Pro Gwyneth - Tumblr Posts
I was re-reading ACOSF and got to a simple conclusion halfway through it:
There's no way in Hel my bad b**** Gwyneth Berdara isn't going to have a story line in the next book(s).
fight me.
Beyond all the questions SJM left unanswered about her, such as heritage and possible powers, she has simply one of the most interesting and unique backstories in the series.
While most of the characters had their pasts already completely explained (even though some still need development), Gwyn's backstory mostly focuses on her trauma. While it's certainly something important and had a huge impact on her, there's still 26 years of story besides that.
Like, it's so so interesting. She is a priestess that grew up in one only-female environment with a half high-fae, half water- nymph mother that was too wild as a child. She had a twin sister, and it's a Great Rite child. It raises so many questions
Was her mother a good mother? Or she was too carefree given her heritage and didn't know how to take care of 2 kids?
How was her relationship with Catrin? Were they best friends or did they have troubles and fights between them?
How was her relationship with the other priestesses? Did she lose only Catrin or perhaps a best friend, a maternal figure in the attack?
Is she interested in discovering her heritage? Did the attack affect her faith somehow? How does she, as a born fae female, view mating bonds and other fae traditions? Does her nymph heritage affect her in other aspects of her life? Does she feel some sort of pull or belonging towards rivers and oceans? Who was she in Sangravah? How much of herself changed during her stay at the library? How does she view sexuality, considering her religious background? How did her mother die? Who taught her how to sing? Does she maybe feel she has some sort of power? How chaotic could her mind be?
Too many questions about a too interesting character.
PS: And can someone please tell me why tf is she considered childish?
