**Gwendolyn Shadowwalker**, often called Mary Mertle or simply Gwen, is an omnipotent Shadow Walker witch who is the main antagonist of the **Ethereal Academy** roleplay in **The Friends We Made Along The Way** discord server. She is one of the only immortal species in history and has been titled the strongest to witch to ever live on many occasions.

She is the youngest of the Shadow Walker coven and currently, along with Lucian and Caroline Shadowwalker, are the only ones alive to this date. Gwen was born with significantly high potential in the art of dark magic which was amplified when she was bitten by the shapeshifter Ezra.

Gwen was born in Salem in 1460 and had a negative relationship with most of her family. After being bitten by Ezra, her coven started to notice her strength and power growing. Fearing that she would one day turn on her coven, the high leaders made a decision to terminate her.

The high leaders of the coven sent powerful witches to take her out however they failed and were taken out themselves by Gwen. Inraged by the attempt on her life, Gwen began to attack and kill her coven, including most of her own family. After most of the coven was destroyed and Lucian and Caroline Shadowwalker were daggered. Gwendolyn used the death of her coven to cast an immortality spell on herself and her remaining siblings under the power of the Lunar eclipse.

Mid-spell, Elias Shadowwalker managed to catch Gwen by surprise, stabbing her in the abdomen before she had a chance to fully complete the spell. However her death was enough to power the part of the spell that had already been completed, effectively resurrecting her and making her immortal unless shes under a Lunar eclipse. Gwen killed Elias and fled Salem for good.

At some point in time (most likely in the 1600s) Gwen undaggered her sister, Caroline Shadowwalker, and began searching for ways to finish the immortality spell. Upon learning that the death of an innocent life, a dark witch and a Shadowwalker were required. Caroline fled her sister in fear she would be sacrificed for Gwen to complete the spell.

Around one and a half centuries later, Caroline and a group of powerful witches now referred to as The Ancestors, tracked Gwendolyn and daggered her with the immobilization dagger and took her to Ethereal Academy where they planned to complete the immortality spell and kill Gwendolyn Shadowwalker, who they've all grown to fear.

During the spell, an ancestor accidentally removed the dagger from Gwen, awakening her and she killed all the Ancestors and daggered Caroline once again. Around this time, Gwen took the identity of Mary Mertle, a sweet innocent student who was talented at telekinesis. Gwen used this identity to get herself into Ethereal Academy centuries later.

## Childhood

Gwendolyn Thornheart Shadowwalker was born to unknown mother and Elias Shadowwalker on December 3rd, 1460. She was the sixth and last child to be born to Elias. She was known to be exceptionally powerful from a young age, random witches in the streets of Salem would comment on her aura when she was a baby/young child, something which occurs rarely.

Gwen was taken care of her brother Lucian more then her father as Elias was constantly out at work, and she grew quite close to him. When she turned 10 however, she grew more close to Caroline as she began to not like boys due to the constant torment and neglect that her other brothers, Credance and Atticus gave her. She still loved Lucian though, but she was closer with Caroline.
