Gwenhwyfar


Name: Gwenhwyfar
Nicknames: Gwen, Gwenny, Buttercup

Age: 17-18 by Earth years

Gender: genderfluid? female acting? (goes by she/her due to the humans who found her thinking she's female)

Race: Entherian, an alien race of empaths; they look like humanoids with skin coloration varying from white to grey, with patterns of azure to blue spots going from the back of the neck to the tip of a short, lizard-like tail; they're bald, but have two antennae on top of the head, usually curled up, but reaching 3 feet in lenght when uncurled; they have no sexual dimorphism, so they have no concept of gender

Height: 5'0' feet
Eyes: icy blue, with no pupil

Relationship status: single (shipped with Leonardo from TMNT)
Sexuality: pansexual

Likes: Earth music (especially from '60 to '80), basketball, watching and commenting soap operas, reading (or, better, being read aloud, she is still learning), big animals
Dislikes: crowds, aggressive behaviour, sweet food, small and aggressive animals
Fears: abandonment, isolation, most reptiles severely unnerve her

Powers and abilities: like all Entherians, she has empathic powers, which allow her to interpret and replicate the emotions of others and, when her antennae get uncurled, to broadcast her own: due to being a particularly powerful member of her species, she can exercise a certain level of emotional manipulation on people, though it's an ability she has to train to perfect

Personality: kind, compassionate and curious, Gwen likes the company of people, though her being an empath makes her easily overwhelmed in the presence of big crowds and shy when confronting exhuberant characters; having the freedom on Earth to express her own emotions makes so that she doesn't always act with the tact she should have, causing her to be bluntly honest and then go back in her shell due to shame

Bio: due to being a race of empaths, Entherians are highly popular in their star system due to being peaceful, wise and compassionate, but also caused their government to institute a rigid system of regulations on the population: since a very young age Entherians are encouraged, if not outright forced, to reject strong emotions in favour of a peaceful disposition and a detached approach to external emotions.
Being born with a particularly strenghtened ability to understand other's emotions and project her own, Gwenhwyfar has been trained to use her power to calm down people around her, to preserve peace and quietness, and to avoid attachments that could cause her emotional strain.
That is until, while traveling to another system with her mentors to mediate during peace talks between two planets at war, her ship got attacked by Entherians rebels and her escape pod got damaged, sending her out in the deep of space until she landed on Earth.
Here, she got found and rescued by Harper Rhodes and is now living hidden in the house she shares with her mother Rosalyn, in New York, while her pod got found and taken away by FBI.
