.:Name of Character:. Elena of Gawant .:Nick Name:. None .:Age:. 20 .:Race:. Gawantian .:Status:. Royality
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Elena is a rather beautiful girl, but only if she takes care of herself. She stands at a decent 5’6, and that is without the assistance of shoes, which is a little above average for the girls of that time. Her trade mark might be her wild mess of dirty blond hair, which is usually pulled back in a messy up-do to keep her over grown banks out of her face. Elena’s skin is of a very fair complexion that goes along with her blond hair. As for her eyes, they are quite large and expressive, like a doe’s, and are of a dark blue green coloration. Her stature is rather average, but she keeps in shape easily from horse back riding.
Her style of choice is usually lain out for her by handmaidens. They are usually dresses that are rich and color, and full of lace and frills. The color of choice usually appears to be various shades of yellow. Whether her handmaidens know about it or not, on occasion, she does wear riding pants underneath her dress so side saddle is not the go-to riding style that most women have to use when wearing dresses. Around her own castle, Elena is prone to walking around bear foot or in riding boots rather than in heels or other elegance shoes for she does not feel comfortable in them. .:Height:. 5’6 .:Portrayed by:. Georgia King

.:Personality:. While a princess, Elena is not like most of them. Elena is rather loud and can be considered obnoxious at times by other royals. At times, Elena does notice this and it can affect in how she handles the situation at hand, either retreating back or trying to find another way to change up the conversation. She is rather strong willed and stubborn, especially when it comes to being told of what to do and how to act. Although, Elena’s resistance against these demanding is usually half hearted, most notably against her father King Godwyn.
At times, Elena senses that she is different from most princesses and this can discourage her and cause her to either put herself down or give up easily. The only thing that she does have confidence in is her horse back skills and at times, she can be rather full of herself regarding horses. Despite this though, Elena does have a rather kind heart and all what she wants to do to please those who care about her. Elena is always most content in life when spending time with her father or in the saddle of a horse. .:Strengths:. Horseback Riding, Fearless (never afraid to take boys on in their own sports), and she has a good heart. .:Weaknesses:. Lacks self confidence in herself, stubborn (mostly about girlish things, eg. Wearing high heels), and socially awkward at times. .:Magic Abilities:. None .:Special Skills:. Horseback Riding- It is one of various joys that Elena gets out of life. She appears to have spent half of her life in the saddle and has developed strong skills in the discipline. Her riding skills have even impressed Arthur Pendragon himself (stated in episode The Changeling). .:Accents:. English accent, while of higher class, some of her words are still more over exaggerated than others.

.:Birthplace:. Gawant .:Family:.King Godwyn (father), Queen of Gawant (deceased) .:Occupation:. Princess of Gawant .:Current Location of Residence:. Gawant, but does travel to Camelot on occasion. .:History:. Elena was born into the royal family of Gawant. Like Arthur Pendragon, she never got to know her mother because she died at child birth. Even with this separation though, Elena has still heard stories about her mother. At Elena’s birth, a sidhe came and processed her, making her, unknown to everybody, including herself, a changeling. Soon, she got a nurse, by the name of Grunhilda, who actually was a servant for the sidhe’s, took care of Elena and made sure that the sidhe inside of her would be kept at bay until her planned marriage with Arthur Pendragon.
The princess of Gawant grew up into a rather tomboyish girl, who took more interest in horses than flowers. Due to her changeling status, Elena was often very clumsy (she would trip on stairs and even herself) as well as has bad mannerisms, especially when eating at the table. Soon after her 20th birthday, King Godwyn and King Uther of Camelot decided to plan their children’s marriage to each other in order to hold up an alliance between Camelot and Gawant. Unknown to them, neither Elena nor Arthur were pleased with these proposals but were simply going along with the idea of pleasing their fathers.
During her stay at Camelot, it was Merlin and Gaius who discovered her status as a Changeling. Right before Elena was to go walking down the aisle, they gave her a potion which forced the sidhe out of her system and Merlin killed it. With the sidhe gone, Elena was practically cured of her clumsiness and she felt much better about herself both physically as well as emotionally. During her wedding, both her and Arthur broke off the engagement and explained to their fathers that they would rather marry out of love rather duty, and that the truth was that Elena had no feelings for Arthur, nor did he have any for her.
Despite the end of the arranged marriage, both kingdoms left on good terms and the alliance between Gawant and Camelot was not in jeopardy and would be upheld throughout the coming years. Seeing the courage and wisdom that she held, upon leaving Camelot to go back home with her father, Elena realized that her story was just beginning.
