Gala

Name: Gala age: 81+ birthday: September 13 gender: male pronouns: he/him species: werewolf occupation: hospital admin sexuality: pansexual

Appearance: Gala is a broad and tan-skinned man. He has blueish black hair and a beard, and his eyes are a greenish-blue color. While not easily seen his are ears have a very traditional lycanthrope point to them. His face and forearms are covered in scars and bandages.

Personality: Gala tends to be kindhearted and gentle with everyone. He is always eager to help others, explaining how he got the idea to work in a hospital in the first place. He also seems like a very wise person, as he gives advice to Baileys about his relationship with Lua, and reminds him of the two sides of the coin of his will to leave his elven family. Gala takes care of his friends, as shown multiple times in his dialogues with Hyde and the special comic about him, when he does his best to comfort his vampire best friend. As a war veteran, Gala appears to have suffered of PTSD at some point, as explained briefly by Hyde. With the help of a therapist and his friend, he eventually overcame this issue. Those events encouraged him even further to work in a hospital.

Main attire: He wears a teal green scrub shirt, that slightly expose his chest, and a grayish blue blazer with a name tag pinned to the left breast pocket. He also wears a matching pair of grayish blue trousers and a pair of dark brown loafers. Secondary attire: later on he may wear a navy-blue blazer with his name tag pinned to the left breast pocket, and a light blue button-down with the top button undone, that slightly expose his chest, along with a haphazardly tightened dark-blue tie. He also has is Hospital I.D card clipped to his button-down's left breast pocket that's partially hidden by his blazer.

Background: He used to be a soldier. He fought in a war, but the only thing said about it is that it changed him and he experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder afterwards. Before coming to Seattle Gala worked as a cab driver in Manhattan, New York in the early 1960's. He said he liked the long drives back and forth from the airports that the job offered him. However, he had to stop after a few months because the job got pretty dangerous, mainly because people kept trying to pick a fight with him and some tried to rob him or skip out of paying their cab fare. He chalks this up to it being the early 60s, and people not being as kind to non-human species as they are in 2023. Somewhere in the 1960's, the werewolf meets Hyde in a bar (that would later become Coffee Talk) during a night. Hyde was very drunk and on the edge of fighting with criminal dwarves. He tries to threaten the dwarves by pretending Gala is his bodyguard. Gala intervened to protect Hyde as he "sensed that he was a nice guy". It turned into a fight, and Gala and Hyde got kicked away in the streets. As the vampire was too drunk to go home by himself or remember his house location, he drove Hyde to his apartment. The next day, Hyde offers Gala to be his bodyguard (for real, this time). He accepts, and remains a bodyguard for several years, protecting Hyde and driving him around. However, after overcoming his PTSD, he decides to resign and to start working in a hospital. At some point after Hyde went to work as a model in Los Angeles, Gala meets the Barista and becomes a costumer of Coffee Talk.
