Before that, the only one that wanted to help was Tandy.

Look at panel 3 again. Gabrielle was confirming whether Tandy's suspicion was true, or not. But she was already poised to take action before the pheromones got to her.Cortez wrote:^Exactly.
I'm fairly certain that Teddi was never in any danger of hospitalization, just as I'm certain the AA students have ways of treating severe injury, given they regularly engage in full-contact combat exams. Otherwise, we would've seen the student elite sporting splints, crutches, and wheelchairs.Lokitsu wrote:Despite Tandy's misgivings, Gabby was clearly willing to wait until she was certain that Teddi had no powers; by which time Teddi was probably going to need an ambulance.
Sure, but not all the time.Lokitsu wrote:Gabby is not a nice person.

Odds are Gabby would've stepped in before things went too
How many of those schools have students and teaching staff with magic and psychic powers?Lokitsu wrote:Time for a reality check:
And those are a few links from just randomly googling the phrase "Bullies put high schooler in hospital"
She was waiting for confirmation, which they wouldn't get if they rushed in immediately. Just because the pheromones kicked in at that moment doesn't mean she would've continued to sit idly by and do nothing.Lokitsu wrote:And no, odds are Tandy might have stepped in before it went too far. You are reading a lot into Gabby's words if you think she was going to help anytime soon.
I doubt Tandy would be friends with her, if she were nearly as bad as she's being made out to be. But since you ask: she gave Callista a shoulder to cry on when she needed it most (look at the last panel, here).Lokitsu wrote:BTW, please name one good thing Gabby has done, not counting the pheromones?
I wasn't heated. My apologies if it seemed that I was.Lokitsu wrote:Quick step back before this gets too heated.
I can agree with that to an extent, but here's all I'm saying:Lokitsu wrote:For the record, I don't believe that Gabby is evil, just not a nice person. She's selfish, conniving and manipulative. However, your last post, Gotoh, reminded me that she's recently (god knows where these timelines intersect) had witches infiltrate her school resulting in her and her friends nearly getting killed.
Agreed.brasca wrote:Gotoh, we've butted heads on more than a few occasions and I think it's because we are both very passionate in our defense of characters we feel are being unfairly criticized.
Fair enough.brasca wrote:Gabrielle hasn't show too many good traits, but then again there really aren't that many heroes in this particular webcomic as it is. And I agree if she was a terrible person Tandy wouldn't be friends with her. And let's not forget that she's still a teenager and they can be the worst. As far as I'm concerned the jury is still out. She may prove to be a better person than we've observed so far.
It kinda does, since Teddi was getting beaten pretty badly by that point, which is why her pheromones went into overdrive in the first place.Gotoh wrote:
