When first approached, Gwenny often comes across as quiet, reserved young woman. To an extent this is true, Gwenny is extremely shy around people she has yet to become acquainted with, but this nervous façade melts away once she begins to feel at peace around the person. Compassionate and devoted, Gwenny is an extremely loyal friend with a heart of gold. She will do anything anyone asks her to the best of her ability, and always seems to feel guilty if she cannot fulfil their demands. However, ‘sorry’ is a word she can never quite seem to muster. Maybe it’s her pride that forbids her from spitting out an apology, or maybe it’s just because she’s stubborn. Whatever it is, Gwenny has never been able to pin-point the cause of her defiance.
Gwenny is in almost every sense a girly girl; she loves animals, fashion, beauty, dancing and boys. However, this trait also gives Gwenny a degree of naivety, which becomes apparent every time she is thrown into a new situation. She readily wears her heart on her sleeve, which she sees as a blessing as well as her curse. On one hand, her emotion allows her to tune into and read other peoples emotions well. On the other, this trait makes her extremely vulnerable and subject to persuasion.
Despite her almost childlike naivety, Gwenny is surprisingly intelligent. She is especially talented in English and Drama, where she excels with a gift for story-writing and portraying any mood which is asked of her. However, any subject to do with logical thinking just washes over Gwenny such as Maths and Physics. In her opinion, they’re not important anyway. After all, what is the use in knowing the theorem of Pythagoras and the formulae for the sine of an angle when you don’t know the words to explain it to somebody? In Gwennys eyes communication is key, not what you know. Optimism is a thing which Gwenny holds in abundance, and always sees the bright side of things; she‘s the sort of person who, if their arm had to be amputated, would just be grateful they could use their other arm. Even when somebody has wronged her, she always finds a reason to forgive them, no matter how unlikely it is. In short, she cannot push the blame on anybody but herself.
Despite being so pleasant and mild mannered, Gwenny has a mischievous, almost devious streak to her. She often finds herself in trouble at school and has had more than one encounter with the police, though she never intentionally does things to get herself into trouble. Ninety nine percent of the time she is defending her friends or trying to set something right, but things like that are not so easy to explain to a stern looking police officer in a room so cold and stolid as an interview room. When under pressure such as this, Gwenny tends to freeze up and recede within herself. Depending on the severity of the situation, it can take up to a week for Gwenny to get back to her normal self. To help her nervousness Gwenny often goes on long walks in the twilight, just to listen to the faint lullaby which nature presents. One of her favourite haunts is a small woodland area nearby, where she enjoys picking wildflowers and finding birds nests. Gwenny likes nothing better than to sit with her back next to an oak, watching the sun cast hues of orange and red over the land as it sets.
As for her temperament, most people who know her would describe Gwenny as level-headed. She has the uncanny ability to stay calm in a conflict, but still show an opposing person how she feels though her body language and the look in her eyes. She is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, but she does not fully accept that everybody’s life is paved out for them. Because of this, Gwenny avidly tries to stay on the good side of everybody and make the best of her life, though this sometimes is interpreted but others as kissing up to people for her own benefit. Again, she does not blame those people for thinking such thoughts, but she makes no active effort to change her mannerisms. Gwenny is Gwenny, and nobody can change that fact.

The physical trait which usually attracts people to Gwenny is her unusual eyes. She has a condition called Heterochromia - where each iris is a different colour. In Gwennys case, illness in her youth cause her to have one ice blue eye and one bottle green eye. The cool colours of her eyes are complemented and accented by her rustic, multi-tonal auburn coloured hair which has a natural wave and falls just clear of her tailbone. Gwenny takes pride in her hair, and takes extremely good care of it. As a result, her locks appear soft, smooth and shiny. For practicalities sake, Gwenny normally ties her hair back in a loose ponytail with a pink ribbon . However, this does not stop sections of hair falling out of the ribbon and over her heart-shaped face, partially hiding her infectious smile and her little button nose.
Gwennys skin has an almost creamy look to it, virtually flawless apart from a small birthmark that faintly resembles a bird. Her pale complexion forbids her from using brightly coloured makeup, but frankly, she does not particularly need it. She usually sticks to rich browns and skin-tone eye shadows, paired with soft black eyeliner and mascara. She wears no blusher, concealer or foundation, nor does she wear any lipstick, bar the occasional lip gloss. In her view, there is no need to accentuate her naturally pink, full lips.
Standing at five foot seven, Gwenny is thin in comparison to her height, only weighing in at 112lbs. With the small chest she possesses, Gwenny often wears padded or push-up bras to give herself a little more cleavage. From her collarbone to her ankles, Gwennys bones have a tendency to jut out awkwardly at her joints, especially at her elbows and her pelvis. Gwennys waist is even smaller, giving her an odd, bony hourglass-esque shape to her body.
When out of school uniform, Gwenny opts for casual, colourful combinations of clothes. She’s commonly seen in torn skinny jeans with a classic batman belt, a baby doll hot pink t-shirt, two-shades-of-pink polka dot suede kitten heel shoes and her treasured pink diamond necklace. When outside, Gwenny sports an ankle long, faux black leather trench coat. However, Gwenny often ties a long, glitter adorned silver strip of cloth around the waist of her coat to give it more shape. This also serves as a way of closing the coat when it’s cold outside, as the buttons on the coat had fallen off a long time ago.
As for her school uniform, Gwenny has tried to make it as personalised as she can without breaking the rules. The lapels of her blazer are adorned with buttons, each different shapes, sizes and colours to try and brighten up her dull uniform. She also wears stripy three quarter length tights under her skirt, accompanied with lacy black dolly shoes. Gwenny uses a black messenger bag with a pink rose patch sewn on the bottom corner to carry about her various books and her CD player.

When Gwenny utters the phrase “Love, the light from heaven. The spark of immortal fire that angels share. Lift me from my body and allow me to burst into the flames of compassion,” her transformation if triggered. Her gold necklace with a pink diamond pedant begins to glow warmly, splitting open like a rose to release wisps of shimmering pink smoke. As Gwenny’s clothes dissipate, the smoke takes on forms such as roses, celtic hearts and figures waltzing to cover her body. As the transformation progresses, these smoke figures smooth and fold into silk like sheets around Gwenny, embroidered what appears to be golden glitter which falls gracefully to the ground.
Suddenly, the sheets which clothe Gwenny burst into flames, completely encasing her in fire. The fire slowly begins to crawl up her body and above her head, revealing her butterfly form from the feet upwards. As her wings slowly unfold, Gwenny raises her arms and places her hands on the sphere of fire above her, pulling it down to about chest height. In one fluid motion, Gwenny pulls her hands apart, stretching the fire into a long cylinder. This slowly takes form of her bayonet, which she takes and sheaths. The last embers of the fire around her now recede into her necklace as it closes, a red stone now in the place of the pink diamond.

Gwennys butterfly outfit is nothing short of dazzling. She wears a pearly white silk halter neck dress tinted with pink, which decorated with gold embroidery around the hem and reaches just below her knees. Two ribbons wrap around the waist of this dress, one gold and one deep pink. They tie at the left side of he waist reach down to her calf before cutting off at an inverted arrow shape.
Under this dress, Gwenny wears an armless, skin-tight, semitransparent white bodysuit which is visible at her neck and her legs. Gwenny does not wear shoes when she has transformed, only a small golden ankle chain with a tiny heart charm on her right ankle. Gwenny also wears a gold glittery armband on her right arm, completing her outfit.

To those who see them, Gwennys moderately-sized wings could only be described as mimicking stained glass. Dark, thick lines run throughout her wings, creating a panelled effect. Close up, each ‘panel’ in Gwennys wings are coloured with different shades of pinks, golds and oranges. However, from a distance pink cherry blossoms on the upper section of her wings can be clearly seen. Gwennys wings shine in the light, giving her wings a glassy effect.
W e a p o n ;; [[Bayonet]]]
Gwennys most treasured weapon is her bayonet; a cross between a knife and a spear. The handle is red leather, decorated with tiny precious stones such as rubies and garnets in swirling patterns. The bayonets blade is extremely sharp, and can slice through virtually anything.

A b i l i t i e s ;;
Flight; The ability to fly. At great speeds, Gwennys wings become almost translucent as she soars.
Pyrokinesis; The ability to control fire. Gwennys can manipulate, extinguish and even ignite fire. This ability is probably one of Gwennys most commonly used abilities.
Equilibrium; The gift of exceptional balance. When focused, Gwenny can balance on virtually any surface. This cat-like quality is used regularly by Gwenny.
Pyromaniac; The ability of seduction. This is one of the least used abilities Gwenny possesses. Pyromaniac could be described as a form of hypnotism with Gwenny creating a swirling ball of fire which distracts her opponent, long enough for her to either make her getaway or attack.

Firefly Detonation; Once murmuring those words, Gwenny clenches her fists tight. After a few seconds, she opens her hands to reveal tiny, multiple flames. She then blows the little flames towards her opponent, which surrounds them in a firey haze. Then, with a simply click of her fingers, the small flames suddenly expand and explode around her opponent. This attack cannot be performed at close range.
Smoke Screen; This defensive move is only used in extreme circumstances, as it takes a lot of energy. With enough focus Gwenny’s whole body bursts into flames, even her odd eyes now fiery orange. This form only stays for a few seconds as when Gwenny screams the word ‘extinguish’, the blaze suddenly vanishes, leaving a thick black smoke which quickly expands to immerse her opponent in opaque darkness.
Dragons Flame; This attack requires Gwennys weapon, her bayonet, to be in her hands. Once the attacks name has been verbalised, a warn, golden light emits from Gwennys palms. As she grips her weapon, the light begins to run through her fingers, through the handle and into the blade. With this light, the blade slowly begins to turn to red, and then to white-hot. When damage is then inflicted on her opponent with the blade, their wound begins to burn.
