Otherwise known as "that one tall goth mommy" and "the quiet goth girl." Gwen is a respected tattoo artist from Seattle with very little fighting experience. Growing up in a chaotic, abusive household explains a lot of Gwen's quirky speaking patterns like stuttering, murmuring, awkward laughing at weird times, and constant "ums", "ers", and "likes."

At first glace, Gwen wouldn't be cut out for boxing because of her timid nature and tendency to avoid conflict, but boxing is more than just raw skill. It also needs heart, spirit, and passion. When she really wants to, Gwen can put her heart and soul into anything she's passionate about. If she can put permanent ink on someone's skin with total confidence, how is that any different from messing up someone's face with your fists?

Sometimes all you need to be good in this sport is a shift in perspective. A tough jaw would help too, but I digress.
