From Small Worlds onwards, every time Gwen was in danger I started wishing she'd let someone else be the damsel in distress for once. She never really did.
I think I did that with her in fic once or twice. But there's not always a lot of call for it if there's an artefact in the Hub and everyone else is doing something productive based around it... Hm. This is the trouble with her not having a defined job. I've toyed with the idea of someone else being introduced to the Torchwood team like she was. It goes:
"This is Doctor Owen Harper. He's the medic, and deals with all the biological problems of fighting aliens on Earth. This is Toshiko Sato, mathematical genius and all kinds of tech support. This is Ianto Jones - he cleans up after us, keeps the archives in order, gets us everywhere on time and generally stops Torchwood from crashing down around our ears. And this is Gwen Cooper. She... um. Actually, Gwen, what do you do?"
"She gets us into trouble."
"That's the one, Owen, thanks."
Oh dear. There's not much hope for me being converted, is there? *wince*
