==Persona==
Lady Gwenhwyfar Weale's early life was one spent as the daughter of a Welsh Lord. As such, she received a considerable education, as her curiosity knows no end. Drawn to both alchemical research and literary pursuits, she conducted a salon in her father's home. He allowed this once it became clear to him that it was less expensive to indulge her scholarly pursuits than to continue to allow her to maim, maul, and otherwise ruin any and all sewing projects. (She was once the talk of the household as she absentmindedly once stitched herself to a project, having to be cut free in order to go about her day.)

When the home-bound salons became less than satisfying, she in turn apprenticed herself to the great skalds and storytellers of the Norse, the bards of the Welsh, and the troubadours of the English. At one point, she took some time off from her literary studies and apprenticed herself to both a master baker and an alchemist - seeing little difference between the studies of the two, other than the correct application of mercury (not in food, obviously). Even after this, she continued traveling widly, and some might admit wildly, she collected the stories of all she came in contact with, trading her baked goods for their tales.

Having accumulated a sufficient amount of knowledge, she returned home to Wales and began to teach all that she would learn to any who would listen and many who, admittedly, would rather not. Eventually, she met the Notable Owain Weale, and immediately set about arranging to attach herself to him permanently as he made the finest ale in the land. The populace glad attended their glorious union as it was, and is, currently impossible for Gwenhwyfar to rant about literature while simultaneously drinking. Currently, she makes her home with Owan, who diligently suffers her hunger for knowledge for she gladly feeds that of their stomach.
