## Biographical information

### Status

Active

**Grandma Galina** is an old Griffoness from Griffinstone and one of the Senior Gals. She's the grandmother of Gupu and her two brothers, Goom and Geem, and mother of the triplets' mom, Georgina, whom she parented alongside her husband Grandpa Gideon. She's always sleepy, but never lazy

## Personality

Described as Grandpa Gideon's "very tired wife," Grandma Galina is both very sleepy and typically less concerned about what's going on around her, and more so on taking a nap. Contrasting with her husband Gideon's more outgoing personality and energetic spirit, Galina is weary, droopy-eyed, and is always eager to fall asleep.

Though usually stricken with her sleepiness, she is actually a hard worker which is why she's so exhausted. Sometimes, Galina has trouble controlling herself, especially when someone opens a bag of chips. Still, she encourages her family to eat a balanced diet, and enjoy chips as a "sometimes food."

## Appearance

Grandma Galina has a light-grey coat, dark-grey wings, face and underbelly, and brownish gold beak and talons. She has pale dark blue eyes and deep bags under her eyes to reflect on her exhaustion.

## Background

Galina was born and raised in Griffinstone and grew up as one of eight siblings (seven brothers), being the only girl and the youngest.

## Relationships

### **Grandpa Gideon**

Grandma Galina and Grandpa Gideon love each other dearly. Grandma Galina believes she's the only one who can maintain and put up with her husband's high energy and craziness, and even though her character is very different from his, she's very supportive towards him and his interest in sports. After all, his high energy and enthusiasm is what made her fall in love with him.

### **Gupu, Goom, and Geem**

Grandma Galina cares very deeply for her grandchildren. She loves telling stories to them and says that her tiredness can never get in the way of that.

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Gruff is just as much of a good friend of Galina as he is of Gideon. They've known each other for years and overtime forged a close familial bond with one another, the same way Gruff has with Gideon. She respects him as a leader and appears to take orders from him without hesitation or arguing. Galina is also the one who taught Gruff how to make glitter jars as a way to control his emotions, learn how to self- regulate, and calm down when he's crying, stressed, or feeling agitated.

## Trivia

* Galina's name is of Slavic, Russian origin meaning "calm". This fits her, as she is very serene and likes just taking it easy.
* Originally, all wives were going to resemble their husbands, but the idea was scrapped a short while later. In Galina's case, her early design was given to her daughter, Georgina.
