Gwen was always different then the others girls, she was always tough and stubborn even as a little girl. In high school she didn’t care about makeup and fashion as much as the other girls. Sure, she still put on makeup and dressed nice but it wasn’t something she went out of her way for. Gwen cared more about helping people then those other things that girls cared so much about which put her somewhat on the outside. If anyone was ever getting bullied around she’d step up and tell the bully off, she wouldn’t take any of that which often lead her to getting into trouble and people not liking her. Some of the other girls were even scared of her since she was so tough, Gwen Cooper would never back down.
Even as Gwen joined the police she still didn’t feel like she completely fit in. Her position was so small and minor that she was as “important”. She still did get to help people and do good but it wasn’t what she’d always thought she’d do. But she was willing to give that up to start a family with Rhys, she knew getting a desk job would be completely different then what she originally wanted but it was the right thing to do to start a family.
Then one day the tough women met a man that changed her world. Because of that man and the world he brought her into she finally felt like she was part of something, like she fitted in. She finally knew her place in the world and was content with it. There was times she was unsure if she could go on anymore but she knew deep down this was where she needed to be, she needed to work for Torchwood and help others. She stuff that she never dreamed off, stuff she never wanted to see but she also helped people and saved lives. She was finally part of something that she wanted to be part of.
