Behind the scenes[]
- Her hairpiece was originally used on the Ice Skater from Minifigures Series 4.
- Her face is based on the generic face from LEGO City.
- Her torso is a recolored version of a recurring torso from LEGO Town.
- She has a smaller mouth from Season 8 onward.
- Her hair piece in 71799 Ninjago City Markets is different from the one she uses in the show. The reason for this was probably that the original hair piece is retired by 2023.
Trivia[]
- Dareth has proposed to Gayle on several occasions but was consistently rejected.[1]
- Gayle had a crush on Dareth after he saved her life from the Sons of Garmadon. However, she knew him as the Brown Ninja, as he was masked.
- It is unknown why she was not arrested by the Sons of Garmadon, as she had been an ally of the ninja in the past. However, it's possible that none of the Sons of Garmadon knew that she was an ally and thought she was still just a reporter.
- Fred Finely is Gayle's rival.[2]
- She has high regard for herself as a news person.[citation needed]
- Although she first appeared in Season 2, it is clear that she worked as a reporter in Season 1, because she appears in a flashback in "Game of Masks" taking place at the time of "Day of the Great Devourer".
- The only seasons she has not appeared since her debut are seasons 3, 5 and 13.
- Her design appears multiple times in the crowd at The Royal Blacksmiths' concert in "Day of the Departed".
- She is called Tina Tratsch in German versions of Ninjago media, as "Tratsch" is the German translation of "Gossip".
