Main Character




"Gwyn took her into his hand. 'There,' he said. "I didn't mean it!' She was part of the magic and he would never reject her. He could hardly feel her, but the coolness of her silvery body soothed his tingling fingers." Jenny Nimmo, The Snow Spider Trilogy; The chestnut Soldier page#13

I believe this direct quotation represents the main character Gwyn well because this passage directly relates to his love and yet loathing of the very magic he was born with that on his 11th birthday his Nain helped reveal to him through 5 gifts (see part one of the Trilogy). He threw each gift into the wind as directed, one that came back to him was his now beloved spider companion Arianwen (not mentioned by name in above passage). This is Gywn to me though, a strong boy, that wants desperately to get rid of something inside him, yet impossibly wants to keep what it has brought.
I predict from the past two parts of this trilogy and from what I have read so far into part three that Gywn will help rid the Lloyds of a danger his magic is telling him is near. But I also believe something will try to attack and break down his magic, a small little thing with a demon in it.



I chose this song video to represent my character because I feel that Hedwig's Theme is very so much tied to the magic that runs even deeper than just through the literature part of Harry Potter it is a very emotional attachment as well to the series, I feel this is also very much the case with The Snow spider Trilogy the magic running through it held also by a strong emotion in the magic that is placed deeper than just in words.
