Habits:
Gwen keeps a small notebook with her and records whatever ideas that come to her throughout the day. If she gets antsy during class, she’ll start tapping her quill against the paper or desk.

Hobbies:
Gwen loves to read and will pick up whatever she can, be it a book from the library, the Daily Prophet, or the newest edition of the Quibbler if there’s nothing else. She likes to be kept informed of the world around her. She also loves to write; any of the teachers assign her an essay, they get a very thought out, well researched paper. Before she left home to come to Hogwarts, she even ran her own small blog site where she put up poems and short stories until the blog turned into her project dairy. She loves to tinker with things, a hobby she picked up from her mother.

PERSONALITY
Gwen was brought up by two loving and affectionate parents, particularly her father, so she is very affectionate herself. She is always willing to give a hug to whoever is in need of one, or she feels needs one. She was taught that ‘a hug is the best gift’ and fully believes that. Her affectionate nature leads to her being a great listener and a shoulder for her friends to cry on.
Ever since she learned to read, Gwen has been an inquisitive little girl, always wanting to learn more and more. First she devoured the age appropriate books that her parents would buy her. Then when she was put into a public school, she devoured nearly every word of her text books. She had been so happy to receive her first library cards to the public and school libraries. Every day after school, she would head over to the library and stay there until her father would come get her when he was done with his shifts. When she wasn’t reading, she was picking up on small projects that her mother was doing in there basement and eventually started to get shown how to tinker with electronics. Her first project she got to work on was dismantling and putting back together a computer processor. She had originally started a personal blog to post poems and stories but the blog eventually became a dairy of sorts for her tinkering projects.
When she received her letter, her reaction wasn’t the same as typical magical children. She hated the idea of change and didn’t want to leave what had become her life. It took her parents taking her out for a day alone and introducing her around in Diagon Alley for her to be slightly comfortable with leaving. It wasn’t until she was on the train and started to think of what she could do once she was there that she accepted the new change in her life. She went through a similar situation when each of her brothers were born but got acclimated to them after a while. The same thing happened with the change in schools.
Her resistance to change highlights another aspect of her personality: her stubbornness. She will not back down from any challenge or what she thinks is right. If you try to prove her wrong, she will have a well detailed statement supporting her position. The only thing that can change her mind is being proved wrong which makes her upset for a little while. When she gets upset, she’ll end up in the library with a book or newspaper and a cup of tea to try to get it out of her mind.

FAMILY
Mother: Daytona (Toni) Richards – Mixed Blood - age 34 – Ravenclaw – IT specialist
Father: Stefan Richards – Mixed Blood – age 38 – Gryffindor – Retired Police officer
Stefan met Toni during her days at Hogwarts however he graduated before she did. He met her again when she enrolled in a muggle university to get her degree while he was training to become an officer. It was not long after Toni graduated with her Bachelor’s that they were married. She managed to get her Master’s while Gwen was growing up and received her PH.D before Wayne was born.
Siblings: Younger brother Peter aged 6, younger brother Wayne aged 3
Extended Family: Both sets of grandparents died before Gwen was old enough to know them too well. Neither Stefan nor Toni has any siblings so Gwen doesn’t have any aunts or uncles by blood, however Toni has a few co-workers that she looks to as honorary aunts and uncles.
Relationship with Family:Gwen is not only the first born in her family, but also the only girl which results in her being slightly spoiled by both Stefan and Toni. She gets along well with both of her brothers except for when they’re being gross or trying to aggravate her.

General History:
Gwyneth was born in New York City to Daytona and Stefan Richards. Daytona had been working as an adviser for one of the smaller companies and decided that the slight break from her normal job of working for the large company she had helped found would be the perfect time to start trying for her and Stefan’s first child. Stefan had been working as a member of the NYPD and was thrilled with the idea. Nine months later, Gwen entered the world. They lived in the US until Gwen was about four years old. When she was around four years old, Daytona’s company merged with another company in England and they sent Daytona over there to make sure everything was running smoothly.
During her time there, Daytona decided that she would prefer to raise Gwen and any other potential children they were to have there. She set it into place so that she could take over the new branch of the company and then came home to help move the family across the ocean. They were there for a year before Gwen was enrolled in school for the first time and her mother decided to take a sabbatical to give parenthood another try.
Gwen was five years old when they brought her baby brother, Peter, home. She was upset that she was no longer her parents’ baby and slightly despised little Peter. When she heard him go through his first crying spell, she asked when her parents were going to take him back. It took a while, and the eventual realization that he wasn’t going anywhere, to accept her little brother in her life. At the same time she was dealing with the new addition to her family, she was also dealing with making friends at her school. It was hard at first, not only because of her hatred of change, but because she was an international transfer student.
It was in school one day, when she was around 10, that she had her first experience with the magical world. She had been told of her parents’ lineage and heard stories but she didn’t believe they were true until she was doing her work at her desk. One of the boys that sat behind her had been teasing her, throwing paper balls at her hair, and she was getting to the point of not being able to deal with it anymore. There was a gasp heard and she turned her attention to notice her pencil flying back and nailing one of the incoming paper balls to the wall. Up until that time, Stefan and Daytona had been convinced she wouldn’t be able to go to Hogwarts like they had. Six months later, she received her letter to Hogwarts.

The Sorting:
She was staring at the talking hat as it slowly sorted through the others that had been on the train ride with her into their houses. She knew a bit about magic, having been told stories by her parents about their time here. Until recently, she had to admit she didn’t believe them. Now that she was here and that hat was speaking, she was beginning to believe. Though the thought had crossed her mind that the hat was actually running because of gears, she noticed that the movements of the mouth were too smooth for that to be possible. While she was busy contemplating the mechanics of the talking hat, she heard her name be called out and walked up the same paths the other students before her had before sitting on the stool so the hat could be placed on her head.
“Hmmmmm a taste of ambition I can see,” she heard the voice of the hat begin, “but that’s not what you truly desire. You desire knowledge above all else. There is only one place for you,” the hat trailed off before letting out a loud call of “RAVENCLAW!”
She felt the hat being removed from her head and took one last curious look at it before walking over to her new housemates.
