Guinevere is a young girl with dark burgundy hair with bangs, dark burgundy eyes, and fair skin. Her clothes consist of a long light pink dress with gold tips on the long sleeves, a white turtleneck, white tights, and beige shoes.
In a sort of illusion seen by Lancelot, Guinevere appeared as an adult, with more mature facial features, as well as a slender, curvy body and longer hair, wearing a long white wedding dress, with long sleeves and a veil.
After the timeskip, Guinevere's appearance has matured a bit more and her hair has become wavier and without bangs.
Personality[]
Guinevere is a mysterious but very bold girl, having no problems being assertive and forthright about her desires, calling Lancelot her lover and kissing him. She also proved to be a very happy, friendly and smiling girl, especially with Lancelot.
However, she tends to become quite serious and irritated by the actions of Arthur and his followers, especially when Arthur tries to defy the fate she predicted.
History[]
Guinevere comes from Cameliard, a small country near the original Camelot. At age 3, she awakened the ability to dream about the future with extreme precision, which led her to know everything that would happen in her life until her death at the age of 71.
Her father tried to keep her power a secret, but when rumors eventually spread, Guinevere was forced to leave her home. She recently journeyed to the Kingdom of Liones, excited at the prospect at meeting her "lover".
Plot[]
Chaos in Liones arc[]
Guinevere and her escort arrive in Liones during a midday thunderstorm where the moon is visible, exciting her as she has claimed to have been waiting for this moment. She wanders off and comes across Lancelot on a rooftop, scouring the streets to find Gawain. She asks what he is doing out in the rain and says he will catch a cold but he retorts saying she will catch one and tells her to go back home, only for her to say the exact same sentence as him which surprises him as he asks if she read his mind and she disproves this; she claims she knew what he would say before he said it and says his name, shocking him more.
Lancelot asks how she knows as she starts losing balance and he is forced to catch her and she replies by saying that she is his lover as she suddenly leans forward to kiss him. Shocked and very annoyed, he pushes her off and asks what she is doing. She laughs as says while she is a kid now, she will be sixteen by the time he turns twenty, revealing she is four years younger than Lancelot at age twelve, confusing him. She asks how both of their first kiss was and Lancelot attempts to brush it off by lying but she notes out that he is making things up and he assumes that she is reading his mind but she reassures him that she can not do that, but also reveals multiple facts about him which makes Lancelot cautious of her as to how she knows so many personal things about him and asks who she really is as he has never met her before today and she claims the same of him.
Before he can question her further, Guinevere's attendent finds her and she is disappointed that she has to leave and bids farewell, but not before Lancelot can ask her name. After revealing her name, she says she will still be in Liones until tomorrow and hopes they can meet again before then. However, she also gives him a piece of information regarding the location of Gawain.
Wolnack arc[]
The day after their first meeting, Guinevere is happy to see Lancelot again, appearing to him in the streets of the kingdom. Guinevere reveals that she is aware that Lancelot met Gawain and his teacher, leading him to ask her again who she is, to which Guinevere reiterates that she is his lover. Lancelot is annoyed by how familiar she is with him, to what Guinevere sees as cute shyness.
Lancelot takes Guinevere back to her inn, where she changes her clothes. Lancelot asks her why she put on such an elegant dress, something that humans only do on special occasions, to which Guinevere says that it is a very special day because her dream came true, finally meeting him in person. After asking where she came from, Lancelot says that he already figured out that Guinevere does not have a Search-type magic that allows her to read minds, but an Oracle-type that allows her to see the future. Guinevere explains that her power, Kaleidoscope, allows her to dream with clarity and detail any event that will happen around her for no further than her death. Lancelot is surprised to learn this, but questions how she knew about Gawain and the way his father spoke, to which Guinevere explains that he told him what she would hear from him in the future, when they would become lovers.
Lancelot is made uncomfortable by this revelation, saying that he cannot accept right off the bat that they will become lovers when they have only seen each other twice. Guinevere reveals that her predictions never fail and that she has already dreamed of him hundreds of times, including the first time they met, their secret meeting two years in the future, their first kiss a year later, and finally their separation when Lancelot makes a name for himself as a Knight of Liones at age 23. Guinevere then breaks down crying saying that they will reach a future that she does not want to see.
The two go for a walk where Guinevere says that she always hated her power and the horrible things it shows her, but that seeing him helped her a lot and that after finally seeing him in person, she already feels that she can withstand any hardship that is going to happen. Lancelot tells her that tomorrow he will go looking for Camelot, which Guinevere already knows and asks if he will ever come to see her again. Lancelot promises to do it, to which Guinevere says goodbye to him very happily.
At the inn, Guinevere is surprised by Ironside who, when trying to introduce himself, is interrupted by the girl who demands that he be direct that he is a Knight of Camelot and that he came to kidnap her. Ironside is surprised by his power to see the future, to which he questions why she did not just call for help or try to run away. Guinevere says that even if she wanted to, she would have to pay a heavy price for defying fate. As Ironside takes her to Camelot, Guinevere communicates telepathically with Lancelot asking him not to blame himself for what was destined to happen and that she is not afraid because she knows that one day he will find her again.
As Guinevere wakes up in Camelot's unreal landscape, Ironside tries to introduce her, but Guinevere says that she will go alone from then on, even knowing where King Arthur's castle is. Ironside says that he should make sure nothing happens to him so the king does not get mad at him, but Guinevere says that he really just wants the credit for capturing her, calling him a boring man. When Ironside insists on accompanying her, Guinevere reveals that in his last moments, he will be in the arms of his beloved son weeping and frothing blood. This convinces Ironside to let her go alone.
While wandering seeing the unreality of Camelot as she saw it thanks to her Kaleidoscope, Guinevere finds the entrance to the castle and recites an incantation to be transported to where Arthur and Merlin are. Arthur is at first alarmed since no one else should be able to get there, but when Guinevere says that suits him good to be surprised, Arthur is delighted to learn that she is his "bride."
After leading Guinevere through an elevator platform, Arthur apologizes to her for forcing her to come to Camelot, though Guinevere does not take his apology seriously. Arthur tells her that she is being disrespectful to the king of a country, to which she says that she does not even consider him as such. Arthur asks her why she calls him King Arthur then, to which she explains that she does not want to just call him by his name as if they were on friendly terms.
Arthur is pleased and tells her that she will have all the privileges and freedoms that she can, since she will not be a prisoner of war but a special guest who will support Camelot. Guinevere asks if he does all that for her to be his bride, asking if he likes little girls. Arthur clarifies that the "bride" thing is nothing more than a mere formality to keep up appearances, and that the only thing that matters to him is her prophetic power.
Guinevere goes on to tease that he already has someone else in his heart, so desperate to have her by his side that he even created an illusion of her. There, Arthur kills the supposed "Merlin" who was accompanying them saying that although he approves of Guinevere's defiant attitude, there are things he cannot say. "Merlin" is revealed to be a simple transformed fairy that Arthur held captive for fun pretending she was the real thing.
Guinevere makes it clear to Arthur that he cannot use her Kaleidoscope to his advantage as he intends to, because if he tries to defy fate, he will have to pay a heavy price. Arthur downplays her warning and asks for a sample of what she can do. Guinevere then tells him how soon Lancelot and the other Knights of the Apocalypse together with their companions will spend the night at an inn in the town of Wolnack on their way to Dalmary, where they will enjoy a festival and Lancelot will single-handedly eliminate two of his Holy Knights, Macduff and Teaninich. Arthur is amazed at the specificity of her predictions and tells Orlondi what he just heard so that he can tell any knight near where his enemies will be. Guinevere insists on what will happen if he goes against fate, but Arthur says they will not know until they try.
The next day, Arthur receives the report that Macduff and Teaninich were killed while the Four Knights only lost one of their followers. Although Guinevere reproaches him that losing two knights who should have lived was the price for defying fate, Arthur laughs happily saying that it was not a big deal and that although it did not hurt the Four Knights physically, it demoralized them emotionally since they are still children. Arthur then urges Guinevere to tell him what she sees him doing next, threatening her when she warns him that the future has changed slightly. Guinevere tells him that now he will send three times as many soldiers to face the enemy, but they are all defeated and four end up dead. Ironside suggests sending even more men, but Arthur denies that numbers are the answer since manpower is limited. Arthur asks Ironside to select the six that will go, also adding Mortlach to make seven.
Camelot Infiltration arc[]
After two years of living in Camelot, Guinevere awakens alarmed from a dream in which she saw Arthur destroying Liones and how a fight against the Seven Deadly Sins ends with Ban's death. She gets up worried that this future will come true and after looking out the window wondering where Lancelot is, she tells herself that all the beauty, happiness and peace she sees in Camelot are the product of Britannia's blood and tears.

As stated by her, unlike Bartra Liones' Vision, this ability does not grant her the ability to see broad visions into the future.

Relationships[]
Lancelot[]
Guinevere claims to be Lancelot's lover, despite having never met him until very recently and vice versa.[2] Is later revealed that this is because her magical power allowed her to see how they both became lovers in the future, as well as every detail of their future relationship. Given how clear and real her premonitions are to her, Guinevere harbors a deep love for Lancelot even before meeting him in person, despite knowing that their love would end with the two separating.
Arthur Pendragon[]
Guinevere shows great contempt for Arthur, who forces her to be his "fiancée" just out of formality in order to take advantage of her premonitory power for his benefit. Despite finding herself unable to refuse to help Arthur, Guinevere misses no opportunity to mock him and becomes enraged when he does not listen to her warnings about playing with fate.
