The Basics[/font][/size]
Name: Gwendolyn
Nickname/Alias: Gwen
Species: Unicorn Mule
Gender: Mare
Age: 18
Group: Good
Occupation: She makes jewelry for the ponies of Ponyville!
Appearance[/font][/size]
Fur/Mane/Tail: Gwen has a pure white coat. Her mane and tail are also white, though she has dyed a streak of pink and red through her mane. Her mane is cut into a short 'hime' style.
Clothes/Accessories: She always wears a necklace and a matching tail band. She has a favorite set (pictured above), but she switches them out quite a bit. Wouldn't want her fashion to get stale!
Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is a silver ring with three pink to read stones beneath it.
Overview: Her build and height are the same as your average pony's. The only real difference is that her tail and ears are, obviously, more mule-like. She walks proudly, with her head held high, doing a good job of hiding her more soft-spoken personality. Her eyes are the albinic pink/red color.
Personality[/font][/size]
Personality Description: Gwen's personality doesn't completely fit her looks. She looks like a snobby fashionista pony, when she's really quite soft-spoken. She doesn't speak very loudly and tends to listen more than speak when having a conversation. However, if you get her started on fashion, she really comes to life. Her passion lies in jewelery and she can make some truly splendid pieces of art. While she's new to Ponyville and just opened her shop up, she hopes to become known far and wide for her beautiful jewelry.
Gwen shines far more brightly in her work when given free rein over a project than when given a strict pre-designed blue print. Of course, the work will still be of a quality that few can rival, but if you want a truly special piece, you may just have to trust her and only give her a short list of things that absolutely must be in the piece.
Gwen is absolutely terrified of rejection. Be it by others or about her work, it is something that she doesn't handle well. She is very much a perfectionist and, naturally, has pretty bad melt-downs when something goes even the slightest bit wrong.
She's also quite self-conscious about her ears. The only reason she doesn't try to hide them is a) she would have to have an unfashionably large hair-do and b) if she pretends they don't exist, then they will o away and magically become shorter! Right? No? Don't tell her that.
She is also very shy, and if you want to meet her, I suggest you wear some truly spectacular jewelry that she just can't resist talking to you about, or you are going to have to walk up to her and start the conversation. And while she isn't exactly looking for a relationship, she does get very tongue-tied and embarrassed around stallions. So don't worry, stallions, it's not you- she's just weird.

History[/font]
History: Gwendolyn grew up in Canterlot. She learned how to make jewelry and it quickly became the skill branded onto her as a cutie mark. Her dream was to open a jewelry shop that would become famous, known far and wide as the best shop in all of Equestria. But she couldn't set up shop in Canterlot. She needed to start fresh, where she wouldn't be selling to the very same ponies who teased her about being a mule as they grew up. So she packed up her saddle bags and traveled to Ponyville.
When she reached Ponyville in the dead of night, she stayed at the inn for a while, until she could get a shop of her own, with a home for her on top of it. Before she opened, she set to work, holed up in her home creating fantastic pieces of jewelry, promising herself that the citizens (or at least those who didn't run the inn and sold her the store) of Ponyville would not lay eyes on her until she was finished.
Now that she has finally finished her work and is ready to open shop, her doors are finally opening, and she is finally stepping out into the light to greet the citizens of Ponyville with her shy, but friendly smile.
