Gwendolyn Georgie Westbrook
"Everything is out there, if we take a moment to look."
● Name:
Gwendolyn Georgie Westbrook; Gwen
● Age:
Seventeen
● Gender:
Female
● Sexuality:
Homosexual
● More In Depth Appearance:
Standing at 5'6", Gwen weighs roughly 160 pounds. She has a curvy figure, yet her arms and legs are incredibly lean, and she could easily be a pro-athlete one day if she chose. She has the body of a soccer player. Her hair falls a few inches past her shoulder, a lovely rich brown color. She either has it down or up in a ponytail. She isn't one to wear make-up unless it's a special occasion, as she's a bit of a tomboy. If she doesn't brush her hair after its wet, it tends to curl, making some people think she actually spent the time to curl it (she didn't). Her personal style is fairly typical for a tomboy, tending to wear jeans and a comfy shirt, rather than designer labels. Her voice doesn't stand out much in conversation, not too loud yet not too soft. She's right in the middle. She has a scar on her knee from a canoeing accident at camp when she was twelve.
● Independent ● Sarcastic ● Determined ● Judgmental ●
● Personality:
Gwen is the type of person who, in a novel, would be labeled "a strong female character." She doesn't take nonsense from anyone and is very confident in her own actions, thinking everything through and making the best choice. She is decisive and firm, hardworking and able to get things done. She doesn't procrastinate and is very methodic in her approach to problems. However, she's also a bit snarky and quick to judge people, assuming that she's figured out everything about them. Being wrong isn't something that (so she thinks) happens often. Of course, she also tends to find a lot of humor in sarcasm, and it serves to lighten up her personality. She is a decent friend, but a blunt and honest one as well. She doesn't sugarcoat things, and doesn't think anyone else should either.

● Biography:
Gwen was named after her father, George (hence the middle name Georgie). From the moment she was born, she acted rather like him, something that holds true to this day. Her father was from Boston, working as a homicide detective there, when he met Annie. She was in town for an education convention, and they had a whirlwind romance. "It was the kind you see in Lifetime movies," Annie still says to this day. After a long distance relationship for several years, it became clear to the two of them that they were meant to be. George relocated for Annie, moving to her hometown of Sterling Heights.
A few years into their marriage, they gave birth to twins: Gwendolyn Georgie and Kingston George. The twins were polar opposites, with Gwendolyn acting more masculine, and Kingston acting more feminine. She loved cops and playing in the mud and cars, while Kingston enjoyed baking and playing the piano. A bit of an exaggeration, Annie always claimed, but it was true nonetheless. George and Annie wanted the best for their children, and a small town seemed to be perfect. They ensured that their children would have every opportunity, the entire reason Kingston ended up going to a boarding school in order to jumpstart his career in music. Gwen, meanwhile, was allowed to come with her father to the station, as she had determined she wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a detective.
A tomboy to the end, Gwen excelled in soccer and picked up archery on the side. However, in high school, she ended up discovering a love of theater, and started auditioning regularly for all of the plays. Her grades are decent--not the highest of the school, but not poor either. She ended up taking a fair amount of advanced courses, and is set on attending university in order to get a degree in criminology, and push her into her field.
The SHS website fascinated her, and she saw it almost as a thought experiment. If the rumors were true, who was the person behind the site? Who was able to find out about it all? Why were they doing it? It was, to her, almost a preview of what her work might be like one day. Of course, it soon appeared to her that the rumors were baseless...but in the back of her mind, she was still wondering about the site.
