History
 
*originally hatched on pyrrhia?
**brighter scales can be attributed to having a lot of sunlight as a dragonet
*probably hatched in the rainforest or somewhere approx
*moved around a lot as a kid so got used to coping with a wide variety of climates
*part of an assassin sect. they learned the trade of murder very early on in life. their organization was shrinking over time due to the general peace in pyrrhia and having an entire continent hunting you for your business model. not ideal
**so yeah a 5 year old dragonet would get assigned to go off to a closed off island in the middle of nowhere
*the client smuggled them and and would have given them a way out
**except she got assassinated before gala could carry out the hit LMAO
*gala is now stuck in snowshank.
*ends up rescuing a random hybrid that was drowning out in the waves and the two miraculously started getting along (gala was kind of. not nice back then)
*anyway gala can't get paid so they just kind of hang out
*when the #group comes together they end up killing dragons (and other unsavory methods as needed) to make sure that the #group doesn't get captured and brutally executed. because they're all wanted by the crown
**whoopsie
*and they live happily ever after and do not die (trust)
Relationships
 
:Acanthus Blight-Blade
::feels sorry for dying on him :/ it's their bad. it's okay they'll be able to grieve and move on surely--
:Parhelion Wolven-Ash
::friendly. parhelion always had faith in them, probably too much. didn't take anything seriously, but gala never minded it. sometimes they need that kind of lighthearted fun in this life.
:Thalassia Whale-Fall
::overbearing and kind of annoying about it but in a warm and gentle way.
:Chrysos Evening-Frost
::horrid little man. they butted heads over basically everything and gala was never afraid to leverage anything they had against him-- and vice versa. maybe they cared about each other deep down... sure.
:Velleity Moth-Brush
::always saw him as kind of pathetic, and it's only been proved since then. 
:The Canary
::if gala still had the aliveness to feel emotions, they would be so angry
