{zchardetails:gwen} 
 
Gwen is a curvy pink dragoness who was the first character introduced in the very first Zoniverse story, {zstory:iz1}.

==== Early life ====
 
She was fascinated with gunge from a young age when she saw it on children's television and some of the evening shows that her dad {zchar:dafydd} watched. However, soon after discovering it she realized that her mum {zchar:gwyneth} was disgusted by it and so tried to hide her fascination, only stealing looks at slime-related television shows when she thought she wouldn't be disturbed. As a child, she was caught pretending she was taking part in the final gunge game of {zshow:spymaster} she was watching on television, which heightened her embarrassment and drove her interest further into secrecy.

One of her favourite scenes she saw growing up was when {zchar:cindy} was plucked out of the audience and gunged under a giant nose on the Saturday morning show {zshow:massive}. Years later when her family gave her her own personal computer as a teenager, she lasted a few days before convincing herself nobody would notice her searching for "gunge" online. Among the various fan and fetish sites, she rediscovered many of the scenes that she remembered catching in the rare occasions she could when growing up. Cindy's scene was her favourite one to watch privately because of how similar she looked to her, and she enjoyed imagining herself in the seat in Cindy's place. She promised herself that despite her shyness, she would apply to take part if anything like the shows she loved growing up ever came back.

==== On Industrial Zone ====

In 2102 her chance came with the debut of {zshow:iz}, and she fulfilled her dream by appearing on the first episode of the second season in 2103 when she was 18. Her teammates were {zchar:rachel}, {zchar:cleo} and {zchar:electra}. After being disappointed by a couple of near misses at the start of their run, she found herself trapped in {zgame:the_shuttle} during a transition game with the others racing to save her. Lost in the fiction of the show that her craft was cut off from outside contact, she stripped herself in anticipation of her first gunging and had to be saved from her embarrassment by {zchar:alex}. During the rest of her appearance, she was also gunged in {zgame:cheese_chess}, the {zgame:slimeulator} (when it was still called {zgame:the_ride}) and the {zgame:season_2_finale} after their team failed to complete the final game in time.

==== With IZ Live ====

Having left a great impression on the Industrial Zone team and having gained a lot more confidence in herself through her appearance on it, she was hired as an announcer for {zshow:izlive}, and tours with them during summers. She was hired quite late on in the live show's development but got to provide a bit of influence for how her favourite game {zgame:the_shuttle} was brought to the stage.

When she was 28 she got the chance to be gunged again by appearing on {zshow:frightnight} with {zchar:isla}, {zchar:ianthe} and {zchar:cindy}.

==== Sex and relationships ====

She is very close to {zchar:susi}, whom she met after her Industrial Zone appearance and became one of her greatest friends and eventually a partner. His influence helped her continue to grow her confidence and believe in herself more. During her first year at university she experimented and was briefly involved with {zchar:kai}, but the two of them never clicked in anywhere near the same way that she did with Susi.

Gwen has a huge gunge fetish, and is at her most aroused under the threat of being covered in slime. During a couple of late nights on the Industrial Zone set, she and {zchar:susi} have set up private games of their own - once when Susi put her in {zgame:the_cockpit} gunge machine and she roleplayed as his teacher. She also sometimes enjoys some other forms of submission like being tied up.

Even though she likes being submissive, her favourite sex position is on top. Her large breasts are especially sensitive and she enjoys them being rubbed, kissed and sucked. Like most dragons species with no head hair, she's completely smooth all over.

==== Influences ====

Gwen came into being in 2003 when Iron-K had a dream in which a plump pink dragoness was being covered in cream-coloured gunge in a large glass sphere. He wrote down the details of the dream and it eventually turned into a full scene, with the sphere eventually being replaced by the interior of a "shuttle" set to match the aesthetic of the whole show that was eventually built up around it. This was the first scene ever written for what was to become Industrial Zone.
 
Her discovery of gunge was very close to Iron-K's own, with it having been an awestruck interest that was driven into secrecy by other people's disapproval.
