Personality: At first glance, Gwendolen is a cute, talented, pretty, confident young British girl. However, she is highly ambitious, brash and selfish, and tends to expect people to acknowledge her talents and to get her way, fueled by all the attention she received growing up and being said that she's destined for power. She can be prone to tantrums and holding grudges to those she who she finds wrong her, if sometimes when they just disagree with her, and can by quite sly and manipulative, whether by charm or blackmail, using others to suit her own needs, especially her younger brother Cat, who really looks up to her. Her behavior towards Cat alternates between a motherly big sister to harshly bossing him around. She actually doesn't seem to care much for him, not minding at all about sacrificing him at the Archway. However deep inside she knows she needs him, not just because he's a source of her power, but because she really does love him.
Despite her bratty nature, Gwendolen can hold the image of a sweet charming girl well when needed. When meeting new people, she usually acts coolly polite, her level of arrogance depending on how worthy she expects them to be and how important they would be to her. She can actually often be quite lovely and ladylike, when in a good mood. She is always looking to improve her skills and insists on being taught the higher advanced levels of magic, feeling that she's passed the standard level. She's quite tidy and in fact a fairly good strategist, though in her brashness tends to let some of her plans and secrets slip. She is one of the kind of people who is planning to rule the world soon, and will stop at nothing to get her way, no matter the scheme. But when it comes down to it, she is just silly, spoiled, young girl whose overconfidence leads her to problems and villainous decisions.
Enemies: Chrestomanci, Michael Saunders, Julia Chant
Allies: Mrs Sharp, Mr Norstrum
Family: mother- Caroline Chant (deceased) father- Frank Chant (deceased) brother- Eric 'Cat' Chant, Christopher Chant (second uncle) Roger and Julia Chant (second cousins)
Role: circus worker, guest
History: Gwendolen comes from a world set in the Edwardian era and where magic is a perfectly everyday thing. Coming from a family of strong magical abilities, Gwendolen was a highly gifted young witch. But in reality she had been secretly leeching much of her powers from her loyal little brother Cat since childhood, who is unknowingly a nine lived enchanter.
After recently orphaned in a boating accident, she and Cat lived with their old neighbor for about a year, pampered by the townspeople, and Gwendolen received magic lessons from the local necromancer Mr. Nostrum. After some time he eventually involved her and unknowingly Cat in a plot to take over the world, which Gwendolen gladly accepted. Eventually they were sent to live with Chrestomanci, the most powerful known enchanter and a very powerful figure. Gwendolen was eager to use this as a step towards her success, but to her rage they didn't seem to think much about her and her abilities and treated her like an ordinary child. She began to pull magical pranks to get attention, including shoving a forest against the castle and turning a maid into a frog, but to no avail, and she became increasingly more angry and overzealous, the nastier side of her personality coming out. Eventually she managed to get her hands on illegal magical supplies including dragon blood, which she used to pull off her biggest stunt yet, summoning a bunch of grisly apparitions to disrupt a dinner party, which resulted in getting most her magic taken away, but she still had a few tricks up her sleeve.
That night she used another one of her brother's lives to escape to one of the parallel worlds, knowing she'd be better off there, and stranding an alternate self named Janet in her place.
Afterward, she found herself at the circus and was quite intrigued. She figured that somehow it could lead to her supposed destiny. She offered her talents and demanded that they let her stay.
Sample Post: Bleak rays of sunlight poked through the branches, illuminating the young blond girl digging through the bushes on the circus grounds.
"Honestly you'd think that a good magic material shop would be at my disposal, but no! Oh well some things need to be dug up yourself anyways.." She tutted and placed some roots into her basket. A circus was far from her kind of place she liked to be, it was so dark and gritty, but at least she was gone from that awful castle and those people. She could manage, and soon make her way to the top. Besides, she found keeping those poor cursed and ugly fools out for display was quite amusing! "I think this will do nicely! But I'll need to work on my advancement to rule this place. Perhaps I'll need to start with a loyal follower since my dim little brother isn't here... And convince them that I shall need the proper accomidations."
