"Gwenyth was... an oddity. She looked normal enough, except for one thing. She had the bright red hair, freckled face, and fair skin that was normal for her people. But her eyes. Her eyes were normally storm grey but every now and then, when she was particularly excited or angry one could swear that they flashed an electric blue like lightning across a cloudy sky." Gwenyth has always been different, but she never quite understood how different. During her Passing, events will be set in motion that will cause her to truly understand where she came from, and where she was going.
