Gwen

Gwen, also known as the The Loner Goth, joined Total Drama Island because her younger brothers dared her to, and she thought that it would humor them so she signed up. Gwen is aggressively defensive. People think that she is a pessimist, which she isn't, but steadfastly refuses to be cheerful. However the truth in reality is that Gwen is not a bitter person, but rather guarded and cautious about whom she lets in. When she was tethered to Geoff, she wound up revealing that she was never invited to a party and sometimes wishes that she could be a party girl (something that Geoff sensed and wished to help with). Gwen seems to give off the impression that she wants to join the crowd, however she could never fit right in and so she became a lone wolf who spends most of her time alone. However her experience on Total Drama Island seems to change her personality and make her a better person. She learns that there are people on the island who care about her such as Trent, a fellow camper who seems to share the same interests as Gwen and even wrote her a song. It is noted that he also has a crush on her. She is sometimes mistaken for being snobbish. She shuns the camera and rolls her eyes to the antics of other guys. Gwen has a strong rivalry with Heather, another fellow camper who read her diary out loud during a talent contest, and they both try to get under each other's skin numerous times. Gwen’s greatest fear is being buried alive.

Video Log
On Cartoon Network Gwen's brother and mother send her a video log. Her mother says that they are alright without her there, even though she is paying a neighborhood girl to pretend to be her. They also shows them (including the Gwen look-alike) having dinner. Her mother then asks "Gwen" if she wants meatballs who responds by saying that she is a vegetarian and if she still gets her $20 if she doesn't eat the dinner.
