Gwen Tennyson

Intro As a child, Gwen was portrayed as an intelligent, sassy and mature girl who displayed a stubborn, smart-mouthed side, especially when dealing with her cousin, Ben. Her quick thinking and good instincts gave her an edge in dealing with dangerous situations, even without powers. Although she generally acted with more maturity than Ben, she could occasionally be nearly as childish and disruptive as him, as she was shown to enjoy taking Ben down a peg. She could also be pretty easily riled up, particularly if her cousins were involved. However, she was consistently shown to be deeply caring and supportive, and strongly valued her family, even if she regularly bickered with them. While she initially acted in a supportive role to Ben alongside Max, over the course of the Original Series, Gwen started taking an interest being a hero herself, and eventually started learning magic.
