Yall ever think about how our impression of Gideon as āhot dumb jock girlā is like, primary from Gideonās own self-perception? Like, sheās SO in her own head about being this Mighty Warrior Woman (tm) that she actively rejects the idea of paying attention, lest it break that facade.
Like. One of the first things we hear about her doing is faking a signature to get herself off the Ninth. Thatās no small feat, it takes skill, knowledge, and an ability to navigate paperwork to falsify documents like that, the girl isnāt dumb! Sheās just so committed to the warrior savant bit that she avoids all signifiers of intelligence like the plague. Itās fascinating.
