Pudding and Gell are best friends, and have perhaps been friends for longest amongst the established group. Gell really loved Pudding’s attempts to treat her like everyone else while she was in her original form, and now that she too can speak her mind their friendship continues to be very strong. Gell has perhaps more patience for Pudding than anyone else.
Everyone deserves chance to be with Fade! And by everyone, Gell really means herself alone. Not Frisky. She has a huge crush on Fade despite his obliviousness and tends to get overexcited or lose her head around him, even through her efforts to remain calm and cool.
“Hate” is a strong word, but here it works perfectly. Gell has absolutely no tolerance for Frisky on a good day - her frivolous lifestyle and temper tantrums get on Gell’s last nerve. Ever since she discovered that Frisky has somehow managed to lure Fade into her life, her patience has been stretched to the absolute limit. Any interaction Gell has with Frisky is reluctant and borne with distaste, none too gracefully! Frisky is unaware of Gell’s feelings about her, and considers her one of her best friends.
Gell is fairly neutral toward Speedy - he isn’t her best friend, but she appreciates him and doesn’t resent his taking a leadership role in their group. Gell has also long been aware of Speedy’s feelings for Pudding, and sometimes wonders how it took everyone else so long to see them.
Gell and Goo being the same species has made for a pretty fast friendship - they’ve always understood one another very well, and have a sense of togetherness that everybody else can’t quite compete with. Now that they both finally have the ability to speak, they’re closer than ever!
OVERTURE:
In Pudding’s room, Gell discovers with her that there is a new neighbour living by Pudding’s house. Gell is then unceremoniously tossed out the window to go investigate, and throws herself against the neighbour’s door (in lieu of knocking) and meets Speedy.
As Gell can only say “Sticky!” she still somehow manages to convey to Speedy that he should go to the neighbouring house’s window and meet Pudding.
Though Gell does not have any other interactions in this chapter, she still appears often, observing (although not interfering with) the chapter’s events.
She later goes to Speedy’s house with Pudding to play video games.
Trivia:
MAKING FRIENDS:
Gell enters the chapter riding on Fade’s head, clearly extremely happy and very enamoured with him. She explores the forest behind Pudding’s house with Pudding, Speedy, and Fade, and is severely scared by Hurricane when he appears.
Later, at Pudding’s house, Fade squishes her as he excitedly tells Hurricane that he hit him over the head. Gell seems completely fine with this.
GHOST GIRL
Gell briefly appears in this chapter, but does not do anything.
FRISKY'S PARTY
Gell is amongst friends who convince Speedy to come to the party with them, and she rides on Fade’s head to get there. She is seen looking furious when Frisky introduces Fade as her boyfriend, and playing Twister with Goo as the party goes on--her expression suggesting that she alone has realised that the two of them have no limbs, and therefore cannot play Twister.
