{{Separate continuity|universe=TOS|cont=Richard Hatch Novelizations}}'''Guinn''' is a civilian member of the [[Colonial Fleet (TOS-RH)|Colonial Fleet]] and the wife of [[Jolly (TOS-RH)|Lieutenant Jolly]].

== Biography ==
Guinn works aboard ''[[Galactica (TOS-RH)|Galactica]]'' in an unspecified capacity, performing duties that occasionally require double shifts.<ref name="WH196">{{cite book/RH|2|196}}</ref> She is known for her strength and nurturing personality, serving as a supportive presence to other Warriors' spouses, including [[Phaedra (TOS-RH)|Phaedra]].<ref name="WH198">{{cite book/RH|2|198}}</ref>

=== Life with Jolly ===
Guinn is married to Lieutenant Jolly, a [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilot. She frequently worries about him during his missions, waiting at home while he flies into dangerous situations. When he returns safely, she endures his habits of eating too much, drinking grog, and recounting tales of his adventures, before the cycle of worry begins anew with his next mission.<ref name="WH196" />

Despite the lure of settling on a colony world like [[Poseidon (TOS-RH)|Poseidon]], Guinn understands and accepts what the Fleet means to Jolly. Though she would love to settle down and establish a permanent home, she knows her husband believes deeply in [[Adama (TOS-RH)|Adama]]{{'|s}} dream of finding [[Earth (TOS-RH)|Earth]] and remains committed to the quest.<ref name="WH95">{{cite book/RH|2|95}}</ref>

[[Boomer (TOS-RH)|Boomer]] occasionally asks Jolly about Guinn's well-being during their conversations. At one point, Jolly mentions that she has been "harping on him about his weight," showing her concern for her husband's health.<ref name="WH31">{{cite book/RH|2|31}}</ref> When Boomer reveals that Phaedra is pregnant, Jolly's enthusiastic reaction and pride at becoming an "uncle" demonstrates the close friendship between the two couples.<ref name="WH31" />

=== Family Tragedy ===
Guinn is the sister of [[Tyr (TOS-RH)|Tyr]], a much-decorated Viper pilot who falls during the [[Great Betrayal]], among the first casualties of the [[Cylons (TOS-RH)|Cylon]] attack on the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol (TOS-RH)|Twelve Colonies]]. His death leaves Guinn as the last surviving member of her bloodline.<ref name="WH197">{{cite book/RH|2|197}}</ref>

For many yahren following his death, Guinn does not speak Tyr's name aloud, though he remains constantly in her thoughts.<ref name="WH197" /> When she finally mentions him to Phaedra, suggesting his name for Phaedra's unborn son, she becomes emotional, weeping softly as the memories of her lost brother surface.<ref name="WH198" />

The tragedy of the Great Betrayal weighs heavily on Guinn. During a conversation with Phaedra as the fleet faces a potential conflict with the [[Chitain]], she expresses despair, saying, "We've fought so hard, come so far, and all we've found is another enemy."<ref name="WH198" /> Her tears reflect both grief for the past and fear for the future, as she contemplates the possibility of losing Jolly the way she lost Tyr.<ref name="WH198" />

== Characteristics ==
Guinn is physically described as a good match for her husband—big but not fat, broad and taller than many men, yet still feminine in appearance.<ref name="WH196" /> She possesses considerable strength of character, serving as a nurturing and supportive friend to others in the fleet.<ref name="WH198" />

Phaedra considers herself lucky to have Guinn as a friend, and notes that both Boomer and Jolly are fortunate to have her in their lives.<ref name="WH198" /> Despite her own grief and worries, Guinn attempts to provide comfort and cheer to others, though she sometimes struggles with the weight of her emotions.<ref name="WH198" />

== Notes ==

* Guinn's appearance and mention are limited to ''[[Warhawk]]'', as she is neither referred to or seen again in future installments.
