Gidget

Gidget (ギジェット) is a member of the Gekkostate. She has a crush on Moondoggie.

She has also made an appearance in the video game Eureka Seven vol.2: The New Vision.

Personality

Gidget is a bit of an airhead, which she admits, but she's not tactless and will go out of her way to protect others' feelings. She is even cheerful, eager to please, and naïve at times. She is fascinated with romantic fantasies due to her dream to be with Moondoggie and go on a date with him, leading many of the crew to take her less serious in situations. Like the rest of the crew, she had a low opinion of Renton, seeing him as "uncool" and "out of fashion", and even teased him of not being Eureka's type after quickly noticing his feelings for her. However, after seeing that Eureka was starting to reciprocate his feelings and was desperate to see him again after he deflected, she felt deep sympathy for Eureka and became very vocal of her support for Eureka and Renton's relationship, to the point where she didn't hesitate to offer advice to Eureka on how to bond with Renton.

Relationships

Moondoggie

She's in a romantic relationship with Moondoggie, but they didn't engage in one until season two despite her constantly talking about her dreams of going on a date with him and being beside him all the time. They ended up becoming a couple after she made the first move. Renton spotted the couple having their first intimate moment while hiding in an abandoned mine in episode 16. It is unknown if they actually had intercourse at the moment, even though Moondoggie was later on seen shirtless and Gidget was no where to be seen. However, while she is clearly in love with him, the true nature of his feelings for her are uncertain, even though he gets annoyed with her advances and yet he doesn't outright reject them. This alone hints that he reciprocates her feelings but is unwilling to be open about them. However, she does get angry at him due to his jealousy towards Renton and thinking he is useless compared to Renton, and once called him an idiot for asking a question on whether or not Renton and Eureka were capable of intercourse due to it being an insensitive and ridiculous question.
