Template:Guinevere Wells/Personality

Ever since her father rose to the position of Minister of Magic for the American Ministry, Guinevere was taught how to behave - they placed expectations on her, and expected her to meet them. She was proper and prim, never speaking out of line and always acting as the perfect child, and a great role model for younger children. The urges to talk back to her parents, to misbehave, to cause mischief simply weren't there. Nothing but the best was expected from Guinevere, and she always did her best to deliver it. But she couldn't have done it if she didn't learn how detach herself from people emotionally. Every time she was scolded, or called out on by her parents during the rare times they had together, Gwen felt herself retreat deeper into a shell - a shell that only two people have ever managed to break. Living under the watchful eyes of wizarding paparazzi didn't do any help, either. She was a porcelain doll to them - if treated harshly, she could break. It tired her, because nobody treated her like the normal person she felt she was. This was her encouragement to stray away from the wizarding world for a bit. She didn't need the media's shit on her anymore. Guinevere was, and still is a very bright girl, with ideas that surpass the laws placed by scientists coming way before her. With a bright and clear mind, Guinevere managed to graduate before time, and went to a mugge university. Despite her straying from the life her parents laid out for her, Guinevere continued to be a pristine young lady, who never spoke out of line. She's well-educated and well-mannered, to the surprise of many. Gwen is confident, but not to an overbearing point. She's passionate and hardworking, accomplishing anything and everything she desires - like the double majors, for instance. Even if disciplined, Guinevere is daring, not afraid to take risks for the better of no only herself, but society in itself. While she's elegant in the ways she was raised, she's also good-natured and thoughtful. While she's methodical in some ways, in others she prefers to have an open mind and be a free thinker. She can be firm in some decisions, and in things she knows are true for a fact, but can be flexible when she sees that her decisions will affect other people, whether it be positively or negatively. Guinevere is not a conformist - she'll do everything she can to be at the very top, and if possible, exceed even that. However, Guinevere is quite secretive. Having been raised by politicians, so to speak, lots of secrets ran in the family. And you know what they say - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Just how her parents kept both personal and work-related secrets ( like her father's scorching affair with the Head of Magical Law Enforcement, and later on a few of the maids ), Guinevere learnt to keep many things a secret - her sexuality, for instance. She's more than aware of the rumors that have circulated her before, but never has anything been confirmed. She tends to keep her personal life her own business, only allowing those closets to her - who have thus far only been two people - to actually take a glimpse inside her life. She's not a fan of airing her personal problems in the newspaper, much less something like national TV. No thank you, hun. Her secretive persona is aligned a lot with her wariness of the people that revolve her. Rarely does she ever act on her paranoid thoughts, but she is careful with who she spends her time with. She's seen employees turn their back to her parents and the American Ministry enough times to make Guinevere suspicious of those that come close to her. She never truly behaves on the thoughts, though. She just... keeps a careful eye on those she calls acquaintances. It's hard for Guinevere to call anyone a friend - if she does, then you must have been with her through some tough shit. She refuses to call anyone anything other than acquaintance, even if you're blood to her. Water's thicker than blood, anyways. She's a phlegmatic person - she's difficult to anger, but when you do, you don't want to be anywhere near her. You don't. The times she gets that pissed are rare, however, because it could involve being close to her, which is something she rarely allows. She knows and has perfected the art of being able to detach herself emotionally from objects and people alike, and it's a very prominent piece of her upbringing - had she not managed to do it, God knows she would have fallen deeper into her parents' clutches, and become something of a gold digger, probably. Her life never truly was shit, like the paps claim, and she doubts it could ever have been, even with different decisions, but she's glad that everything has worked out as well as it has - she doesn't regret not one of her decisions in her youth. Look how far she's gotten.
