Gwendolyn

Armored knight of Ostia. Intent on mastering defense, despite feeling awkward in armor.

Born into a family with a proud military tradition, Gwendolyn was raised in the shadow of her elder brother Bors, a steadfast knight of Ostia. After the death of their parents, Bors became her guardian and greatest role model. From a young age, Gwendolyn devoted herself to the path of the heavy knight, seeking not only to follow in his footsteps, but to surpass them through sheer will and discipline.

Her closest companion in youth was Lilina, daughter of Marquess Hector. With few other girls of her age in the region, Gwendolyn often found herself in Lilina’s company. Despite their different stations, the two formed a lasting friendship—one founded on mutual respect, and later, shared loyalty to Ostia.

When Gwendolyn came of age, she joined the Ostian Armor Knights, one of the kingdom’s most elite military orders. Though still young and unseasoned, her tenacity and drive earned her the respect of her comrades, particularly Barthe, her senior and mentor, and Ogier, a fellow knight-in-training. Her bonds with them deepened in the crucible of hardship, as they drilled, sparred, and grew stronger together.

During a time of political unrest, when a treacherous rebellion erupted in Castle Ostia under the command of General Leygance and Devias, Gwendolyn, Barthe, and Ogier were away from the capital. Upon learning of Lilina’s imprisonment, the trio rushed back to Ostia, determined to rescue their liege and restore order. There, they encountered Roy of Pherae, whose forces were already engaged against the traitors. Recognizing Roy’s leadership and sharing his cause, they pledged their swords to him and fought side by side to quell the rebellion and save Lilina.

From that day forward, Gwendolyn marched with the Lycian League under Roy’s banner, taking up arms against Bern and its fanatical king, Zephiel. Despite her youth, she bore the weight of her armor and duty with pride, charging headfirst into battle alongside veteran soldiers. Her resolve never wavered, even as the war claimed countless lives and tested the mettle of every soul in Elibe.

Following the war’s end, Gwendolyn returned to Ostia with her comrades, where her courage and perseverance did not go unnoticed. She continued to serve with distinction, eventually rising to become the first woman ever to lead the Ostian Armor Knights as captain—a position earned not through favor or title, but through unwavering strength and honor.

Though clad in steel and known for her commanding presence, Gwendolyn remains deeply human. She takes pride in her role as a knight, but quietly contends with insecurities common to girls her age. She worries that others see her as imposing or masculine due to the bulk of her armor. Yet these doubts do not shake her resolve. Instead, they fuel her desire to become both a warrior worthy of her comrades and a woman unafraid of her own identity.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
