Gwendolyn Duet
also known as Gwen, Crawler #1,293,776
Seen face to face for the first time since a brief prior-floor fist bump: a solid, roughly 45-year-old woman standing about five feet tall, with a weathered double-V tribal forehead tattoo and simple arrowhead-tipped line tattoos on the backs of her hands and fingers, worn under a glowing metal skull cap. Carl reads her build as built on hard labor, guessing dock work, farming, or construction, and pegs her forehead tattoo as older than her time in the dungeon. Canadian and of First Nations origin, per Carl's own earlier conversations with her. No-nonsense and openly impatient with the delay Katia Grim's promise has cost her team.

System message
No data on this one yet. It either hasn't mattered, or it is about to.
System message
Stats unknown. Rest assured the dungeon has precise figures on exactly how underwhelming they are.
Skills
Fights alongside Katia against a wave of feral pazuzu and scorpion men, vaulting over attackers and moving with her almost like a single pack hunterB4C29
System message
No spells or skills on record. Punching things very hard is not a skill until the dungeon says it is.
