Background
Early Life
Gwen was originally crafted as a doll by a seamstress named Isolde, embodying her desire for adventure and royalty. Isolde loved her doll very much and would spend hours sewing and playing with her. Eventually, Isolde would be courted by 
Viego, the king of Camavor, and would no longer have time to play with her cherished doll. At first, Gwen could sense that Viego made her creator happy, but their love would sour and become painful. Isolde would fall ill due to an assassin's blade and eventually pass. Viego took Isolde's corpse to the Blessed Isles in hopes of reviving her, but unleashed ruination instead. Without their king, the nation of Camavor would crumble and Gwen would be forgotten for centuries.
Contemporary history
Gwen would eventually find herself on the Shadow Isles when Viego was awakened by 
Gangplank and 
Thresh. Viego would be defeated by 
Ahri, 
Braum, 
Illaoi, 
Miss Fortune, 
Pyke, and 
Yasuo and imprisoned within an amulet. The Ruined King would somehow escape the amulet and resume his search for his queen. The fragments of Isolde's soul scattered across Runeterra and imbued themselves into various fetters, one of them being Gwen. Gwen would be brought to life by the fragment of Isolde's soul and found herself with an oversized pair of scissors, needles, and thread. She would soon be attacked by a swarm of wraiths and remembered the pain associated with Viego, she quickly dispatched the wraiths and knew that they were tied with him. Fascinated by the wonders of life, Gwen would set out to explore the world and stop the pain caused by Viego and the Black Mist.
Recent events
Gwen soon found herself at the Sentinels of Light's headquarters where she would meet 
Lucian, 
Senna and a Rookie. She aided them in repelling a swarm of wraiths and joined them in stopping Viego's global harrowing. She would travel with the Sentinels across Runeterra, chasing after the other fetters and repelling Viego's attacks. Along the way, the Sentinels would recruit more fighters into their ranks and Gwen would give haircuts and tailor new uniforms for 
Diana, 
Graves, 
Irelia, 
Olaf, 
Pyke, 
Rengar, 
Riven, and 
Vayne. When Viego obtained most of the fetters, the Sentinels launched one last assault against him on the Shadow Isles. Gwen attempted to bind him within the Hallowed Mist, but Viego quickly dispatched her with a stroke of his blade. He took her, Senna and the Maiden of the Mist to Camavor to resurrect Isolde. Viego tore the fragment of Isolde's soul within Gwen, killing her and the other fetters, and revived his queen. Isolde was horrified at what Viego had done and rejected him. She prompted 
Akshan to kill her with his Absolver and revived Gwen, Senna and the Maiden. Gwen then was able to seal him within the Hallowed Mist and the threat of the Ruined King was over. Gwen reckoned with Senna about Isolde being truly gone now, but was ready to live her life to the fullest.
Appearance
Gwen has the appearance of a pale young woman of medium stature. Her hair is blue and curled up in two long ringlets that are decorated with dark blue ribbons. On her neck and arms she has magical blue marks resembling the stitches of a doll in the same way when she was a normal doll. Her eyes have cross shaped pupils, resembling buttons, with the one on the left being blue and the one on the right being pink.
Gwen typically dresses In a white dress with a black rim and blue chest, decorated with golden details.
Personality
Gwen is a doll given life by the Hallowed Mist and a fragment of Isolde's soul, representing her kindness, love and joy, granting her self awareness and a independent personality.
Having being created as an idealized character by Isolde as a little girl, Gwen has the personality of a idealized princess of fairy tales, highly polite and graceful. She's kind, friendly, and excitable, eager to see the world, curious and in love of everything in it. Having been alive for only a short time, she is terrified of dying.
Although generally friendly and genuine in her niceness, Gwen is not unaware of the darkness of the world. She dutifully fights the evils of the Black Mist to protect the world she was born in, and she has nothing but contempt for the Shadow Isles's most malevolent members, such as Thresh and Viego.
