Jimmy Stones

**James "Jimmy" Stones** is a 2020-introduced and all-around character. He is a Australian kid and a student at Enchatria High. Gil comes from a traditional household in which women are expected to take care of the men in their life. Jimmy does not necessarily share this belief, but lacks the means and motivation to openly disagree. The cost of this usually is for his girlfriend, Gina Miller, who not only is not the kind to pamper anyone, but also a aussie man , a species australian human look down on. Jimmy is slowly unlearning his parents' prejudices thanks to Gina's efforts. While he is kind and cares deeply for his girlfriend, Jimmy has a cowardly streak and is often too scared to properly stand up for himself and his relationship, which puts strain on him and Gina. In extremely high-stakes situations, however, Gil can generally be counted on to intervene. He is based on the characteristics from The Creature Of The Black Lagoon.

## Portrayers

His first speaking appearance is in the webisode "Gina's Crush". Gil was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal for Volumes 1 and 2. Then, starting with Volume 3, he is voiced by Evan Smith.

In the Hebrew version, he's voiced by Liron Lev.

## Character

### Personality

Jimmy is laid-back and sensitive. Out of all of the jocks, Gil seems to be the most considerate, as seen when he tried to help Wendy Wonders hook up Brainy Puffies and Elsa McMorgan. He also avoided his love interest Gina Miller out of fear of hurting her feelings. It is shown in "Lost of the Sea Shores", that when he is scared, he lowers his head into his tank. He is frightened easily but due to his good nature, has the capacity to be stronger than he may first appear.

### Appearance

Jimmy has light blue skin (or scales) and spiky fins protruding from his neck, forearms and legs. He has one big fin on the top of head that is styled like a mohawk, and flips over to one side. He has pale yellow eyes, he wears black sandals, grey jeans, a purple shirt, and a monster high uniform jacket with a wave like design at the ends of the sleeves. He also wears a helmet filled with water, that way he can breath on land.

## Classic Monster

It is unknown exactly which River Monster he is a descendant of but the most prominent is the Kelpie, a demonic water horse that is said the haunt the rivers of Ireland and Scotland. They are known to attract people, sometimes going under the guise of a spirited horse or a beautiful woman, to then lure them into a river and drown or eat them.

Other possible parents include Jenny Greenteeth, an English River Hag; the Nix, shapeshifting River spirits from Germany; the Merrow, the freshwater equivalent of mermaids in Irish mythology; the Rusalka, succubus-like mermaids from Russian tales; or White River Monster or Hudson River Monster from American local legend-lore.

## Abilities

He has the abilities of a water-based monster, being a true water monster, but most of them come from being all fish:

* **Underwater Breathing and All-Around Water Breathing:** Jimmy has the ability to do this easily, since he is a water monster and has gills, but since he is all fish, he apparently has no lungs and has no ability to breathe air at all. Gil can keep this by always wearing a water helmet on land, to which having his head in the water all the time sort of makes his voice sound a little more bubbly than what it sounds like when his head is not touching water. He does however, have the ability to breathe for a short period of time without his water helmet according to as seen in, "Hatch Me If You Can" and "Fright On!".

### Skillset

He has the typical skillset of any water-based monster:

* **Swimming:** Just like any other water monster, fresh or salt, Gil has the great ability to swim at top swift speeds, even tying with his girlfriend Jimmy in "Fear Pressure" in a swimming race.
* **Skating:** He is a valued member of Monster High's URM team.

## Relationships

### Family

Jimmy is the son of a River Monster, but both his parents are river monsters. Being the son of two freshwater river monsters, who hate sea creatures, it is hard for Jimmy and Gina, a sea monster, to be dating due to his parents. Jimmy's parents are mentioned in "Road to Enchatria Mashionals". Jimmy tells Gina that his parents don't approve of him dating a saltwater-dwelling girl. He was stated as the son of the River Monster in the *Sea Shores* doll assortment. As shown in "Defending Your Gina", his parents are partially shown and they seem to have tentacles of an octopus

### Friends

Jimmy appears to be friends with Brainy Puffies, Timmy Plasience and Keith Evans, and also a friend of Clyde Finster's. According to his profile bio, his BFFs are his girlfriend Gina Miller and also Clyde Finster.

### Romance

Jimmy and Gina like each other a lot, and would date if it weren't for the interference of Gil's parents. In "Hatch Me If You Can", Jimmy is paired with Gina for an assignment, teaching the teenagers how to take care of a baby by using an egg. They take care of their egg, but when they're graded, the egg hatches and reveals a minion. Jimmy comments that theirs was the only one to hatch, indicating they were good parents.

Later in "Don't Cheer the Creature", Jimmy avoids Gina until she confronts him. He regretfully tells Gina that his parents don't want him hanging around her anymore because she's from the sea. He apologizes and leaves her in tears. Sometime between "Queen of the Scrammed" and "HooDoo You Like?" he lies to Gina and says his parents are okay with the relationship so as not to hurt her feelings, which Gina finds out about in "Year the Book". They hold hands in "Peer Pressure" after they both win an award on the swim team.

When Gina finds out Jimmy lied, she encourages him to be true to himself, and in "Desperate Hours" he tells his parents that they were wrong about seafolk, as well as telling Gina that they will date whether or not his parents approve. In "Miss Information", Gina asks if he'll be around during the summer and they jokingly embrace one another. Gina nicknames Jimmy 'Freshy' and Jimmy calls her 'Salty'.

In both "Hyde and Sneak" and "Nina Again" Gina comments that she hasn't seen Jimmy all summer, with the other girls reassuring her that he must just be busy. However, in "Back-to-School", it is revealed that Jimmy was actually sent away to another school by his parents, just as he had said they would do. Jimmy comes back to Monster High in "Here Comes Trouble", and he and Gina resume their relationship.
