Poo to anyone who doesn't like Gabe! He is easily one the most well rounded and put together characters. By no means a perfect character but he's often a voice of reason and man of honor. he is confident without being arrogant, he works hard towards his goals while remaining modest, he cares for, respects, cheers for and admires his friends whole heartedly. Takes pride in defending Avalor as a guard but doesn't show any sign of needing to be "the hero". He's a natural leader and has shown on more than one occasion that he has strong tactical skills! There are SO MANY times when the phrase "Gabe's right" has been actually uttered from the other characters (I actually made a montage of this at one point lol). If his plans don't work it's usually because someone isn't listening to him or because his sword can't compete with magic. Gabe is SO PURE that I can't understand why anyone would have any reason to not like him. Maybe they like more complex characters and Gabe is already pretty self assured (a bit more maturity if you will?) and his character has a much more subtle growth than the others (might seem boring to some)? The only thing that I can really think of though is that he is initially presented as the guy who is going to save the Princess type guy but the BEST thing about him is that he is SO far from being that guy! So if you're someone who doesn't like Gabe because "Elena can save herself and doesn't need him"... well... you're wrong. You're not wrong that Elena can save herself, but you'd be wrong in judging Gabe on what he looks like/his role as "guard" rather on actually looking at his character to see someone that Elena DOES need. She needs his support, his encouragement, his reason, his ability to slow her down and make her take things one step at a time (Or have an actual plan). All of which he gives her. CONSTANTLY!
