Gill (Gil in the Japanese version) is one of the ten available bachelors that you can marry in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.
Gill is the serious and career minded future mayor. When his father, Hamilton was unable to find a solution to the town's problems, Gill left Castanet to find a solution of his own. Because the island needs significant improvement, Gill will not return until you've rung both the Blue and Green bells. Although puzzled how you could fix the problems before he could, Gill is appreciative and will be available for the course of the game after that point.
Besides working hard to improve Castanet's condition, Gill also appreciates the finer things in life. He stays in the Mayor's home in Harmonica Town when he returns, and will often be seen reading. Well read, and well dressed, Gill is a very sophisicated man.
Although childish at times, Luna has a drive and determination like Gill does, which Gill hasn't yet to find in any of the other women living on the island. Impressing Gill may not mean having to splurge on expensive gems, as he is also impressed by elegant and less expensive items such as flowers.

Marriage Requirements
You will have to wait until finishing the blue bell quest before you can unlock Gill. After ringing both the blue and green bells, Gill will live in town permanently.

Additionally, you must have a level 2 house or bigger, watch all of their heart events, and use the blue feather to propose.
For each bachelor or bachelorette there are a set of events that occur at different heart levels. You must witness them all in order to marry. Events occur at: 2 hearts, 4 hearts, 5 hearts, and 7 hearts. At 9 hearts, you can propose, and you will witness an event where the two of you get engaged. There is also an event for your wedding. You can check heart levels by going into the menu of your game at any time.

The wedding will take place at Celesta Church. On the day of your wedding, you will be automatically taken to the Church. You will meet your fiancee here, along with the guests attending your wedding. At wedding ceremonies, the bride's/groom's family will always appear. Hamilton will appear in every wedding cut scene, and Perry will always be there to make the wedding official.

After the ceremony you will be automatically transported to your home.
At home, your spouse will now live with you permanently. Your wedding ring is now available as an accessory through your dresser, and it is your choice to wear it or not.
Married Life
Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at. You must select a chore to do in between 6 and 7AM, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day.
You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it. Your spouse's birthday is also a date you'll need to remember, as you can celebrate their birthday by giving them a gift during the day, or entering your house after 6PM. Your spouse may still go out and do things that they did before you married them, but they will always return in the evening.
Children
Personality
If you've married Gill, your children have three personality possibilities: Romantic, Quiet, or Scholarly. The Fiery pesonality is not available for any of your children if you are married to Gill. Personalities change depending on who you've married. Your child's personality will change dialogue, as well as what chores they specialize in.
Appearance
Gill's children will always have hair that is a dark/dirty blonde, and eyes that are blue. Your children will always look like your spouse, but with a darker hair color. They will also inherit some of your spouse's personality, but you can choose their personality with a variety of different choices offered at each stage of their growth.
Rival Heart Events
Luna will be the rival candidate for Gill. If the two marry, you'll be able to see their child Vivian in your game. You must trigger all of the rival events between the two for them to get married.
Playing as a male, you must befriend Gill to see these events. If you're a female, you'll need to befriend Luna. Luna and Gill must be unlocked in order to start triggering their events. You must ring the Blue Bell to unlock Luna, and ring the Green Bell in order for Gill to be unlocked.
4 Heart Rival Event 250px|right| To see this event, have Luna at 4 hearts (as a female), or Gill at 4 hearts (as a male). Go to Town Hall between 10AM and 8PM on any day that's not a Sunday.
Luna has come to the Town Hall looking for the Mayor. Gill is there, and explains that Hamilton's not around, but he'll be more then happy to help. Gill's surprised that Luna's come all on her own with no help. Luna says not to underestimate her, as she's very responsible!
Gill says he knows how it feels to be underestimated, and won't do it again.
5 Heart Rival Event
Regardless of if you're playing as a male or female, Gill/Luna must be at 5 hearts.
If you're playing as a female, Luna will come to your house at 5 hearts. She confides in you about her crush on Gill. Because the two of you are friends, she asks for your advice. An option to encourage her to pursue her crush will become available, but if you want to marry Gill yourself, discourage her. Encouraging Luna will make her relieved, and you can continue to work towards the couple's heart events.
The same event happens if you are a male. You will need 5 hearts with Gill (not Luna), and he will come to your house asking about Luna. The same options and scenario will play out. Again, make your decision based on what outcome you're going for.
Proposal (7 Heart Event) 250px|right|
The proposal event can be seen at the Mayor's home during the daytime after watching the previous events between Gill and Luna. To see this event Gill/Luna must be at 7 hearts (depending on what gender you're playing as).
When Luna goes to visit Gill, she finds a Blue Feather that's fallen out of his pocket. She refuses to give it back to Gill and teases him about it. Gill chases after her to get the feather back, but becomes frustrated and calls Luna childish. She becomes upset, but Gill quickly confesses that the feather was for her.
He doesn't want to see her sad, and wants to be with her. When Luna realizes Gill is being serious, she accepts his proposal.
Wedding 250px|right|
Two weeks after the 7 heart event, Gill and Luna will have their wedding ceremony. You will get a letter in your mailbox (regardless of which gender you are) from Gill and Luna asking if you will attend their wedding. The date will be on the invitation, as well as the time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10AM.
On the scheduled wedding date, walk into Celesta Church to see Luna and Gill's wedding. It is very similar to your own wedding. Luna's family, as well as any of Luna and Gill's friends will attend. You will take your seat and watch the ceremony. All you do is sit back and watch as a guest of their wedding.
After Rival Wedding
After Gill and Luna get married, Luna will move into the Mayor's home. She will live with Gill and Hamilton, but still continue to work at Sonata Tailoring.
The both of them can both be easily found at the Mayor's home, or in Harmonica Town.
Two weeks after their wedding ceremony, Luna and Gill will send a letter to your mailbox regarding the birth of their new baby girl named Vivian.
Like all rival children, Vivian will not appear in game if Luna and Gill do not get married.
Random Events
Other than heart events, there are other random events that can happen with Gill in the game by befriending him. These events can be seen by either gender. The requirements for each event will be listed below.
Table Troubles 250px|right To view this event, you must befriend Gill, Bo and Luke all up to 3 hearts or more. Walk into Town Hall in between 8AM and 5PM on a day that it's open.
Luke and Bo have come to listen to Gill's order. Gill wants one of his tables fixed, and hopes that the carpenters can help him. Gill insists that he would like a normal table. Luke, however, has different plans! He wants to make an extreme table, plain is boring! Gill is frustrated that Luke is so fixated on his own thoughts. Bo steps in to diffuse the situation and says that he will try and talk some sense into Luke, before Gill gets too mad!
