Gilbert is a tree frog of Daku swamp, and he is the Familiar of Marianne, and one of the Prophesized Three.
Early Life[]
- Gilbert lived with his extended family in the marshes. He is the oldest son of the chief of the Daku swamp, his birthplace. Daku is a very swampy place and no matter where the familiars looked they couldn't keep their eyes off of something that was green. Gilbert is the firstborn along with his 64 brothers and sisters.
Physical Appearance[]
Green with a white underbelly and orange feet, one which has seven toes, and large red eyes. He is also known to be pretty weak for a tree frog. This is especially true when he is seen side-by-side with his little brother Phillip. He also have a seven-toed back foot, which formed when he was practising misspelt spell with Marianne.
Personality and Traits[]
Gilbert can be brave in dire situations but tends to avoid danger whenever possible in battle. He is caring and worries over dramatic situations. He is also rather clumsy and has a habit of making people laugh unconsciously. Also, Gilbert can't stand quietness and will start humming the Song of the First Phylum (such as when everyone was thinking about what to do and Gilbert suddenly started wondering).
