Agree. To me, Gwen being half Anodite worked against her as a character. In the Original Series, she was learning to use magic and spells and seeing her improve as time went by and she practiced more felt satisfying. Gwen is the type of person that is very determined and dedicated to achieving something. It felt great to see her develop and improve her abilities and become a powerful sorceress so fast. Even being capable of rivaling Charmcaster and her capabilities in magic. It gave Gwen a lot of credit that she deserved.

Then all of that credit went into the toilet when it turns out that she was half energy-based alien and Gwen was just powerful from the very start. Heck, in an AMA on Reddit that Joe Kelly of MOA did a while back, he said that he rather prefer that Gwen be a sorceress and not a Human/Anodite hybrid.
