it is so funny that the entire first book Gideon has this vibe that’s like, silent and severe skull-painted becloaked nun of the grim and grisly Ninth, and everyone is like :o she’s so silent and severe and becloaked :o

and then without fail every time someone hears her talk for the first time she’s like “lol sex pal. asshole. your mom” and everyone goes oh :/ i see
