## General Overview

Gwendolyn Skie is the 2nd villain to be introduced in Legends of Phandelver. She is a Warlock of the Living Storm and head of the Talon (sub-group to the Avian Assassins).

## History

While not much is known at the moment of Gwen's history, we only know a few facts from both a brief encounter by Hitori and intel gathered by Charlie.

Gwen is the head of the Talon, an elite group in the Avian Assassins that takes order from the Blue Phoenix, her codename "Thunderbird" comes from the fact her powers are all storm based. Gwendolyn hasn't been seen using her full powers due to the fact their first appearance was in a magical dead zone, but she has been seen being proficient in using scythes as weapons.

While she is a Living Storm Warlock, her patron in particular is unknown.

In the episode "Daddy Issues", it was revealed that she and the Assassins bought James Ishoos company, Dimensional Engineering Inc, and had hired James to develop a portal device for an unknown purpose. Gwen had followed the Legends into his secret lab to find the device herself. This was her first speaking role revealing she had somewhat of a German accent. She decreed a truce between the Legends and her that they would not assault each other after Daadi shot her. It turns out James had secretly left the project without informing the Assassins, which brought disappointment to Gwen. At the end she managed somehow to retrieve what she came for and left in peace.

## Physical Appearance

Currently she has been seen wearing a costume that has resemblance to the Thunderbird creature as a reference to her name and powers. This is been shown to be only a uniform when she out being an assassin, what her normal clothes look like hasn't been shown yet.

She has electric blue eyes that will flash a bright yellow when using her powers. Gwen's hair is a royal blue with a single side bang on the right side of her forehead. Her skin is a fair light blue with darker blue blush on her cheeks. The most notable trait for her appearance are the occasional lightning bolts that will surround her body in a quick flash. Arcs of electricity will will also occasionally emit from her clothes like a storm cloud.

## Personality

Gwen is a "straight to business" type of person, however she has been shown the ability to be more casual with people she has business with, though it may be just to get what she needs.

She has a friendly personality, but it is often clouded by her brashness and past actions. She even feels remorse and sadness when she finds out James had betrayed them, showing capability of feeling sorrow.
