[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] " [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] " [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_m]Roberts[/name_m] ( 12 ) is [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's sister who was also adopted by the same family. She is happy that her caseworker and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's caseworker [name_f]Laura[/name_f] were able to work together and make sure that the family could adopt both of them after they expressed the willingness to do so. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] goes to all of [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's softball matches and also frequently watches her do skateboard tricks, even though it doesn’t really interest her. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] 's ambition is to become a fashion designer one day, she’s obsessed with magazines and the embodiment of a fashoniasta. Her adoptive mom is a screenwriter , so [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] hopes that she can use her mom’s connections in showbiz to have her own fashion shows in the future.
More specifically [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] 's mom is the director the western [name_f]My[/name_f] Horse’s Calling about a cowboy who helps a female vet report the abusive behaviour of another cowboy towards his horses , but then has to save the vet when she gets kidnapped upon disovering that the animal exploitation is actually something that the local authorities make money off of by selling the horses to circuses and for meat even though the documents suggest that they should be working horses on the abusive cowboy’s ranch.
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] really thinks that [name_f]My[/name_f] Horse’s Calling , starring [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_u]Mika[/name_u] in the main role , is a romantic one with lots of masculine energy and chivalry from the male actor while saving [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] 's character , [name_f]Willa[/name_f] , but also avoids the pitfalls of making [name_f]Willa[/name_f] a typical " damsel in distress " and a passive person while her own story is carrying out. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] has met the male actor playing the main role a few times when [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's mom invited him over to discuss the script . He made [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] blush everytime because he always had a new piece of clothing , a plushie or sweet treat to bring to both girls while also bringing a houseplant or another gift for the parents.
[name_f]Maddie[/name_f] laughs at it , but knows it’s natural for 12 year-olds to start developing crushes, she just likes the opportunity to playfully embarass her sister.
The only thing that [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] regrets is that the family had to move from Hillsboro to Nashivlle and she & [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] had to move schools due to her mom’s responsibilites on the set of the movie. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's dad had no problem moving because he works in the health sector as an insurance verification specialist and most of his work is done in home office anyway. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] didn’t trust him at first because her biological father would use the excuse of " working in home offfice " to get drunk and assult their biological mother - who 's currently in prison for embezzlement - while in reality he was not working at all and in many instances it was a sign that he just got fired from a job but doesn’t want to tell the truth. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] both love their adoptive family and don’t know whether they will ever trust their biological dad to reenter their life or if they will visit their mother in prison when they inveitably move back to Oregon after their adoptive mother 's screenwriting job expires. What [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] want to focus on is their togetherness and spreading love in their adoptive family. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] has even spotted a leaflet for [name_f]Laura[/name_f] 's [name_u]New[/name_u] Years show when walking home from school and gave it to [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though they didn’t know that [name_f]Laura[/name_f] moved as well, they would like to go there with their adoptive parents and use the opportunity to thank [name_f]Laura[/name_f] for the positive contribuiton she made in [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] 's but especially [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] 's life.
