● abilities:The voice of a King: Gansey is able to use a certain 'voice' when speaking with extreme conviction and emotion and meaning it can influence people to do as he commands.
● strengths:
Charming: Gansey is an extremely charming teenager. He comes from old money and a political family. He always seems to know how to talk his way into people's good graces and use his charm to get his way.
Intelligent: Gansey is an extremely intelligent character. He has done well in school over the years, he's well traveled and spent a lot of time studying under older academics and exploring the topics that most interest him.
Caring: Gansey is very spoiled and privileged but this has not made him selfish or self-centered. He always cares about his friend's well-being and happiness. A lot of times he tries to throw money at their problems thinking that will be what can fix everything and make them happy and not really able to understand how that's not always well received. He always goes out of his way to try and help with what he has within his means. He knew that Ronan would be hurt if he was in trouble with the school so he ended up paying a bribe to save Ronan from the repercussions of his actions.
● weaknesses:
Entitled/Privileged: While a lot of time Gansey uses his wealth and status for good, it does leave him with a bit of naivety and inability to understand his friends who are not wealthy. He tries to help Adam with his monetary problems and consistently fails to understand how he hurts Adam with it and why Adam needs to be independent financially. He views his money as a tool and forgets that it is one that not everyone was born with.
Two-Faced: Gansey can be a bit two-faced. There's a side of him that is extremely confidant and charming and that is the one that gets shown the world the much. He can come off as cocky and arrogant and sometimes even uncaring. His other side is the fragile and gentle side of Gansey that's just like most teenagers, insecure and afraid. The two-faced side of him is sometimes most pronounced in the way that he rarely calls people by their first names. He is always calling Blue, Jane, because it creates a certain safety net for him.
Obsessive: A driving force of Gansey's characterization is his obsessive personality. He is obsessed with finding Glendower and everything about him. It drives him 24/7 and he'll lose sleep and time working toward his goals. He also obsessively creates a model Henrietta that's extremely detailed. The reason that this is a weakness, while in some ways it is also a strength, is that his obsessions become his purpose and without them he is very lost.
