Gwendolyn

"Once upon a time..."
= Who is Gwendolyn =
Gwendolyn is a "human" who was first discovered in Orlandosaka, running frantically down the street away from something or someone. She was later encountered by officers, who helped calm her down and escort her to the Isekai Bureau.

= History =
Gwendolyn used to live in a fairytale-like world, with fairies, dragons and unicorns. She went on many amazing adventures with her best friend, Princess Mary. The two were practically inseparable, until one day, the Princess disappeared and never returned. Gwendolyn decided to search for her friend, traveling through many places until she came across old castle ruins. Inside, she was hoping to possibly either find the Princess or someone who would allow her to stay for a few nights...but what she found was much worse.
The castle ruins were home to many different princes and princesses of all ages, who had all run away from their homes. Upon Gwendolyn's arrival, they immediately began to verbally, emotionally and even physically bully her. They would force her to play their sick and twisted games, making her feel hopeless and terrible. Gwendolyn wasn't sure why they were doing it, or how they even knew who she was. No matter how much she asked, they refused to tell her.
Finally, one night, Gwendolyn was forced to make an appearance before one of the many princesses...one whom she had yet to see in this horrible place. She was shocked to find that it was Princess Mary herself, who proclaimed that Gwendolyn was too boring for her and was having more fun with her "new friends".
Appalled that Princess Mary would make friends with such horrible people who had put Gwendolyn through so much, the woman stood up for herself, yelling at the Princess and even outright striking her across the face, something she had never done in the past. As the Princess held her cheek, she shouted, claiming, "This isn't how the story goes!"
Around her, the castle suddenly began to be consumed in dark scribble-like masses, the sounds of paper tearing echoing around her. Gwendolyn ran as fast as she could, out the door...and right into a small room, where a man sat, holding the torn-up remains of a freshly-typed manuscript. 
The man (known as The Author to Gwendolyn) said that he wrote Gwendolyn and created the people and places around her. He said that he was going to publish her stories in dedication of his late daughter, but critics and publishers found the books "too boring for kids". Disgruntled and outraged, he took his anger out on poor Gwendolyn, completely turning her fantasy world into a grim, dark reality. He begged Gwendolyn to let him continue writing her story, knowing a "sentient creation" would make anything he would write far more interesting. Angered and afraid, Gwendolyn refused and ran away.
= Personality =
From what Gwendolyn has experienced in the past, she can be very anxious and shy. She has a hard time trusting many people, and it may be hard for her to make friends due to this. She has also been known to have low self-esteem issues, and can apologize too often, even for things she didn't do.
Despite this, Gwendolyn has a kind heart and is very gentle, having a soft-spot for animals and children. 
Gwendolyn can become panicked very easily depending on the people around her, the environment and the events happening around her as well. When she becomes overwhelmingly panicked, she will grow frantic and try to run away as fast as she can, but will often stumble and fall over her own feet, becoming dizzy and disorientated. Even when she fights, she is still clumsy and not as skilled, even covering her face with each slash she makes with her knife.
= Abilities and Skills =
* Gwendolyn, being that she comes from a land of fairytale logic, can sometimes do things normal people cannot do, such as speak with animals and plants (or even objects), see through certain illusions, etc.
* When Gwendolyn gets hurt, all she has to do to heal is eat something sugary and sweet, like candy for example. 
* Gwendolyn will always appear as a sketch whenever she's filmed or photographed.
* Whenever Gwendolyn if given something or finds something to keep, the object will appear as a two-dimensional sketch to other people except herself. For example, when she was given an apple by Kirby at the Lying Fork, it turned into a two-dimensional sketch. As she took bites out of it, it would make a soft ripping noise like paper and suddenly appear like it had a cartoonish bite taken out of it.
* Gwendolyn's clothes often have pencil lines on them, almost like they themselves were sketches becoming three-dimensional. The material will feel like paper, but will still be as efficient as normal clothes. 
* Gwendolyn does keep a kitchen knife on her as protection. Even if it appears like a two-dimensional sketch, it's still extremely sharp like a normal knife.
= Trivia =
* Gwendolyn is fearful of many things, some of which are a result of the constant bullying she was put through. This includes loud noises and yelling, rats and bugs, closed tight spaces, and fire. 
* Gwendolyn doesn't seem to react much to insults, either agreeing with them or just apologizing to whoever is insulting her.
* When Gwendolyn ran away from The Author, she discovered she was carrying a manuscript on her person. The first few pages read off like a story, saying how she ran away, but the rest of the pages were blank. The pages continue to write and illustrate themselves as days pass.
* Gwendolyn can sing, but is often too shy to. She can also play the piano and the violin.
*Gwendolyn claims to be a human, despite what she is capable of. She has also shown she doesn't function like a normal human (not needing to sleep, eat, drink, etc.).
