▬▬|═══════ﺤ First Impressions
Δ VISUAL: Gwen is 19 years old and stands at 5'4, with a slender-but-curvy build. Her hair is short and blonde with pink highlights that primarily take over her ends. While she doesn't work out in her free time or anything, the work of being a sword-swinging "superhero" means she has a tiny sprinkling of muscle mass.
Δ FASHION: When Gwenpool isn't adoring her trademark costume, her attire is usually nerdy and tends to reflect her mood. Her superhero suit is a pink-and-white number initially designed by someone who thought she was doing a take on Deadpool, with an attached hood/mask. When Gwen is wearing the mask, much like a classic comic character (i.e. Spider-Man), the pink eyepieces morph with her expression. Her style of clothing outside of that outfit is best summed up as "pink, casual and cute", ranging from comfy-casual to ones with a little more effort. Sometimes stuff in-between. You get the idea.
Δ DEMEANOUR: Gwen is nothing short of bubbly! She tends to stay positive to the point of occasionally coming across as frenzied and absent-minded, and is often quick to quip on her situation regardless of whether or not she's the only one whos' going to get it. She can tone herself down quite a lot when called for, but often tends to have pretty extreme swings from one emotion to the next. She certainly doesn't come across as a typical superhero, and even with the immaculate costume and obvious buttkickin skills, some might be quick to dismiss her as a lunatic.
Δ SOUND: Gwenpool speaks with all the grace of a upbeat fangirl who is both extremely manic and overtly emotional. She does not have a defined VA so read her however you want! When I write her I imagine something between Star Butterfly and Young Justice's Artemis.Δ MENTAL/EXTRA INFORMATION: Crazy! CRAZY! Crazy lady who pushed a dude into a furance in her first issue and is really really trying to be better than that in her later issues! Mentally, Gwen comes across as a happy medium between legitimately manic and a typical fandom-obsessed teenager. A little probing in her mind will also reveal that she truly believes her story of coming from another universe to be fact. She's also crazy, probably.
Her voice carries something of a "cosmic accent" that magic-users may recognize. This is rendered in the form of pink speech bubbles to the reader (that Gwen herself can see while she's in the comic book world). As of an in-universe retcon that takes place in Gwenpool Strikes Back, Gwen now also carries the X-Gene, making her one of Marvel's mutants.

Δ BACITAGGING: Forever. I tend to drop stuff that's crusty only if it's just small talk at that point.
Δ FOURTHWALLING: Huehuehue
Δ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes.
Δ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Very yes.
Δ RELATIONSHIPS: Sounds like a disaster. Lets do it.

Fourthwall breakage is an essential part of who Gwenpool is as a character, even moreso than Wade Wilson, as it explicitly defines how she interacts with her enviornment and those around her. Gwen originally hails from "the real world" and is a heavy consumer of comic books, video games, and other such geekery, with a heavy lean towards the superhero genre,. Dr. Strange likens this to other universes leaving "imprints" on her home universe. This means when she's later transported to the Marvel universe, her basic power is "knowing how the world works and knowing all the secret identities". Plenty of individuals in the Marvel Universe dismiss her fourth wall breaks as Gwen's "Truman Show thing" and try not to engage with it.
If your character is from a well-known pre-2019 canon, especially if they originated in a comic book, there is a high chance that Gwenpool will recognize your character and canon as a fictional one that existed in her world! She is not going to immediately blurt out the fact that anyone is fictional, given close calls due to abuse of this ability (Miles Morales hates her guts and Jane Foster tried to kill her!). Keeping all of this in mind, please let me know how involved you would like this element of Gwen's character to be when she is interacting with yours! Would you like Gwen to recognize them as fictional but not discuss this to their face? Go all-in? Keep it to wink-wink-nudge-nudge hints? Avoid this altogether? Maybe she's familiar with an expy canon that's a lot like your character's? Please let me know your preferences in the comments below!

recognizing a fictional character as a historical figure. Jane Parker Boleyn, Lady of Rochford is so not memorable enough for anyone to know or draw the connection to Parker and her, but if she gets talking about her schoolmates it’s gonna become clear what’s up, henry viii and his six wives even have a simpsons episode about them

her parents probably watched it so she’s likely seen him in passing!

Her wikia page is here, if you want it.
Fortunately Marissa would take any talk of being fictional as some weird parallel Earth stuff, so she would be weirded out but not really judge for it, so yeah, feel free to do whatever you want. Personally I trust you to do what you think is best.
