History: Gwen Stacy's early life is largely uneventful. It is known that she attended high school alongside Peter Parker and Flash Thompson, and that her father, police Captain George Stacy, expected her to follow in his footsteps and join the police academy. Gwen, however, enrolled at Empire State University, where her natural intelligence and scientific aptitude led her to major in biochemistry.
Gwen first became involved with Spider-Man's adventures when he enlisted her help in attempting to cure Dr. Curt Connors, the biochemisty professor at the University, of being the Lizard. Since then, she has aided Spider-Man on several occasions, which has made her father fear for her safety; to alleviate his fears, she has enrolled in a self-defense course offered at the college. These experiences have led her to becoming more self-confident.
It has recently been revealed that Gwen was also bitten by one of the genetically unstable spiders that gave Parker his powers as Spider-Man. It remains to be seen whether Gwen also developed similar powers.

Role-Playing Notes:
Designer's Notes:
1. I'm not entirely sure if this Gwen will suffer the same fate as her mainstream and Ultimate Marvel counterparts (and hence kicking off the Clone Saga story arcs with their numerous retcons over the years; although Ultimate-Gwen does seem to have gotten better). Hence the lack of the Dramatic Death perk or of any Destiny disadvantage.
1a. Given recent events in the comics, I'm pondering having her go Spider-Gwen, and even though Jessica Drew has the Spider-Woman name in the Reboot, I hesitate to call Gwen "Spider-Girl". Also, I think I'll eventually swap out her modeling career for a heavy rocking indy-band musician, like Spider-Gwen.
2. While the entry indicates that she is "studying" combat, she has not been studying long enough to have any points invested in combat skills as yet. It is safe to assume that she would gain Boxing (A) DX-1 [1] – 10 or Brawling (E) DX+0 [1] – 11, and Judo (H) DX-2 [1] – 9 at some point in the near future.
