Sexuality: Straight and married
Strengths: Her heart, she has a way of seeing into people and seeing the good.
Weaknesses: Her feelings have a way of getting the better of her at times and she has not really faced the deaths of Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato.
Habits/Quirks: Gwen has been known to cry herself into massive headaches and is a bit of a klutz. She is on meds for the mirgaines but is a fan of the coffee cure. But she at least I think would hide her true feelings from everyone minus Jack, Ianto and Rhys (her husband).
Personality: Gwen is your classic girl next door and has been called Torchwood's heart. She has been known to let cases hit a little too close to home and is always trying to understand the why. Gwen is also trying to keep her personal life and life within Torchwood balanced, thankfully Rhys does know which does help. She is also ambitious and rather feisty and has been described by Owen Harper as "socially responsible and empathetic" and possessing a lot of "unfulfilled potential".

Point of Origin: She is taken a few days post events of the Doctor Who/Torchwood/Sarah Jane Adventures crossover "The Stolen Earth/Journey's End" so she is still raw post losing Tosh and Owen during the TW series 2 finale "Exit Wounds". "Children of Earth" will not be a factor.

Gwen comes into the world of Torchwood after seeing Jack and the others over the body of a dead man . She was recuited into the team after the death of Suzie Costello since she did try to kill Jack. Gwen also knows that he can not die. She had a short lived romance with Owen Harper during a trying period but has somehow gotten past that with time. After Jack is killed in the season one finale it is her kiss that brings him back to life 3 days later.

Season 2 highlights in order to avoid spoilers: she took control of the team during the period Jack was with The Doctor and Martha (year that never was storyline from DW). She finally comes clean about the team to Rhys and is married during "Someting Borrowed" and was also with an alien child during the same epsiode (which leads to retcon in the drinks afterwards but she and Rhys did not take the pills). Afterwards she has tried to unravel the ongoing mystery of the Cardiff Rift and saved the others after an explosion in a nearby buidling (caused by John Hart). When Rift activity was detected around Cardiff Gwen went to police HS to find 4 dead officers at the hands of Weevils. She laters sees the 15 bombs going off (set off by John and Grey, Jack's brother) which causes more problems. She takes command of the confused police and helps to stop the Weevils at least for now before going back to the Hub, but gers trapped in the Weevil cage by Gray. She and Ianto are rescued by Jack but it is too late to save Tosh, who was shot and killed by Grey (with Owen's death in the reactor). Gwen is unsure of being able to go on but somehow Jack convinces her and Ianto its possible.

She was present when Earth is moved to the Medusa Cascade and monitors the situation before the team is located by former PM Harriet Jones over the subwave network. After the group formulates a plan to use The Rift, Mr Smith and Martha's phone in a way so they can contact The Doctor, Gwen prepares the Rift. She is later shocked,but not totally suprised,to find out how young looking the Doctor is. Near the conclusion, after Jack leaves the group to join The Doctor, Gwen and Ianto come under attack from a Dalek. Despite the knowledge that guns don't work, she simply tells him "I'm going down fighting, like Owen, like Tosh. How about you?". After firing all their bullets, they discovered that they been stopped, frozen in time, along with the Dalek, by a time-lock defense system that Tosh had developed but never really tested. She and Ianto were unable to leave the Hub but were able to help the Doctor to use the Rift to return the Earth to it original position.

What would you like to see happen in the game? The rest of the team needs to show up along with Rhys and PC Andy! But I would love to explore the emotional fallout of "Exit Wounds".
