Gallica

I tried to be good, am I no good?
Am I no good? Am I no good?
With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence
I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours?
Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours
If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick
Gallica is a young AnomalocaridWing/SilkWing hybrid who is the primary sona of Roselyn.
Please do not refer to Gallica using she/her pronouns unless you are a close acquaintance or friend of mine. It is highly preferred that those I am unfamiliar with use it/its or her neopronouns. Help with their use can be found here. Additionally, you don't solely have to refer to Gallica as a dragon! Just like me, she is completely comfortable being referred to as a bug or a girlbug.
Also, please keep in mind she is Roselyn's main sona, as she has most of Roselyn's traits. Please take care in what you say about her, because you're also kind of saying that about Roselyn!

 Description 
 
Personality 
*Typically very quiet, speaks to few dragons.
*When in public with the few dragons she knows, she tends to be reserved.
*In private, Gallica is the most talkative.
*Half the time it thinks in very abstract thoughts, and it has lots of trouble converting those thoughts to words.
Story 
===Past ===
Born to Seadusk the AnomalocaridWing and Cecropia the Silkwing. She learned to read earlier than other dragonets, giving her parents much excitement. She was pretty much raised for the first years of her life by her grandmother. When school started, she was tested and put into an advanced education program, an action she still resents to this day. The material tested was easy to her then, but as she became older, things became significantly more difficult for her. It did not help that she wasn't really liked either, given how awkward she was along with some less-than-pretty bad habits. i am still gonna be petty about the way i was treated in elementary until i die. sorry. She still persisted, despite roadblocks in her way. 
One of these roadblocks was a teacher, who was much too mean to a dragonet who didn't deserve it. He took issue with Gallica's slower approach to things, taking any free time she may have and making her do her schoolwork instead. She always could sense his disdain for her, but she never understood what the problem was. He's a memory Gallica would rather forget, but part of her is grateful, for he was the first person to notice something was wrong. 
Despite how difficult first school was, Gallica was able to make a friend she was able to keep, at least for a short time. His name may be lost to the depths of Gallica's poor memory, but his effect on her could never be forgotten. Originally bonding over a mutual interest in a game, Gallica met this dragon in a before-school care program at their school. They started talking more and quickly became friends. They were close, and he was probably the one person Gallica ever truly trusted. Unfortunately, times change, people move, and friends get taken apart. She has no idea where he is now, but she misses him, and she knows he does too. 
In her last year of first school, her grandfather fell sick. He has a ninety-two percent chance of survival, they told her. Gallica didn't know what happened, but he only became sicker and sicker. Her cousins from Pantala came over more than a few times that year. At a certain point, Gallica knew he wouldn't get better, even if the people around her thought he would. Eventually, he just fell too sick, and succumbed to the illness. Gallica grieved, but she felt like she wasn't grieving enough, grieving right. She wasn't around him often, only speaking once every few weekends, and she didn't really learn about him until after he passed... did she ever know him at all?
Regardless, Gallica was unprepared for what would come next. She was growing older, her metamorphosis coming sooner. Naturally with this, she would change as she neared it, but it was apparently too much change for her grandmother to handle, on top of her grandfather's death. That summer after he passed, Gallica and her grandmother would get into fights often, mainly consisting of Gallica crying in fear whilst her grandmother yelled and complained about her. This period of time was incredibly rough for Gallica, as she was forced to come to the conclusion that even people who she loved, who were nice to her, weren't always the best people.
Naturally, this year of hell left an impact on Gallica, causing her to truly begin to mature. Her grandmother really was not the great person she claimed she was. She was someone self-centered, incredibly so. Someone who cried she was "realistic" and "self aware," yet only doing things for herself. Thinking about this more, it all began to make sense. She remembered the comments on her weight on her 5th birthday, the curses in a foreign language directed towards her, the pride in her for the wrong things. Horrifying to realize, but it was logically sound.
===Present===
Nevertheless, Gallica persisted, as always. She grew into her own person in second school, becoming snappy, confident, and slightly self-obsessed. She gained some friends, lost some friends, gained then promptly lost friends, and lost then regained friends. She began to fall behind in school, but it was a fall she welcomed; years of being "advanced" was growing sickening. Of course, her parents took issue with that, but Gallica wasn't able to care. She was done living for others, right? It was her time to shine.
Unfortunately, this state of Gallica's was short-lived. The girlbug became acutely aware of other's perceptions of her, along with the way they treated her. She was often dismissed, ignored, and disrespected.
===Future===
==Abilities==
===Antennae===
Like all SilkWings, Gallica can sense vibrations in the air and predict the weather. Bzz's abilities aren't as strong as a normal SilkWing's, though. it can only sense vibrations if it really focuses, and its weather predicting abilities are just telling if it'll be cloudy or not. Additionally, she can sense emotions, however it only goes so far as telling if someone is in a positive or negative mood.
===Swimming ===
Being part AnomalocaridWing, Gallica can breathe underwater and swim well. its fur is also quite light, and this helps its from getting stuck in water currents.
===Spinning Silk ===
Gallica's SilkWing heritage allows its to spin silk, but it is difficult for it to do so. It takes a lot of time, and the silk isn't very strong, so it doesn't do it very much. 
 Relationships 
Cilla
Courage
Midday Sunspot 
gallica calls sunnyspot out on her b.s. too but she handles it better
Satellite
Satellite is the closest thing Gallica has to a best friend, and she knows bzz inside and out.
 Disintegration
PARTNERS IN CRIME! Gallica and Disintegration are very good friends and they get up to devious shenanigans often !! however disintegration is considered a "bad influence" and they arent allowed to be near each other at school. very rude of the school tbh
Raine
