## Out-of-universe information

### Speaking debut

*War of the Ender Kingdoms (Trailer)*

**Gwendolyn**, the **Archenchantress**, was a minor Ender Lord, leader of the  End Witch Coven and the founder of the Overworld Coven. She is the main protagonist of the upcoming War of the Ender Kingdoms series, and girlfriend of Isaac at the time.

## Design

Gwendolyn is an average-height Enderkin with long, braided, blonde hair that falls down the front of her body to around her waist. She is dressed head to toe in a Coven-style outfit; black with magenta strings, a golden gemstone near her sternum attached to her dress, grey stockings and short, black boots. Her eyes are the normal Ender Eye of her species, but differently of most, she has pointed elf-like ears.

### Conceptualization

Despite not appearing in the series or having had a canon design, Gwendolyn has several fanmade appearances created by a variety of artists. The most consistent traits were:

* Dark purple hair
* Dark black clothing with a cape
* Ender Eyes
* Pink ribbon/string/lace of some kind on said black clothing

When her canon design was finally revealed, it was mentioned that artists Tuxel, Dreams The End Warrior and Vin had all inspired the design in some shape or form. The 'fanon' design traits were consistent only in the latter three points, as Gwendolyn was revealed to be blonde like Elise. In his reveal, Rainimator explained the reasoning as follows:

The skin design was conceptualized by Dexter Kronos, in which she cited not only the fanon drawings, but Lilith Clawthorne from *The Owl House* as key inspiration. Her cape was taken from the Orchid Fleet banner competition, made by 'Yee', the top runner-up, and her staff was made by Old Chad Roman.

### History

Gwendolyn was a powerful End enchantress, and became one of the End Lords whose kingdom protected one of the End Crystals.

#### *War of the Ender Kingdoms (trailer)*

During the trailer, Gwendolyn told the story about the Ender Kingdoms, including Lance's conquest. She named herself as a Grand Sorceress of the Ender Watchers who will fight against the Lance's tyranny with her family and the Ender Watchers.

### Aftermath

After the war, Gwendolyn established the Coven in the Overworld, and would presumably pass away either before the series began or during Infernius' attack.

## Personality

From the very few promotional renders that exist of her, Gwendolyn can best be described as a curious and perky individual, who can switch into a 'game face' within seconds. She is quite creative with her magical weaponry and abilities, to the point of her being dubbed the "Archenchantress". As the leader of both the End Witch Coven and the Coven, she has to be good in strategy and a caring leader. This is best shown when she joined forces with the Ender Watchers for a common good for all Ender Kingdoms.

## Skills

―Rainimator on Twitter

As the founder of the Coven, her skills involved a capacity for powerful Arcane Magic, including Arcane Blades and Arcane Bullets. Being an Enderkin, she is also faster, stronger and possesses a longer lifespan compared to humans. Her powers before the War of the Ender Kingdoms is largely unknown.
