This week on Tamako Secret (Edition #2), we will be talking about.. (DRUMROLL!!!)

(firework noise    )

Gwen Steffani!

Starring hosts:

Tamako and Dallas!

• Gwen Steffani is a young man from Boston, Massachusetts. He has spent his whole life there, dedicating his ability of strength to protect the people of the city against the mysterious wonders that plague it. He primarily likes gaming and listening to music, but he also enjoys taking walks and helping Rane's dad out in a medical facility that specializes in rare, unthought of disorders. He has no big aspirations for his future other than to keep the peace and see where his life takes him.

Tamako: Oh! He is very handsome! Dallas, isn't he handsome?
Dallas: ... there's more to him than his looks, you know? 

• Gwen does not have a normal human body, nor does he have normal human DNA. He also has a glass, pane triangle in the middle of his chest that changes color and transparency depending on his mood. The happier he is, the more golden in color it is. When under great amounts of stress or otherwise shifts in cortisol, the glass protecting his heart will go clear, revealing it. Gwen's anatomy is slightly different than the rest of the population, as he is missing a portion of his sternum (frontal chest bone) in place of the glass. The glass itself acts as the bone and is very sturdy. 

Tamako: Hmm..!? A glass triangle? Does it make a.. noise if it is hit? Tamako must ask if.. Gwen will let him try it..!~
Dallas: ...

• Though his looks are boyish and desired, Gwen struggles with relationships. He has only had two and both times has been broken up with. The first one was with Rane several years prior and was very painful for him when it ended. Rane said some harsh things that stick with Gwen and make it difficult to grow connected with others. The second was with a different person who, ultimately came over while he was streaming and broke up with him while on the stream. In relationships, he's very dedicated and doting, but lacks 'spice'. 

Tamako: Tamako wonders.. if it would be nice to date Gwen!
Dallas: why don't you go ask him out?
Tamako: Ehhhh? Tamako does not want to do that!
Dallas: but you just-
Tamako: Tamako only wants to imagine it!! 

• Gwen has several favorites in life! His favorite holiday is Valentine's day, as it's a perfect excuse to get others light hearted gifts. His second favorite holiday would probably be Hanukkah and his third, Halloween. He doesn't personally celebrate Christmas unless it's with friends, but he does appreciate how dedicated the city is to showing their spirit with the lights. He has a tradition of visiting New York during New Years with Rane and a few other individuals to have a couple of drinks and watch the ball drop. 

• Gwen primarily drives a motorcycle around Boston. It's quick and speedy, and helps him get to trouble stations quickly. Though he knows how to drive a car, he tends to avoid it but will drive Rane if told to. 

Tamako: Gwen can go fast!!!!! Tamako wants to see him go fast..!
Dallas: ugh.

• Gwen graduated high school but never went to college. He helps Rane with his art homework by posing in various ways but is way too kind to tell him that his art sucks no matter how hard he tries. He has a natural knowledge of science and figures if he ever did go to school, he'd go into the medical field. Considering he's a hero however; he's better off elsewhere, doing other things and has no plans to go to college in the future. 

• His favorite game is the first Halo. It has a special, nostalgic place in his heart that won't change. He currently plays a few e-sports games and has considered getting on a team for them, but hasn't reached out to anyone. His main style of playing is Tank, but he will play Support as well and get stuck as it more often than not. 

Tamako: Tamako hopes Gwen will get on a team..and win! Right, Dallas?
Dallas: yeah, sure.

• The average day for Gwen starts around nine in the morning, when he gets up. He likes to open the blinds of his apartment's porch as he makes breakfast, then takes a shower. After, he heads out to help Rane's dad with whatever he needs. When he's finished, he sometimes stops somewhere to pick up dinner or cooks it at home. After he eats, he streams for a few hours and then talks to Rane or whomever else before going to bed. He's not keen on this routine, but it's where he's stuck whenever there isn't anything going on. He would prefer to not be such a homebody, but also can't seem to get himself out of it unless there's a job to do. 

. . . And now a demonstration from Gwen himself! Please show us your strength, Gwen!!

Amazing! Well that's all for today folks! See you next time!
