Gwen (Total Drama)

During the first few episodes of Total Drama Island, Gwen acts aggressively defensive and pessimistic. Despite her seemingly cold, harsh attitude, Gwen is not a bitter person, but is rather suspicious and very cautious about whom she lets into her life. When she was handcuffed to Geoff in Tri-Armed Triathlon, she would end up revealing that she was never invited to a party, and sometimes wished that she could be a party girl. Gwen seems to give off the impression that she wants to join the crowd, but believes she won't fit in with it. Therefore, she became a Goth or lone wolf who spends most of her time in solitude. Gwen is smart, independent, level-headed, and is able to complete almost all challenges without much difficulty. This ability allows her to become Total Drama Island's runner-up. She has also made several good friends on the island. She harbors a dislike of Heather, who has done many cruel things to her, such as reading her diary aloud. Gwen also suffers from claustrophobia, as seen in Phobia Factor and The Tresaure of Dr. Mclean.

Gwen will return as a contestant in Total Drama All-Stars 2013. Gwen will indeed be switching teams with Courtney. Gwen will be in the villains team.

Personality
Gwen was a loner, sarcastically, scary, and rude; she uses this personality to make sure no one would bother her and at the same time making enemies. In future episodes and seasons Gwen shows her true colors, she is a very kind, fun-loving, friendly, brave, self-less, responsible, smart, beautiful, mature and independent young woman and sometimes acting motherly towards Owen and DJ; with this true personality she managed to make a few new friends.

The only thing that Gwen does care about is her family, she helps her mother and helps takes care of her little brother.
