Gwen

**Gwen** is a contestant participating in the shows of Total Drama series. On *Total Drama Island*, she's placed on Screaming Gophers.

## Personality

Gwen is a goth girl and loner whose interests lie in art and astronomy. She is smart, independent, kind-hearted, 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 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", "The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean", and "Zeek And Ye Shall Find". 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.
