ABOUT
(tw – drug misuse and addiction) Loud and some might say obnoxious, Gwen is the rebel child and evil twin of the Crawford clan, coming across as abrasive at times, but those closest to her know that it’s just her prickly exterior hiding a big heart. She’s Nicky’s polar opposite and the two don’t really look that alike (at least not to each other anyway), but are often mistaken for the same person, and many people have assumed that Gwen is Nicky's alter ego rather than a person in her own right. Gwen finds this hilarious, and the two play into it, never being in the same room in public to make sure they confuse people more. It didn’t help that while Nicky went to an exclusive private school in LA, Gwen fought hard to remain in public school where she felt most comfortable, and as for press photos? Well, socially awkward and introverted Nicky avoided the camera, where as extrovert and desperate for attention Gwen would strike a pose and play up to them as much as possible. Gwen fostered a love of music from a young age, easily as bright as her twin but hated being at school, thriving more in LA where there was glitz, glamour, and bustling parties around whenever the mood struck. She was always independent no matter how many people thought she was a figment of Nicky’s imagination, but that didn't mean she found it easy when Nicky moved back to London and she stayed in LA, kind of adrift without her, but determined to not let it show. She did attend PSU for nearly two years to study Music, but dropped out only a semester into her sophomore year when she got sick of it, determined not to be miserable anymore just for the sake of conforming. Instead, she spent her 20s touring the country with an indie rock band, honing her guitar skills, drinking and drugging and causing mayhem. Inevitably, Gwen developed a drug problem that in turn caused some serious cardiac issues, but she was still unwilling to admit she had a problem. In the midst of all of this, she went to get Nicky from London after she decided to divorce Hugo, kicking him in the nuts for good measure as they were leaving. She’d never liked him anyway, and having her twin sister back in her life seemed to start to pull her out of her downward spiral. But it was having to have a heart valve replacement before 30 that truly shook Gwen to her core, and after that she vowed to get clean and stay that way, for her family as much as herself. Gwen stayed put in LA after her recovery, eventually landing a job with Indigo Sounds as part of their in-house band, thrilled to be pursuing music in a far healthier environment than she previously had.
