The character Gwendolyn’s name is Welsh, meaning “white ring” or “blessed ring”.

Another variant of this name is Gwendolen. According to one of Welsh author Geoffrey of Monmouth’s tales, Gwendolen became Queen of Britain after defeating her husband King Locrinus in battle.

The rabbit-like pookas can be said to derive from the pwca creatures of Welsh and other Celtic folklore.
