Biography
to be written
Raised in an unremarkable American suburb by her father and stepmother, Gwenna eventually met the dashing adventurer, Kaza when she was working as a ghostwriter in writing Rockslad's memoir. As her relationship with him improved, she started living in The Naked Jungle with him and started adopting nudism as part of her culture after multiple mishaps with her clothes from doing so, only wearing them during formal events.
The Serpent Sorceress
When the serpent priestess Narlana returned, hoping to revive the snake cult and get revenge upon Kaza, Gwenna helped stop her schemes. This adventure saw her first encounter with George Wimberly.
Situation on Earth-N
Kaza and Gwenna were once asked by Jenny Anywhere to aid her on Earth-N.
That world's Gwen Davis worked as a district attorney in New York City; Jenny Anywhere brought Gwenna from the Naked Jungle to her world to stand in for D.A. Davis during an adventure. (COMIC: Situation on Earth-N)
Unlike the Gwenna of Reality Z-25 31-H, who is a nudist in a world where most people wear clothes, D.A. Davis prefers to go about fully dressed in a world where nudity is popular and commonplace.
Behind the scenes
Origins
Gwenna originated as an obscure public-domain character in the adventures of Jo-Jo, Jungle King. She appeared as Jo-Jo's love interest in the first story in the character's debut issue, where she was depicted as the Queen of the Bonangi. Notably, although she was coloured as white, nothing in the script indicated this. In the next story, Gwenna was replaced with the identically-drawn Geesha — likewise coloured as white, but outright depicted in the script as the daughter of a black man.

Jay Epps paired a rebooted form of Gwenna with an unrelated public-domain “jungle king” character, Kaza, for his webcomic Kaza's Mate, Gwenna. Epps's Gwenna was officially Caucasian, being given a new backstory explaining her presence in the jungle, and eliminating the “queen” element. In her first outing, Epps's Gwenna shared her Golden Age counterpart's black hair. In the next story, Ruthless Ro-Man, this was changed to a dark, reddish brown and finally to outright red hair, which she retained throughout the rest of the webcomic.
