**Galatua** is descendant from the dragon and lamsu bloodline that was started by Haera Aynokion, carried on by her descendant Circe Gorgonio. Galatua's egg was laid by Syrani through her coupling with Vōtan which was very hard for her due to the egg being abnormally large.

## Description

### Appearance

Galatua as four years old is the same size as a affenpinscher, unlike her brother she has smooth white scales with glittering textures, along with some pink on her belly, tail flukes, and underwings. She also has a blue/pink stone-like plate between her eyes that curved up and rounded off into a row of horns resembling a crown.

Due to her lamsu DNA, she has long fur that is on his paws, chest, some of his neck and partly on her back. Her eyes are golden. According to Delphi. "*Galatua is just as mischievous as her brother but has more grace them him*."

## Abilities and Skills

* **Lamsu-Dragon Hybrid Physiology** - Galatua has less firepower than her brother Celeno though she is clever enough to come up with creative ideas to help in a fight.
	+ **Plasma Generation** - Due to her lamsu and dragon DNA combined, is able to use pure plasma instead of just fire. Galatua can shoot bursts of purple-colored flames, composed of ionized oxyacetylene. Plasma blasts explode directly upon impact, sometimes exploding in midair at higher altitudes because of the cut off oxygen supply. Galatua's plasma blast is capable of smashing apart full-grown trees in one shot.
		- **Cloaking** - Galatua is capable of making herself temporarily invisible by heating her skin as she flies through her plasma blasts because she has mirror-like scales. When the scales heat up to a certain degree, their mirror-like qualities are brought out, causing them to reflect their surroundings. However, the plasma blast could also be used as a distraction so that any threat chasing her could not see in which direction she went after cloaking.
	+ **Enhanced Strength** - She is strong enough to carry humans in her claws and later on her back, as well as Celeno with minimal effort.
	+ **Enhanced Speed** - She can fly at a great speed to grab a falling Celeno in mid-air and come to Delphyni's rescue with no signs of slowing down.
	+ **Enhanced Endurance** - Galatua has a great amount of stamina, for they can travel long distances without showing signs of exhaustion. They are also very durable, for they can get up after crash-landing without injury.
	+ **Enhanced Stealth** - Due to her cloaking ability, she can disappear and reappear to sneak up on her targets easily. She can easily blend into clouds and mist due to her white scales and from far away, one wouldn't be able to see her in the sky.
	+ **Retractable Teeth** - As a lamsu, Galatua can retract her teeth when not using them. This may be to protect them from damage by her plasma blasts, though she is often seen firing with his teeth still extended.

## Etymology

* Galatua is made up the *Gala* meaning "mulberry tree" and *Tua* meaning "sleeves" in Aesirans. It is considered a common name on Sagära and is given in honor of Saint Galatua.
	+ Galatua is based on the Greek name Galatea which is the latinized form of Greek Γαλάτεια (*Galateia*), probably derived from γάλα (*gala*) meaning "milk". This was the name of several characters in Greek mythology including a sea nymph who was the daughter of Doris and Nereus and the lover of Acis. According to some sources, this was also the name of the ivory statue carved by Pygmalion that came to life.

## Trivia
