☢ Profile: Gwenyn is a rather muted and silent troll. This isn't because she's shy or nervous— In fact, she is rather candid and sociable when she wants to be. She simply doesn't know how to express her emotions to others, and doesn't quite understand how to form a natural friendship with other trolls from lack of a proper relationship with her lusus. She walks through life with a cynical and analytical outlook, knowing how unbalanced the world is in terms of blood color and society but uncaring as long as it doesn't affect her. She holds a begrudging appreciation of society's militaristic approach, recognizing that without gumption she will never amount to anything— But she simply cannot summon the same excitement to fight for an army that simply wants to take over other lands and establish its dominance. She wants to discover and find new information that can be used for her— Er, their benefit, not slam into somewhere new and destroy any possible research materials. She's disheartened herself by thinking she won't be able to do what she wants when older.

Gwenyn doesn't operate on the same wavelength as most trolls. She doesn't react to trolls begging for sympathy, and just doesn't care when she interacts with the needy or the rich. Other trolls lives never interested her, unless they show that they can be some source of ironic amusement for the greenblood. When seeing trolls fail or succeed using unconventional methods, she finds silent enjoyment in seeing them struggle with said ideas, when there was definitely a more logical solution to said problem. She treats everyone with the same sort of cool attitude, and she's conscious of this fact— Gwenyn understands how much of a terrible way to live that is, but can't bring herself to want to care about other trolls. She justifies this with how bad the troll society is as a whole and how her own lack of moral compass is lost in the sea of other trolls doing bad. She convinces herself by thinking of something worse other trolls do, and comparing it to what she's doing. It's a fool-proof cycle she tricks herself into believing so she doesn't feel guilt over any thing she may do. On this end, she justifies herself by taking advantage of any situation to benefit herself. She is not your cookie-cutter firmly-believes-in-the-hemospectrum highblood— Gwen chooses to follow it because it is beneficial to her, but otherwise, as long as it doesn't impact her negatively, she doesn't use it. While she's a bit bitter at having her future planned out for her, she choses not to oppose the government due to the possibility of being an official researcher in the future. Even then, colors and political stance does not interest her unless playing a part in her experiments.

She finds morals to be something like a cute superstition— While Gwen respects the morals and personal rules of others and finds them almost endearing, she herself doesn't adhere to them. She believes she is an exception to this rule, not because of her bloodcolor, but because of her self-proclaimed profession. The only thing she truly lives and breathes for is one thing: Her unofficial research. Right now, as a kid, she does not have anything official, but when did that stop her? She's fascinated by death, and after witnessing her lusus kill several animals who aimed to harm her, she grew deeply interested in how easy it was to harm another being, be it a beast, troll, or alien. Discovering new things about their race on her own is one of the only things she feels comfortable with truly putting faith in,and she's motivated to do as much as she can, even as a kid. She's using this age to come up with the questions, research them later when she's older. Are highbloods truly better than lowbloods by blood alone? Why are seadwellers automatically top-dog? As they are so durable, are they more resistant to killer substances, do their bodies start to decompose faster than others? What types of wounds do different types of weapons leave? How much blood is too much blood before a troll begins to die? Questions such as these fuel her desire to learn and understand more, and Gwen has started her research by looking for or killing beasts herself so she can test their durability.

She's accepted her childhood as an experience she needs to get through before she can reach the epitome of her abilities, but it's been uneventful so far. Because of this, Gwenyn turns to reading and writing, mostly crime or horror stories that heavily detail the situations they're in(though her guilty pleasure are mystery and detective novels, especially the stories that explain the crime scenes in detail). She has a great interest in aliens, and is fairly excited by the possibility of space travel. She's interested in whatever new beings to be found and the possibility of finding out more and being the one to find it out only adds to this excitement. Unfortunately she cannot do much from her place on Alternia, so she focuses on her current research and searches the planet for remnants from space. She's enjoys hunting and from this has gotten into taxidermy, something both her lusus and she enjoy to do together. She enjoys taking vintage photographs, and has a special red room in her hive where she develops the pictures she takes.
