Gwendolyn "Gwen" Cromwell-Piper is the daughter of Aggie and mother of Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie, and widow of William Piper. She was born as a witch in Halloweentown.

Story

In Halloweentown, she keeps Halloweentown a secret from her children and would prefer to raise them as mortal, not allowing anything that has to do with magic or Halloween be mentioned in the house. Dylan agrees with her, but Marnie and Sophie do not like that. Gwen would often fight with her mother on the subject of whether or not she should allow her children to follow their family's tradition, especially Marnie, who is about to lose her powers forever after her 13th Halloween. At the end of the first film, she offers to let Aggie come live with them and agrees to have Marnie do her witch training. Although Gwen accepts her children’s urge to connect more with the magical heritage, she continues to encourage Marnie to not let all that magic go to her head.

In Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Gwen meets a handsome single father named Alex, but doesn't know that he is actually a golem created to lure her into a trap. He takes her to a Halloween party, where the warlock Kal turns her and everyone at the party into monsters. By combining their magic, her family manages to reverse the spell.

In Halloweentown High, she helps Marnie juggle nine teenage kids of different mythical heritage. When they discover that someone is trying to steal their magic by failing Marnie's project, Gwen teleports herself to Halloweentown to find proof for the Halloweentown Council.

In Return to Halloweentown, her children flew off for college and witch training, and she became a real estate agent and used magic to make the houses look better. When Dylan gets turned into a dog, Marnie calls her for her help. She, Marnie, and Dylan combine their magic and "destroy" the Gift together.
