LIKES:
- School Events
- Charms
- Purebloods
- Dressing Up
- Shopping
- Extra-Credit
- Sleeping
- Brody - her pet
DISLIKES:
- Mudbloods
- Unkempt People
- Getting Dirty
- Being fooled
- Second Place
- Portkey Travelling
STRENGTHS:
- Probably, Gwen's most useful advantage is her beauty. She can get away with being so horrible a lot better looking like she does. People seem to want to forgive her to save making her pretty face look sad.
- She never forgets, if you have a conversation with Gwendolyn, she will remember the most inane details. She knows a lot of names from people talking about them, which can often make people feel flattered that someone they hadn't formally met is aware of them.
- Manipulation is an assett to her. If she wants something, she has a subtle, usually harmless way of getting it. She rarely plays mind games, or manipulates people for anything other than frivolities.
WEAKNESSES:
- Although her facade leaves her seemingly emotionless, it is only because she is required to look like a lady - and that includes not screaming in the hallway or crying in class. She is affected by what people say to and about her, and an off the cuff remark can often leave her inwardly distressed.
- Romance is an easy way to get Issy to do what you want. If someone who she takes a fancy to romances her, she will become infatuated and do more or less anything to make them happy.
- Her kitten, Brody. Gwen cares for this probably more than her sister, and if anyone should threaten the little cat she will be rather less than pleased.
HABITS/QUIRKS:
- Given that her hair is a mass of curls, she has a habit of pushing them back when they fall into her eyes about three hundred times a day.
- When Gwen eats, she will only eat one element of the meal at a time. She never mixes her food and can be quite particular as to how it placed on her plate.
- She has the tendency to bite on her lower lip regularly when listening intently or when distressed. She never bites hard enough to draw blood, but her lips are always liquorice-red because of it.
FEARS:
- Gwen is worried that someone will get close enough to her to make her behave like a normal, happy person, thus ruining her carefully composed facade.
PERSONALITY: Issy is cold, especially with other females. Her extempore wit and vast vocabulary mean she can be quite insulting with her words, but always in an under-hand manner. It isn't that she has a naturally horrible disposition, although most think she does, it is just a learned habit. She doesn't like just any male attention, and girls tend to dislike her, so she responds to how, she thinks, she knows they will react before they have a chance to. Those who don't know her well might defend her, as she can come across as bright and exuberent. This is because she isn't, generally, that awful to people on their first meeting, as she has no bases on which to decide her attitude towards them. Really, she can be a nice girl, it is simply a question of the right place and the right mood.
Although she can be cold, she still does take an interest in some people, especially boys she finds attractive. She will mostly learn to forgive some less appealing traits if someone is aesthetically pleasing, and is a hopeless romantic. It is easy to play games or get Gwendolyn to do what you want, as long as you romance her, or get someone to do it for you. When infatuated, she will do mostly anything as being in a couple puts her in a generally brighter mood. She will only insult people if they provoke her and usually tends to breeze about the place in a happy stupor. It is in her to be romantically mature, but having never had any experience of a proper relationship, a one entered into for the right reasons, she has no way of knowing this. She thinks being single is boring, but mostly only enjoys being chased, or the honeymoon period of a relationship. She never thinks about actual love, because she has heard, as every teenage girl has, what it entails - and it scares her.
Issy hates to lose, and so readily accepts most any challenge put to her, even if it is blatantly obvious that her losing will occurr should she accept. She is, under her blonde hair and angelic looks, a bit of a daredevil. If someone invites her to something a little risky, she will undertake it, and do everything in her power to win. Of course, if the challenge entails something which would go against school rules, she won't participate in it. She will merely persuade some unsuspecting student to complete the task for her, which leaves her hands clean, and the victory hers. Gwen has a shining school record on parchment, the students might tell you that she only looks good to professors, but to her, that is all that matters. As long as the adults roaming the halls of Hogwarts thinks she is a little angel, she will not reign in her behaviour.
As hot and cold as she is, Gwen still has a lot of friends, but very few that she feels especially close to. Opening up in any shape or form makes her feel vulnerable, a feeling which she hates. She doesn't care for others knowing about the innermost working of her mind or her feelings, and so doesn't relay them to anyone. The sixteen year old has mastered the art of changing the direction of a conversation without evidence, but some people notice her reluctance to open up. Gwen can often become defensive should anyone persist to ask her about her emotions, and this is when she gets irritated and will often say things she doesn't mean. Usually, she wouldn't care, but it is the people who notice this that she doesn't want to hurt.

MOTHER: Vittoria Isolde Le Bonne (Nee:Gray)
FATHER: Eros Alexander Le Bonne
SIBLINGS: An elder sister, with whom she does not get on
OTHER FAMILY: None of importance
HISTORY: Eros Alexander Le Bonne was born into a wealthy family, pureblood, of course, and their only child save his twin brother Noah. Eros and Noah were more or less the same, both highly competitive, especially with each other and both cunning. Eros was introduced at a yong age to Vittoria Gray, the only daughter of his parents' best friends. She was an attactive little thing, with golden hair and dark eyes, with a love for the large gardens at Eros' house. The two were great friends, although Eros used to tease her, but all in good faith. The two of them would play together regularly, and it was this way as they grew.
Eros Le Bonne and Vittoria Gray were married in a fairly grand church wedding near their home in Belgravia, London. The pair had not exactly been arranged to marry in infancy, just forced to spend most of their free time together. Their families didn't want to force their union upon them, rather just encourage them to make it happen. Although the two didn't have any deep, meaningful collection, they were both fairly shallow and each of them good looking. Their relationship wasn't built on profound love, but they took comfort in having an attractive, intelligent spouse, and were content. After no more than two years of marriage, Vittoria fell pregnant for the first time, giving birth to a baby girl just short of nine months after.
It was not two months after the birth of their first child, that Vittoria was pregnant once more. This time, they gave birth to another daughter - Gwendolyn. She was a beautiful child, with milky ringlets and bright, inquisitive sage eyes. She was more active than her older sister, she would roam in the garden with her mother, picking flowers, or enchant her family by singing to them so that they clapped and praised her. It was obvious, even from an early age, that Gwen's older sister was the black sheep. Gwen herself resembled her mother a remarkable ammount, which was a very good trait to have. The two girls went through their junior school education without any abnormalities. Issy was always a popular little girl, the favourite of many teachers, while her older sister remained quiet and kept to herself.
Just before her first year, Gwen went, with her mother, to collect all of the things she would need for her Hogwarts education. Although the expense wasn't small, Vittoria was not prepared to have her family using second-hand equipment. Aside from that, they had more than enough money to be comfortable spending so much on her needs. When Issy arrived, she adored it. The wizarding world was so much more exciting and exhillerating than her muggle education had been, and although her parents had told about 'mudbloods' and such, she enjoyed it largely. She was still a popular child, although she could be a little curt, and put all her effort in when in class.

HAVE YOU READ THE RULES:
SECRET WORD: mallypwnsyou!
ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:
Book hovering above her head to keep the rain off, Gwen danced across the courtyard, her light footsteps sending tiny droplets of rain into the air as they thudded lightly on the pavement. It had been raining for the past three hours - since before Gwen had woken up, and she wanted to get to her classroom before it started to rain any harder. Slipping between a large oak door and it's frame, she stepped inside just short of the door shutting on her. Shaking her curls out, she ran her fingers through her tresses once, making sure her hair was still dry. It was partly out of vanity, partly because the mass of curls atop her head could hold a lot of water, and it wasn't very practical having rain water dripping all over your herbology text book. Satisfied that only a strand or two had been caught by the rain, she smoothed down her robes and continued forward to ward her intended detination - her herbology classroom.
The class wasn't due to start for another fifteen minutes, but she would have done anything to get out of her dorm room. The girl who slept in the bed across from her, Cassidy, had been whining and flouncing about the space since she had awoken. Apparently, she had a paper due for her Charms class - which she had not done. She had whined and stressed, and tried to write the paper before the class, but it hadn't worked. Well, Issy had no sympathy for the girl. If she was serious about achieving anything whilst at Hogwarts, she should have done it beforehand. This is what she had told the girl, and it had been the only thing she had told her all morning. Cassidy was so impossibly over-dramatic that Gwen rarely had any in-depth conversations with her. She just irritated her, always something wrong.
Waiting in the hall way, she pressed her back against the cool stone, gaze somewhere outside, peering through the droplets distorting the window. There students trapsing the halls now, still dazed from being asleep, their robes pulled tightly around their necks to keep the cold out. It wasn't too pleasant a morning. Across the hall, the door to a divinations classroom was opened. It stopped, slightly ajar, as two young students, no more than twelve years old, looked over their shoulders, checking for the absence of teachers. After a few seconds, the couple edged forwards, the closest one looking into the class room to check no one had occupied it. Arching a brow, Gwen weaved slowly through the stream of students, stopping next to the divinations classroom.
"What are you two doing?" she queried, arms folding and her tone bored. Pranks really weren't her idea of fun.The door clicked shut as the first student let it go, glancing to his friend for an answer. The little girl looked back to her friend. "Uh, we - we wanted to see." she said, a hopeful look on her face. "To see if our professor was in..." he finished, seeming satisfied with his explanation. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, and she leaned forward slightly. "And why is that?" she asked, mock interest in her voice, as if she didn't suspect the two of doing exactly what she knew they were. "Uhm, no reason...?" the girl almost asked. She exhaled sharply, laughing lightly. "Wait outside the classroom until your teacher arrives." she said, biting out the word wait. She pair nodded sheepishly and leaned against the wall. It was at this time that her herbology teacher busseled around the corner and opened the classroom door. With one last scathing look, she turned blithely and danced over to her class.
