As a professor of mythology and history at Odl y Môr University, Olwen's life has been a pursuit of knowledge. With her partner, the famed archaeologist Signe, they delve deep into the past to uncover hidden mysteries. Direct and intimidating, her piercing gaze cuts through pretense and falsehood with ease. Yet beneath her tough exterior lies a curiosity, a childlike wonder.
Her scholarly pursuits have led her to amass a vast collection of ancient artifacts. But it is not just the dusty objects and crumbling ruins that captivate Olwen's imagination– through her research, Olwen has begun to uncover the secrets and power of the Pokénogi, ancient tales imbued with some sort of mythical magic. She is a leading source of knowledge on the subject of Ancestral Forms in the Hafod region.
With her signature move, Misty Terrain, Olwen summons forth a veil of mystical fog, shrouding the battlefield in an otherworldly haze that confounds her opponents and enhances the power of her Fairy-type Pokémon. And as trainers face off against her in the gym, they are met not just by a formidable opponent, but by a scholar and a sage whose wisdom is matched only by her unyielding determination to uncover the truth.
