| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more Gwenyth Giselle Brocklehurst Model: Madeline Carroll Nicknames: Gwen, Gweny, Brocklehurst Age: 13 (soon) Date of Birth: 29th August Place of Birth: Limerick, Ireland Current Residency: Ireland Nationality: British/Irish Blood Status: Half Blood Relationship Status: Single Appearance Hair Colour: Gingery brown Eye Colour: Brown Height: 5ft1 Clothing Style: Gwen is quite feminine when it comes to her clothing. Often feeling at home in floral dresses and cute skirts, her clothes reflect the style that her mother used to wear in her youth. She's not really into fashion, she prefers to feel comfortable rather than fashionable but yet still looks suitable in her clothing, they compliment her background and personality well.
With hair extending down to her waist, Gwen's redeming feature is always well kept. It's often curled in ringlets, not looking out of place with various flowers scattered within its cascading lengths, but it wouldn't look odd long and straight or simply wavy. She's not particularly tall, nor is she exactly skinny, Gwen's body is perfectly proportionate. Her teeth are almost perfect but she chooses to smile mouth closed instead, perhaps as an indication of her shy nature. She likes to look immaculate however, most unpleased when dirt gets onto her clothes or when she causes tears and spills, often avoiding activities because of this.

Gwen was born to her Welsh father Rhys Brocklehurst, a Wizard that had attended Hogwarts and her Irish mother who liked to call herself Rainbow. A year and a half before she was born, and 2 years after her older Half brothers had first gone to Hogwarts, Rhys had lost the job he had been doing for half a decade, a career that he absolutely adored. Completely devastated over loosing his job and after breaking up with his original wife of 6 years, Rhys decided to move away from his home County in search of something else. He was offered a job similar to his old one in Limerick, Ireland but it would mean he'd have to start from the bottom and work his way up to the position he held in Wales. Most of his savings had unfortunately been sent off to his first wife in their messy divorce and with his earnings being very low, Rhys was forced to find a home that was going incredibly cheap. This was when he found a shared premises, or a Hippy commune as it was correctly known as, very near to his work so he could walk to and from.
Gwen's mother Rainbow has and will always be a hippy. Her relationships have always been slightly complicated, her first husband left her after finding out about an afair between her and an army captain. Despite the heartbreak she has been through, Rainbow still maintains her beliefs and bought her sons up in the commune.
It wasn't long after moving in to the commune that Rhys started a relationship and fell in love with Rainbow (That was what she liked to be called anyway) a woman with two magical children whom had already gone off to Hogwarts for their schooling. Although he was wary of her peace loving mannerisms at first, in fact he found her slighly weird and eccentric when he first met her, Rhys grew to love her personality and even started to believe in spreading the love himself. A year later and a baby was born. Gwenyth.
Four years after Gwen was born, Rainbow fell pregnant yet again, this time with twins. Adding another two additions to the household made things hectic as Gwen was left the only girl in a bunch of noisy boys.
Being bought up in the commune meant that childcare was distributed between all the adults in the home and that anything that belonged to you also belonged to everyone else. Gwen quite enjoyed it, as a baby she didn't get to see her oldest brothers that often as they were always at school and when they got the opportunity, moved out straight away. She loved being able to interact with the other children, which meant that she was very people orientated, also learning the values that her mother believed in. Her father however didn't want her to loose her Welsh roots, therefore choosing the name Gwenyth and teaching her the native language. She generally didn't get out much, mainly because all the friends she had were staying in the same house as her, which meant that she isn't the most World wisely of people.
She was 12 when she first started showing any magical ability, managing to levitate a book she'd gained off of her oldest brother Jude and bring it towards her. At first she stared in shock, only realising that her father had seen all a few minutes later. He was pleased. His daughter was exactly like him. That summer she received her Hogwarts letter and although she's apprehensive, she is quite looking forward to following in her big brothers footsteps.

Gwen spent her Primary years, from the age of 4, being educated by the adults in the commune rather than attending a primary school. She was taught the same subjects as muggles did, especially as she had not shown any magical talents at that time. Her best subjects were English and Art, proving to be both intelligent and artistic, although she tends to be better on the theoretical sides, but she seemed to have a talent with maths as well. Her worst was history, preferring to look into the future rather than the past.
Due to the fact she was quite a late developer, only discovering her magical talents just half a year before she received her Hogwarts letter, Gwen has been taught very little about the magical world, especially as she lived with a lot of Muggles. Though she does know the basics, having private lessons and conversations with her older brothers and with her father. Personality
Gwen's personality is difficult to explain. She is quite shy, adopting a slight stutter when she meets new people and often stumbling on her words. However, she is quite the peoples person, her social skills are definitely up to scratch. Once she gets to know you she's incredibly warm and friendly, taken from her mothers morals. But she has got a mean streak, something that the sorting hat has picked up. Underneath her innocent and seemingly shy exterior lies a rebellious child. Growing up in a house with a lot of brothers and a handful of other children, Gwen has learned that the only way to get attention is to do something big and brash. She took to being naughty behind peoples backs, even in front of the other childrens faces, but being the innocent looking perfect girl never seemed to get the blame. Her underlying personality is the result of trying to break free from the perfect world of the commune. Although life was fairly carefree and laid back, it did get quite boring, especially for an almost teenager. Most of the time, especially when you are someone she gets along with, Gwen's personality reflects her childhood but there are always those kind of people that get on her bad side. She is easily persuadable though, often as a result of being the only female out of a load of brothers. Her cheek and quick tongue also an outcome of her singled outness within her family community.
