## Biography

### **History**

Born to Clan Lavellan, she was captured by slavers when she was 10 years old. Her unique coloring made her valuable and she was sold to House Quintus. Every night she would pray to the Dread Wolf for the strength and courage to leave Tevinter and seek out her Clan. When she came of age at 13 years old Magister Quintius took her to his bed, hoping to create a human child with her features. 9 months later a baby was born and Quintus's wish came true, a human boy, with white hair, and pale gray eyes. She watched in horror as he held the baby in his arms, a wicked smile on his face. She knew then that her prayers had come true, she had found the courage to run.

Nearly a year passed before she got the chance to escape, it was near the border of the Anderfels. She took her baby and ran, as fast and as far as she could, never stopping, bare footed, clothes tattered until she reached the city of Hossberg, just turning 15 years old. The madame of a brothel agreed to take her and her baby in, on the condition she work for at least 10 years. She agreed, she hated the work, but anything for her boy. He wouldn't have her life, she would make sure of that, she would protect him from everything; Her master, the madame, the whole of Thedas if needed. This she vowed.

### **In-game**

Gwyn was escorted to the Quintus mansion to discover that Songbird was still alive and in the care of Gwyn's half-brother, Orianus. Gwyn passed several days re-connecting with his mother, enjoying meals together and resting their bones in the manor's bathhouse. Their idyllic family life soured when it became clear that Orianus was manipulating both Gwyn and Songbird with blood magic mind control. Although Gwyn, Sares, and Andie were able to break his control over Songbird's mind, her long and hard life caught up to her and she expired. Gwyn laid her to rest in the baths before he burned the mansion down around her.
