character's name- Gilbert Nightray
series- Pandora Hearts
character's age- 24. But if you count the time in the abyss he would techically be 109.
canon point- Chapter 56 when Gilbert helps out Break with the Baskervilles. I feel this shows that he has had some development throughout the manga and from this point it showed that he doesn't leave people behind, even when they told him to years ago.
history- Here
personality-
When he was younger and was found by Oscar, Gilbert was someone who started off shy and nervous, always keeping quiet and to himself. Gilbert's views of a servant seem to go to the point of 'The servant needs to protect the master.' This view is a big part of his personality, because of that he will do anything to make sure Oz is safe in anyway he can. Though his over protectiveness of his master was often mocked by Oz himself. The boy took great joy in bullying Gilbert, namely fixating on his fear of cats. No one is really sure why cats scare Gil so much, but it didn't stop Oz from putting his sister's cats on his head or using them to blackmail Gilbert into doing things.
After Oz was sent to the Abyss, Gilbert's personality changed. He becomes even more hard working and dedicated his life to getting his family's chain, Raven, so he could free Oz from the Abyss. Raven was a very proud chain that wanted a strong willed contractor, so Gilbert spent years developing the determination and will strong enough to impress it. Still, he continues to have his moments of failure much like he did as a child servant. Yes, even with all the hard work, Gil is easily manipulated into doing things by people he considers friends. Oz of course being the clearest example. He'd do anything for the boy no matter how degrading (though he'll still complain a whole lot). Break is another one that can easily take advantage of him. Whether he's using him for work purposes or just getting him to make a snack. Gilbert rarely turns down a request from the man. Hell, even Alice on occasion is able to get things out of him. All of which have been food related, like getting him to buy her cooked meat even though Gilbert knows buying it uncooked and cooking it yourself is cheaper.
Another trait he's kept from childhood is his tendency to idolize people. Usually for skills that usually he doesn’t have, or how quickly that person can do something, but mostly for how they treat other people. Even with his bullying, Oz had always been a very kind master and protected Gilbert, much like his first master, Jack. He also idolized Oscar (Oz's uncle) for his kindness and started to imitate the man by taking up the unhealthy habit of smoking just to be more like him. A habit he has been desperately trying to quit ever since, but even with a will strong enough to impress Raven... he still lacks the willpower to break this habit. Even after trying to eight times.
Gilbert also has a fear of cats. It's is a big part of who he is, although it has yet to be explained as to why he has this fear it can often get him into trouble. As a child Oz and other servants would use cats to frighten Gilbert into doing things and as an adult... they do the same. Usually when he sees a cat he'll scream then start to tremble and back away from it. But when they creature touches him? All is lost. He'll freak out and faint or just plain freeze up, even in the middle of a battle. As seem when they stumble into Cheshire's layer. Even thought Cheshire was only partly feline looking (Cat ears and a tail) Gilbert still froze up and became useless during the battle.
It's instances like this that he feels the worse and his circle of friends don't help matters much. They'll often call him useless or a crybaby and though they mean it in a teasing way, it has been shown to deeply effect Gilbert. He's very insecure about not being needed by his master anymore, and will take it very hard when Oz is angry with him. He'll either sulk in a corner, act moody or outright cry until he is forgiven. But his insecurities are mostly brought to light when it comes to Oz's closeness with his chain (Alice). Though she'll never have the same place Oz's life as Gilbert, he is a bit threatened by how attached his master has gotten to her and her equal attachment to him. He worries she'll replace him in some manor and Oz will leave him behind.
The two will often argue over ownership of Oz but even with his dislike of her and insecurities, when he has the choice of saving her or letting her die, he always chooses to save her. This shows how gentle and kind hearted Gilbert really is, despite all the teasing from his friends he still remains loyal to the very end.
facts- anything else we should know?
sample action post-
[Movement coming from the bed, as a head peeks out from underneath the covers. His seaweed colored hair is the first thing to be seen before the person slowly starts to sit up. The man looks around, taking in his new surroundings.]
Where am I? I don’t remember coming here.
[He pauses for a moment before getting out of bed and looking around.]
Break? Oz? Where are you?
[He starts to look around, even looking in some odd places like under the bed before going to the door and opening it. He rushes out, looking startled and confused now.]
What is this? I have to get back to Oz. I promised him 10 minutes!
sample prose post-
'Be back in 10 minutes.'
That was all the time he had to help the idiot known as Xerxes Break, but soon as he sets out to do so, he faltered in his steps, realizing he's in a completely new setting.
There was no more fires, or people running. There weren't even dead bodies littering the floors. This made him question where he had ended up. Walking around, he kept an eye open for any signs of Oz, Alice or anyone he knew from the party. He said he would be back by Oz's side in 10 minutes; it was time to get this right. Time was running low with each passing second
"Oz!" His voice, filled with concern and panic echoed through the hallway. As he moved to the side of the building, he peeked his head around the corner, just to see if anyone was around. No luck, he continued his trek down the corridor in search of his master.
“Oz!” He continued to yell, the walk slowly turning into a run, the time still slipping second by second, turning another corner, he comes to a sudden stop when he's faced with a dead end. This had wasted enough time already and now he had to start all over again! This was too strange, he has to find Oz and get them out of here. He turned back, racing down the halls trying find anything that looked familiar.
He made it back to his starting point looking around he picks another hall to search.
The new search for his master was going to take alot longer than ten minutes.
