Appearance

Gaz has a gothicesque style of dress — black dress, purple/pink leggings, grey sleeves, purple hair, and skull necklace, although Jhonen Vasquez claims she is just a normal kid and the clothing comes from his own style. She also has noticeably squinty eyes that rarely open up except in moments of total enrapturement, great rage and/or agitation. Her father is Professor Membrane, a world-renowned scientist who is famous for his Science TV show, Probing the Membrane of Science, and for inventions like Super Toast and high-tech machinery. Her brother is Dib, a paranormal investigator who she constantly sneers at, just like she does to everyone and everything else. In fact, she seems to care little about anything besides video games, pizza, drawing pigs, and soda.

Personality

Gaz's character is depicted as very antisocial and preferring to be alone, playing her Game Slave 2 video console rather than dealing with people. In the first season of Invader Zim, most of her on-screen time showed her playing her Game Slave, and she had very few lines. One first season exception is episode 2.B, "NanoZim", where Gaz uses her video game prowess to defeat Zim and his nano-chip micro-suit, thinking she is playing a video game. Gaz has a tendency towards sudden, decisive action, especially sworn acts of violence against those who cross her in her mind, which she can pursue with monomaniacal focus. She also has a great hatred for her brother, and if he annoys her too much she is prone to attack him. For instance, she once cautioned Dib that he would "suffer horribly" were he to interfere with a ceremony that she was conducting. In another episode she beats him up as revenge for giving her enhanced piggy senses. She is also annoyed by his talking, claiming that his voice sends her into great rage. Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by comic book writer/artist Jhonen Vasquez and aired on Nickelodeon. ... NanoZim is an episode of Invader Zim. ...


Gaz is considerable smarter than most Invader Zim characters, who, as a rule, are idiots. Other than Dib, she is also the only human who knows that Zim is an alien, but, unlike her brother who wants to stop him, she merely writes this fact off and leaves Zim to his own devices, treating him with just as much misanthropy as anyone else. Her feelings about Zim are perhaps best summed up in "Bloaty's Pizza Hog," where, in response to Dib pointing out that Zim is trying to take over the world, she stoically replies, "But he's so bad at it." She has actually stopped Zim's plans several times, such as in "NanoZim" and another time rescuing Dib from his clutches. NanoZim is an episode of Invader Zim. ...


Episodes featured in

As the first season went on, Gaz's character developed further with the episode "Game Slave 2". Here, Gaz has her first solo adventure at the City Center Mall waiting to buy the Game Slave 2 handheld, only to see the last of the stock sold to the child accompanying her, who introduces himself as Iggins. In the second season episode, "Gaz, Taster of Pork", she was again to take center stage after her brother Dib accidentally curses her with "enhanced piggy senses" by the usage of a spell drive. She was also featured in a few more episodes, but all including only a few words each of her saying. She was featured in the lice episode saying "Whiner!" to a few people. Gaz on the hunt (riding a scooter). ... McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, Swindon, England, a shopping mall built within a disused railway engine works. ... One of the first handheld game consoles, Ball was the first product in the Game & Watch series. ... The Shadowhog. ...
