==Introduction==
It's market day in the Sky Kingdom. As you meander between the stalls, something small, green, and fast runs under your talons, making you trip! 
"Green! GREEN, WHERE ARE YOU??"
You turn to see a moderately tall orange SkyWing hunched over, catching his breath. He looks up at you. "I'm sorry to bother you, but have you seen a wingless green dragonet?"
You nod and point in the direction that the child ran.
A look of relief washes over the SkyWing's face. "Thank you so much! That's my daughter; she's been leading me on a wild goose chase all day. Care to help me track her down?"
You agree and follow the SkyWing through the market. As you walk, he reveals that his name is Gale, a travelling merchant who's here with his family to trade wares. As the topic turns to his family, he mentions that he has four adopted dragonets.
"Adopted?" you ask.
He looks up at the sky and smiles. "Yup, they're my pride and joy and I wouldn't give them up for anything. See, it all started when I found an abandoned MudWing egg..."
==Appearance==
Gale, while no giant, is a little bit taller than the average adult male SkyWing. His scales are the colour of clouds catching the light of the setting sun, with hints of a rich gold. His underbelly is a slightly paler orange, and his kind eyes are a warm, burnt-orange.
==Personality==
As you walk through the marketplace with Gale, his personality becomes apparent. You find that he's easy to talk to and quick to laugh--the kind of dragon you'd want to be friends with. He also seems a little nervous, but that may just be because he's worried about his daughter, Green. Overall, Gale is a kind dragon, but with a fierce side that comes out when he's fearing for the safety of his family.

"Green! Green, is that you?"
Gale leaves your side and bounds over to a basket of cherries for sale that seems to have a metallic pink-and-green tail sticking up out of it. Gale trots up to the basket and tugs on the little tail, pulling out a beautiful green-and-pink dragonet with little stubs where her wings should be. The dragonet grins at Gale, who frowns at her and holds her close. "Green. Never, EVER, run off like that again. Have you any IDEA how WORRIED we all were?"
He loves her, you think. He may not be really sure of what he's doing all the time, but he tries his best.
==History==
Gale's dragonet-hood was pretty darn normal. His family was middle-class, and his parents both loved him and his older sister very much.
From a very young age, Gale was interested in knickknacks. Anything shiny or intricate or fascinating, he'd take an instant liking to. As he got older, he became a bit of a hoarder, stockpiling various odds and ends in his sleeping cave until his parents called a family meeting about it.
To solve the hoarding problem, Gale decided to give some stuff to his friends, and he would occasionally make them little gadgets and toys as presents.
==Relationships==
Cerise: He liked Cerise from the start, when they ran into each other in the Sky Kingdom and teamed up to search for Gale's missing dragonets. The more time they spent together, the more Gale liked Cerise and eventually came to realize that he loved her. He wasn't fazed when Cerise confessed to him that she was infertile and had been through a messy divorce because of it--he loved her for the kind, spunky, and goofy dragon she is. Very positive!
Gem: wip
Slush: wip
Fox: Of his four adopted dragonets, Fox is the one Gale has had the most complicated relationship with. The Sand-Ice hybrid's history is a little fuzzy as he never liked to talk about his past. What is known is that his home life was very difficult, so he tried to be away from his house as much as possible.
Green: wip.
