Queen Gwendolyn Navarre of Aragon
Kingdom: Aragon is a small but busy kingdom, on the coast of Mediterranean sea. (Later on provinces formed Spain as we now know it. I thought that our four kingdoms could be the parts of Spain.)
Background: Gwendolyn's father passed away at an unfortunately early age, not managing to seed any boys apart from a few bastards with no claim for the crown what so ever. Gwendolyn's mother had always been sickly, and decided that her 14 year-old daughter was old enough to take over the kingdom, for suitable wooers that would make a proper king were nowhere around. At first, the kingdom's budget went to hell, then they lost some land facing the southern border of Aragon, but slowly Gwendolyn became to understand how things work. Now, 6 years later, she is a considerate and just queen, but has still some issues in keeping with the budget.
Appearance: Like so many other royalties, Gwendolyn looks nothing like the people she rules over. She is as pale as milk, and easy to gain freckles. Her hair is young and yellow, not blonde but yellow, and thick, and by no means sleek. Her features altogether are not very ladylike. Without all the fancy fabrics, one would be easily fooled to think of her as a serving maid from the local inn. Gwendolyn isn't a classic beauty, but she has certain charm. Her eyes are shaped like almonds and blink blackness like the night sky.
Personality: Gwendolyn has never been very ladylike. She always enjoyed wooden swordfights with her playmates, rather than sewing embroidery with her younger sister. She enjoys spending time in the nature, and big hunting parties are a favorite of this young queen. She likes the finer things in life too, such as wine, music, dancing and feasts. She is known for her festive nature all over the four kingdoms, which annoys peasants and brings royalty to her. Gwendolyn likes to think herself as a quick witted and smart woman, but the truth is nobody just dares to defy her. She's not known for her merciful ways.
