Background:
Gwenllian Faa is a young gypsy girl. She was born to a poor
gypsy family who wandered
from village to village in a caravan selling wares and fortunes. She was
blind from birth but her
parents had not the heart to destroy her as was their custom. When she was
five, a raiding party
attacked the caravan and killed her parents. Lost and blind and alone, she
wandered into an
encampment where a travelling priest took her in and cared for her. He told
her many stories and
taught her all the classics and about philosophy of Socrates and Aristotle.
Eventually the old
priest died leaving her his donkey, Socrates. She then began her own lonely
life of wandering from
village to village singing for her keep and telling stories and advising
those who would seek her
out for comfort.
Personality Profile:
Lian, as she is known to those who dare to befriend
her, is very loving and
sweet even though life for her has been harsh. She is caring and forgiving
and wise beyond her
years as life has taught her much in her short life.
Physical Profile:
She is small and pretty, but not overly beautiful. She has
long, dark brown
curly hair and tanned skin. Her eyes are grey and cloudy, as she has been
blind from birth.
Skills and Abilities:
Being blind she hasn't many, but she has a lovely
voice and earns her keep
by singing and telling stories as she travels from village to village. She
also has a way with
animals and with listening to people's troubles.
Special Notes:
Lian is blind and travels from village to village singing and
telling stories to
earn her keep. She travels with an old donkey which she calls Socrates. She
is quite learned
having grown up with a Roman priest.
