Name:Gwen Cooper
Age: 30
Species: Human
Planet of Origin:Earth (resides in 21st century Cardiff, Wales.)
Occupation: Prior to her time with Torchwood Three, Gwen worked as a uniformed police constable. Currently she is working with Torchwood Three.
Physical Description: Gwen is fairly tall, and has a pale complexion with just a hint of a tan. Her hair falls in a feathered style, shorter in the front, and longer at the back. Her fringe is wispy and parts to the side. Her eyes are hazelnut brown, and she wears make up in more natural colours. She is pretty fit, having worked as a Policewoman, and remained fit through her physical duties to Torchwood.
Personality: Gwen is a very cheerful person, but she can be very stubborn at times. She is cares greatly for those she is close to and although she can get a bit emotional at times and will stand up to any challenges she is set. She is very persistent and this is a good trait that she has. By being human, she can sometimes have her off moods where people annoy her, especially when things don't go the way they should.
History: Gwen was born on the 16th of August, 1978 to Geraint and Mary Cooper. She grew up having a normal life in Cardiff, a city in which her family had been established in since the 19th century. She performed well in school, and always wanted to be in the police force. During college she met Rhys Williams. While in college she fought off her friend, and police partner Andy Davidson's romantic attention, and at the time had a boyfriend named Bruce. After graduating college she went on to be a policewoman and eventually began to date, her then live in boyfriend Rhys.
As a Uniformed Police Constable, Gwen's life changed as she was called in on a murder scene, and that was her first encounter with the secretive group called Torchwood. On a different day, she was attempting to break up a fight in a pub when she was knocked into a wall. Sustaining injury she was checked out by the hospital. While there, she saw Captain Jack Harkness and followed him up the stairs, where she came across an area that was sealed off. A hospital porter was killed in front of her by a creature she'd thought to have been human wearing a costume. Finding out about the Weevil she began to question what Torchwood was about. Her stubborness, determination and curiosity drove her to follow the group to the Hub. Eventually she lost sight of them, and waited around. Taking it on herself to find out where they were, she ordered pizza, finding out that J. Harkness, Captain Jack Harkness and Harkness presented no matches, someone had ordered under the name Torchwood and she managed to find out how to get in.
Introduced to the team, Gwen later went for a drink with Jack and found out towards the end, that he dosed her with a drug to induce selective amnesia. She raced off to make notes of what happened and yet her computer files were deleted by what appeared to be her computer dying, although it was really the hacking skills of Ianto Jones. Before she fell asleep at the computer, she wrote down "remember" on a pamphlet so she'd never truly forget. Umon investigating a string of murders, Gwen got sucked in again. Learning that Torchwood's Susie Costello was the one behind them, she was threatened and this was when Jack came in. Susie had shot Jack in the head right in front of Gwen's eyes. When jack sprang back to life, Susie killed herself. Gwen was offered a job with Torchwood Three, and she took it.
Rhys and Gwen continued to live together, and Gwen's work occasionally brought Alien phenomena to Rhys' attention, but he didn't believe in aliens, opting to believe that terrorists put psychotropics in the water supply, causing mass hallucinations. On her very first day on the job, she realised just how extraordinary it was to do her line of work. She caused a mess though with a young girl, and alien gasses which was eventually fixed. During her time starting out Jack taught her how to shoot guns, which sadly enough came in handy as soon after the partially cyber-converted Lisa, reigned terror over the Hub, during which she shared a rather intimate kiss with Owen Harper.
Gwen continually struggled with the traumas she experienced and the requirement to keep her career shielded from everyone she knew and loved, especially Rhys. She lashed out by having an affair with fellow Torchwood member Owen Harper, and eventually becoming insubordinate towards Jack. However, she deeply loved and admired Jack, resented Owen, and struggled with keeping her relationship with Rhys stable even as the lies she told him became overwhelming.
Eventually, Rhys was murdered by a Torchwood enemy, and Gwen betrayed Jack in order to reset time in order to eventually resurrect Rhys. Jack then disappeared with the Doctor, and for a while Gwen served as the leader of Torchwood, and her unexpected launch into that status helped her better understand her job and gave her a further confidence in her own authority and place among the team. It was also during this time Rhys and Gwen became engaged. After Jack returned, her previous actions did not seem to change her relationship with Jack, though it did force her to re-evaluate her relationship with Rhys. She forced herself to strengthen their relationship, eventually to the point that Rhys was introduced to the Torchwood team and let into the secret life she had been living for over a year. This helped her solidify her confidence in her life with him, and even through their wedding struggled with fighting alien hostiles. They, eventually, were successfully married, and although her feelings for Jack remain, Gwen has dedicated herself to making her marriage with Rhys work.
