Gwen Ursanaa
Gwen Ursanaa (a.k.a. Cub)
For some time now, Nestor Yaromir has been assigned to Greenhaven, and it is thanks to him that we have the information needed to complete these profiles of the Ursanaa family members.
Gwen Ursanaa is the fourth child of Briganna Ursanaa and Connaught Astor T'Ursanaa. In any other family, she might be overlooked, but in the Dyodian matriarchy, as the second granddaughter of Governor Eileithyia Ursanaa, she has a variety of options and opportunities, other than marriage and motherhood. Nestor Yaromir informs us that she is quick-witted, determined, and above all, curious. Such qualities could benefit her in any number of ways as an adult. However, as a child who has seen a mere eight Feast Days, her stubborn curiosity frequently gets her into trouble.
Her recent display of natural skills, together with her personality, make it natural to assume she will take after her biological mother, Briganna Ursanaa, in becoming a proficient enough warrior to support her desire for adventure and exploration. Her interest in exploration of The Lost Lands, and determined curiosity about the secrets held therein, make her a potential asset for The Athenaeum. The Outreach Office should consider recruiting her as a student at the Athenaeum as soon as she is of the necessary age.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Gwen is a strong, healthy child and has followed her oldest brother, Elin, around for years, mimicking his physical activities as best she could. Recently, she has begun more formal training in weapons, and she shows a high level of natural skill despite her youth and current size. She is also proficient in riding both horses and Coos.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Gwen adores her brother Elin, and has always butted heads with her brother Connor. She loves and respects her sister Eichora, but they have never had enough in common to be very close. The Ursanaa children were and are raised by a combination of their grandparents, their Dedicated, and then their parents. Because of this, Gwen sees her mother Briganna more as the older sister she looks up to and wants to be like.
Education
Gwen, like the rest of the Ursanaa children, has been formally educated by her Tutor, Twyla, a minor noble who was trained at the Athenaeum for this specific purpose. In addition, Nestor Yaromir has supplemented her education where he believed it would be helpful. She's sharp and quick-witted, but has always struggled to stay focused in the classroom, preferring to go adventuring outdoors. Her best "classroom" subject is exploring the local woods for trace of the local fauna.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Recently, Gwen has discovered some unusual things about her younger brother, Bryan, and, according to Nestor Yaromir, has made the connection that his "oddities" have something to do with The Lost Lands. Her already curious nature has combined with this realization to motivate her to train for exploration of that place, as soon as possible. It may be difficult to deter her from taking this journey of discovery sooner than she is ready for it.
