TD x Kingdom Hearts: Keyblade Wielder Gwen!👽😈🖌️❤️🗝️🔑

THY PATIENCE HAS BEEN REWARDED! NEW WIELDER INCOMING!!

Not just a goth girl, THE goth girl who rose above the ranks in the first season and proved herself capable of more than she figured while making friends along the way has received her Keyblade!!!😁😁

STORY TIME!

Gwen had her life in… kind of a weird spot after World Tour: While she had her peace for the most part, she had almost no friends to turn to and while she had love, she paid a big price for it. So what happens when she’s chosen and thrown back into Total Drama for an All-Stars season… alongside those she had burned bridges with? Furthermore, did I mention she had love? Well… not anymore. In this story, before All-Stars even began, she dumped Duncan, a boy she grew attached and interested in but also got together with while he was still dating someone else, Courtney. Naturally, Gwen’s actions regarding the love triangle between the three of them has made her a villain to the eyes of a lot of people, therefore, Chris puts her in the Villainous Vultures. And yes, Courtney is still furious at both her and Duncan.

What Gwen did NOT expect though coming back into TD and on the very first challenge was an invasion. An invasion… of Heartless. The creatures started to appear on the lake’s waters and even further into land. This causes Sora, the newcomer, the Hero of Light, to go back and forth inside the water to take care of the Heartless using his Keyblade, something that catches the attention of Heather and Anne Maria, who try to snatch it out of his hands to open the hotel doors. However, on one instance, when Gwen falls off the cliff towards the water, Sora notices the fall and dives underwater to save her, killing off any Heartless that start to surround her. As he saves her and the chaos keeps brewing, Sora quickly tells Gwen about the Heartless and asks her to be careful. Gwen, feeling grateful about the save, agrees and tries to continue the challenge.

After the whole challenge is pretty much soiled by the Heartless, Sora takes it upon himself to defeat a Darkside forming in front of the hotel, effectively revealing his Keyblade to his castmates and one of his missions while on the island. Despite the Heroes ultimately winning because they figured out Sora was the Key to open the hotel, Gwen is one of the few on team villain who appreciates Sora and how he went out of his way to help. She wasn’t vindictive at all.

From that point on, the two start to talk more, with Gwen even sharing that she could use a friend… considering that at that point she doesn’t have anybody. Sora reassures her that whatever she did wrong won’t be enough to sway his opinion of her and actually thinks she’s a cool person and even better friend, making Gwen smile. Even when he finds out about it, he’s not mad, he’s determined to help her.

Sora’s selflessness and courage day by day inspire Gwen to try and fix things little by little with a lot of her castmates. She starts off talking to Leshawna, one of her closest friends on TDI, and expresses her regret for hitting Harold with that shovel and for not talking to her properly about things. Leshawna acknowledges that what she needed was for Gwen to admit she made a mistake before forgiving her, and given that she just did, she hugs it out with her, thankful that her friend is starting to see the light again. Gwen does the same with Bridgette next, in fact, the two were starting to approach each other again even as the season began but their friendship isn’t rekindled fully until Gwen has this thorough talk with her, where she expresses that she’s sorry for causing a conflict between her and Geoff in the Aftermath and for reading her email out loud. Bridge, on her part, tells her that she has done things to her that she’s not proud of either and asks for forgiveness too, which she gets. The two make amends and become friends once more

Gwen’s Heart becoming more and more back into the light from the darkness that was her mistakes makes it grow and strengthen more, which makes Sora happy. Her heart’s strength manages to rise above so much that she’s bequeathed her own Keyblade: Midnight Blue. She’s the first of everyone to receive hers, shocking the rest! But Sora sees how she could have gained it and offers her the chance to help him fight the darkness off the Island, training her, while at the same time helping each other in any way they can.

Gwen agrees, and becomes one of Sora’s first party members in Camp Wawanakwa.

Further along the story, she makes amends with Courtney too and reveals why Duncan and her broke up before AS: Duncan still talked heavily about Courtney, making Gwen realize that he’s not over her… I’ll leave things at that for now.

Gwen can balance physical attacks and magic well and has access to two form changes as the story progresses: Anti Form, which is product of some darkness still stirring in her, and Final Form, which she gets thanks to her growth and her status as an OG F3.

And that’s her story! Hope you liked it!

I am SO SORRY it took this long for a new artwork you guys, but I go back and forth between art blocks and I wanted to get Gwen right, more because I absolutely love her. Honestly, I am SO HAPPY with how she turned out! She looks so cool and her Station of Awakening is amazing too!

She will become a print and sticker soon! Print first though. And she will be a new piece for both my store and will be available at my booth at Pop-Up Hanami this coming Saturday at UBC! If you’re around Vancouver, come say hello!!

Gwen’s Station of Awakening includes: Sora, Leshawna, Courtney, Bridgette, Duncan, and Trent (but he’s covered by Gwen herself😅)

Anyway, I’ll leave you guys with the artworks for now, hoping you enjoy them! Thanks for all your support!

As always…

Visual chart of which keyblade master taught which user. I wanted to make a visual reminder so I'm sharing it.

I assume Odin also taught Yen Sid but there's no proof of it as it could be a colleague of his, likewise I assume Ephemer taught whoever taught (however many spaces before) whoever taught Odin.

Meet Claire!

My Kingdom Hearts OC. She’s super old, I made her back when I was in High School ages ago. She was initially supposed to be part of the Destiny Islands gang, but honestly it’d make more sense if she was from Radiant Garden.
