Bang Bang
what can I say except
Name: Gwendolyn, 'Gwen'
Age: 60
Species: Android, Pleasure Model (Physical A, Mental A)
Occupation: Right Hand Man to Hades
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Bisexual
Place of Residence: Underworld
Current Location: Underworld
Personality:
★ Professional Actor: Gwen's past as a JoyBot taught her that to survive, she had to be able to put on a charming front. Thus, to almost everyone, she is kind, calm, patient, eloquent, nurturing, helpful, reasonable, and when necessary, seductive. With 30 years as a JoyBot, and her programming designed for just that purpose, she's marvelous at reading people and adjusting her persona to suit their needs without seeming false - all to further her own agenda, of course.
★ Well-Masked Temper: It is fair to say that Gwen is not particularly thrilled with the state the world's in, nor the people around her. She loathes humanity's propensity towards falsehood, faked niceties, and pretense at playing civilized - after all, she's experienced their darker nature first hand. Around those she doesn't have to play pretend for, she can be plenty scathing, blunt, up-front, but honest. She's not cruel, but she is naturally straight-forward and practical. This is one of the reasons she respects Hades; Their mutual loathing for Society's social engineering is a handy point of mutuality.
★ Pragmatic: Gwen's no.1 priority is to get the job done, and get it done right. She runs as tight ship when given a leadership role, and obeys directions to a fault when being led. Most folk assume she is a combat model when encountering this side of her, for her disposition echoes those of military personnel.
★ Distrustful: Having witnessed how two-faced people can be, she generally assumes everyone is a liar and pretender from the get go. It takes a lot to win her trust.
★ Closet Sap: Of the property Gwen owns, that which she covets and hides most fiercely is by far her monstrously large collection of Old Earth Vintage Harlequin Romance novels. If discovered, approaching her about their existence is... unwise.
★ They're Not Banging, Really: Anyone who calls her Persephone or some other clever little reference to this ridiculous Greek Mythos nonsense Hades has going on is at serious risk of being throttled.
★ Numb: Because she can't afford anything else, Gwen is tuned out of her own emotions almost entirely. The only two she seems to register and Rage and Skepticism. She has serious difficulty processing anything else, and they tend to just manifest themselves as anger. Of course, she keeps a lid on this too most of the time in order to get her work done. It explodes elsewhere, particularly in her love for boxing (participating) and wrestling (watching).

★ Riches to Rags:Gwen was designed to be a JoyBot to the Noblus - not one of the unfortunates consigned to a life of pay-to-enter bed chambers, but a civilized, cultured, eloquent companion, a figure to provide stimulation, good conversation, laughter. Due to be sold to House au Olver, current financial competition with a rival House resulted not in her being given as a pet to one of the family, but rather put to use in their ever expanding JoyBar industry. Her initial outrage and lack of co-operation on this front led to funneling down through the system to one of their less... salubrious versions, sold off to an institution that made the 'Joy' part of JoyBar seem cruelly ironic. What occurred there needs not be said (not least because there are children on this site, dammit Jim).
★ Deal with The Devil: When put up for sale once more, Gwen found herself purchased for yet another JoyBar, this one a work in the making. Instead of returning to the tedium of being used by patrons, she found something rather different in Hades, her new owner. To say 'kindred spirits' might be reaching, not to mention presumptuous, but she had perhaps finally found someone who loathes the Noblus and everything they stood for as much as she.
★ Million-Dollar Smile: All those years learning to charm proved to be useful, however. Serving Hades, Gwen helped with the people-facing aspects of setting Underworld up, with PR and charming people in. Nowadays, she serves a similar role in day to day operations - not to mention those involving the Wastes.
★ Again, They're Not Banging: Gwen's feelings about and towards Hades are... complicated. Complicated in the sense that she's got no idea what they are. She can barely even work out when she's happy, let alone anything more intangible. She probably respects him. She thinks. There's a lot of residual hate towards humanity mixed in there, along with what she prays isn't Stockholm Syndrome for his owning her but not being as much of an asshole as previous owners.
Why is nothing ever simple?
