Children are annoying. Gwen is a child. Therefore, Gwen is annoying. She's the worst kind of annoying child too, she follows you around and tells you stories about her neighbor's baby and all sorts of other things nobody cares about.

And yet, it really irritates me that I get that tapestry shred and can't do anything with it, and find the broken flute and tattered cape later and can't do anything with those either. Unfinished business bothers me so

You could have zoned to Ashford Abbey and walked back to where you were in under 1 minute! Why'd you sit there for 10 minutes trying to get out?

We don't know that. She could be galavanting around in africa, and we'll meet her in chapter 3, as the leader of a rebel band of hand to hand martial artists.

Anyone here read Heart of Darkness? Imagine Gwen as Kurtz.

Well that is why they hate her then, because she gets them stuck in invisable walls.

I hate Rurik with a passion because he leads everyone into death, aggos and typicly taught all his bad habits to every wammo out there.

However Gwen my hatred is somewhat different. Her story is an open book with no ending. No one knows what really happened to her. I have nothing against her for that personally and enjoy when she's dancing around my heels.

What I do hate about her is getting stuck by her against walls, trees, creeks, ledges, corners... and anything else. Once stuck she doesn't move at all. Just stands there chatting about who she wants to be when she grows up and how beautiful Althea is. MOVE ALREADY! *maps back to town*

Anyhow, you don't actually have to give Gwen the Cape (oh yes) she will just suddenly give you the tapestry shred if you give her the 2 gold flute and a lot of flowers. Also, she suddenly will have the cape sometimes, even if you never gave it to her.

That's because you teamed up with someone who had already given her the cape. When you team with someone who has done more of the Gwen stuff than you, you end up getting "caught up" to where he is.

Yeah I like Gwen in fact she is like the only side character that i'm interested in and want to know what happened to her and her story and all that. If she came back in a different campaign as an adult or something I think a lot of people would get excited and intrigued to find out what's up. i know i would... *hint A.Net*

Gwen hates BETA players, because it's their fault that her mother died. She has tried to kill them all, but failed

Not true, there is a boy in post-searing Ascalon that makes an appearance when you escort the two ghosts back to the aunt that is taking care of him.

I personally think Gwen will make an appearance as an evil princess in a later chapter.

This is how Gwen vs Rurik would go.
Gwen "My mommy told me not to play with fire, but now she's dead!"
Rurik "For Ascalon!"
Gwen "If you don't get off me, I'll burn you, Rurik."
Gwen casts Spontanious Combustion and starts dancing.
Rurik quickly burns and falls flat on his face.
Gwen skips around his corpse.

Did you have a rough child hood? Kinda...bad? Did all of your friends burn other people and skip on their corpse?

Actually I didn't. I was out on my own, killing things, and suddenly she gave me it.

Also, a guild member of mine, who was on his first Tyrian Character, got the tapestry shred from Qwen, even though he never gave her the cape (and he was out on his own).

Gwen is the destroyer of worlds. It's a common misconception that the Lich had anything to do with destroying Tyria, but veteran players know better.

The Lich is just a bit player, a puppet oblivious to the fact that Gwen is holding the strings - and what is Shiro but Glints counterpart? A continent turned to crystal, could that be the work of anyone but Glint?
No, the only true Powers in the world are Gwen and Glint, master puppetteers deadlocked in an eternal struggle for power...

I like Gwen. I hope she returns, and I hope she remains mysterious.
