Life
Gwendolyn Hayforth-Breckinridge was born in 3465 as the daughter of Hamilton Breckinridge, a psychiatrist, and his wife, Samantha Hayforth, who worked as a solicitor. Her father was the son of Julia Breckinridge, a former Prime Minister and influential political figure.

After finishing school, she went to study philosophy at the prestigious and elitist First Private Dranian University, an academic bastion of right-wing thought. She was soon attracted to the more radical ideas on the right, particularly anarcho-capitalism, the vision of a stateless society combined with laissez-faire capitalism.

In 3422, when talking about her views during an interview on her political ambitions - she was at that time running for Parliament for the RFR - she criticized her party's stance on defense openly and established an early reputation as a party rebel:

"Dranland should begin to de-militarize and stay out of international skirmish completely. By meddling with the affairs of other nations or criticizing their actions, we risk that aggression turns at us despite not being affected by the particular conflict in the first place. If we adhered to the principle of non-intervention, there wouldn't be a need for storing nukes and assault weapons at all."

Hayforth-Breckinridge's parliamentary bid was successful, but for many years she was stuck on the backbenches due to her radical views. This started to change when, under Masuhiro Ozawa, the party started to become more isolationist, and she was appointed foreign affairs spokeswoman.

She was one of the architects of the Neutrality Doctrine in 3512, which enshrined non-interventionist policy into law.

In the same years, she ran for RFR Chairperson and took an early lead after having revised her platform to a more moderate agenda. She was elected with 53% in the runoff, defeating Thomas Trelawney.
