Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
As a witch with all her powers, Gwen has a lifespan of 1000+ years, yet in the first film she's bound and determined that all of her children are going to be regular humans. This means that she would stay relatively young while her children grew old and died, and she knows it. Maybe Marnie wasn't off the mark with her jab about Gwen getting tired of her kids and disowning them eventually after all.
But on the other hand, she's presumably aged fairly significantly her +10 years in the mortal world...right? Wouldn't people eventually notice if she didn't?
Not entirely sure if this is what the previous person was getting at, but maybe being in the mortal world (or possibly, not doing magic) makes her age like a mortal would. Also, maybe the reason she doesn't use magic very often is because she doesn't want to live for centuries more without her husband?
How old was Gwen when she met her husband? She crashed a Halloween party, but she could have been anywhere from late teens/early twenties to centuries old. Mayfly-December Romance, anyone? And if she actually does have a 1000+ years lifespan, then she knew going into it that her husband would die long before her, too.
