Galatea

## General Info

It's Best Girl! Just kidding ;) She's a member of Via Paradisi in charge of intel gathering and sabotage and an robot created by Carter, modeled after his dead childhood friend. She is an antagonist in Road to Paradise.

## Personality

She is whimsical, energetic, and cheerful, seemingly basing her personality off of the characters from manga laying around on the various computers and phones she has connected to her. She has a thirst for adventure and romance, wanting to be like the daring heroes in her favorite RPG, but doesn't mind occasionally pretending to be the big bad villain to throw people off. She is also steadfastly loyal to her friends, especially the members of Via Paradisi, but doesn't seem to bind befriending her enemies either. Though, that doesn't mean she'll hesitate to prioritize her allies first without any hesitation. It is unknown how much of the original Galatea she truly embodies, thought, and how much is just guesswork from Carter's fond childhood memories. The old Galatea has been described by Eibon, and is implied, to have been an optimistic and idealisic literate type with an overactive imagination.

## Backstory

Galatea was born in a country torn by war and natural disasters called Taured, located on the coast of the Dead Sea. She loved reading books and coming up with elaborate stories to share with her friends. She lead a small group of children with her childhood friend, Eibon, pretending to be fantasy heroes and villains while playing in an ancient ruin near her hometown. One day, she and Eibon met Carter King and his father Bram, who were visiting with their company to offer disaster relief and aid to the town. They quickly became friends and Carter would hang out with her and her group by the ruins often whenever he and Bram visited. One day however, during a skirmish between towns over the recourses of a fallen meteor, Galatea was shot by a stray bullet and died.

Years later, Carter and Eibon created a robot modeled after her appearance and gave it sentience by infusing it with several Duel Spirits and bits of her personality gathered from both Eibon and Carter's memories via some sort of supernatural ritual and Eibon's grimoire of Thelema. She has some sort of strange connection to World Legacy-World Wand.

## Deck & Abilities

### Deck:

* Dawn of Adventure (An unfinished deck, it centers around the theme of "monster exterminators" and RPG tropes)

### AI

* Galatea can infect technology with a custom virus program. This program is a digital version of her that functions much like a Desktop Buddy or help programs like Siri and Alexa... only she's genuinely sentient. It seems like part of whatever is making her sentient seeps into the programming, allowing her main body to treat these virus AI like extra eyes and ears.

## Trivia

* Her design and part of her inspiration is taken from Desdinova Incarnate's half-assed recollections of the designs of the actual Yu Gi Oh Card Galatea the Orcust Automaton and consequently, Ib the World Chalice Priestess.
* Her name is taken from the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, where the sculptor Pygmalion prays to Aphrodite to bring the sculpture he made to life.
