While her full name is Gwenivere, she goes by her nickname "Wyynne." She loves doing puzzles, whether it's cross-word puzzles, rearranging her apartment for the most efficient fit, or reading into everything. Sometimes her being too analytical about everything gets her into trouble and is partly the reason she can never get on a date. However, beneath that brainiac, cold-shell lies a vulnerable, fragile girl. She deeply desires affection from people and is willing to do whatever to obtain it.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
She is fairly rare, which is definitely a good thing for her, as there's nothing she'd be more unhappy about than being "common." She prides herself on her inventiveness and creativity, her unique perspective and vigorous intellect.
She is known for her brilliant theories and unrelenting logic – in fact, she is considered the most logically precise of her peers.
She loves patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to her. This makes it ironic that her words should always be taken with a grain of salt – it's not that she is dishonest, but she tends to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against herself rather than as actual conversation partners.
This may make her appear unreliable, but in reality no one is more enthusiastic and capable of spotting a problem, drilling through the endless factors and details that encompass the issue and developing a unique and viable solution than her – just don't expect punctual progress reports. She isn't interested in practical, day-to-day activities and maintenance, but when she finds an environment where her creative genius and potential can be expressed, there is no limit to the time and energy she will expend in developing an insightful and unbiased solution.
Wisdom Begins in Wonder
She may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but her thought process is unceasing, and her mind buzzes with ideas from the moment she wakes up. This constant thinking can have the effect of making her look pensive and detached, as she is often conducting full-fledged debates in her own head, but really she is quite relaxed and friendly when she is with people she knows, or who share her interests. However, this can be replaced by overwhelming shyness when she is among unfamiliar faces, and friendly banter can quickly become combative if she believes her logical conclusions or theories are being criticized.
When she is particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as she tries to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of her latest idea. Oftentimes, she will opt to simply move on from a topic before it's ever understood what she was trying to say, rather than try to lay things out in plain terms.
The reverse can also be true when people explain their thought processes to her in terms of subjectivity and feeling. Imagine an immensely complicated clockwork, taking in every fact and idea possible, processing them with a heavy dose of creative reasoning and returning the most logically sound results available – this is how her mind works, and she has little tolerance for an emotional monkey-wrench jamming her machine.
Let Those Who Would Move the World First Move Themselves
She is unlikely to understand emotional complaints at all, and her friends won't find a bedrock of emotional support in her. She would much rather make a series of logical suggestions for how to resolve the underlying issue, a perspective that is not always welcomed by her more emotional companions. This will likely extend to most social conventions and goals as well, like planning dinners and getting married, as she is far more concerned with originality and efficient results.
The one thing that really holds her back is her restless and pervasive fear of failure. She is so prone to reassessing her own thoughts and theories, worrying that she's missed some critical piece of the puzzle, that she can stagnate, lost in an intangible world where her thoughts are never truly applied. Overcoming this self-doubt stands as the greatest challenge she is likely to face, but the intellectual gifts – big and small – bestowed on the world when she does make it worth the fight.
Her Strengths
Great Analyst and Abstract Thinker: She views the world as a big, complex machine, and recognizes that as with any machine, all parts are interrelated. She excels in analyzing these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie in with each other in ways that bewilder most others.
Imaginative and Original:These connections are the product of an unrelenting imagination – her ideas may seem counter-intuitive at a glance, and may never even see the light of day, but she will always prove remarkable innovations.
Open-Minded: She couldn't make these connections if she thought she knew it all – she is highly receptive to alternate theories, so long as they're supported by logic and facts. In more subjective matters like social norms and traditions, she is usually fairly liberal, with a "none of my business" sort of attitude – peoples' ideas are what matter.
Enthusiastic: When a new idea piques her interest, she can be very enthusiastic – she is a reserved personality type, but if another person shares an interest, she can be downright excited about discussing it. More likely though, the only outward evidence of this enthusiasm will be her silent pacing or her staring into the distance.
Objective: Her analysis, creativity and open-mindedness aren't the tools of some quest for ideology or emotional validation. Rather, it's as though she is a conduit for the truths around her, so far as they can be expressed, and she is proud of this role as theoretical mediator.
Honest and Straightforward: To know one thing and say another would be terribly disingenuous – she doesn't often go around intentionally hurting feelings, but she believes that the truth is the most important factor, and she expects that to be appreciated and reciprocated.
Her Weaknesses
Very Private and Withdrawn: While her intellectualism yields many insights into her surroundings, Wyynne's surroundings are ironically considered an intrusion on her thoughts. This is especially true with people – she is quite shy in social settings. More complicated situations such as parties exacerbate this, but even close friends struggle to get into her heart and mind.
Insensitive: Oftentimes she gets so caught up in her logic that she forgets any kind of emotional consideration – she dismisses subjectivity as irrational and tradition as an attempt to bar much-needed progress. Purely emotional situations are often utterly puzzling to her, and her lack of timely sympathy can easily offend.
Absent-minded: When her interest is captured, Wyynne's absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. She become forgetful, missing even the obvious if it's unrelated to her current infatuation, and she can even forget her own health, skipping meals and sleep as she muses.
Condescending: Attempts at connecting with others is often worse than her withdrawal. She takes pride in her knowledge and rationale, and enjoy sharing her ideas, but in trying to explain how she got from A to B to Z, she can get frustrated, sometimes simplifying things to the point of insult as she struggles to gauge her conversation partners' perspective. The ultimate insult comes as she gives up with a dismissive "never mind".
Loathe Rules and Guidelines: These social struggles are partly a product of her desire to bypass the rules, of social conduct and otherwise. While this attitude helps her strength of unconventional creativity, it also causes her to reinvent the wheel constantly and to shun security in favor of autonomy in ways that can compromise both.
Second-Guess Herself: She remains so open to new information that she often never commit to a decision at all. This applies to her own skills as well – Wyynne knows that as she practices, she improves, and any work she does is second-best to what she could do. Unable to settle for this, she sometimes delays her output indefinitely with constant revisions, sometimes even quitting before she ever begins.
Occasionally, she might get drunk. If this happens, she mellows out a ton and acts quite foolishly. For other preferences, check here. For my full alt list: Valkyriae.
