Ying-Li nurtured Gwen's love of machines at an early age and it was because of Ying-Li that Gwen headed for Starfleet in the first place. Gwen decided on her first day at Starfleet Academy that she wanted to do more then fix ships, but to fly them to. Though Gwen | Ying-Li nurtured Gwen's love of machines at an early age and it was because of Ying-Li that Gwen headed for Starfleet in the first place. Gwen decided on her first day at Starfleet Academy that she wanted to do more then fix ships, but to fly them to. Though Gwen was better at fixing ships, she was a very capable pilot and was more then willing to take the helm in an emergency if need be. Gwen also swore on her mother's freshly dug grave that one day she would go for both her dreams and the stars and be a Captain in her own right...sadly that is one of many promises she is now no longer able to keep. | ||

Gwen | Gwen had serious intimacy issues that stem from her fear of dying in front of someone she cares about. Because it was hard for her to truly be more then friends with people, she had only ever been in love once and was willing do whatever it takes to keep that love alive, though she did fear that her relationship will fall apart. She ended that one relationship just before her death for reasons not even she understood. | ||
Mental issues:Gwen has three mental issues that she knows of, the first being a Loneliness complex, she has a hard time finding and making friends; and the second being an event triggered PTSD, traumatic flashbacks from her father's death haunt her birthdays and reinforce her fear of dying in front of someone she cares about. To this end, anyone who can get her to truly enjoy her birthday will have accomplished an impressive feat indeed. The third mental issue...well...she's okay talking about it, but its dark and complicated. You have been warned. | Mental issues:Gwen has three mental issues that she knows of, the first being a Loneliness complex, she has a hard time finding and making friends; and the second being an event triggered PTSD, traumatic flashbacks from her father's death haunt her birthdays and reinforce her fear of dying in front of someone she cares about.

*Cultural anomalies: Though Gwen was raised in China she did adopt some but not all of their traditions. Among the traditions she has adopted are that White is for Mourning (and to that end hates her dress whites unless someone died.) Red is for Weddings, and origami cranes are for good luck. | *Cultural anomalies: Though Gwen was raised in China she did adopt some but not all of their traditions.
