History: Movie Wiki, One for Gwen.

Gwendolyne "Gwen" Stacy is the only daughter of Police Captain George Stacy, so it's not a stretch to say that she grew up protected and provided for: she has a nice bedroom, her building has a doorman, and her family regularly eats fish with fancy names for dinner. It's obvious that Gwen loves her father, and she's worried about him on a daily basis for as long as she can remember.

A gifted student, Gwen was already working at Oscorp by the time she's seventeen. Not only was she working there, she's also the head intern to Doctor Connors, entrusted with many duties. One such responsibility was leading tours for the new and incoming.

And then there's Peter Parker.

"What's your name?"
"You don't know my name?"
"No, I know your name. I just want to know if you know your name."

The first time Gwen really noticed him was when Peter stood up to the school bully, a move that she thought was both brave and stupid. It was almost as brave and stupid as when he snuck into the Oscorp tour group with a "borrowed" badge. It's there that Peter gets the famous spider bite, and he soon started showing off a little with his powers.

But he must not have made too terrible of an impression. Because when he later asked her out, she accepted - at least that's what appeared to happen. The entire exchange in the hallway was a little awkward. But she was there with open arms after Peter's uncle was murdered.

Gwen's father was less inclined to hug him. More like he wanted to strangle him when the conversation turned to Spider-Man over dinner. Peter argued that this masked man was just trying to help; George saw him as a law-breaking vigilante. Gwen saw him as the guy she was falling for when Peter shared his secret with her on the roof, and again on the football field.

Trouble.

When Peter showed up at her window injured from a run-in with The Lizard (aka Doctor Connors, who used himself as a human guinea pig...lizard), Gwen realized just how much trouble. She was well on her way to having a second person to worry about, to wonder if each time she saw him might be the last time. But dating a superhero does have its perks - swinging through the city, for example.

Gwen had her own run-ins with the Lizard, first when he attacked the school looking for Peter, and again at the Oscorp labs, where Peter had asked her to go and cook an antidote for the serum that Doctor Connors was going to release over the city. Gwen went, but refused to leave when Peter found out that the Lizard was coming to where she was. She hid, along with the dispersement device that he needed for his plans. He was able to get it away from her, but Gwen was able to finish the antidote and get it to her father, asking him to get it to Spider-Man and to make sure he's okay.

He does, and the city is saved. But Gwen loses both her father and her boyfriend - the first to death, and the second to a promise.

But as Peter later points out with a whisper, sometimes promises that can't be kept are the best kind.

Personality:

Make a dumb blonde joke around Gwen, and she will patiently explain that while there are a few theories concerning hair color, it ultimately comes down to simple genetics - inherited genes being "on" or "off", determining how much or how little eumelanin they produce. Less eumelanin means lighter - blonder - hair. She will make sure to point out that hair color has no correlation to intelligence, and she might do it in front of your friends.

In other words, she's not a dumb blonde. She isn't just smart, she also works hard. Gwen's at the top of her class, and she's pretty sure about that. She handles volatile situations with this same intelligence, and by being calm instead of emotional, mature instead of immature. She doesn't yell or hit Flash with her textbooks to break up the fight between him and Peter, she reminds him of a disappointing tutoring session and then ushers him off to class. And when she thinks that her father is on the verge of arresting Peter for his outspoken opinions on Spider-Man during family dinner (Branzino), she gets Peter outside for little air.

Gwen can respect the rules, and was raised in a house where law and order were important. But she likes it when Peter makes his own, whether it's by showing up at Oscorp or outside her window. As the only daughter of a Police Captain, you can bet there's been a little sheltering there. But Gwen isn't so different from other girls that she won't welcome a little trouble. And when she finds out that Peter is Spider-man and then watches him jump off a twenty story building, she knows she's found plenty of it.

Gwen is helpful, and surprisingly capable for her age. She tutors her classmates, and at her job she's already a head intern to Doctor Connors. Gwen is someone who can be trusted with both responsibilities and secrets - what bigger secret is there than Spider-Man's true identity?

She's not all brain though, there's heart there as well. Gwen worries about those she cares about - she's always trying to get someone to go to the school nurse. And every day, she worries that her father might not make it home alive. After seeing Peter hurt, she transfers those worries to him. But she's a good listener, and will do whatever she can to help. Gwen doesn't have powers of her own, but she has a courage all her own. When a giant lizard attacks her school, she becomes a trophy girlfriend...by hitting the monster with a trophy. When asked her to go to Oscorp to make an antidote for the serum that Doctor Conners is going to spread across the city, Gwen doesn't hesitate. And she also doesn't take orders when Peter calls her back to tell her to get out. Instead, she gets everyone else out, continues cooking the antidote, and finally gets it to her father after almost roasting some giant lizard.

"I've been bitten."
"So have I."
But Gwen is still, in many ways, a seventeen year old girl. She's not quite as awkward as Peter in the hallways or on the roof, but she does her share of stammering and twirling. She loves shoes almost as much as books. She loves her father, and probably doodles little hearts with Peter's name in-between classes.

And she really loves chocolate. Not that you have to be a teenager for that, but ask her about her chocolate house.

Actionspam Sample:
[The last time she missed her dad this much was at his funeral. He could get her out of this - he would never have let it happen in the first place. Gwen's wide-eyed but composed. Just think of it as debate team practice.]

The reasons that it's really not smart, kidnapping me? Well I can give you a few right off the top of my head. Even just my mom alone...you don't want to mess with her. Especially if it's that, you know, that time.

[Count on that to always be scary.]

And there's my brothers. They're big for their age, and you can bet that they're all out looking for me right now.

[Or in the case of her little brothers, reading her diary. Oh god, please don't let them be reading her diary. Why does she even keep a diary, that's so old-fashioned.]

[Right. Back to the negotiating.]

This is a nice bracelet, really tasteful, goes with everything. But if you could just take it off me and let me go now, I promise there won't be any trouble.

[And maybe that's a promise that she can't keep, because Gwen's life has been full of trouble lately.]
