Description

The youngest of Harold Godwins children to his late first wife.  Midwinter (named because she was born on December 21st, the winter solstice), was always the wild one, more so following her mothers death.

She discovered at a young age that she was very competitive and there was no game she could not win.  The grizzled captain of the guard took a shine to the young noblewoman and began to teach her swordsmanship, this was frowned upon by her family, in particular her step mother and her warrior skills are mostly self taught, learned whilst watching the manors men at arms drill. however her perseverance eventually paid off when she managed to save the village from bandits which after she raised the alarm she held off from entering Barley until the guard arrived.

Midwinters closest friend is Elowen the fae foundling, they became friend when they both secretly entered a tourney put on by her farther, Midwinter was knocked out in the first round but learned a lot from that defeat.

Midwinter suffers from the curse all her siblings born of her mother do, white hair and pale skin, indeed Midwinter's hair is icy white and her very pale almost albino skin with her dark brown eyes give her an almost ghoulish, ghostly appearance which makes her very different from most humans.

Midwinter suffered greatly from her mothers death and is very melancholic, she has few friends apart from Elowen and the grizzled captain of the guard, , even her own family find her difficult, all except  Tristram, her elder brother, who too suffered from his mothers death and keeps a watch on his wayward younger sister.
