Background
During the first war, former Sunnyglade was under attack by the savage Horde of orcs. Brave soldiers of the Alliance, wounded and shell-shocked, found shelter in the houses of the inhabitants of the village. Evelyn Walters' family lent their rooms to a soldier as well - to a man so direly in need of consoling, that Evelyn couldn't not become enamored immediately. The two spent the night together, as lovestruck fools - but with Stormwind in ruins, it was decided that the citizens of the kingdom be escorted to the North, and the soldiers return to battle. They promised to find each other again, as soon as the dreadful war was over.

She and many of the other citizens settled in the Hillsbrad Foothills, near what was then a small town by the name of Southshore, building up its economy and society. And there sat Evelyn, with child, waiting for her soldier to show up. One of Southshore's workers, Harry Brighton, would ask her to marry him, and her family would implore her to accept his advances. He was a moderately wealthy man, and one capable of providing for Evelyn and her child. She named her new-born daughter Gwendolena, after her grandmother.

When Gwendolena was only a few years old, her father passed away. That lingering hope that one day her soldier would arrive, was something Evelyn did never speak of. As far as it was anyone's concern, Harry Brighton was the child's father. The private remained private.

Time went on, and Evelyn was caught by disease. Gwendolena discovered, among her possesions, her old diaries and a stack of unsent letters, all adressed to the Soldier. She gathered most of her savings together and took the trip to Stormwind, having nothing left to bind her to Hillsbrad.

Stormwind turned out not to be as great as it sounded. Mean, asocial behaviour. Smelly streets and drunk rummies. Busy people with no time to listen to her. She almost found herself caught up in a troupe attempting to overthrow the guard force.

Eventually, an old greying paladin took her away to the Cathedral, after a very hectic incident. At last, someone who was friendly to her in this city. The two bonded rapidly, when suddenly the revelation came that this was Thepol Summerlocke, the same man her mother once loved - her father.

Personal History
Gwendolena grew up relatively safe in the region of Hillsbrad. When she was six years old, her father passed away. She doesn't remember the man that vividly, but she remembers that sometime afterward - when the Horde had destroyed the nearby town of Southshore and it was being rebuilt - she moved into Southshore with her mother.

As an early teenager, she learned how to sew, because her mother was tired of having to fix all the tears in her clothes, caused by her climbing into trees.
