[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- Gwenna grew up in Texas with her mother, father, and two brothers. They were about as average as an all American family could be - they were obsessed with the Dallas cowboys and enjoyed a good BBQ in the summer. You could imagine their surprise when their only daughter began to manifest powers. After all, they had no history of superpowers in their family.
Immediately, Gwenna became obsessed with the image of a superhero. Every day after school she'd plop herself in front of the television and record talk shows on VHS tapes. She'd watch them religiously, memorizing what her favorite heroes said as they sat across from some famous host and chatted about the day-to-day of being awesome. The dream of following in their footsteps developed fast and early, consuming her. Gwenna became engulfed by the idea of moving to New York and getting employed by a company. She wanted to be an icon, to be famous... to be like the heroes on her VHS tapes.
At the age of ten, the Barton family packed up their worldly possessions and moved to The Big Apple. Leaving Texas was a culture shock, but Gwenna's parents were set on having their daughters dreams come to fruition. After hardwork and lots of reaching out, Gwenna was hired just shy of her 12th birthday. She was among the youngest employed in her company and quickly became something akin to a mascot character. The young hero was promised everything: magazine covers, billboards, newspaper features.
They delivered, too. Gwenna was a full fledged company-sponsored hero. They took photos of her, covered Times Square with her face. This persisted for a few years, although her popularity dwindled as she approached sixteen years of age. Trying to replicate the success a child hero brought them, the company hired a young girl, effectively replacing Gwenna's role. Feeling furious and tossed aside, Gwenna showed up at a photo-shoot meant for the young girl and grabbed at the set, tearing it down and setting fire to the scraps.
In the wake of the incident, the company paid off many of the workers on set that day to keep them hush-hush. Ultimately, she was fired for her actions and was told never to return to the company. For two years, Gwenna returned to her life as a normal teen the best she could, though she could never rid herself of wanting to return to the company. At the age of eighteen, Gwenna decided to enroll at Vireximus University as a last ditch effort to show her previous company that she was on the road to becoming more mature.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PRIMARY POWER: THERMAL MANIPULATION. gwenna possesses the ability to manipulate temperature, including both heating objects and cooling them. she utilizes this solely through her hands, that is she must touch the object or person that she is trying to heat or cool. by manipulating the temperature of her hands, she can set them ablaze with a flame, or cause an icy aura to surround them, which she uses for combat. the flame burns orange, about as hot as a house fire (1,200 °C), while the icy aura drops to a temperature of -17 degrees °C. Prolonged contact with her hands could cause serious burns or mild frostbite (puncturing only the skin's top layers and causing pain and blisters). she is able to use two separate temperatures on each hand, though crossfire will cause them to cancel each other out. due to the nature of her powers, gwenna exhibits a certain level of thermal resistence: however, she is only impervious to temperatures that reach what she is able to accomplish. any flame hotter or any temperature cooler than what she is capable of will harm her.
