Bio:
Qwynnleigh (AKA Qwynny) was born in a very small town outside of. When she was still young, Cybernots came to her town and slaughtered her whole village while she was hiding (using her chameleon spell) in the bathtub in her family home. Because of the carnage that she witnessed, as her family was slaughtered brutally in front of her, she has developed a few interesting quirks. She suffers from severe abandonment issues as well as separation anxiety. She also has a diagnosed mental illness. After her town was annihilated, she set out on her own exploring the lands around her. She has no tolerance for any kind of cybernetics nor violence towards animals. She will quickly bond with anyone who shows the least bit of compassion or sensitivity towards her. If separated from her companions, she may react in very unexpected ways and refuse to take her medication which grounds her. She can be very unpredictable at times. She does not drink, DON’T EVEN OFFER! Also, don’t expect her to sleep in a bed…EVER…Bathtubs are best!!!
