## Biographical information

### Marital status

Married

**Duchess Glynis** is the former queen and ruler of Griffinstone alongside her husband, Lord Goldstone, the mother of King Guto, and adoptive mother of Grandpa Gruff and Grandma Gwyneth.

What happened to her is currently unknown, but given that she lived over 50 years before the present, when the Senior Group were children, it is most likely that she is deceased.

## Personality

Initially, Glynis was a prim and proper sort, taking a submissive role when it came to her and her husband, Lord Goldstone and generally letting him take charge, but had proven to be very independent when left to her own devices. She also proved to be authoritative and, when it came down to it, knew how to make herself respected. She's rightfully described by folk stories as wise and kind, particularly towards the wary urchin and poor Griffons who would pass and sometimes stay in the castle. She's demonstrated holding true to her values when she willingly welcomed Lady Gudgeon, a homeless Griffoness, in and gave her a place to stay in the castle and took in street children Gruff and Gwyneth, eventually taking it upon herself to adopt them as her children, alongside her own son Guto, thus making the three cubs adoptive siblings.

## Appearance

Glynis is a Griffoness with light grey fur, white underbelly, and dark grey wings. She has orange/yellow claws and beak, and wears a lot of jewelry.

## Relationships

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Gruff is Glynis' adoptive son and oldest child. After discovering that Gruff was a street urchin, Glynis felt sympathy for the young cub and eventually adopted him, along with Gwyneth. In his teens, while she praises Gruff for his skills, she disapproves of his and Guto's initial teasing towards Gwyneth, calling him for things to keep him from saying rude things to her and openly scolding him for making fun of his sister. Nevertheless, the two have a good relationship and Glynis expresses pride and joy when Gruff and Guto apologise to Gwyneth and begin teaching her how to hunt, happy to see her children getting along. It's revealed that Gruff's love for the caretaking of children stems from how Glynis took him in and raised him as her own, making him want to give other cubs a home like she had for him. It also likely that this is his way of carrying on her legacy.

### **King Guto**

Guto is Glynis' younger son and middle child. From an early age, Guto has had a close and loving relationship with his mother, who, unlike his father, was always willing to help him and let him talk about his feelings. In his teens, while she praises Guto for his skills, she disapproves of his and Gruff's initial teasing towards Gwyneth, calling him for things to keep him from saying rude things to her and openly scolding him for making fun of his sister. Nevertheless, the two have a good relationship and Glynis expresses pride and joy when Gruff and Guto apologise to Gwyneth and begin teaching her how to hunt, happy to see her children getting along.

### **Grandma Gwyneth**

Gwyneth is Glynis' adoptive daughter and youngest child. After discovering that Gwyneth was a street urchin, Glynis felt sympathy for the young cub and eventually adopted her, along with Gruff. Being her youngest child, Glynis treats Gwyneth with great affection, embarrassing her by kissing her often and calling her sweet names, and regularly stands up for her during the time her brothers were teasing her.

### **Glyn**

Glyn is Glynis' adoptive granddaughter and oldest grandchild. Although the cub's birth was unexpected and her daughter was still in her teens when she had her, Glynis warmly welcomed the little fledgling and was able to identify whose it was almost instantly. She found out about her before her children's plan to tell her about it began, bumping into the fledgling on the castle's hallways. Glynis was pleasantly surprised that her granddaughter was given her name. It's highly likely that Glyn was the only one of Glynis' grandchildren that she had the chance to meet before her passing.

### **Gruff's children**

Gruff's children are Glynis' adoptive grandchildren. Sadly, they don’t remember ever meeting their maternal grandma – but Gruff tells them about her one day when they look through an old photo album.

## Trivia

* She is held in high esteem by her eldest son, Gruff.
