## Physical description

### Gender

Male

Gwenael is a young adult of 32 years old on present time, with many physical traits that marks him as one of the corvids favored by the Goddess of Deceit and Secrets that he usually keeps concealed to keep himself safe. He has short, messy black hair, fair skin and green eyes, and his feathers are a mix of predominant black with purple undertones and white, spreading sparcely through his body, even if he has the most on the shoulder and chest area. His wings are also black when he unfolds them, and he has taloned hands and feet, akin to avian ones. He likes to don nice clothing whenever he can afford it, with preference for white, green and blue; on his full form he can't wear proper shoes made for humanoid feet, so he makes do with feet guards.

He can shapeshift to a hooded crow form, with chest completely white as everything else remains black; the interior of the flight feathers has white linings as well.

## Personality

Generally speaking he is quite sociable, curious and friendly, with penchant for listening to tales and hearing gossip, as he craves information in any way he can gather it. He is very much a gossip himself, and sometimes that fact, even if usually harmless, leads him to multiple sources of trouble for himself, as he had learned the hard way he mustn't run his mouth off on certain places, as well as keeping some things to his heart only. Otherwise he is outspoken, always ready to listen and to talk someone's ear off if he is allowed to, and very empathetic, to the point that he is able to see other people's feelings and emotions and being affected by them, for better or worse. He has done his part to offer counsel and advice, if it's required as much of him.

## Abilities

As a chosen, he has been blessed with verbosity and eloquence, which helps him to reach his audience better. He possesses an uncanny insight and empathy that comes from being able to read the true feelings and bonds that people hold in their hearts, making him compassionate. This comes as a fault as well, because too many repressed feelings hurt him.

Unlike many other bards, he doesn't make use as much of music or singing, even if he can sing fairly well, but of scenography and sound effects to make his story telling more appealing.
