+ Magically adept; she has trained in magic since she was young and has a lot of natural talent as well as focused skill, particularly in Restoration, Mysticism, the Frost branch of Destruction and Enchanting

+ Patient; after so long, she has become able to sit through just about anything, particularly if survival or learning necessitates it.

+ Skilled alchemist; this is another craft she has had since she was young, and she has grown particularly skilled at crafting potions of restore magicka

+ Large magicka pool; her many years of training have expanded her mind, and given her quite a bit of power to draw from

+ Well educated; she is able to read and write in several languages, and has a vast knowledge of history, both ancient and recent- as well as this, she is very well read and just plain intelligent

+/- Moral; partially because of her raising and partially because of her experiences, Gwyneira has a very well defined set of morals, and she is unlikely to deviate from them.

+/- Charitable; she is more than willing to give away her services for a low cost, or, in rare cases free- though she does try to at least get something out of the deal, like food or board

+/- Cautious; she exercises an extreme amount of it, to the point where she rejects nearly anything with a possibility of her being hurt, killed, or discovered, including trusting others

+/- Inventive; she is very good at adapting spells or alchemical formulas, though it doesn't always work out in her favor, particularly not when it explodes or she ends up broke

+/- Nonviolent; it takes quite a bit to truly provoke her and she makes every effort to stop a fight even if she is actively being attacked

- Stunted magicka; because of her Atronach birthsign, she cannot naturally regenerate magicka, and when she runs out she feels faint until it is restored

- Phobias; she is terrified of Dwemer ruins and artifacts, and can hardly look at a mushroom, let alone eat one, although the latter is largely pushed aside for the sake of alchemy

- Heat and fire weakness; due to the ice coating her skin and her own paleness, she burns easily and cannot easily be exposed and acclimated to warmer weather- it is possible, but she dislikes it

- Physical strength; aside from walking, she has no skills in this whatsoever- she can't run for very long, use any weapon heavier than a dagger or staff, fight with melee, carry things, pick locks and pockets...

- Stutter; this might seem small, but a voice is a huge tool- this tends to give people a lower opinion of her, since she seems like a timid pushover, or a less intelligent person.

Description: Pallid complexion was given something more than the flat white it would have been by the sheen provided by the thin layer of ice that always coated it. Pale skin was slung over a frame that, at times, would seem to be more bone than flesh, be it muscle or fat- the majority of the latter existed in her legs, toned from her neverending journeys. Sharp angles protruded in many places, most prominently in her cheeks, collarbone, and hips. This was yet another way in which her elven heritage was obvious. As for breasts, hers were small, and her hips were hardly what one thought when one said 'childbearing'. A smattering of scars covered her hands, small lines crisscrossing over soft skin and lined palms. Joining these was the single slash drawn across her stomach, and the apparent lash marks that lined across her shoulders in small amounts. Finally, her face, sharp and narrow as the rest of her, though perhaps not quite as lined as that of other mer. Her eyes were slanted and so light of a blue that they could almost be classed as grey, though if one withed to turn to the actual names of colors, the word periwinkle might come to mind.

Clothes: In the way of adornments, Gwyneira was simple- over all else, she prefered her mage robes, taking a pale blue color for the most part. At the bottom, cut diagonally from shin to knee, there was a trim of deep indigo. The entire thing was gathered at her waist by the cloth sash and belt that she wore, which contained her various pouches and purse, not to mention the knife that she kept tucked, hidden aside from the hilt that peeked up from behind lavender cloth. Beneath this she wore plain brown leggings, comfortable and well worn, and tucked into boots covered and lined generously in some soft fur. Over her robes, she wore her cloak, the black fabric of which covered her shoulders and fell over her chest. Typically, the hood was flipped up, the deep cowl used to cover her face and provide anonymity. Her hands received mittens which typically left her palms and the bottoms of her fingers bare, though there was a flap that she drew over at times. Tucked beneath the hood was an amulet, golden and in the shape of a sun- this she kept hidden, though at times one might catch a glint of metal, or see the faint outline of something beneath.

Personality: Above all, Gwyneira values privacy, and she goes to great lengths to preserve it, though not such ones that she would deny a person in need of healing her services. The quiet, background demeanor that she adopted to hide herself has become too much a part of her now to be dropped with ease. She guarded her secrets well, holding them close and releasing not even the barest glimmer. It's possible that she has a slight case of wanderlust, as she cannot remain in one place for too long, but that could just be a part of her anxiety- the very thing which, if not entirely causing it, at least contributes to the stutter that she just can't shake. Whatever she may seem at first, Gwyneira is studious, and firm in her beliefs- she can be difficult to sway, even through means of intimidation. Aside from her odd phobias of anything related to the Dwemer, eating mushrooms, or the Companions- Nordic warriors in general, truly- or her constant worry about running out of magicka and being left faint and weak- she has few fears. Caution and sensibility, and the wisdom to know when it is better to leave well enough alone, but not a true terror. When wielding her magicka, mainly for healing, she seems to be a totally different person. She is firm and commanding, confident and in control with the knowledge that she is needed, in the case of healing, or that she has power, in the case of battle. This will fade quickly in the wake of her power being drained, but it exists. It is hard to find, as she far prefers the anonymity that the background she has made her home provides, but it is real.
