Gillington "Gil" Webber

Gillington "Gil" Webber is a character from the Monster High franchise.

Gil is a river monster and a student at Monster High. Gil comes from a traditional household in which women are expected to take care of the men in their life. Gil does not necessarily share this belief, but lacks the means and motivation to openly disagree. The cost of this usually is for his girlfriend, Lagoona Blue, who not only is not the kind to pamper anyone, but also a sea monster, a species river monsters look down on. Gil is slowly unlearning his parents' prejudices thanks to Lagoona's efforts. While he is kind and cares deeply for his girlfriend, Gil has a cowardly streak and is often too scared to properly stand up for himself and his relationship, which puts strain on him and Lagoona. In extremely high-stakes situations, however, Gil can generally be counted on to intervene.

In the AWA fics, Gil is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Gil has light blue skin (or scales) and spiky fins protruding from his neck, forearms and legs. He has one big fin on the top of head that is styled like a mohawk, and flips over to one side.

Personality
Gil is laid-back and sensitive. Out of all of the jocks, Gil seems to be the most considerate, as seen when he tried to help Frankie Stein hook up Slo Mo and Ghoulia Yelps. He also avoided his love interest Lagoona Blue out of fear of hurting her feelings. It is shown in "Escape From Skull Shores", that when he is scared, he lowers his head into his tank. He is frightened easily but due to his good nature, has the capacity to be stronger than he may first appear.

Abilities
He has the abilities of a water-based monster, being a true water monster, but most of them come from being all fish:
 * Underwater Breathing and All-Around Water Breathing: Gil has the ability to do this easily, since he is a water monster and has gills, but since he is all fish, he apparently has no lungs and has no ability to breathe air at all. Gil can keep this by always wearing a water helmet on land, to which having his head in the water all the time sort of makes his voice sound a little more bubbly than what it sounds like when his head is not touching water. He does however, have the ability to breathe for a short period of time without his water helmet according to as seen in, "Hatch Me If You Can" and "Fright On!".

Skillset
He has the typical skillset of any water-based monster:
 * Swimming: Just like any other water monster, fresh or salt, Gil has the great ability to swim at top swift speeds, even tying with his girlfriend Lagoona in "Fear Pressure" in a swimming race.

Trivia

 * His first speaking appearance is in the webisode "Blue Lagoona". Gil was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal for Volumes 1 and 2. Then, starting with Volume 3, he is voiced by Evan Smith.
 * In both "Hyde and Shriek" and "Nefera Again" Lagoona comments that she hasn't seen Gil all summer, with the other ghouls reassuring her that he must just be busy. However, in "Back-to-Ghoul", it is revealed that Gil was actually sent away to another school by his parents, just as he had said they would do. Gil comes back to Monster High in "Here Comes Treble", and he and Lagoona resume their relationship.
