Summons
Lily
Lily is an emerald carbuncle, and Ceridwen's first summon. She's overweight and a food thief, much to Dwen's dismay. Her regular attempts to exercise the creature are often undermined. Friends who think Lily's adorable behavior often reward antics with treats, when Dwen's not looking. Lily is quite attached to her mistress, however, and is quick to leap to her defense, when present for violent situations.
Fea
Fea is Ceridwen's faery, and her most recent summon. Fea has a mischievous streak a mile wide, and a penchant for swiping small shiny objects, which she gifts to her mistress. They are still working on their bond, and so Fea sometimes disobeys Dwen. But when it comes time to heal someone gravely injured, the faery responds quite naturally to her calls.

PC Rumors
No rumors from other players yet? Sad.
Ishgardian Nobility
As a minor noble, her house doesn’t merit attention very often. And that’s how they prefer it right now. Most houses view them with an air of distrust, due to a brush with accusations of heresy around twelve years ago. There are a few houses that treat them neutrally or kindly, after all this time. But not many. Other nobles close to her age may have been friends with her and her brother, prior to the heresy incident. Most would have turned away when it happened though. There also would’ve been tutors of varying kinds.
Heresy Incident
Dwen would’ve been introduced to a number of priests, inquisitors, and knights, during the three months that her House was under investigation. There also would’ve been plenty of people present at the Tribunal in which her family was exonerated. As well as business associates that turned away from their house, during this time.
Cheswick Shadowstar
Her disowned half-brother who became a heretic and all that mess. He was 19 when she and Sirus were born. He was a avid businessman. And he despised the twin’s mother, his stepmother, though no one in their family knew until the heresy incident. He was 34 when he was witchdropped. He had heretic associations, as well as Isghardian business partners who didn’t know about his heresy. These people may or may not be familiar with Dwen and Sirus.
Marriage Prospects
Dwen’s father, Integris, is low-key looking to find Dwen a marriage arrangement. Something that would look good for their House. With Dwen still studying in Vylbrand, matchmaking sessions are paused for the moment. But they will resume when she returns to Ishgard. Her hope and prayer in this regard, is that they find a lord who will allow her to continue her studies. Anyone who won’t can expect a lot of trouble.
Arcanist Guild
Dwen has spent a little over a year, studying in Limsa Lominsa as an arcanist. She has recently summoned her first faerie and is working to master that art. As such, she will have made friends, competition, and mentors in both those studies.
Camp Bronze Lake
Having transitioned fully into her studies as a scholar, Ceridwen was transferred to Camp Bronze Lake, to continue her studies. Under the experienced healers and medics of the Warmwine Sanitorium, she's been expanding her own skills, both in magical healing, and practical. While here, she will have studied alongside other fledgling healers, worked on healing soldiers and adventurers, primarily Maelstrom associated, and would've become familiar with those who work full time at the Sanitorium.
Gridania and Conjurer’s Guild
The arcanist guild sent Dwen to Gridania for a month, to learn the basics of conjury, to better expand her skills as an arcanist.
Ul’Dah and Thaumaturge’s Guild
Same as Gridania and Conjurer’s Guild. One month to expand skills.
Temple Knights
With her brother now being a knight, Dwen has a passing familiarity with those who trained and served alongside her brother, prior to her going abroad to study.
OOC & Notes
Hi! I'm a mid 30s stay at home sort. I'm in the Pacific Time Zone (west coast US). As a result, I'm three hours behind the usual east coast times listed for events and such. I'm often on during the day, before my family gets home from school and work. And then I'm on in late evenings (10 pm to midnight ish). If you want to hang out, rp, chat, or whatever, feel free to whisper me in game, or contact me on Tumblr!
