I was huffing it through the stingray strand on my way to the fisherman's haven, when I looted a tattered girl cape, salvage item, value 100.

It took me back to the pre-searing days and 'lil Gwen.

Anyone know anything about this? Is it just lewt, or could it be related to a quest?

Lots of speculation behind this one. My guess is that she's still alive. Either a Mesmer or a Warrior (watch what she says, you'll see the part about that), and probably deeply scarred by what happened. That's why I keep my handy Tapestry Shred with me, so if I ever happen upon her, I'll be there to show her who I am.

Could she be a W/Me or Me/W with great power... maybe she'll be an answer to peace.

Well I prety much convinced myself the pre-searing Gwen is broken.

After giving her a new flute and lots of flowers for the shred, she talks about her mom, Sarah I think.

Well I run into a Sarah at the fiisherman's village in regent valley, so I brought Gwen along...nothing. They didn't recognize eachother ;(

After that I've kept the tapestry shred in the bank and wondered what to do with it Xb

When young girls are abandoned by their parents (notice she never mentions Daddy) they sometimes do turn into prostitutes in later life, but not always.

Other popular occupations for them are stripper, porn star, and dope fiend.

She does mention her father. I forget exactly what she says but it's something about him being a great warrior and taking her on an adventure. Someone else posted that she said some other NPC looked just like her daddy.

Who knows, maybe she's just there to drive us crazy.

She says if her daddy were there he would cut the bull up into steaks.
Also, I still find it weird you can equip her flute... i wonder if it does anything.

Also, sh wouldnt be that much older... 2 years right? So she gives you a useless piece of Tapestry "Quest Item", and you find her broken flute in various places around what used to be ashford. A flute that you can equip to your left hand...

thanks for marking spoiler on this.

Anyway I liked having her tag along, gave her the broken flute and then bought her a new one, also gave her all the flowers I found and bought her the cape. She mentioned Sarah her mother as a healer, and her father, a great warrior who she wished to do adventures with later. She talks of her father warning her of the bull which I keep killing just for experience heh.

gwen in pre-searing is like a training thing to do with the henchman, when she starts following you round pre searing, she heals you.

i dont know, but here are my theorys:
1: she is a me/w
2: she died and is in the undeworld, in pre searing she talks about "mummy said i might meet him some day" about her father who died. so i reckon she is somewhere in the underworld, or will be put there soon. i think someone might be right bout the flute and tapestry, bout her reckonising you with them, i got both of em ^^

just my theorys

Gwen's broken flute et. al. are a secret weapon invented by the arenanet designers to counter forums with endless spam and failure to use the search button. =P

There is evidence showing that Gwen mayhave travelled with the refugees acrossed the Shiverpeak, like the tarted cape. But after that I have no idea what happened to her. Maybe she is now a boss in the undead army.

there is also a Sarah in ashford, before the searing.
Maybe that's her mother?

Am i the only one who likes Gwen!

Maybe in a next chapter you can play as Gwen, and you can ask to everybody "can i go with you" or " i think im going to follow you" or just for fun you say " ok i will stay here" and then you still gonna follow everyone.

well isnt that a great idea

Gwen will likely re-appear at a future date. She is too 'round' a character to just let go by the wayside. The mystery alone leaves a new chapter open for PvE.

Now if Pitney can make it ... I am sure Gwen has bigger plans. Until its release I will just hold off. But dont count her out ... just ... hidden.

Gwen is just a metaphor for the innocent girl inside all of us.

I found that but it doesnt salvage and it will not sell at the merchant, so all you can do it destroy it or hold on to it. Heck, its worth a slot in inventory just for the heck of it to see if it ever becomes useful... lol

Gwen is obviously the one who will bring an end to Tyra. She made short work of Ascalon... Haha... And you idiots thought it was her pawns... The charr. No no no... Gwen felled Ascalon... and she'll destroy Lions Arch... and then everything else in her way! She won't stop until everyone is anihilated and she can prance around a barren wasteland playing her flute!!!

Doesn't she use monk skills pre searing to heal you? Wouldn't that make her a monk?
