Backstory:
Gwenneth Mason was born Gwenneth Rosemary Tarkus, to a merchant family in Ul'Dah  She spent most of her early childhood slightly reclusive, shying away from people, especially strangers.  She mostly clung to the side of her brother Ferrous. Her father, being a Gladiator, encouraged the both of them to seek the path of sword and shield, but Gwenneth seemed hesitant to do so. She admired the Paladins that guarded the Sultana, as did her brother.   It was a private dream of hers to join their ranks. 


After the tragedy of the the Calamity, and with her father dead and brother MIA,   Gwenneth decided that it would be worthless to dream of paladinship if she did not act upon her desires, even if she could only be a sort of Paladin, and not a true one.  To supplement her evental entry into the Gladiator's Guild, she headed to Gridania in order to pursue Conjury.  Feeling that learning basic healing spells, as well as understanding of nature, might help her feel a bit closer to her goals.  Upon leaving, she decided to drop the name if Tarkus and opted to use her mother's Maiden name of Mason instead.  This because her father was not popular among Wood Wailers, and she didn't want to spark any more interest than she wanted.  She learned Conjury in Gridania, and found herself enjoying the trade.  She even made a new (and very strange friend) in Gridania.  A Lancer named Saran.  The two of them would go on a few adventures together, and Saran would help reunite Gwen with her lost brother.   Though eventually bidding a farewell to Gridania and returning back to Ul'Dah to enter the Gladiator's Guild.


At first, things seemed to be going well.  She enjoyed working for the defense of others.  Still, she felt herself.... lacking.  She didn't feel right in her place, even if being a Paladin was her dream.  Her mind constantly went back to the arts of healing.  


Eventually, she spoke her concerns out with her brother, who took a similar path (but was seeming to enjoy it more).  And the two of them spoke out a small revelation.  Gwen found herself enjoying the healing role.  Perhaps Paladin was not really what she wanted, but rather she wished to be a true healer.  Bidding a short farewell, she returned to Gridania to complete her studies as a conjurer.  


Gwen is now happy in her role.  As a Meek soul, she enjoys stopping to aid people, but does not shy away from conflict or danger.  You can find her wandering the whole of the realm, with either her allies, or on her own, seeking to find the next person to help.

  • Not a big fan of it to be honest.
