Gwendolin (BTD7PotA)

Gwendolin is a Hero and the deuteragonist of BTD Heroes and BTD7: Planet of the Apes. She also appears briefly in Quincy Sr: The First Hero and Quincy: A BTD Story.

Early Life (events of Quincy Sr.: The First Hero)
As a child, Gwendolin and many other infants were abducted by the Bloons in an attempt to brainwash them into an army of evil soldiers. This was stopped by Quincy Sr. however (Quincy Sr. is the father of the hero Quincy. This was a few months before Quincy Jr was born, which means that this was several decades before the events of the official BTD6.)

6 years later, Gwen and her parents were in an alley when they were attacked by a group of Bloons. They gunned down her mother and held a pistol to her father. The resultant emotional triggered her innate pyrokinesis and wiped out all the Bloons at once before they could do more harm. After this, her hands still on fire, she began staring at the flames. The camera tilted to the reflections in her eyes being filled with fire, hinting that this is likely where Gwen began developing her mild pyromania.

Levels

 * Level 1 - Blasts Bloons with fire from her pyro gun (flamethrower).
 * Level 2 - Slightly increases popping power and range.
 * Level 3 - Unlocks Cocktail of Fire. When used, this ability will throw a flaming bottle onto the track that will continue to burn for about half the cooldown of the ability. When bloons are in Gwendolin’s range, she aims it at the furthest bloons advanced. When there are no bloons in her range, or if they’re camo bloons that she cannot detect, she throws the cocktail to a random spot in her range.
 * Level 4 - Unlocks “Heat It Up,” an ability that periodically creates a powerful blast of fire around Gwendolin that pops Bloons, and adds fire to nearby Monkeys' attacks. This buff allows nearby affected towers to pop lead bloons and gives them +2 pierce.
 * Level 5 - Increased popping power.
 * Level 6 - Attacks can sometimes cause a burn effect on a targeted bloon.
 * Level 7 - Increased range for “Heat It Up.”
 * Level 8 - Shoots two flames per shot.
 * Level 9 - Initial hit for every blast pops one extra bloon layer.
 * Level 10 - Unlocks Firestorm. This ability ignites all bloons, burning about 2 layers per second. It also does 10 damage per second to MOAB class bloons.
 * Level 11 - Increased attack range.
 * Level 12 - Increased attack speed.
 * Level 13 - Greatly increased popping power.
 * Level 14 - Cocktail of Fire does extra damage.
 * Level 15 - Increased attack speed.
 * Level 16 - Allows Gwendolin to pop Purple Bloons, and Firestorm lasts longer.
 * Level 17 - Nearby monkeys can pop one extra bloon layer per attack when under the effect of “Heat It Up.”
 * Level 18 - Increased attack speed.
 * Level 19 - Shoots 3 blasts of fire per shot.
 * Level 20 - Firestorm does hugely increased damage. The flames now inflict multiple layers of damage at a time to bloons and do 25 damage per second to MOAB class.
 * Level 21 - Fire blasts are replaced by a constant stream of fire that have 2,000 pierce and inflict extremely high DPS
 * Level 22 - Gwendolin constantly spawns a swirl of fireballs like a bullet hell to do area-denial damage to Bloons.
 * Level 23 - Gwendolin automatically throws her Cocktail of Fire at Bloons every second. The Ability version of the Cocktail now has 2.3x radius and tremendously increased damage.
 * Level 24 - The DoT inflicted by her Firestorm ability can now inflict 200 damage per frame.
 * Level 25 - Gwendolin unleashes her full power. All the projectiles she releases become blue fire (a much hotter form of fire). Firestorm ability becomes Ultimate Firestorm, and can one-shot multiple BADs. The stream of flames from her gun leaves large explosions on every Bloon it hits. When upgrading, there will be a 5-second delay before the upgrade takes place. During this time period, Gwendolin will be surrounded by blue particles and her eyes will turn blue. Then, the upgrade takes place with a giant, blinding explosion of blue flame. Some of Gwendolin's quotes are replaced by new ones. All the attacks she does have 100x damage and 25x fire rate.

Trivia

 * Gwendolin has a mild case of pyromania, a disorder where individuals have an obsessive desire to set fire to things.
 * When Gwendolin reaches Lvl 25, it drastically buffs her powers but at the cost of worsening her pyromania, making her more like Firefly from DC Comics.
