwyn follows but her own personal guidelines.
Weapons: Blades and daggers are the favoured weapons of Gwyn and she is a natural with them. She has at least two, the visible ones are at each side of her belt. She is brilliant with daggers and blades and uses the with perfect accuracy and skill. And she thinks they look good on her, too.Though one might rightly say Gwyn's greatest weapon is her seductive beauty.
Occupation: Used to be an actress and conwoman, now apparently a sellsword.
Special Abilities/Skills: Gwyn has led an an eventful life and has a colourful past. She has been an entertainer since early youth and as an actress has an innate ability to adopt different personalities, accents, temperaments and motivations to her will. Thus guile and pretense along with her alluring beauty and natural charm, are Gwyn's special skills. She is a natural with men. She can appear ignorant at one moment, learned the next. She can appear jovial one moment, melancholy the next. She can appear as a noble lady would, proper speech and manners, or a commoner. She can appear as whatever she chooses to, this is her gift, but she is always seductive. Openly or not, whether her 'victims' are meant to know it or have her seduction erode its way into their blood. But what she really is, remains a mystery. With her seductive beauty Gwyn can get what she wants while not betraying who she truly is, something known only to herself, but being whoever the situation calls her to be at the moment.
Serious Problems/Flaws/Addictions/Disorders/Disabilities: Due to her great beauty and allure, Gwyn is a vain woman, knowing full well just what power she wields by it. She is very confident due to her beauty and knows too well how to use her wiles and charms to get what she wants. After she does, she usually discards her 'victims' without a second thought. The feelings of others do not matter to her, though she is excellent at portraying that they do if she needs to. She uses guile and pretense to perfection, so much so at times she herself feels like she does not know who she really is anymore. But she stays in perfect control, always. She is manipulative, scheming, highly flirtatious and extremely seductive, and yet nobody feels they really know her or can really get close to her. For whatever reason, she has made her true self impossible to know to others. This dark side of her allure often makes others feel hurt, used, discarded and uncared for by this intensely alluring young woman. Though her allure is great and her charm obvious, so is her ability to cut herself from all true feeling and because of this she appears callous. Her ability to act and pretend and hurt others by this is her greatest flaw and her greatest disability at the same time as being as good at it as she is, she has to keep reminding herself of who she is when no others are around, the only time she feels she is not in control which bothers her greatly as being in control is something she is usually a natural at.
Clothing: Gwyn used to be an actress and in those times wore gowns and robes of beauty to match hers. She is an adept at what clothes to wear and when, befitting the occasion and chosen to best effect. She has still from her past, many, many items of clothing to wear for a suitable occasion. Her aim is always to ensnare and she knows what attire, whether extravagant or simple, will do it. Since she has arrived to Bree, she has only been seen in attire similar to that of the company she now keeps. Leather boots, belts with daggers at each side, and characteristically her own, a blouse or top that shows just enough to entice the viewer.
Character: Gwyn is an extremely seductive and beautiful woman. And she knows this well. She knows she is intelligent yet she also know her beauty is something she can use to her best advantage. She is a master of pretense and can switch temperaments and moods with an effortless ease to reach her ends. She looks seductive, acts seductively, speaks seductively--seductive, in fact is the best word to describe her as she has mastered this craft. Seduction is her greatest weapon, even deadlier than her blades as it strikes unseen and appears harmless, but is anything but. She is manipulative, scheming, selfish, vain and in control. She easily finds her targets' weaknesses and exploits them. She is also charming and witty. However, who Gwyn is beneath the layers of masks she likes to wear, remains unknown to all but herself. But always, her alluring smile invites to sin.
All in all, everyone who has ever believed they'd known Gwyn would say the sensual temptress is the dark side that beckons, sin under cover of painful beauty.
Background
Gwyn has led an eventful life even up to this point where she has not yet even reaches her twenties, and has a colourful past. And yet Gwyn remains in all respect a figure of mystery. She is many things to many people and accounts of what she appears to be will different depending on who you asked.
Not much is known about Gwyn. It has been said she was the second child of an unsuccessful actress, an older brother having gone to seek his fortune before she was born. Her mother was a bitter woman prone to drinking, making her living as an actress, though it was rumoured she was more than just that and Gwyn was an unwanted child of one of her 'admirers'. It is said it was no secret Gwyn was an unwanted child, spending her early years in her native Rohan, among the unscrupulous and unsavoury crowds her mother preformed for. It is said Gwyn, even as a small lass, was forced to act in plays in inns and the like for coin, though behind the stage it is said her mother was extremely abusive to her. So it is said Gwyn ran away from home at an early age, joining different theatrical groups in Rohan and travelling the land, performing. From an early age, becoming someone else came naturally for Gwyn and though she made little coin as an actress, it was enough to survive. However, coin was scarce and work was constant. Then it happened Gwyn crossed paths with a theatrical troupe that performed for nobles, a crowd Gwyn was unfamiliar with. She joined the troupe but soon found out they were not quite what they seemed.
The theatrical troupe was underneath a band of con artists, under guise as actors and entertainers yet young Gwyn was entranced by their skill and ability to beat the odds, living by their own rules. She became a full member of the troupe and was molded into a con artist of brilliance, her natural flair for pretense aiding her on the way. Gwyn soon grew into a beautiful young woman and learned her beauty was her greatest weapon, even though she was well-trained in using blades by then. Manipulating her marks with her beauty and scheming her way into the hearts and coin purses of the noble and the rich, Gwyn soon became the troupe's shining star and greatest asset. For a few years thus Gwyn honed her skills as a con artist as the troupe moved through Rohan and Gwyn perfected the art of disguise and pretense, able to switch from street wench to noble lady in a moment to 'play' her victims. In those years, Gwyn, then known by her birth name that is unknown, was a famed actress throughout the lands of Rohan, renowned for her talent and beauty. And by night, Gwyn was a con artist that used her beauty and charm to gain what she wanted. Coin. In those days Gwyn was known to wear expensive gowns as an actress, her fiery hair falling down and creating a striking image.The theatrical troupe of con artists reaped success after success, much thanking to Gwyn's charm. Then rumours of war spread through Rohan.
It was then that frictions arose within the troupe. Some wished to leave to other lands and demanded their share of coin, and demand for entertainment lessened as a need for soldiers arose. It was in those times that the middle-aged, lecherous leader of the troupe set his eye on Gwyn and started making advances at her. Disgusted, Gwyn was heard to have threatened to kill him if he ever approached her again. Soon after, the man was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Whether Gwyn had anything to do with his death or not was unknown, but the damage was done and Gwyn was the main suspect. It was then, that Gwyn left her native Rohan and for awhile nothing was heard of her.
Some time after, Gwyn resurfaced in Gondor with a different name and a different identity. She continued to perform as an actress and everywhere she went, coin purses mysteriously disappeared, though nobody suspected Gwyn. She lingered in Gondor for awhile, went under again and resurfaced elsewhere. It seemed everywhere the young woman appeared, her beauty and seductive skills became renown, yet her character differed. It appeared Gwyn adoped the manner of speech and behaviour of whatever land she entered and left just as mysteriously as she had appeared.
Recently, Gwyn resurfaced again, this time in Bree, using the name Gwynwynn Grimsceadu and adopting the rustic speech patterns of Bree-folk, her seductive beauty the only constant. It is in Bree that Gwyn finally found a reason to stay somewhere, a purpose and feeling of belonging when she joined a company of sellswords and thieves known as 'Night Must Fall'. Here, Gwyn has found her gift of guile and pretense to be of use again, making a name for herself and yet leaving all not within Night clueless to who she really is. Thus Gwyn remains an engimatic, yet seductive figure of mystery.
Gwyn is a mysterious young woman. Her personality is impossible to describe as she is so good with guile and pretense, it is well hidden behind the layers of masks. Gwyn was many things to many people, but since appearing in Bree, she seems to have adopted a rustic speech and simpler robes than the extravagant ones she used to wear in Rohan. She appears highly flirtatious, seductive, forward and confident. She has a disarming charm and is a hopeless flirt, a danger to many men to lose more then just their coin purse. Whether this is Gwyn's true self or just another role she adopted, remains unknown.
