What's a Gwendolyn Morningstar?

Gwendolyn Morningstar is my Dnd character of about 4 years now. This blog is specifically to reblog posts that I think match her aesthetic, but I can't promise that more general dnd stuff won't be reblogged to. You have been warned!

What kind of character is a Gwendolyn Morningstar?

In dnd terms, Gwen is a 15 lv. LG Half-elf Paladin of the Crown. In character terms, Gwen is an archetypical knight; chivalric, noble, and generous. She is awkward around girls she likes, prefers harsh honesty over white lies, and loves to sing and play her lyre. Her standards for everyone (including her) are a bit unrealistic, but Gwen believes that anyone can be a hero, and even more crucially, a good person.

Sorry, I don't speak dnd-ese. What's a 15 lv. Palindrome of the Crown?

15th level means she's in the upper ranks of dnd characters in terms of power, and has gone toe-to-toe with would be gods, eldritch monsters and ancient Dragons. A big deal, in short.

"LG" means Lawful Good, which for dnd means that this character is mostly benevolent, and believes that to be moral you must follow a code, the law, or some other external standard. Some people will tell you that lawful literally means "the law", and while there's no exact definition any player "needs" to follow, I found the above definition most helpful to my rping :)

Half-elf just means she is a product of human-elf relations, and is a hybrid between those races.

Paladins in dnd are warriors that draw magical power from their oaths, which in exchange bind that character to a cause or service. Most Paladins are religious, and Gwen is no exception. Her patron is Mïlil, the Elven patron goddess of music and art. Her oath, that of the crown, pledges her to serve her world's nations and their leaders, but she grows ever more and more conflicted to the virtuousness of that cause the more she sees of the world.

Is Gwen LGBT :3?

Gwen is a lesbian! Her pronouns are she her, and I haven't thought much on her gender. I would assume ciswoman, but maybe that might change? Who knows?

What's Gwen's Backstory?

Long and elaborate. Suffice it to say she lost what little remained of her family and home, and had to find them again half the world away.

Does Gwen have a girlfriend :3333?

In the campaign Gwen has pined after two characters, both of whom are player characters. The first was unrequited, and the second is still playing out. Will probs invent tags for them as time goes along.

What was Gwen's inspiration?

Gwen was inspired by a couple of different sources. The most prevalent is the association that I noticed (but by no means discovered) between lesbian culture and chivalric romance tropes. Chivalric romance stresses such things as devotion to the beloved lady and the virtue of love for love's sake, which are tropes that map on to how sapphic women talk and think about their lives. From that insight the idea of a sapphic knight just made so much sense. Things like Gwen's Pre-Raphaelite vibes and other things just followed on from that general idea.

Do you have other characters? Have you Dmed?

Yes to both! Too many to list, but right now I am playing three characters;

• Aesop Fableman - warforged and aspiring wizard. Very anxious but determined.

• Lukas "Lucky" Finch - Human Bard/Warlock multiclass. Stereotypical bard whore. Tried to cheat a deity and was Shanghaied into being an adventurer.

And yes, I have two games right now that I'm Dming. Expect some homebrew posted :3
