Gale was born as the child of the usurper king Kaito Shurinai, who was as fierce as he was sexist. Because of her fear of her husband’s rage, Gale’s mother taught her how to hide from her father and glamour herself as a boy. Now, Gale struggles to come to terms with the death of a close friend–and his fate.

Beneath a grieving shell is a wounded woman who loves and cares for everyone else’s wellbeing. Gale gives herself to the point of exhaustion. She’s empathetic to a fault and yet she has a hard time opening up to everyone else unless she’s overwhelmed. Gale glamours herself as an Auronian male to hide her fragility from the world.

Appearance

Gale is a medium dark-skinned beauty with royal blue hair and fiery orange eyes. Gale has a pear-shaped figure, even when she’s glamoured as a male. She stands an astounding 6’8” tall and her hair reaches down to her hips. She always wears her hair down, hiding her face behind her bangs that hang from either side. She wears a headband across her forehead to pull her hair back only slightly.

 

Outfits

On Duty: Gale wears a blue, long-sleeved jacket that sports a large collar. It latches together in the front with a single golden chain, though it doesn’t close. When in the field, Gale sometimes ties her jacket around her waist, allowing for her to sense the world around her with heightened senses. She often wears a bandage wrapped around her torso and arms. She wears blue pants with large, flowing legs. Her feet are also wrapped in bandages and she wears white slip-on shoes.   

Casual: Gale prefers loose clothing. Any cardigans, turtlenecks, and cowl-neck sweaters will do. Gale also loves to wear loose-fitting yoga pants. She usually walks around barefoot; her feet are still bandaged.

The shyest and most reserved of the three heads of the Rebels, Gale’s personality shows through on the battlefield. She tends to hang back in the shadows, providing support and gathering information for her allies. She is trained in close-quarter combat, so on the occasion that she’s cornered, she can either create a distraction and flee or strike the threat with alarming precision. She can “strengthen the spirit” with her small harp.

Relationship(s):

• Love interest of Andy Naginata

• Rival of Travis Naginata
• Love interest of Alice Utada
• Close friend of Luke Hirigani and Terry Livingston
