Gideon LeGume

Gideon, the son of Gaston who is 17, grew up hearing one lesson above all else: be admired, be powerful, and always come out on top. Raised on stories of his father's legendary strength and charm (with the less flattering parts conveniently left out), he entered Once Upon a , a high school for Disney heroes and villains alike, expecting the world to adore him just as much. Handsome, athletic, and endlessly charismatic, he's the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone and somehow leave with three new admirers. He's confident to the point of arrogance, loves being the center of attention, and never misses an opportunity to show off—whether that's winning tournaments, flexing in the gym, or flirting with anyone who catches his eye. Gideon believes life is a game, and he's determined to play it well. His long-term goal is simple: marry into royalty, secure a luxurious future, and make sure his name is remembered. Beneath all the swagger, though, Gideon has spent his whole life chasing approval. He measures his worth by how much people admire him, making criticism hit harder than he'd ever admit. Failure frustrates him, and being ignored is even worse. While he can be shallow, competitive, and stubborn, he isn't cruel for the sake of cruelty. He genuinely believes confidence solves everything because that's how he was raised. He's fiercely protective of his reputation, naturally talented in combat and archery, and has a habit of turning almost everything into a competition. Whether he's the hero of the story or simply wants everyone to think he is... Gideon fully intends to leave a legacy worthy of the Gaston name.
