gideon is sleazeball coded but not, ultimately, any kind of sleazeball. A knight errant in a backwards baseball cap. Phyrrha, conversely, is absolutely a sleazeball but when we are best acquainted with her she’s very much trying her best to be good for/too the people around her and the effect is muted. Pyrrha at the height of her sleazy powers was so powerful that John and Augustine are still thinking about it while Mercy pretends not to.
