BIOGRAPHY

It was, perhaps, fitting for the patriarch that took over to pick her as a wife.  She, who had been born in humble beginnings.  Sure, she wasn’t feminine in the typical ways.  She was the youngest in a family of brothers and her mother died giving birth to her.  She was wild, raised by men and so comfortable in that situation they feared she would never meet a match who could handle her quick wit and fiery spirit.  She educated herself, reading what she could find, though resources were somewhat limited. When it was no less than the king no one had seen coming who asked for her hand, her father was all too quick to marry her off with absolutely no preparation -- not that he could have provided her with much anyway. 

She’d been used to fending for herself, and had become good at doing it, but she didn’t necessarily want to.  Uncomfortable with her sudden, lavish surroundings, she found herself isolated in a whole new way.  Though she loved her husband, and especially loved riling him up, he spent more time away and fighting than he did with her. 

Being comfortable around men, though, she found companionship in what some would consider a tawdry source.  Lancelot was around more than Arthur and withstood her teasing just as well, though her barbs had become half-hearted and rusty with disuse.  Her heart was torn, between the husband she had chosen and the man who was there.  Ultimately, the affair revealed to her she was probably the weak spot in their marriage, the reason for a fruitless union.  With no hope for the future left, she finally owned up to her deceit. She knew she’d broken Arthur’s heart, but she couldn’t bring herself to care. Certain death was better than the lie they’d been living. 

Before the sentenced execution could be carried out, though, she found herself somewhere else entirely.  In an effort to remain mostly anonymous, but not alone, she has all but dedicated herself to the church in the small town.  While she rarely leaves, people come and go constantly and she’s found some measure of peace, although she suspects the owner is no less treacherous than Mordred from her own time, and will leave, or usurp him, when she feels it necessary to survive.

CONNECTIONS

Xavier Facilier:  Though he accepted the stranger who woke up on the front pew of his chapel with little information, and they superficially have a decent enough rapport, Guinevere doesn’t trust him for a moment.  Ultimately, she wants to take over the church and run it as her penance for her many sins, and he’s kind of in the way. 

Robin Locksley: He’s hungry to provide community service and a reasonably intelligent man to converse with.  Though he’s very obviously taken with his wife, she finds his company refreshing.  He’s the only person she’s thought at all about revealing her identity to.

ALTERNATE FACECLAIMS: None yet.

FABLETON COMMUNITY CHURCH

As Dr. Xavier Facilier, the largely unknown founder of Fableton’s largest non-denominational church, says, “We put the unity in community.”  Don’t let the humble building’s Olympus location fool you -- it’s meant to be a safe place and a place of worship.  He presides over traditional services on Sundays, of course, but hosts a wide variety of events.  Bingo night, youth activities, and monthly potlucks seem to be the biggest hits.  He also runs support groups for addicts, couples, and even -- shh -- a couple of anonymous groups no one likes to mention by name.  The faithful’s donations keep the extra amenities afloat. Just make sure you attend your Sunday School lesson in the right classroom.  There are a lot of closed doors and no one really wants to examine what’s happening behind them, right?
