And I'm awesome with swords, Katana included. I even own two Katana, a European Sword, and a Machete.
Gwendolyn is Welsh. I looked it up and it comes from the Welsh words Gwen, meaning "white, fair, blessed", and Dolen, meaning "ring". It was also the name of a mythical queen of the Britons who defeated her husband in battle, as told by Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Despite that its Welsh, I'm not. I'm 2/4ths Japanese, 1/4 Italian, and 1/4 Native American. At least those are the only four I'm aware of. I have an Italian last name, Ricci.
