Name: Gigi, Experiment 007
Years Active: 2
Sex: Female
Primary Function: Annoying Jumba's neighbors with her incessant barking
Abilities: Gigi has the appearance and all the behaviors of an Earth dog. Even Jumba has a hard time recognizing her as one of his experiments! She knows all the basic tricks, including, sit, lie down, and fetch. She also speaks fluent English.
Weaknesses: Gigi's actual yapping can hardly be called incessant. She usually only barks when she thinks she's in danger, meaning she doesn't achieve her primary function. Gigi was also not designed for combat. She's utterly defenseless when it comes to battle.
Personality: Gigi is Best in Show and she knows it. Proud of her status and a little bit vain, Gigi enjoys strutting her stuff and being pampered. That said, Gigi is fiercely loyal to Myrtle and will immediately jump to protect her when she's in danger. She also enjoys being part of a family and is friendly toward most of the other experiments. She has a bit of a sassy streak as well.
Home Planet: Earth
One True Place: As Myrtle's pet
Past: Almost immediately after she was activated on Earth, animal control caught Experiment 007 and took her to the pound because they thought she was a stray dog. 007 stayed there for a few days until Mrs. Edmonds adopted her, assuming she was a purebred Shih Tzu. Mrs. Edmonds intended to give 007 as a present to her daughter Myrtle. Myrtle loved 007 instantly. Naming her Gigi, she pampered her with ribbons and trips to the pet spa. Myrtle also hoped to enter Gigi in the junior dog show in Honolulu. She and Gigi spent many hours practicing basic dog commands.
During her time with Myrtle, Gigi learned that she had an ongoing rivalry with another Earth girl named Lilo. Lilo was friends with another one of Jumba's experiments, an indestructible fighter who went by Stitch. Gigi's first encounter with Lilo and Stitch didn't go so well - Stitch tried to eat her! When Myrtle and Gigi arrived in Honolulu for the dog show a few days later, only to find that Lilo and Stitch had entered too, they were more determined to win than ever.
During the actual dog show, Gigi breezed past the rest of the competition. Granted, she had a little help from Myrtle, who employed some rather... dubious methods to ensure that Stitch didn't stand a chance. But just as Myrtle and Gigi were being awarded the Best in Show trophy, Gantu arrived. He knew Gigi was an experiment and wanted to capture her for Dr. Hamsterviel. He would have succeeded too, if Lilo and Stitch hadn't been there. Bitter rivalry or not, Lilo couldn't stand to see Myrtle devastated over the loss of her beloved pet. She pulled out a bottle of Kona coffee - which was usually forbidden because it made Stitch go crazy - offered some to Stitch, and sent him after Gantu. A moment later, Stitch had sounded defeated Gantu, and Gigi was safely back in Myrtle's arms. Myrtle was so (begrudgingly) thankful that she handed her trophy over to Lilo and Stitch as an act of gratitude.
A few months later, Myrtle and Gigi were captured by Leroy, who was rounding up the experiments for Dr. Hamsterviel. Gigi was present for the battle against the Leroy clones, although she didn't participate in the fight itself. She did, however, heroically push Myrtle out of the way of a plasma blast heading right toward them, and also cheered her cousins on. Clip eating off one of the Leroys' fur? Nice!
After the battle, Gigi convinced Myrtle to attend the ohana photo at Lilo and Stitch's house. Gigi loved being part of a big family and wanted Myrtle to feel the same way. Currently Gigi is still living happily with Myrtle, although the peace may come to an end with the arrival of Experiment 621...
Boochiboo: None at the moment, although she may or may not have a crush on Stitch after he saved her from Gantu! X3
