| My Story:
Gwen was born in Saffron City. Her parents had met on Cinnabar Island, where her Mother was born, when Gwen's father was a young Trainer attempting to beat the Elite Four. Once Raphael met Caelynn, it became like a fairy tale. Raphael became an Apprentice in Caelynn's father's Blacksmithing shop long enough to save up a little money and ask her to marry him. Eventually, Caelynn asked her father for permission to travel the world with Raphael; and she promised that as soon as she settled down, Caelyn would open up a Blacksmithing shop there and continue the family name since Winifred's older brother would one day inherit the Cinnabar forge.
Gwen's first Pokemon was from her mother, a Vulpix named Arisa. She would run the streets of Saffron city with Arisa by her side, causing no end of trouble. When Gwen turned 10, her father gave her a Pichu egg to take care of. Arisa and Gwen kept the egg warm until finally Pichu hatched and Gwen loved her little Pichu. As her bond grew with both her Pokemon and she turned 13, she was sent on missions to Cinnabar Island to get special lava rock for the shop. Her goal is to find and befriend all the Fire Pokemon!
