Name: Gwen Silver
Age: Early 20's, I reckon
Description: Has green eyes that glitter when angry, and brown, sun-bleached hair that's about shoulder length. Is about 5'6, slender, but strong from working abord ships. Has several scars from sword fighting, a rapier being her favorite weapon.
History: Gwen doesn't remember either of her parents. Indeed, most of her early memories are mearly a haze of sea and sky. She did have a grandfather, or at least someone she called grandfather. He was an old salior who could tell wonderful stories when he had a mind, but he never told Gwen any of her past, especially since he died the day after her 8th birthday.
Or what she says was her birthday. It was the day Gwen got her last name. She was sitting against the rough side of the ship, when her granfather came and sat next to her. "I've a present" he stated simply, and held out his hand. Gwen took the silver ring he offered, and looked at it carefully. It was a heart, held by two hands, with a crown on top. "What is it?" she asked.
"It's an Irish symbol of true love. Wear it on your right hand until you find your one to love forever, then put it on your left."
"Why are you giving it to me?"
He smiled and was about to say something when across the ship someone shouted. The old salior's complexion changed "Get below!" he ordered, and strode off. Gwen was used to this. She would go below for hours, and when she came up, some of the men would be gone. She understood that they were pirates, and, though nice enough to her, other people didn't like them. But when it was over this time, it was her grandfather who was gone.
Gwen too became a pirate, and sailed on many a ship. She became known as Gwen Silver for the ring she wore and its way of reflecting light. She is dangerous with a sword, though soft spoken. She has many scars, but they came mostly from her teachers, not her opponents.
