Several contestants on the team, including Heather, Jo, and Alejandro sometimes try to fake their refusal to work together in order to form an alliance with her, but Gwen doesn't fall for it because she knows what they are up to. In addition, due to a running gag where Gwen would accidentally hurt Courtney in the first few episodes when she is attempting to apologize to her, Chris and the rest of her team think she is actually a villain.

When the season begins, her and Duncan are still in a relationship, although there appear to be some issues regarding it, mostly due to the aforementioned regret from Gwen. Duncan is shown to be the only one who reassures her when she is placed on the Villainous Vultures, but this fails to cheer Gwen up. Though Duncan is among the contestants that think that Gwen is trying to actually be a villain, he still shows commitment to her, such as when he sacrifices himself to get shot by a leech in Saving Private Leechball, which later causes him to be involved with a team switch with Courtney. The two do not interact again until Moon Madness, but the episode also marks the end of their relationship. Frustrated by his mentions of Courtney during the episode, Gwen appears to be jealous and frustrated with him until, at the end of the episode where he mentions her again, she breaks up with him, saying that any thrill of the relationship was over. After their break up, Gwen's opinion on Duncan greatly changes as she frequently makes fun of him whenever he acts like a hero and even ignores him when he tries to warn her about Mal's existence.

Gwen continues to try to make up her friendship with Courtney once she switches teams, but similarly to when they were on different teams, Courtney still hates her greatly at first. Even after Gwen cries in the confessional over her failing to make up this friendship, she still does not believe that she is trying to actually be friends with her, and when Gwen saves Courtney from a deer that was about to attack her, she barely shows any appreciation towards it at all. It is not until No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition, where after Gwen tells Courtney that she broke up with Duncan, where the two would start to be friends again, but the next episode has Chris rig the match in order for the two to fight each other. Even though the fight is initially fierce when Courtney is shown videos of Gwen kissing Duncan, this ultimately proves to be beneficial, as the two are able to vent out their frustrations and renew their friendship, allegedly for good. The events of the episode cause them to get along unusually well in You Regatta Be Kidding Me, as the two work together in the challenge even though Chris stated only one person could get immunity and they hope that the other wins the competition if they do not.

Gwen is able to get along with Cameron quickly after he switches teams. She is the only one who does not glare at him when he transfers onto the team and, while they work together during No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition, their friendship is put under a strain when, in Zeek And Ye Shall Find, "Mike" tricks him into thinking that she couldn't be trusted. Despite her case of claustrophobia working against her during the challenge, she is still able to save Cameron's life after he falls down a hole into the water, working together and letting her eventually win individual immunity for the first time since I Triple Dog Dare You!. She and Zoey also become friends after Zoey helps her to calm down from her claustrophobia. Despite her making and keeping these two friendships, Courtney and her did not last until the end of the season. Although Gwen was upset to hear that Courtney (accidentally) kissed Cameron while dating Scott, due to all the flak she got from her when she did the same to Duncan, it escalated further in Sundae Muddy Sundae. Due to Courtney's aforementioned relationship with Scott, she intends to betray her once there were only three contestants left. After the chart she made outlining these eliminations was exposed by "Mike," Gwen refuses to work together with her and only wants to be friends with her if Courtney votes herself off that night. Whether she follows through with this promise or not is unknown, but even then, Gwen doesn't seem to miss her when she gets eliminated.

As the only veteran left in the final four, Gwen is happy to have accomplished this feat, but she is also left without any allies in The Bold and the Booty-ful. She also fails to get Scott allied with her due to his perception that it was her fault that him and Courtney were done for good. She is tasked to find a painting of Chris in his cottage, but her progress is slowed down substantially by "Mike" and the painting she finds she finds has a smear on it, causing her to use bear feces in order to get the correct shade of brown. This disgusts Chris and causes her to get disqualified, but she returns for the finale as one of Zoey's helpers. While she helped Zoey get across the first moat, Mal throws her off of the second moat in order to not let her help Zoey any further. While she isn't of any help to Zoey later on, she does at least manage to hit Heather in the head with a stick, which is something she had been wanting to do for four seasons and give Cameron a friendly kiss on the cheek. She is last seen floating away on one of the cabins with Mike, Zoey, and Cameron, telling Mike she never wants to participate in Total Drama again.

Video log

 * View this video for Gwen's video message from home.

On Cartoon Network, Gwen receives a video message from her family, just like the other campers in the final five. In this video her mother and brother are seen. Her mother says that they are alright without her there, even though she is paying a neighborhood girl to pretend to be her. The video shows them (including the Gwen 'look-alike') having dinner. Her mother then asks "Gwen" if she wants meatloaf. The look-a-like responds by saying that she is a vegetarian and asks if she has to wait until after Gwen's mom and brother were done eating to get her twenty dollars. At the end of the video, Gwen's mother confesses it didn't go so well, and Gwen's brother signals to the camera that she is going crazy.

Camp TV
Gwen was one of the campers to appear in Camp TV, the prototype series. In Camp TV, Gwen was simply a loner instead of a goth.

While she has a huge crush on Trent in Total Drama Island, she and Trent seemed to be bitter enemies who were in great conflict on Camp TV, as shown in a promotional picture where they are in a canoe trying to strangle each other. Instead, her love interest in the prototype series appears to be Geoff. In the finished series, she starts out hating Geoff and befriends him later in its run.

In terms of design, Gwen generally bears a strong resemblance to her final design; in Camp TV, her hair is red/crimson rather than black/teal, and her eyes are green instead of black. Her clothing is more simplistic, with her top being shorter-sleeved and a plain brown color rather than multi-colored. She also wore jeans instead of a skirt, and sandals instead of boots. Her lipstick is also red, as opposed to teal, and her bangs are a different shape. Her original name was Heather.
