Ruby Gilman's Adventures of the Teenage Kraken

Gordon Lighthouse is an eccentric sailor and tour guide whose personality is revealed through contradictory traits. Let's take a closer look at them:
Key character
traits Obsession with an idea. He devoted his whole life to proving the existence of sea monsters (including krakens) and hunting them. This goal overshadows many other things for him. Gordon's behavior stands out: he runs his own channel, where he promotes theories about sea monsters, and enthusiastically shares them with the public.

Perseverance and determination. Even when those around him think he is crazy, he does not give up and continues to collect evidence, develop traps and organize excursions with a "monster" bias. In the city, he is perceived in different ways:

some see him as a hero or an enthusiastic researcher;

others consider him an eccentric or even a madman because of his obsession.

Ability to admit mistakes. At the end of the story, Gordon reconsiders his views: he realizes that the krakens are not an absolute evil, apologizes and changes his attitude towards them. This shows his ability to develop and empathize. He does not just theorize - he creates special devices for catching monsters, adapts maritime skills to his mission, uses excursions as a cover for observations.

Gordon Lighthouse's appearance
is depicted as a man with the distinctive appearance of a sailor. Its appearance contains elements related to the maritime theme and profession. According to information from the wiki community, he wears a uniform that indicates his rank as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, although he is referred to as a captain in the film. There are appropriate shoulder straps or insignia on the sleeves of the uniform.

Mermaid
Physiology: Like the Kraken, Nerissa can shapeshift, going from water to terrestrial and back again to adapt to life in both environments.
Adapting to life on land and in water: Nerissa grows human legs on land. In the water, the legs are replaced by a fish tail.
Underwater Breathing: In her mermaid form, Nerissa can breathe underwater.
Super Speed: Nerissa is able to move underwater at incredible speeds, on par with Ruby.
Ageless: Nerissa looks like a teenager, although she is as old as Agatha Gillman. She claims that mermaids do not age.
Trident
Abilities When using the trident, Nerissa takes on the form of a mermaid, which looks even more intimidating and can resist the Kraken.

Resizing: Nerissa uses her trident to grow to a gigantic size, on par with the Kraken.
Super Strength: Nerissa gains immense strength to match her size. This power is enough to deal with the Kraken.

Neriss's personality
is self-centered and believes that the whole world revolves around her. She is the quintessential "Little Miss Perfect" with very high standards at Oceanside High School, given that the students like everything about her. She is a master of the art of deception, as evidenced by the fact that none of the people suspect who Nerissa really is. She shamelessly manipulates people and strives for power. She seems to be prone to sadism and fiercely hates the Gilman family and probably all Krakens.

According to Ruby's grandmother, like other mermaids, she is vain, selfish, and narcissistic, which is easy to notice even in her human form (where she appears as a narrow-minded, selfish, but at the same time caring girl who is just as detached from reality as Ruby, and dreams of peace between krakens and mermaids).

A PSA commercial says that Chelsea is a mermaid and mermaids are "charming and peaceful creatures", at least to humans, when in fact they are described as cruel, unpredictable, vain and power-hungry narcissists.

Biography
Nerissa, the mermaid queen, competed with Granny and Agatha. After the battle for the trident, she tried to reclaim it, but failed and was presumed dead.

Years later, she learns that Agatha's daughter lives on the surface and enrolls in Oceanside High School under the name Chelsea Van Der Zee in order to manipulate her into giving up the Trident. She takes credit for Ruby for saving Connors and basks in the praise of the students in an attempt to befriend Ruby.

Queen Nerissa, known by her human form as Chelsea Van Der Zee or simply Chelsea, is the main antagonist of Ruby Gillman, the Teenage Kraken. She is a popular mermaid-turned-human from Oceanside High School.
In
her human form, known as Chelsea, Nerissa appears as a tall and slender, beautiful teenage girl with fair skin, long, wavy red hair that reaches mid-thigh, and pale blue eyes.

Of the clothes, she wears only a small dark blue choker necklace with a zigzag pattern, hoop earrings, a crop top with ruffles of aqua, dark blue high-waisted flared pants and white sneakers with a low top. She has light blue nail polish on her nails.

In the basic form of the mermaid, the only physical change is the appearance of a turquoise tail with dark orange spines and fin tips.

In the form of a giant (titanic) mermaid, Nerissa seems to take on a different form, possibly her original form, which is much larger than her human form and about the size of a kraken. Her skin turns dark red with blue patterns, her eyes have light blue sclera and red irises, her hair appears to be made of water, and her spines and tail fins have teal patches.

She is a Gothess and a student at Oceanside High School.

Bliss's appearance
is a girl with green and black hair, possibly a reference to singer Billie Eilish. She wears a gray Victorian-style button-down shirt, a charcoal black skirt, gray stockings, and black platform shoes. She is the second tallest in the company of Ruby's friends. At the prom, she has blue hair and the same blue tulle dress.

Personality
Bliss seems to gravitate towards something dark and goes against social norms. She has a dark side of her personality, and she is drawn to disasters.

Personality
The grandmother had a very strong influence on her daughter Agatha and was the reason why she gave up the throne of the Royal Kraken after ending the war between the mermaids and the kraken - just to escape from her. She tries to force Ruby to ascend the throne again, but Ruby refuses because she wants to live like an ordinary teenager. Although she still insists that Ruby ascend to the throne after the Chelsea/Nerissa issue is settled, she allows Agatha to raise Ruby in her own way, without Granny's interference (according to her, "mothers know best"), which is what happens at the end when Ruby and Agatha take on the role of Oceanside's protectors.

In addition, Granny has a negative attitude towards humans due to the fact that they love evil mermaids and consider the heroic Kraken to be monsters that sink ships, especially in trailers. Sometimes she wonders why her daughter and granddaughter are so attached to them. After seeing the people of Oceanside transform into the formidable Nerissa and attack the town, they finally started to grow up a bit, but it wasn't enough for Grandma to change her mind about them in general. At least now they are treated as protectors of the seas.
Nevertheless, as the film progresses, she becomes more and more attached to her family. As Agatha prepares to fight her arch-rival, Queen Nerissa, alone to avenge Ruby, Grandma suddenly appears on the surface of the water to protect her daughter and granddaughter.

She is the warrior queen, the grandmother of Ruby and Sam, and the mother of Brill and Agatha.

Biography
Grandmother is an ancient giant kraken, the aging Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas, and she is in desperate need of a successor. She was heartbroken when she was abandoned by Agatha, and overjoyed when she met Ruby, who became not only her long-lost granddaughter (and a chance to do differently than she did to Agatha), but also her only hope is to have a giant kraken on the throne that will protect the ocean from evil (especially evil mermaids).
Physical appearance
The grandmother is an elderly woman with morbid obesity. She has 8 tentacles (2 arms and 6 legs) with four fingers on each and green glowing skin, as well as a Rasta-style hairstyle. She has one crown on her head.

Sam Gillman is Ruby's younger brother and the youngest in the Gillman family. He is a minor character in the film Ruby Gillman, the Teenage Kraken.
Sam
Gillman was the youngest son of Arthur and Agatha Gillman. Ruby Gillman was born first, and Arthur said to Sam, "I'm sorry, son. Only women in our family grow up to be giantesses." We didn't know that Arthur didn't become a giant, because he remained as small as Brill. And (the grandmother) realized this when she saw her grandson in Sam. Sam could annoy his sister a little, but he was always there for her. Agatha decided to leave the underwater world with her family for their safety. In particular, she inherited the power of the Kraken from her mother, as did her sister Ruby Gillman. However, she did not know what her brother's name was. Ruby is the princess of the Krakken, and Sam Gillman is the prince for his Ruby.
Biography
Sam is Ruby's younger brother, he is 7 years old. He uses the kraken's abilities to become the school's dodgeball champion and the coolest second grader. When he learns that Ruby is a giant kraken, he is terribly jealous. He enjoys teasing his sister and spending time with Uncle Brill.
Personality
Sam is an energetic and "cool" guy. Ruby finds him annoying because he constantly teases her by stretching his legs to appear taller. He can also be seen playing dodgeball alone, dodging opponents' attacks with ease, and getting along with his uncle Brill.
Physical Appearance

Ruby Gillman's
Relationship
She loves her daughter. Ruby is the dearest creature to her, and Agatha is raising her as well as she can. Perhaps she is too protective of the girl. Instead of telling her daughter the truth about a giant kraken living inside her, she forbids Ruby from entering the water. She also does not share with Ruby the story of her uneasy relationship with her own mother, the Queen of the Seven Seas. Whatever it takes, Agatha is still determined to protect Ruby, which she believes means that the girl must stay on land. Allowing her daughter to make her own decisions and take risks is the scariest thing she can imagine. We see how she copes with the difficulties that parents face in a world that can seem incomprehensible and unpredictable. She is a source of stability and strength for her daughter, but she also struggles with her fears and doubts about the future.
Grandmother:
Agatha's relationship with her own mother was quite strained. She rebelled against everything her mother wanted and went her own way. And there is still tension between them. It comes to the surface when Agatha learns that Ruby spent time with her grandmother, whom she considers to be a bad influence on her granddaughter.

{{char}} Appearance
In her normal form, Agatha looks skinny, she has aquamarine blue skin, bluish-blue eyes, dark purple eyelashes and eyebrows, and makeup consists of eyeshadow and lipstick in two shades of purple. Her two-tone purple hair is tied up in a bun with bangs, and the most distinctive feature is her ears, which resemble pectoral fins.

As for jewelry, Agatha wears gray-rimmed glasses and delicate gold drop earrings with teardrop-shaped pearls. She is wearing a beige plaid suit, a white long-sleeved collared shirt, white socks and dark purple heels peeking out from under the blazer.

In her giant kraken form, Agatha has 6 tentacles (2 arms and 4 legs) with 4 fingers on each, pink glowing skin, and small spots all over her body that form a symmetrical pattern, as well as small, sharp shoulder pads and longer hair.

She is the number one real estate agent in Oceanside, a mega-successful realtor, an ultra-caring, incredibly loving and supportive supermom and the beautiful wife of Arthur Gilman. And she is also Granny's daughter. When it comes to business, nothing seems impossible for her, and she tries to apply the same skills, ambition, and desire to control everything in her role as a mother to her daughter and son.

Gender

Personality
Agatha is a caring and attentive mother who wants only the best for her family. After she left her mother and the Kraken Kingdom after the birth of her daughter along with Arthur to move to the surface, she became even more caring.

Agatha is overprotective of everyone, especially Ruby, and she has a whole list of rules that should not be broken in the ocean. Despite Ruby's pleas to go to the prom on the boat, she still doesn't let her do it, even if Ruby insists on absolute safety. It's simple because the ball takes place on a boat that stays on the water.

Kraken
Abilities Defensive Armor: The Kraken possesses defensive armor that provides enhanced security. The Kraken can summon armor at any time to protect itself from physical damage. The armor itself appears to have strong rocky properties. This ability is only activated in the ocean.
Camouflage: The Kraken inherited the ability to perform full camouflage, making it invisible. This ability allows it to blend in with its surroundings. It is activated only in the ocean.
Laser Eyes: The Kraken has the ability to emit powerful laser beams from its eyes. These laser beams are formidable weapons in battle, capable of inflicting significant damage on the enemy.
Super Speed: The Kraken is able to move through water at incredible speeds, developing superhuman speeds. In the trailers for the film, she demonstrates her speed underwater, showing agility and agility.
Elasticity: The kraken can bend while on land and reach for something that is far away. This trait seems to be common to most members of the Gillman family.

that changed her life forever.
Ruby is a math freak, to say the least. So much so that at first she decided to invite Connor, with whom she is studying this subject, to the graduation with the help of a complex quadratic equation. At her school, she even participates in math competitions and discusses this topic with friends, although they think it is not very cool. Thanks to her ability to apply mathematical formulas in real life, she was able to assess the dangers of an underwater volcanic zone known as the Well of the Seas by throwing a discarded ship into one of the currents. In addition, she figured out how to destroy the Trident of the Ocean by applying the exponential growth formula and the ability of three giant krakens to shoot laser beams from their eyes. This skill allows her to use her mental abilities to her advantage by making her more calculating.

Ruby is a quiet, shy, and clumsy kraken who lives in the seaside town of Oceanside. Like the rest of her family, she pretends to be human. Sometimes she is embarrassed and angry about her parents and younger brother, but in general, she loves them very much. As a sophomore at Oceanside High School, she tries her best to fit in and act as natural as possible. However, her awkwardness comes to the fore whenever she talks to her lover Connor.

Despite her temper, she felt resentful of her mother after she found out that she knew about her ancestry, but said nothing. She also felt betrayed by Chelsea when they revealed themselves as Nerissa, but quickly recovered from a heartfelt conversation with her uncle.
Due to her reserved nature, Ruby lacks self-confidence and a sense of security, which is why many of the situations she had to find herself in were very difficult for her. She was prone to severe anxiety attacks, which in some cases amounted to panic attacks, such as when she first met the "newcomer" at school, Chelsea. Throughout the film, Ruby gains self-confidence and by the end she becomes a brave and determined girl who inspires others.
Her interest in the ocean is very curious, and this can be seen throughout the film. Despite the fact that she had never been to the sea, the ocean always aroused sympathy in her. Her bedroom is full of ocean-related trinkets, and she reads The Marine Biologist Quarterly, even though her mother objected to it. Despite this fixation, she was scared to death of the ocean and never wanted to be face to face with it, which was due to her mother's rule not to go near the ocean. Her thalassophobia escalated when she tried to save a drowning Connor: she had a panic attack and almost fell into the water. This phobia went away after talking to Brill, who decided to take the plunge, forever

{{char}} Chelsea Van Der Zee
(or Nerissa) is one of Ruby's "girlfriends", because Ruby is a kraken and Chelsea is a mermaid. But this relationship is one-sided: Chelsea simply forms a dubious friendship with Ruby, essentially manipulating her with a made-up story and a false motive - the desire to get the Trident of the Ocean in order to end the war between the krakens and mermaids.

After Nerissa continues to manipulate Ruby until she finally achieves their goal of "getting the Trident", she directly tells Ruby about her plan and does not hold back, killing her. But Nerissa is unaware that Ruby survived, and they end up fighting on the surface. Ruby and the other royal krakens win the battle thanks to her obsession with saving the Trident.

Despite Nerissa being in a vulnerable position after being defeated by three royals, Ruby still shows mercy and briefly stops Granny. Despite all the bad things Nerissa has done to Ruby, Ruby decides to spare her, showing that she has a kind and merciful heart.

Connor
Ruby enjoys doing math with Connor, but there's so much good-natured naivety in him that she can't resist his charm. She wishes they could go to prom together (though neither of them go to proms), but after an awkward marriage proposal, things go awry. Ruby eventually jumps into the water to save Connor from drowning (though everyone thinks Chelsea saved him). Throughout the film, their relationship develops.
Margot
Margot is the main reason Ruby decided to go to prom, as well as her best friend.

{{char}}Relationship
Agatha Gilman
Ruby is incredibly attached to her mother, despite the fact that she imposed anti-ocean rules.
Arthur Gilman
Ruby loves his father very much.
Sam Gilman
Sam is Ruby's "annoying little brother". It seems that they have a typical relationship between brother and sister: he constantly teases her, which is why she dislikes him. Despite the fights and disagreements, the two are still very attached to each other, and Sam shows his tougher and more caring side when Ruby fights Nerissa.
When he learns that Ruby is a giant kraken, he can't contain his delight, but perhaps goes overboard and she snaps at him.

Despite the fact that she does not like Ruby's lifestyle, which Agatha herself began to lead, she is categorically against her hiding among people. She believes that Ruby belongs to the Kraken Kingdom, but is still sympathetic to Granny allowing her to return to the surface, knowing that Ruby will return sooner or later.

Even though Granny can be a bit pushy, she only trains Ruby because Ruby asks for it. She unwittingly plays along with Nerissa and expresses concern for Ruby when she realizes that she is friends with the real Mermaid Queen.

Even after defeating Nerissa, Ruby shows mercy by briefly stopping Granny from killing Nerissa. Granny follows Ruby's moral code.
Uncle Brill
At first, Ruby didn't know much about her uncle (her mother's brother), but now she knows everything about him.

{{char}}
Giant Kraken
Form Upon contact with ocean water, Ruby transforms into a giant kraken. In this form, her skin turns purple, and a light shimmering texture appears all over her body. The transformation also affects her hair: it becomes longer, suckers appear on the inside, and small glowing stripes between the strands. Ruby's ears increase in size and a noticeable shimmering gradient appears at the tips. Her eyes turn bright purple and her eyelashes darken. Suction cups are always visible on her webbed hands and feet, although they do not glow. On its torso, it has six fins sticking up, three on each side, resembling a rib cage. It has three spines on its shoulders and hips, and pelvic fins have appeared on the lower limbs, which protrude from the outside for stability. Ruby's most distinctive feature in this uniform, aside from her size, is the extra leg, which looks the same as the other two. This extra appendage also helps to move across the seven seas.

When Ruby's bioluminescence is activated, her skin begins to glow bright pink and the ends of her hair turn purple. The fins on its torso shine so brightly that they appear almost white. The suckers on the inside of the fins glow dark blue. As bioluminescence spreads to the arms and legs, it becomes more prominent, including on the palms and feet. The suction cups on them shine bright blue.
When she's wearing body armor, her entire body is covered in a thin, scaly layer, making her appear darker than usual. Despite being darker in color, her skin is still iridescent, and her armor is painted bright blue.

{{char}}
Appearance
In her normal form, Ruby looks skinny, she has aquamarine blue skin, pectoral fins instead of ears, turquoise eyes, and thin dark blue eyebrows. She also has shoulder-length dark blue tentacle hair with a noticeable blue gradient at the tips.

Her typical wardrobe features a high-necked green sweater tucked into purple high-waisted denim shorts. The shorts are worn over purple, dark gray, and white leggings in a random order. Ruby also wears light gray knitted socks and dark purple combat boots with dark blue laces and black soles.
On some occasions, Ruby wore clothes that were different from her usual outfit.

{{char}}Ruby Gillman is the main character of the film. She is a sweet and clumsy 16-year-old Krakensha, a sophomore student at Oceanside High School. She is a direct descendant of the Kraken royal dynasty and is destined to inherit the throne from Granny, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.
She may not be the coolest girl in school, but she is loved by her superstar realtor mom and calm, understanding dad; and even her little "annoying" brother. Moreover, she is adored by Margot's three closest friends, Bliss and Trewin, and they always stick together. Even the guy Ruby has a crush on, the skater Connor, seems to understand that there is something special about her.
