"I heard that there's a concert this weekend.
I think you should go.
The lead singer's apparently smokin' hot and super skilled."

|| Sound Essence ||
Sound Manipulation consists of many things; in Gwendolyn's case, however, it is magnified by ten-fold. By taking in the sounds around her, whether it be the chirp of a bird, the murmur of a person's voice, or a clang of metal-on-metal, she is able to take the vibrations that the sound emits and harness them to her advantage. Her power is shown in many forms, although only a few of them does she favor, seeing as she is quite new to her abilities and has yet to hone them to their greatest peak. She has the ability to use Sonar/Echolocation, like that of a bat. By taking in the sounds around her, she can 'see' in the dark and when her eyes are closed or covered and easily locate objects and living beings that most others cannot, along with giving off a call throughout the immediate environment and listen to the echo of the sounds around her. Because of this, her hearing is superior to that of most people, allowing her to hear a leaf fall from a little less than half a mile away - but only when she concentrates. In addition, she is able to emit Sonic Waves by converting sound waves into powerful bursts of energy.
Her abilities do not end here, seeing as many of them tie together to become one as a whole. Along with her Sonic Waves, she is able to amplify sound waves and turn them into bursts of energy; she can take any sound and turn it into an explosion. An ability that rides directly alongside this and coexists peacefully is Sound Absorption, which essentially allows her to do precisely what the name implies: Absorb sound. She is able to mute the sounds around her until they are almost deadly silent. However, the key word is 'almost', seeing as she has yet to perfect this power.
Finally she has the ability of Pure Harmony, Voice Manipulation, and Lie Detection. Voice Manipulation (VM), is the power to change one's voice to the sound of another, whether it be another person's voice or simply a sound that is made within the environment, such as a bird chirping. Due to this, she can recognize any sound that she hears. Her Lie Detection is very simple and explains itself - by listening to the tone of a person's voice and their heartbeat, she is able to tell if the person's words are true. Pure Harmony is her final ability, which allows her to convert peaceful sounds, such as music or the whisper of wind through the trees, into peace and, well, harmony.
Many of these abilities are limited to what she is hearing at the immediate time, how much energy she has, how well she feels, how hungry she is, and her ability to play her music, which is often used to create her abilities, yet most specifically Pure Harmony and Sonar.

☠ Gwen is often found to be twirling her long hair, whether it be a simple strand to her pulling all of its heavy mass over one shoulder to play with it.
☠ Her exuberant personality can come off as frightening at first, but people find themselves oddly drawn in after surviving the first minute of a conversation with her.
☠ Her ability to match any pitch perfectly with the sound of her voice or a simple movement of her finger upon a note on her instruments is near-creepy.

"They show my individuality."
| Birthmarks/Scars |
She has several scars from childhood falls. In addition to the normal scars that people have, her hands are horribly scarred on the palms due to a fire from when she was younger. Along with these, she is scarred along the length of her left arm and over her left shoulder, just onto her left shoulder blade. Her tattoos cover some of her scars, however.
"I can't control them, but they don't bother me like they do some people."
"Some people are like onions. You have to really dig to get to their good parts."
| Loud & Exuberant/Energetic |
The first thing that anyone will ever notice about Gwendolyn is definitely how loud she is. In fact, it can be quite the put-off, much to her lack of knowledge. She is often found to be shouting without even realizing that she is doing so. This is easily caused by her contagious, energetic nature, which is shown by her constant movement and jumping motions. She is hardly ever seen sitting still, but instead will simply either put around doing random things or will be bouncing her leg, tapping her fingers, or twirling her hair - or a combination of all three.
| Interesting |
If there is one thing to be said about Gwen, it is that she is a very interesting individual. Due to her excitable nature, she is rarely seen sitting still, so is often running off to get herself into some sort of mischief. She will do random things that most people would not even think of doing, along with say random things that most people would not say. She is always seen with a beaming smile on her face - unless someone has done something to provoke a reaction out of her. It's honestly the best thing ever to get a rise out of Gwen, no matter what kind of response you pull from her, and simply because of her facial expressions. She makes some of the most hilarious of faces that anyone could ever see.
| Jokester & Hilarious |
A memorable trait of Gwendolyn is definitely her humor. While it's easy to find someone with a good or even decent sense of humor, she is one-of-a-kind. Her humor borders on insanity, causing many people to doubt her mental state. As stated before, she will often be seen doing the oddest and most random of things, whether it be randomly cartwheeling across a park for all to see, or running and climbing trees.
| Kind & Gentle |
Gwen is undoubtedly the most kind and gentle of people that could be found in the world. While most of her music battles against that with it's fast and upbeat rhythm, she actually enjoys playing songs very similar to Yiruma's 'A River Flows in You', which holds a serene and calming beat to it. Due to this side of her, she is often found to be volunteering at homeless shelters, retirement homes, preschools, hospitals, animal shelters, and more. It is very rare for her to say no to someone who asks for her help.
| 'Insane' |
Yes, Gwendolyn is a bit insane. Not in the medical sense, but in the personal sense. 'Weird' may be well-suited to describe this trait as well, but most people simply call her insane. This insanity is explained in her excitable and exotic sections.
| Loyal & Protective |
By far her best traits, Gwen is one of the most loyal and protective of people that anyone could come across. One she finds someone to care for, she will protect them with her life and will stand by their side until she dies. She will take their secrets to the grave and defend them to the very end. Stemming from this is her serious trait, which, albeit rare, appears when necessary, meaning that she knows when to joke around and when to take things in a serious nature.

| History |
Well, I suppose that I can tell you a bit about myself ... I'll just go ahead and start from the very beginning. It's an easier tale to tell by telling you outright every large occurrence in my life.
I was born to a wealthy Scottish family in a small town near Edinburgh, Scotland, on October 31st - funny, right? My parents were Marie Antoinette Demitriou and Saul Ren Rosetto. After my birth, there was Johnathon Jeremial Demitriou and Amelia Antoinette Demitriou, a pair of beautiful baby twins, who were four years younger than me.
My parents made most of their wealth in the wine business and named their alcohol An Grá Demitriou - The Love of Demitriou. The Demitriou exports were well-known among high-society members, and after quite some time, they began to receive invites to private parties by rich socialites. Of course, to their great regrets, they were gone from their children more and more often over the remaining years of their lives. Having hired a Governess and a nanny for their children, they found some of their guilt and sorrow to be eased, and went about their careers.[/i]
"I ... I'm sorry, but I can't continue telling this tale ..."
It was on January 19th that everything began to change.
Feeling well-off enough to retire for a few years, the Hood's returned home to be with their children, who were now six and two years of age. The governess and nanny were given the week off, and as a celebration of their return home, and despite the cold that chilled the outdoors and anyone who dared to brave it, they decided to have a fire.
Snow would not be their friend on that night.
Although still a child in most and many ways, Gwendolyn was quite the mature young six year old, who would be seven in little less than a month. Noting the maturity in the young girl as she dealt with her siblings and practically raised them herself, the Gemitriou couple put her in charge of distinguishing the fire at the end of the night, while they returned the twins to their room.
What a mistake that would turn out to be.
Having thought that she took care of the fire, the little girl returned to her own room and settled into bed, and for the first time in months, was tucked in and sung to by her mother and father. After gentle kisses goodnight, they left.
It was eleven-thirty-two pm. on January 19th, four members of the Demitriou family left the world.
Gwendolyn survived only out of sheer instinct alone. She managed to escape out of her window and run for help, but only after she severely burnt her hands from the protecting her face from the fires. Several licks of fire captured her and her arm and shoulder also, and in her haste to escaped the burning wreckage of a home, she tripped and severally cut her chin and forehead. Now drenched in blood, she managed to climb from her bedroom. The rest of what occurred is a blur to her, but in the gist of it, she managed to run through the slowly-rising blizzard to a neighbor's house, coated in her own blood. It was too late, however, to save her family, and the only remnants she has of them are her inheritance, her families' company, and a few keepsakes that were salvaged from the wreckage.
She moved in with her aunt, her aunt's husband, and her cousin in Japan once she was released from the hospital, but was diagnosed with what is now known most commonly to returning veterans as Post Dramatic Stress Disorder. She also has deep abandonment issues. When she arrived in Japan, she didn't attend school at the very beginning, but instead was held out of it for her own sake. Her shyness and naivety when it came to people resulted from her history with loss, and she can't truly control how she reacts to some things. Her aunt and uncle have given her a relatively normal life, despite the constant visitations to psychiatrists and doctors to ensure that her mental and physical health are alright, and is still on medications for bodily pain, depression, and PTSD.
As she grew up, she made several friends, despite her beginnings involving her as a quiet and shy young woman. Eventually she grew into herself and became the person that everyone knows at the current time - an excitable, sweet, and bubbly woman. Her friends in her band also helped her integrate into Japan quite smoothly by easily welcoming them into her group.
At the tender age of 18, Gwendolyn became involved with a young man a mere year her elder. They immediately were attached at the hip and inseparable, and their love was contagious, making others smile just by looking at the two of them. However, not all love is meant to be. A year after they began to date, Retsu invited her to move in with him. On the night that he asked her, he was murdered in cold blood.
Directly in front of Gwendolyn.
It was a simple street-robbery by a simple street thug. Sadly, this thug had a gun, and Retsu was no match for it. While the man had his gun focused on Gwendolyn, he accidentally pulled the trigger due to the shaking of his hand. The gun went off and Retsu dove and took the bullet in order to protect Gwendolyn. The thug proceeded to flee, and Retsu died in Gwendolyn's arms. The thug was eventually caught and sentenced to life in prison, but that would never undo what he did to Gwen. In fact, it's a wonder how the woman is able to smile, especially to the extent of which she does.
"My past is exactly that - my past. There's nothing that could change it, and it's what made me into the woman I am today. I [b]like me."

☠ She really likes cats. Like, really likes cats. Especially kittens. It's kind of weird.
☠ She eats more than any guy she's ever met, yet never puts on a pound.
☠ Gwen holds an irrational fear of dead silence. If it is so silent that she can hear the throbbing of her eardrums, she will literally be pushed to the brink of her sanity.
☠ In addition to her fear of silence, Gwen is also irrationally afraid of abandonment and growing close to others. She is a very happy and excitable person who seems to want to grow close to others, but will often hold them at a distance on an emotional level in order to protect herself.
