Background:
http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Gwen_Tennyson

Personality:
From a very young age Gwen has always been a precocious young girl. Her exceptional intelligence makes it difficult to argue with her due to the fact that often times she’s actually right about whatever the argument is over. For Gwen, knowledge has always been the important factor in any equation and its imperative for her to know as much as she can about anything she’s dealing with. An important example of this is when she got hold of Charmcaster’s spell book. While most people might have simply put it in a desk and forgotten about it, Gwen chose to learn from it and even expand on the knowledge found inside it. She quickly became an expert sorceress who could not only face other spell casters who had been using the art their whole life, but surpass them in both her ingenuity and her knowledge of the craft.

Gwen is, if pressed for a defining word, a prodigy in everything she does. She is quick to learn, master and even perfect pretty much anything she sets her mind to. This is the case with her studies, with magic, with her abilities as an Anodite (between Alien Force/Ultimate Alien and Omniverse she has already mastered being able to at least partially control switching between her Anodite form and her human form. Something her grandmother said would take a very long time to do) and even in hand to hand combat.

When it comes to hand to hand combat and physical prowess Gwen is surprisingly adept for someone as focused on their intelligence as she is. She is a black belt and uses her martial arts abilities constantly when fighting (she even taught Ben some karate). Because of her years of training as well as her incredible intelligence Gwen is an incredibly disciplined person and more apt to think things through before doing them. This is something that has sometimes caused her to be unable to act or caused arguments between her and her cousin Ben.

Even so, Gwen is a guiding force for Ben. Often times, working to keep Ben out of trouble when he runs headlong into danger or started a ‘plan’ without thinking it through first. Early on she would do this with their grandpa Max, something that brought the pair closer, and in fact brought her closer to her cousin Ben. Because of the trio’s adventures Gwen became more confident in herself and more willing to take criticism as well as more willing to forgive. Something that showed in the faith that she showed in Kevin Levin, a young boy who was once the Tennyson’s enemy and later became both Ben’s best friend and Gwen’s longtime boyfriend (and presumably later in the timeline, husband). Gwen was able to see good in Kevin through their chance encounters after he was banished to the null void and, when the three were once again united in the regular world, continued to have faith in him no matter what happened.

Gwen isn’t swayed by a pretty face or fame. She’s more interested in an Ivy League school and an excellent professor then she is in the latest video game or movie trend. Throughout the series Gwen is able to keep her head when Ben has lost his over a celebrity or brand new Sumo Slamers. This is something that has proved to be a life saver many times over.
Gwen isn’t without faults though. She in fact has many which can almost be debilitating. Gwen doesn’t want to disappoint the people who care about her. This can lead to an almost ineffectualness when faced with a decision that might upset those who care about her or want the best for her (especially family). The best example of this comes from the episode ‘What little girls are made of’ where Gwen and Ben’s grandmother Verdona arrives and wants to take Gwen to Anodine to teach her the ways of being an Anodite. Gwen feels as if she cannot say no to her and is almost taken to Anodine even though she doesn’t really want to go. She does this because everyone she cares about seems to want her to go and she isn’t able to collect the courage to tell everyone that she wants to stay on Earth and just be an Earth girl.

It was only by Kevin’s expressing that he didn’t want her to leave that she was able to find the courage to tell her grandmother no. This resulted in a rather violent fight between her grandmother and Gwen, Kevin and Ben. Because of both Kevin and Ben’s faith in her and their willingness to show how much they didn’t want her to leave and how much they valued her she was able to stay strong in her conviction not to go with her grandmother.

Like all Tennysons, Gwen is stubborn to the point of being bullheaded. Even when she is wrong (a rarity for Gwen) she will often times follow through and continue an argument. Through the years she’s learned to control her stubbornness to a point, but with the two peers she is closest with (Ben and Kevin) she can be just as bullheaded and unwavering as she was when she was a young girl.

In the end however, Gwen is incredibly loyal. She believes in the good in people (or at least tries to) and will always be there for her cousin and friends no matter what. While at the beginning of Omniverse she did leave Ben to his own devices in order to attend early enrollment in an Ivy League college, she is always a phone call or drive into Bellwood away.

Questions:
I wanted to know if I could use a different journal if I get in. This journal is populated by my Alien Force/Ultimate Alien icons. Since I have so many I made a different journal for my Omniverse icons which would be visually what Gwen would be looking like in the game.
