Shrewd Trader: Gwendolyn is no chump, and has no time for snake oil or smooth talkers.
Being someone who deals in rare texts and information she can often sniff out another’s scheme easily when they try to scam her with any lies or fake merchandise.
Linguistic Prowess: She knows and can speak and read most languages existing and is fluent in a few ancient ones.
Purveyor of the Occult: Being one who gives information to those that can pay what she demands means she isn’t very choosie on who she lets in.
Only who she lets return. Many occult and dark Magics call her archives their home and prison making her knowledgeable of how cults operate, who they worship and wether they are mad or dangerously close to a truth.
This results in her being particularly effective against curses and darkhaving some very high level connections in the more mage dominated side of the underworld.
The Blessing of The Vollmund: Her family since being charged with guarding and tending the archives all those centuries ago were given a blessing. The ability to control moonlight.
It’s extremely powerful magic able to heal Gwen even form death should the death be within 5 minutes of her moonlight exposure and shape to the users will almost anything she could desire.

Personality
Gwendolyn is generally a calm, gentle person to be around.
Many find her easy to talk to and enjoyable to converse with. Warriors and those with an accuse sense for strength or danger however..can feel unnerved by her piercing gaze and friendly demeanor.
Many that feel this way describe her as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
She can often get extremely over confident in her knowledge however, and think none can rival her.
There are those that very much can.
Gwen also has had things very easy in life and had the intellect to take full advantage of every advantage given to her.
That being said when being confronted with a difficult problem or person Gwen can be very easily wound up and frustrated when the upper hand is taken from her, someone proves themselves better than her at something, or some kind of problem proves too difficult for her to breeze past on sheer intellect.
She can also have very little patience for anyone she thinks is “uneducated.” Or “Dim.”
