Galatea

**Voice Actor** | Brina Palencia

Galatea was a clay statue that was sculpted by Pygmalion IX, and modeled slightly after Medusa as a daughter for him and his wife, and brought to life by Aphrodite. Though circumstances caused her to fall in love with Perseus. Later, after a terrible battle and even greater ordeal, she gained a free will of her own and after being brought back by Aphrodite, ended up falling in love with both Perseus *and* Medusa, becoming a member of their band of heroes, the Wolfpack of Sparta.

## Background

Pygmalion the IX was the descendant of Pygmalion I and was a good-looking guy, as well as an Art Professor at Prometheus University. Though unfortunately, he was cursed with an inability to hook up with any living woman. So, he prayed to Aphrodite who mentioned that there was a loophole in the system: he could hook up with inhuman women. But to make it a shortcut, he sculpted a beauty out of clay and Aphrodite brought her to life. She was the perfect woman in personality and appearance, and happily fell in love with the artist and both were married. Then, after five years of blissful union, the two decided they wanted to start a family together, but the art teacher needed a model for his daughter as his creation could not reproduce naturally. That's when Pygmalion came up with a plan...

One day, during art class, Pygmalion explained that he was going to be teaching about the female form, and requested that a female student act as a model the following day as a chance to get extra credit, and Medusa accepted. The next day, Medusa stepped onto the pedestal, and the students, including the Wolfpack of Sparta, began sketching. Now, Pygmalion not only had a much-needed template, but also helped get everyone's grades up a bit. It was a win-win.

After the class was over, Pygmalion would use the sketches as a base. Combining the facial features of his wife and Medusa, he made a statue of a young woman, around Medusa's age, which Aphrodite breathed life into...

And thus, the second Galatea was born.

## Personality

Galatea is first introduced portraying an emotionless face, seeming more secluded from everyone, as she has yet to develop her own emotional responses. After she joins Prometheus University, she develops a happier demeanor. She is obsessed with both Medusa and Perseus to the point of considering anyone who shows affection towards them a rival. This goes to the slowly growing harem, of which she has shorted out becoming a Love Labyrinth. And when the Furies threatened him, Galatea loses her calm demeanor and entered a somewhat satanic-appearing state that frightened Ocupete and even Hades. Galatea also seems to have a slight masochistic side; upon making a mistake, she asks Perseus to spank her as punishment, saying it's her "hobby." She's also very polite towards others, though she addresses Perseus as "Darling" and Medusa as "Beloved" only.

She cares deeply for her friends and comrades at both Prometheus University and Demi-Camp. During the Battle of Athens arc, Galatea is pitted against Andromeda but instead chooses to sacrifice herself by attacking a thunder pillar, even though she knows that it will cause her harm. Upon her revival after the Aphrodisia Dance, she wasn't feared or hated for her past relationship problems, and she maintains a good relationship with the other members. She is also shy about her body, as she doesn't like to shower with other girls. Galatea has a wild and creative imagination (a trait that Medusa gave her when Aphrodite asked for her personality) in which she uses it artistically as well as with her shapeshifting. Although in some cases, she tends to fabricate relationships and love rivals.

## Skills/Abilities

### Powers

* **Golem Physiology:**

Being a golem, Galatea's body is entirely made out of clay enchanted by Aphrodite. This grants her several unique abilities:

* **Shapeshifting:** Being made out of clay, Galatea can shape her body into any form and size imaginable.
	+ **Skin Hardening/Malleable Anatomy:** Galatea can either increase the density of her body, to the point that swords break on her skin, or decrease it, allowing herself to stretch flatten, deform, expand, and contract her whole body, including her limbs, torso, neck, etc.

## Trivia

* Galatea referring to Perseus and Medusa as "Darling" and "Beloved" respectively is likely a reference to both Miia and Meroune "Mero" Lorelei from *Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls*.
* Her Golem form's color scheme was taken from Ashlotte Madel, a bonus character from *Soul Calibur IV*
