Hey, how's it going? I understand what you're saying about in the Gaston Legume page that the categories I added last month don't define his character and traits. But does it ever occur to the fact that these categories actually *define* his actions? A character can constitute traits, but traits need to be defined through the actions that the character had done in the story. Think about Gaston's actions:

- he manipulated, tricked and betrayed his fellow villagers into attacking the castle (Master Manipulator, Oppressors, Trickster, Traitor, Vandals, Control Freaks, Criminals)

- he abused his right-hand man LeFou and his buddies whenever things go wrong (even when it's not their fault); he even left LeFou for dead during the castle battle (Abusers, Failure Intolerant)

- he tried to kill both Maurice and the Beast so that he can have Belle for himself (Psychopath, Mentally Ill)

- he shot down a waterfowl and hoisted up the animals' heads on his tavern wall (Animal Cruelty, Murderer)

- he was an former army captain who lead the French army in attacking the Portuguese forces in the live action film (Warlords, Fallen Heroes)

- he pathetically begged the Beast to spare him so that he sneak up and attack him from behind (Cowards, Strategic)

- he also acts as the embodiement of hyper-masculinty (Symbolic)

I know it may seem a little much, but it would be a little exaggerated to think he doesn't fit all these categories because they're "every little thing" that can be implied about them. That's like saying Gaston's not really much of a coward, even though he is actually a dirty coward because he has no qualms in taking "cheap shots" to get what he wants. Even the Cowards category page has a quote of Gaston that can prove the point.

Just think it over and tell me what you think.
