Gwen

**Gwen**was a camper in Total Drama CYOR: Island, played by TheNextStep72 as part of the Screaming Gophers. With the help of her boyfriend Trent, the two found themselves protected by both of the games' major alliances. Combined with a string of immunity wins, Gwen survived until the final three before Duncan cut her in favor of heading to the finale with the less likable and returning Heather. She was voted the player best not to win.

She competed again in Action on the Killer Grips where she played a far more dominant game, wanting to be more involved and live up to her previous title. After her best ally and friend Leshawna felt threatened by Gwen, she was targeted for elimination. in the most shocking ceremony of the entire series, Trent sided with Leshawna, ending both Gwen's relationship with Trent and Gwen's game before the swap.

She played again in World Tour, this time by TDSurvivorFan21 and was placed on Team Victory. While she was in a fairly comfortable position surrounded by new friends, Noah once again felt threatened by her, and after experiencing deja-vu of Action, couldn't handle the pressure and quit the season. Her elimination defined much of the post-swap, with the event causing Team Chris and Amazon to form an alliance against the previous Team Victory going into the swap.

Gwen's final season was CYOR: Reunion where she joined and started off ok but soon became an easy nomination and become quite inactive. While she tried to become motivated Scarlett's excellent manipulation skills convinced her to nominate herself for elimination in place of Scarlett. Gwen was then voted out 5-5 in a tie-breaker by Dave.

## Personality

Gwen is a goth girl whose interests lie in art and astronomy. She is smart, independent, kind and level-headed, stating her best quality is her inability to get excited over minuscule things. Her attitude at first seems very harsh and sarcastic, but she is not a bitter person. Rather, she is cautious of whom she lets into her life. Beneath her tough exterior, there is a kind heart that learns to trust as the series progresses. Gwen's guard lowers with each season. Despite her distaste for whatever "the sheep" are fond of, she actually does desire to be welcomed by the popular crowd. As revealed in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, she distances herself from it because she believes it is not where she belongs. She isn't afraid to stand her ground should her reputation take a hit. Gwen also suffers from claustrophobia, as seen in Phobia Factor. She believes strongly in karma and is also a huge fan of horror movies, the clichés of which will sometimes dictate how she performs in challenges.

A lot of the confidence that Gwen gained throughout Island led to her being a much more social person heading into the second season. This combined with her strong friendships made her a threat to Leshawna, previously Gwen's best friend. Combined with jealousy forming on Trent's end for Gwen's friendship with Duncan, and the goth was blindsided. This feeling of betrayal and Duncan's relationship with Beth led to Gwen once again becoming more closed off and returning to her pre-Island state and far more confrontational, which remained consistent throughout World Tour.
