Guen at around 16 or 17 when she graduated the Academy. She's much slimmer than ever before or since to departmental guidelines, and her hair is cut in sweeping curtain bangs at the front, the rest in a bun. She's smiling dreamily at the mirror she's looking at.
A year or so later, shorter hair, tattoos and overt chrome concealed. She's wearing a fancy dress, but hasn't given up on her gold necklaces or choker, presumably off the clock. She smiles confidently.
An older Guen leaning into the camera so that we see almost only her face. The muscle is starting to show back up again, and the chrome is there. Her expression is hard to interpret, an uncertainty that's rare in her.
In 2076. Guen is glancing up at the camera with some suspicion. Her hair is back in a mohawk, a darker purple now, and the width of the inked shoulders is evident even from this crop. This is a merc. A solo, maybe?
Guinevere is a late-20's latina with nearly skin-covering colorful tattoos, and the minority of her chrome that's visible, like the cooling structure grafted along the bottom edge of her jaw, is gold-plated. Whether or not it shows here, she is massive at six-foot-seven with a muscular physique that makes her look much more like one of the heavier solos than the netrunner she is. She's clearly been able to use endocrine supplementation and a knowledgeable ripper will notice the gene therapy from childhood. She's pretty, maybe a little unconventionally, but either way her size and intense presence tends to register more intimidating than beautiful on first glance. The tattoos are a mix of styles, though the majority falls somewhere in the style very common in South Heywood, including the skull and marigolds on her chest and the Santa Muerte on her shoulder. Those who know what to look for will notice that despite practically embodying what you might call the Heywood Princess look that a lot of the girls would die to match, she lacks all typical Valentinos membership signifiers. But you don't come out of SoHey looking like this without being connected. Her hair is usually purple, though at times she'll let the synthhair shift back to a more natural dark brunette with very deliberate-looking bleached ends.
Guen's evolution is nice, if a bit sad.
If we start from when she's graduating the Academy to first years at Arasaka, then a few years under her belt, and finally sometime in 2076. She does grow a little sharper, more mature… but it's the eyes. That's the change.
