## Biography

### Early Life

Gwendolyne "Gwen" Stacy is the daughter of Captain George Stacy who was born in New York City, New York. When she grew up, she enrolled at Columbia University, majoring in biophysics. She also became Peter Parker's classmate and lab partner, as he helped her with Doctor Curt Connors' classes. She was also a friend with Eddie Brock, who takes pictures of her so she could be a model. Brock simply dated her, but had a coffee with Gwen, who didn't seemed interested in Brock as she found him to be obnoxious.

### Crane Accident

In 2005 one day, Gwen was doing a shoot service with some of her friends when a construction crane went haywire and crashed into the building where the shoot was taking place. Gwen, who was thrown from the building, due to the crane causing more damage to the building's floors, but she was rescued by Spider-Man before she embraced with her father. As a gratitude for saving her life, Gwen persuaded her father to give Spider-Man the key to the city.

### Spider-Man Festival

During the celebration, Gwen started a speech of how Spider-Man saved her life and he arrived when Gwen introduced him. Spider-Man dropped down on his webbing, upside down, and the crowd chanted her to give an upside-down kiss. Spider-Man encouraged her to do so and she passionately kissed him the same way Mary Jane did on the first film. Meanwhile, Mary Jane was looking at the scene devastated. The ceremony was interruped by Sandman's arrival which Spider-Man swung off to intervene.

#### French Restuarant

That same night, Gwen was present with her parents in the same French Restaurant where Peter was about to propose to Mary Jane. She started to talk to them and asked Peter if he had a picture of her kiss with Spider-Man. This angered Mary Jane, as Gwen was also flirting with Peter by caressing his shoulder every time. As Gwen leaved, Peter and Mary Jane got into an argument, especially because Mary Jane thought Peter was trying to push her away, despite he claimed her that he and Gwen were just friends and that he only did it as a stage performance to the public and had no intention of pushing her away.

### Night at the Jazz Room

*"That was all for her. I'm so sorry."*
―Gwen Stacy[src]
A few days later, Gwen was invited on a date by Peter, who was under the influence of the symbiote, at The Jazz Room where Mary Jane was working. Peter tried to do that so he could make Mary Jane jealous, as he believed she betrayed him with Harry, after he regained his memory and vendetta against Peter. When they arrived at the Jazz Room, Peter openly flirted with Gwen and she was having pleasure with it. When they found a table, Gwen saw Mary Jane and asked Peter if he wanted to leave with her, but Peter answered her she would be fine.

As Mary Jane started to sing on the stage of the club, Peter started to play the piano and did a full dance routine, with the crowd who started to cheer him. At the second part of the dance, he started to do a close dance number with Gwen and she starts to enjoy herself, believing Peter had feelings for her. During the dance, Gwen was amused while Peter made a fancy dance move with her, by then wrapping a leg between one Peter's and caressing. She then made a casqué dance move, while Peter whirled her around. The dance number ended with Peter raising Gwen's leg, turning her around and then dip her backwards, with an excited Gwen looking at him. After the dance, Gwen noticed Peter was looking at Mary Jane and so, she realized that it was to make Mary Jane jealous after she was blackmailed by Harry Osborn to break up with Peter. Gwen openly apologizes to Mary Jane before leaving.

Gwen later returned to her father's home, where it was raining, Gwen consoled her father when he checked the reports of Flint Marko and the murder case of Ben Parker. Unknown to her, Eddie Brock, who bonded with the same alien symbiote after Peter rejected it when he realised it was changing him for the worse, stumbled into her apartment and attempted to attack her, but he stopped upon seeing Flint Marko's criminal profile. This prompted him to choose him as his potiental ally and fled from the scene, Gwen thought she heard something but didn't see Venom and closed the window.

### Harry Osborn's Funeral

Following the Battle at the Construction Site, Gwen along with her father, Peter, Mary Jane and May Parker, was present at Harry Osborn's funeral, as he was killed by Venom during the battle. Gwen later accepted Peter's apology after the incident at the Jazz Room and forgave him, while still unaware that it was the alien symbiote that was the main cause for his terrible behavior.

## Personality

Gwen Stacy is a beautiful, gentle and kind young woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She is also very honest, being worried of Mary Jane's feelings while going out with Peter and hesitating when she was pressed to kiss Spider-Man. Although, she is also very naïve, noticing lately that Peter was using her to make Mary Jane jealous, due to him being under control of the alien symbiote. Sometimes, her flirty behavior and appraisement dressing could be misinterpreted as Eddie Brock confused their friendship with a romantic relationship and Mary Jane believed Peter was trying to push her away with Gwen. She was apologetic when she openly apologised to Mary Jane when she saw that the black suited Peter was using her to make Mary Jane jealous.

Despite the revelations she had been having, Gwen was also a very forgiving person when she forgave Peter after he apologised for using her aganist Mary Jane, despite that it was the symbiote's influence that caused the problems he had been having.
