( Character's Name ) : Garry ( Character's Age ) : Not given. A headcanon I am comfortable using is 24. ( Series ) : Ib ( Canon Point ) : post-Promise of Reunion ending! ( Playability ) : N/A
( History ) : Garry is first met in the game when Ib sees him looking at The Hanged Man painting in the museum. When approached, the man says nothing.
Later, when Ib is sucked into the horror art world, she eventually runs into the man again. He, like Ib, has had his life-force attached to a rose, a blue one, that must be kept healthy. When Ib finds Garry in the art world, he is collapsed on the ground, in a great deal of pain. After taking a key from him, Ib tries to wake Garry up, to no avail. Soon after, though, she finds the blue rose and puts it in water. Garry regains strength, and is delighted to see his is not alone in this horror world. He sticks with Ib because he doesn't want her to be in danger.
The duo goes through a series of room where they most solve puzzles, and eventually they meet a girl named Mary. Shortly after, Garry is separated from the two girls, and both Garry and Mary and Ib must work to reunite. During this time, Garry has a traumatic experience with some dolls, leading up to a giant, terrifying one. He is seen to be quite mad when Ib and Mary find him. Unfortunately, this causes him to forget another experience in his time alone - learning that Mary is in fact a painting and quite dangerous and insane. He quickly remembers, however, when he finds her (fake) rose and she tries to attack him. Garry pushes the little girl away, and tells Ib what he learned about her.
With Mary knocked out, Ib and Garry continue their journey, while they also continue to grow close as friends. Garry suggests they go get macaroons together if they get out... And then quickly corrects himself, saying when they get out. And, in time, they do... But not before a dramatic face-off with Mary. She comes at them with a knife, and Ib finds and burns the frame of her painting. Mary is defeated. The glass of the painting breaks, and cuts Garry's hand; Ib gives him her handkerchief to bandage it up. Because of this, they are able to remember each other after finally leaving the horror art world, albeit vaguely at first. They promise to meet up again, as Garry wants to clear Ib's handkerchief before giving it back.
( Personality ) : Garry is a character we learn little about, and his history is a complete unknown, in particular. However, here is what we can say about him:
Garry is a somewhat unusual young man. Though he tries to be an adult for Ib, he is quite cowardly, jumping and screaming at almost every single thing in the painting world. He’s easy to spook, and when he is, he can act out, such as when he tries to break a mannequin head that startled him. When on his own, she does a fair bit of running away and just worrying about his situation.
But Garry does not only worry about himself, and this is where her inner courage comes through. For example, in one version of the story, he runs to save Ib from Mary when Mary's true colors are revealed, getting between them and attacking Mary. He’s constantly worried about Ib's safety and trying to take care of her; he wraps her up in her jacket and finds a safe room for her when she gets too tired out. In fact, in one ending, Garry sacrifices his life to save Ib’s, and makes no complaints about it. He is very caring and polite, and generally quite friendly, being sweet to Mary when he first meets her and eagerly encouraging the second girl to go with him and Ib to find a way back to the art gallery.
Garry is noted to have some behaviors that are stereotypically deemed very “feminine”, such as a way of speaking that involves calling people ‘dear’ often, an interest in fashion – shown by his interest in Ib’s outfit – and being easily startled. He’s also generally a bit odd, shown to be fairly comfortable with her safety lying in the hand of two young girls, and being so wrapped up in the painting “The Hanged Man” that he doesn’t even speak to Ib when he first meets her in the art gallery. This is even stranger when one considers that, at one point in the game, Garry may say that he finds art galleries boring.
Gary is socially unusual, as well. He treats Ib as an equal for the most part, except for her initial worries about a child being on her own. He, at one point, refers to Ib as "a tough kid", and seems to admire that about her. In that same scene, he is surprised that Ib, being "tough", is shaken by seeing a portrait of her parents in the horror art world and then talking about not knowing where they are. It seems weird that Garry is surprised that such a thing would bother Ib, as the idea of losing one's parents is very upsetting.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : Strengths: -A strong kick! -Compassionate
