Gidel

Gidel is an event character who appears in Stage in Playful Land ~Dancing Puppets and the Fantastical Theme Park~.

Appearance

Gidel is a young and short cat beastman with a dark complexion and light freckles, sporting spiky brown shoulder-length hair, green eyes, cat ears and a tail. He dons a small light-blue top hat and wears a light-purple dress shirt under a purple bowtie, a cropped yellow jacket and some purple suspenders. The jacket has a golden pin depicting Honest John attached to Gidel's left lapel and has sleeves that are long enough to drape his hands from view. The suspenders have an asymmetrical pattern, with his left side having alternating patterns of light purple stripes and a light-green inner lining while his right side has a yellow inner lining. Additionally, the suspenders have multicolored patches sown onto it, reflecting a life of poverty embellished by fanciful handiwork. Gidel wears brown boots that are a tad too large for him and carries around what looks like a large purple toy hammer (though based on the instances where he uses it for attacks, the hammer is a lot more formidable than it comes off as).

Personality

Often seen right by (his adoptive brother and partner-in-crime) Fellow's side, Gidel's the mild-mannered yes-man and grunt to Fellow's ideas and schemes. He never talks, but he communicates through nods or gestures and appears generally approachable. When Fellow eventually revealed his true nature as a lackey tasked to turn all of the park's visitors into puppets for money, Gidel also showcases a more devious side to him as he seems to harbor no hesitation or remorse for the victims. Gidel generally appears to understand that the world is a harsh place, and is therefore willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his and Fellow's survival.

While Gidel usually goes for whatever Fellow tells him to do, there are instances of him having volition of his own accord: one of which was him telling Fellow to just ditch their employer (the park proprietor) when the older companion expressed his dissatisfaction and internal conflict over working for someone he despises. This goes to show that Gidel ultimately bears no real ill will to the park visitors and bears no personal loyalty to the park proprietor, only going along with it for the sake of Fellow's well-being and ideals.

Trivia

• He shares similarities with Gideon from the Pinocchio film.
• In the English localization server, his name changed to "Gino".
• Gidel is considered mute, despite no explicit statement from the game labeling him so. The decision to have him be this way is most likely influenced by his inspiration: Gideon, who also does not speak.
• Gidel is implied to be quite strong despite his small stature: He has been seen throughout the Playful Land event hauling cages larger than him, hauling immobilized Night Raven students into these cages and bearing the capacity to destroy the park's puppets with a swing of his hammer.
