Gillington “Gil” Webber
Son of the River Monster
I need to study hard if I want to make a big splash in my unlife and become a hydro engineer one day.
Age: 16
Freaky Flaw: I’m not proud of it but I’m afraid of the ocean–okay not the water exactly, but the monsters that make their home there. I know I shouldn’t be, but it’s taken me a long time to get over something I’ve been afraid of since I was just a small fry. Fortunately for me, Lagoona is helping me get over that fear.
Favorite Food: Seaweed. I know it’s a little exotic for a freshwater monster, but I really love it.
Favorite Activity: I love to swim. I know that might seem like a total no-brainer but I really do. I guess it would be the same as a dry land monster who likes to run. It really gives me a chance to think through things and clear my gills.
Killer Style: Going from the water to dry land is a big adjustment, so wearing shorts, tank tops and flip-flops helps me feel comfortable when I’m walking around and not swimming. Plus, with my helmet, trying to wear anything with a tight collar is totally out of the question.
Pet: I don’t have a pet right now, but I get to hang out with Lagoona’s pet piranha Neptuna, which is almost like having a pet of my own.
Pet Peeve: When fresh-water monsters talk about salt-water creatures like they are some kind of second-class monsters. We’re all monsters and the way we treat each other means more than what kind of water we swim in.
