Gwen Tennyson (Remnant)

**Gwen Tennyson** is one of the main characters of *RWBY: Grimm Force*, and is a member of Team TRTL.

## Appearance

Gwen is a 17 year old girl with green eyes, and vibrant orange hair done up in a small ponytail. She has faint freckles. Her top is a button up red dress shirt, worn underneath a dark blue vest. She wears a blue plaid skirt overtop black leggings, and black boots. Around her waist are blue sashes, and attached is a cat mask. She wears her Charms of Bezel on her right arm.

## History

Gwen, like her cousin Ben, comes from Mistral. The two were trained from around the age of ten by their grandfather, Max, as that was the age the two of them unlocked their Semblances. Gwen explained that her and Ben got their weapons thanks to Max, who wanted them to have weapons that would help focus and hone in on their Semblances.

The two would eventually attend Beacon Academy, becoming part of Team TRTL together.

## Personality

Gwen is empathetic, lamenting upon seeing how much Ben hated discussing his Semblance, let alone using it. She is also rather friendly, and even upbeat when discussing serious topics, such as the loss of Max's arm that caused him to retire.

## Powers

Gwen can hold her own without the use of her Semblance or Weapon due to her training.

### Charms of Bezel

Gwen's weapon is the Charms of Bezel. Three of these Charms help to focus her Semblance, while the other three use Dust (specifically Fire, Lightning, and Gravity.) The Dust Charms can imbue her Semblance with the respective Dust abilities. The other three Charms work with specific aspects of her Semblance: offensive, defensive, and utility. The Dust Charms have a glow of their respective Dust colors.

### Aura Extension

Gwen's Semblance is called Aura Extensions. Though Blake Belladonna likened this to magic, Gwen elaborated that she is able to extend her Aura for attacks such as energy blasts, or defensive moves such as force fields. She can also use more utility based applications such as platforms.

## Weaknesses

Gwen's Aura can run out either due to too much damage, or overexertion of her Semblance. If a critical blow is hit during this time, it is potentially fatal.

## Trivia

* Gwen's outfit is meant to combine her *Alien Force* Season 3 outfit, second *Omniverse* outfit, and future self outfit. Her hair is done in a short ponytail to reflect both her ponytail look from *Alien Force*/*Ultimate Alien* and short hair look from the other three series. The black leggings are a nod to Lucky Girl. The Charms of Bezel being on her right arm is a nod to her future self in both the original series and *Omniverse*.
* Gwen's Semblance was suggested by WTB as a replacement for her magic. This is because of the much different way in which magic works in *RWBY*. This Semblance is also quite similar to those of Vine Zeki and Elm Ederne.
* The name "Gwendolyn" derives from "Gwendolen," which is Welsh for a number of terms including white. "Rose" brings to mind shades of red, akin to Ruby Rose.
	+ "Rose" has never been canonically Gwen's middle name, but it was at one point a fairly popular fan suggestion for it.
* Gwen's art was done by Shark.
