Who is whiny? and who is a backstabber? the only two characters who fit the role of bitchy, or whiny are Shadowheart and Lae. I'd call Lae more straight forward, blunt, conservative and Shadowheart more "guarded" than whiny though. Shadow does more guarding and deflecting, than whining imo. Wyll & Gale are both classically good bro characters, I don't see them ever being whiny.

IMO though Gale thinks he's all that and a bag of chips and Astarion has to much sugar in his tank to suit me.
I'm now imagining all the companions on a sugar high and it is hilarious.

I know what you were going for, but between not dealing with Astorion much (due to being imo inferior to a rogue elf tav) and having a sugary snack in my hand, that's what my mind jumped to.

I do agree that Gale sees a bit full of himself, though
