Agatha Gillman is the deuteragonist in the DreamWorks film, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. She is Ruby and Sam's mother, Arthur's wife, Brill's older sister and daughter of Grandmamah.
Background[]
Official Description[]
- Agatha Gillman has adapted well to life on land as a realtor in Oceanside. She is very protective of her family and children, forbidding the kids to go near the ocean. Ruby later learns that this rule was made because the female krakens in her family, including Agatha, are very powerful and of royal blood.[1]
Personality[]
Agatha is a well-caring and observant mother who wants nothing but the best for her family, after leaving her mother and the Kraken Kingdom the year after her daughter's birth alongside Arthur in favor to move to the surface.
Agatha is fiercefully overprotective, especially to Ruby as she has listed a comically large list of anti-ocean rules - and despite Ruby's pleas of wanting to go to a prom that was on a boat, she still disagrees to let Ruby go to prom even if Ruby insists absolute safety for the prom; all simply because the prom was on a boat, which would float above water.
Physical Appearance[]
In her normal form, Agatha has aquamarine skin, purple tentacle hair styled into a top bun, and turquoise eyes. She also wears eyeshadow and lipstick, being two shades of purple. Her most distinctive physical attribute are her ears, which resemble pectoral fins. For attire, Agatha is always seen wearing business clothing: consisting of a pair of thin framed glasses, fancy golden earrings with tear drop-shaped pearls, a beige-colored checkered suit with a white button-up shirt, white socks, and dark purple heeled flats.
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 around her body to resemble a symmetrical design, small spiky shoulder pads and longer hair.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
- Body armor: Even though it isn't shown in the film, it is clear that Agatha shares the same power with her mother and daughter.
- Super speed: Agatha has a really strong super speed, as it shows when she returns to the kraken kingdom to deal with her mother.
- Laser eyes: Agatha possesses the same laser eyes as her mother and daughter. She, Grandmamah and Ruby use their laser eyes to destroy the trident and defeat Nerissa.

Trivia[]

- Kirsten Dunst, Hayley Atwell, Katie Holmes, Regina King, Uma Thurman, Laura Dern, Claudia Wells, Laura San Giacomo, Stephanie Courtney, Jane Pratt, Mary Louise Parker, Catherine McCormick, Gates McFadden, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Cheri Oteri, Kate Beckinsale, Nicole de Boer, Amy Smart, Margot Robbie (turned it down because she was already committed to Barbie), Nia Long and Chloë Sevigny have been shortlisted for the role of Agatha before Toni Collette won the part.
- Agatha is similar to Ming Lee from Disney•Pixar film, Turning Red. They're both overprotective of their respective daughters, they both keep their daughters' heritages a secret, their daughters both have issues with them upon finding out about their heritages, and they later reconcile with them. However, unlike Ming, Agatha isn't strict and doesn't start out as an anti-heroine.
