Personality

Toward others, Gwyn is rather detached in more serious social interactions. Her eyes are generally on the world around her, lest she miss something, and her opinions are straightforward. She's blunt and to the point about things, even if it might come across as rude, but never with the intention of doing so. Her compassion is tempered with a caution she once lacked. Gwyn is happy to teach those that ask, help those that need it, and protect those that cannot do so themselves. She just watches her own back a little closer in their presence. Loyalty to others is won through action, not by the merit or words or passage of time and this belief has been firmly cemented as time has passed. To fight at her side and face down fate with her? That is the only bond she sees worth forging. Like a pack of wolves, be her strength and you'll have her's.

There was a time when Gwyn was a whirlwind of potential, bold and wild with a notable lack of self-preservation. She began her time in Terrasphere as a fearless and thrill-seeking junkie of sorts, finally free from her injury IRL, and happy to fall in combat or exploration so long as she was bettered by it in the end. She believed furiously that death wasn't permanent there and so everyone should be willing to press on against adversity. You don't gain experience in life by side-stepping challenges, after all. If she had to fail a thousand times, she'd make sure to succeed on attempt one thousand and one.

Things have changed. She still lives for the challenge and loses herself in the wild pulse of blood in her veins and pouring from wounds in the hunt. A shadow is cast on her optimism though, leaving her valiantly fighting the pessimism that whispers ill things in the back of her mind. Gwyn has seen horrible things happen, has done horrible things herself, and suffered like many others. Gwyn- Sabine herself has, for the first time in her life, known fear. Death may not be forever in the game, but that isn't merciful of it after all she has witnessed.

Positive: Adventurous, Determined, Honest, Adaptable

Biography

Sabine Bertrand was born to a French native and an American officer. Her mother, while stationed at a base overseas, fell hard for her father and when the time came to move to a base back home, he was happy to follow. From a young age, Sabine was a wild child through and through. While her older and younger sisters focused on academics and boys respectively, Sabine wanted something wilder. She played sports all through out her childhood, soccer to softball to track and lacrosse. Her family moved often because of the nature of military work, but she wasn't too bothered. Her sisters constantly had to make new friends while she found herself on a new team with a quickly formed bond between teammates. When they were shipped off to a base in California, things changed.

She found the outdoors. Or rather, the different hobbies one could partake in beyond the standard camping, fishing, and the like. Backpacking for extended hikes in deserts and mountains, navigating and climbing said mountains with equipment and sometimes just their hands? She found a new way to live that put team sports behind her. Be it with a group or by herself, she'd take off on weekends all through her last year of high school to go bouldering or simply surviving in the state and national parks with different levels of supplies for a different challenge every time. When she graduated, it wasn't college that called. It wasn't settling down.

Sabine took a job with a company that ran tours through various state and national parks all over the world and she took to it easily. She got to make money learning new places and showing people places she'd already tread the paths of. Between the customers and sponsors, the company could more than afford to pay her enough to afford what little she needed and to generate money for the parks they ran tours through. There was no greater joy to the middle Bertrand daughter, even if she sisters poked fun at her living out of a car. Things have a way of changing, however, and Sabine took a heavy blow. Or rather a fall. One particular run by herself on a weekend had her climbing an old haunt of hers when a rock gave way. Careless with her holds, being as familiar as she was with them, Sabine fell a fair way. She was lucky not to die, to be paralyzed, to be without a means of communication. A quick call on her cell had a climbing buddy headed her way. While she'd be fine, her hip wasn't. Her right leg and hip took an awful beating and multiple fractures left her unable to walk, much less climb.

Her father, settled in New Jersey and divorced from her mother for a few years, offered to help her pay for an apartment and physical therapy if she'd move close enough for him to help her. She accepted. They found a physical therapist, a new GP, and a small studio apartment for her to begin the long recovery. Sabine was sure she'd go mad with cabin fever before she healed. That is, until the day she came home from a therapy session to find an odd email awaiting her.

Titles

Minipets

Mini Azog (Rare - Pet) Azog, Prince of Fire and Flame to one of the Prime Elemental Lords, is a striking sight regardless of his diminutive size. Two golden vambraces and a matching spear are the only solid portions of the creature of pure flame made sentient. The Prince rants and raves in Asymgog when not imperiously threatening something with a wave of his sharp spear. He only gets more frustrated when he realizes how unintimidating the foot long spear is.

Mini Kindling Ember (Uncommon - Pet) Wherever he goes, either beauty or destruction follow. The Mini Kindling Ember is fast, despite his dwarven build, and seems active though never cheery. His flaming beard curls from his chin and around his throat like a mane, burning behind him in a streak of fire. He enjoys stealing rings, coins, and the like to reforge with his hammer into his own crafts. However he always melts them soon after making them, refusing to share with you. He’s honestly quite talented though!

Terrified Bunny (Common - Pet) It’s face says it all- Absolutely terrified. The little bunny is about the size of your hand and is a little fluff of black, paired with wide green eyes and ears that are always alert. It’s also shaking as if either cold or scared, but calms down with it’s owners touch. Makes the cutest cooing noises.

Mini Arachna (Mini Pet - Web-covered) This exact replica of Arachna, who had caused massive destruction in Norforva, comes with the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a woman. She walks with a pompous gait and always maintain a displeased face. Blood crystals appears all over her monstrous body.

Mini Treant (Uncommon - Pet) A treant, but dubbed down to the height of the middle of your shin and chibified. Has large, adorable eyes, but don’t be fooled- It loves to climb and destroy things. If around a mini Oakheart, it will attempt to climb and ride its back. (August 2017)

Diamond Hummingbird (Uncommon - Pet) As delicate in appearance as lace, but as strong as steel, the Diamond Hummingbird flutters by as it casts light every which way. Every part of it is made of diamond and the cuts of the crystal feathers sparkle brilliantly. It loves the chance to sip sweet drinks.

Spectral Whale (Ultra Rare Pet) This miniature whale is translucent and glows with a cyan-colored ghostly essence. It enjoys swimming through the air and blow spectral water from its blowhole. The pet is very laid back.

Lovely Potato (Common - Pet) A genuine Irish potato with a lovely golden skin and a protruding proximal end that has been dyed a beautiful shade of lemon yellow. The distal end has been meticulously groomed and a series of googly eyes have been pasted onto it. It trails after its owner with root-like legs that stumble and trip more often than not. This clumsy fellow will follow you to the ends of the world with large, admiring googly eyes and a curt smile that was placed on there with a scratch-and-sniff licorice marker.

Lame Fish (Common - Pet) A fish out of water (literally) who constantly struggles to breathe and move above land. Although it’s a perfectly normal fish in-water, this salmon will follow and flop to its owner with remarkable determination for an unintelligent creature.

Raven Mocker (Very Rare - Pet) A sleek, oily bird with ooze gliding off its wings. Ancient natives called it a shape-shifter, a witch, or by the name of Bigfoot. It stares into the soul of the dying and laughs at those burdened by the cycle of life and death. It stands free from the laws of nature and merely exists to spectate.

Incense Dragon (Uncommon - Pet) A solid silver, wingless dragon that is roughly the length of a bookmark. It curls through the air, using two small front legs to pull itself on the wind, with sticks of burning incense helds in its jaws. The smell is different to everyone, changing to match whatever brings them peace of mind.

Ghost of Winstersday Past (Rare - Pet) This hauntingly translucent ghost contains the memories of the past. The ghost itself floats around its master and dispense chilling snowflakes from its body. Although it holds no magical power, looking at the ghost elicit memories of the beholder’s past.

Black Tentacle (Mini Pet - Gaze) One of Titanius' writhing tentacles that has happily claimed many a life. Its flesh is an oily black covered in pustules that drip blood, acid, and black ichor everywhere it goes. It obediently flops hurriedly after you, making a variety of awful, wet noises with each movement. It latches onto anything that touches it and desperately tries to crush it to death. Luckily it's too small to be of any danger.
