Gwenhwyfar
Gwenhwyfar is King Loedengranz's daughter. As a young woman, she is easily scared. Because of her younger years of being confined in a convent, she prefers to be indoors. Even as she makes the trek to Caerleon for her wedding to Arthur, she panics when she leaves her home because of the great expanse of sky above her. From the time she is very young, Gwenhwyfar is insecure. There seems to be nothing she is certain of throughout her life. She questions both Arthur's love for her and Lancelet's, when they both would move the sun and the stars for her.
When Gwenhwyfar meets Lancelet for the first time, it is love at first sight. This love stays with them for the remainder of their lives, but it causes many problems along the way. She is also plagued with the pressures of bearing a child as Arthur's heir. This causes a great deal of grief for both her and Arthur. Since she remains childless after a few attempts at getting pregnant, Gwenhwyfar feels that there must be a great sin she is guilty of, which is why God punishes her. As a result, she becomes pious beyond normal reasoning and eventually convinces Arthur to give up the ways of Avalon. It is because of her that Arthur breaks his oath and he, and so many others die. Gwenhwyfar is selfish and not particularly bright. In instances involving Kevin Harper, she is even downright hostile.
