Gemma Gleeful
Gemma Gleeful is a reincarnation of Gideon. A student demonologist in the Californian Island Federation, she is Mallory Quicksilver's best friend.[1]
Physical Description
With platinum blonde hair and stylish outfits, Gemma does not fit the typical description of a demonologist. She has a blue tube top and is often described as wearing heels.
After being arrested in the woods, she had to wear an ankle monitor.
Personality
Gemma is a very sunny and enthusiastic person, able to quickly take over any group she is a part of. She cares deeply about her friends and will go to great lengths to protect them.
She is much smarter than many people give her credit for, and she does have a scheming side. She was able to trick Lucy Ann by posing as her friend.
History
Gemma is Mallory Quicksilver's best friend since high school, and also considers herself Dipper Quicksilver's friend. She goes to the same local college as Dipper, while Mallory goes to a college in New Los Angeles. Mallory soon drops out and flies back from NLA to take care of her father, but lies to conceal this from Gemma.
Studying demonology, Gemma and the other Demonology 101 students quickly become frustrated by the restrictions put in place by the school after a large and unexplained spike in demonic energy at the start of the year. Not knowing this is due to Alcor disguising himself as Dipper Quicksilver, they suspect a demon summoner is on campus and form a close-knit group to catch them.
One of the members, Yosieto Xiaofan, is framed by Mallory to throw Dipper off her trail. Mallory asks Gemma for Xiaofan's address the night of the framing, which Gemma believes Mallory was manipulated into doing as she was supposedly in NLA at the time. Xiaofan's voicemail accusations lead Gemma to suspect that Lucy Ann is the demon summoner they have been looking for.
Knowing that Lucy Ann will flee the country if she is directly confronted, Gemma instead pretends to work with Lucy Ann and Dipper. Pretending that her vampire-hunting uncle needs to be scared out of town, she and the other demonology students manage to capture her. However, the plan goes wrong when the Woodsman appears, injures Dipper, and allows Lucy Ann to escape.
Gemma and the other demonology students are harshly punished for appearing to summon a demon; they are expelled, while Gemma is put on house arrest. She continues to work with her group on locating Lucy Ann, believing that capturing her will lead to their punishments being reversed.
She discovers a lead on Lucy Ann's location, but when she goes to tell Dipper, she realises that Mallory had dropped out months ago and was in town the night Xiaofan was framed.
Mallory, realising Gemma is close to uncovering the extent of her crimes, murders her.
