SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

• ESFJ, grows into personality much like Madeline.
• Gordon or GOREY (as he would insist you call him) is the very definition of a bully-- loud and abrasive and strong. And intimidating too... So intimidating that even adults have issues keeping him under control!! (unless they earn his respect)
• BACK IN THE DAYYY (when he was human), he and his partner-in-crime, Elsa Griffith, gallivanted about the school yard having "adventures" and play-acting "battles." (IE beating up smaller children and taking their "loot.") Although they took on a seemingly infinite amount of roles each time they headed out, Gorey's favourite persona is that of a hero-soldier. ..JUST LIKE HIS DADDY.
• Yes, Gorey loves talking about his father. He loves talking about his father... A lot. (when he had the ability to talk, anyways) He takes extreme "pride" in the senior's "accomplishments" and loves making OUTRAGEOUSLY TALL and inconsistent TALES about him. (Said stories are often used to somehow "justify" his own incessant assholery) 
• Forgets his own lies, often. When confronted about this, he gets super defensive and violent.
• He is by all means NOT a sociopath and mostly the more vicious shit he pulls is due to Elsa's urging.

ABILITIES.

• Pretty strong for his age. He can't fly as a bugbear btw...

SIMON'S PAST

• HE ONE SHRED OF TRUTH in Gorey's stories is that his father was, indeed, a soldier in the war. However, the senior Bishop died unglamorously bed-ridden with Spanish Flu when Gorey was six. Not by "heroic sacrifice."
• For the most part, Gordon feels ASHAMEDDD of how his daddy went, so he worships an essentially made-up father persona.
• He lives now with his soft-spoken, but loving mother and his disciplinarian grandma (father's mother) who he hates.
• Was ttly turnt into a bugbear on a trip to the zoo last year, has been trying to escape from angsting in the bear exhibit since.
• ... [CONTINUED ONTO A NEXT UNIVERSE]
• A few years later and Gorey is back home and WWII has started. 
• He meets Madeline and they fight over her cat Gigi... and then they get kidnapped by a pair of clouds to save the skies. 

SIMON'S RELATIONSHIPS

• Simon: Likes bullying Simon the most!
•  Edie: Doesn't beat up little girls! That's just wrong.
  
• Elsa: Best friend! BELIEVES SHE IS A MAN AND TREATS HER LIKE A FELLOW SOLDIER. SHE'S BEEN ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR HIM SINCE HIS DISAPPEARANCE. BECAUSE ADVENTURE JUST ISN'T AS FUN BY YOURSELF.
  
  Eventually, they drift apart when they grow older.
• Madeline:LIKES PROVOKING MADELINE, but grows to respect her [and she him].
• Cicero: Totally homo for Cicero. I mean good friends. Cicero likes trying to keep madeline from ripping off Gorey's head.
  
  He respects Cicero because Cicero is an expert flyer.. and eventually has Cicero uneasily become his confidant.
• Is also totally homo for Eli. 
  
  ...I mean rivals. Yes, rivals.
  

OTHER SHIT

• In Britain, a bugbear is the equivalent of a boogeyman. My version of a bugbear is literal, though LMAO.
• Took vocal lessons at Tremaine academy.
• Not a good singer b/c he mostly ditches with Elsa
• I'm not sure what he grows up to be...!

AU NOTES

• In Harry Potter he is a gryffindor. 
• In His Dark Materials universe, his daemon is that of a BEARRRRRR... YEE...
• And narnia...
• sob.

Creator Insight:

• As I mentioned in Madeline's profile, she and Gorey are really old characters for my really old universe Fledglings!! Their names used to be William and Jane, and they were basically a bunch of British cliches strung together HA HA. I totally overhauled them, so they're a tad more original!
• I'm actually rather fond of Gorey, and I should use him more. His personality pleases me. I love bratty shoutas that grow up well TURNS HEAD. I guess the only reason why I like Simon more than Gorey is because Simon has a more prominent role in KTIC, is green, and has freckles!
