Gwen's Pesonality: Gwen is a free-spirited individual with artistic inclinations, traits of which would put her at odds with the types of ethics her father tried to instill. She has an interest in music, hence her role as a drummer in the Mary Janes, and a love for corn dogs. Like her father, Gwen possesses a strong sense of justice and is a natural detective, both of which catered well to her decision to become a superhero after receiving her powers.

In her earlier adventures, Gwen relished in the attention as Spider-Woman, opting to exploit and maintain it rather than use her abilities altruistically; however, her behavior changed when her father expressed his belief that Spider-Woman could easily help people. After Peter Parker, who had mutated into the Lizard, died in a fight against her, Gwen harbored an immense amount of guilt, and her being blamed by the public for his death only served to worsen it greatly. Regardless, she had a strong enough will to continue being Spider-Woman, no matter how much enmity much of the world had for her.

Unfortunately, Gwen's protective nature has given way to desperation and vengeance at times, as she had been prompted her to commit terrible actions or at least consider them. Most notably her response to her powers diminishing and the mounting charges against her father, when she entered a deal with the Matt Murdock of her dimension, which led to a series of disastrous events, including her union with the symbiote and her intentions to kill Murdock for his transgressions.

At the end of the day, Gwen is willing to take responsibility for her actions and recklessness. This is shown after she spared Murdock, in which she revealed her identity and turned herself into the authorities, as well as accepting her conviction and a one-year sentencing to a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. She even declined Captain America's offer to join a task force as recompense for her sentencing, opting to carry out her sentence and endure the abuses she faced in prison.

After her release from prison, Gwen had struggled to balance her civilian and superhero lives. She realized it was foolish of her to expect to return to a normal life, and lamented the fact that she no longer had a secret identity, but struggled onward as best she could. Upon realizing she could carry out a normal life in the Prime Marvel Universe, she decided to enroll in the ESU located there and came to enjoy the lifestyle split between there and her own dimension. When coming to terms with her present circumstances, she decided to rebrand her superhero identity after something Miles Morales had said to her when he first saw she had survived their latest encounter with the Inheritors, "Ghost-Spider," believing that "death follows [her]."

After bonding with the symbiote, Gwen initially regretted becoming host to it. Noticing that since bonding with it she became much more aggressive and violent. She had also become wary of it's behavior, such as dispensing "gummy spiders" she is not controlling, the frequent headaches, and occasional blackouts. However, she also acknowledges that it is a living creature that is her responsibility, and she has taken it upon herself to show it a better path alternative to the more destructive nature its inclined to.

Gwen's Reputation: Initially, Gwen's reputation as Spider-Woman was favorable. However, after Peter Parker died fighting her as the Lizard, the public largely blamed her for his death, and the NYPD and S.H.I.E.L.D. sought her capture. In the NYPD, some had even considered Spider-Woman to be more of a dangerous animal to be put down than a criminal. Unsurprisingly, the John Jonah Jameson of her dimension had largely opposed her and branded her a menace, which had pedigree due to the concurrent warrant for her arrest.

After revealing her identity and finishing her prison sentence. The public's reception of her had improved considerably, with J.J. Jameson even publicly welcoming her back to the city on television (though it was most likely to improve his own reputation). As of now, she is currently able to work closely with most forms of authority in New York, particularly the NYPD, as the officers now know of her relations to Captain Stacy. However, some people still harbor resentment towards her, as shown when told to leave a restaurant when on a date with Harry, and Gwen herself struggled to deal with the attention she was getting.

Ultimately, Gwen later decides to go to Earth-616 to attend the ESU located there. As the newly dubbed "Ghost-Spider," she was received warmly there as a partner of Spider-Man, but at the same time, the public does not know her identity.

Gwen's Relationships: Peter Parker of Earth-616, having been in a relationship with his own dimension's Gwen Stacy and deeply affected by her death, was shocked to see Gwen among the many Spider people recruited to fight the Inheritors. Initially, Peter refused to endanger Gwen in any way, but they eventually compromised as the conflict with the Inheritors escalated, promising to look out for each other. Following the Inheritors' defeat, Gwen and Peter have a platonic relationship and the latter welcomed Gwen to his dimension when she decided to enroll in the ESU there.

Gwen had developed romantic feelings for Miles Morales, which were reciprocated by the latter. When traveling to multiple dimensions, Gwen had discovered Earth-8, a dimension in which versions of herself and Miles were happily married and with two kids, who both possess abilities similar to their parents. Unfortunately, the two were eventually forced to part ways and returned to their own dimensions. Gwen had also went on to date the Harry Osborn of her dimension some time after mourning the Spiders who were killed during the Spider-Geddon event. However, Gwen quickly found herself to be reluctant to go any further with it, as she had realized how no longer having a secret identity hurt her chances at having a normal life, as well as endangered those around her.

Upon learning of Em Jay's feelings for her, Gwen admitted to caring for Em Jay. However, events with the Carnage symbiote prevented Gwen from confirming if she might have been attracted to Em Jay or not.
