Appearance[]
Gale has scruffy platinum hair that he attempts to keep out of his large amber eyes. Attempts being the key word, they’re always in his eyes. He has pale gray skin and a gray tail with a solar-gold tip that ends in white. His wings are fully grown but he’s a bit shaky using them.
Gear[]
Keeper’s Robes - a dark blue shirt with a bronze, red, and gold cloak pinned with an Astral symbol on his shoulders. The pin has special abilities.
Keeper’s Pin - the Astral symbol pin he uses is what keeps the Academy afloat, along with strengthen his elemental abilities and his magic sensing.
Academy Book - a “book” that supposedly came from the Archives. Upon pulling the ribbon bookmark, it becomes a staff version of the Academy Standard Wand, with gold, red, bronze, and dark blue colors. Has spells of all forms attached to it.
Personality[]
Gale has so many personalities, it’s impossible to list them all. He is who he wants to be, which does mean he’s been having an identity crisis, but here are a few of the personalities:
Personality 1 (around students): formal, an all-around strict but good teacher, though if you want to know more about him he dodges the question. Sometimes, though, cracks of his self-hatred shine through.
"I'm Gale, the Keeper of the Academy."
"Well, I was. I don't know if I can call myself that anymore with what has happened."
“I suppose it's my fault that we're in this mess."
Personality 2 (around most colleagues): usually ranting on about the students, though he acts like they’re a bigger problem than they are to hide his real problems. Still formal and well-mannered, but acts like a normal teacher would behind-the-scenes. Secretly, it’s all an act.
Personality 3 (around colleagues who know better): just hides, he doesn’t want to deal with those problems. The people who know that he’s suffering and what to talk about it are Ada and Noot, along with (maybe) the other wardens.
Personality 4 (around Florian): it’s honestly very painful to Gale to see another brother figure, so he usually shies away from him and acts like all is well. He can’t act in front of Florian, as Florian has multiple personalities himself and knows what he’s up to. However, he usually keeps his space.
Personality 5 (around the general people of Prodigia): formal, well-mannered, though supposedly “just tired”. He tries extra hard to hide his depression and anxiety, but he’s probably fiddling with something behind his back while giving a speech.
Personality 6 (around supporters): grateful, cheerful, and optimistic. This act is absolutely fake and it saps his energy like crazy. It’s harder for him to be around positive reinforcement than negative.
Personality 7 (around opposers): accepting, understanding, and thoughtful. He’s secretly cursing like crazy inside and is DEFINITELY fiddling with something behind his back. His anxiety and depression gets worse.
Personality 8 (by himself): just working, working, more working. It’s his only distraction, but sometimes he just ends up sobbing and screaming and pushing a knife/wand to his forehead. (Yikes, me. I’m seeing way too much of myself in this character.)
Abilities[]
Flight: Gale can fly, and surprisingly well considering he had cut wings for the majority of his childhood.
Fey Stepping: An ability that fairies have, triggered by instinct. It causes them to teleport a short distance away from their current location. Gale doesn’t use this much… maybe because he’s hidden all of his fear for so long.
Agility: Gale’s quite agile and fast, and mainly uses his agility in battle.
Strength: Being a fairy, he’s twice as strong as a normal wizard. However, he’s very weak by fairy standards.
Prehensile/Balance: Gale’s quite self-conscious about his tail… but he does need it for balance, and it’s especially prehensile.
Intelligence: Obviously, Gale is incredibly smart. How else would he be Academy Keeper?
Manipulation: Yeah. Manipulative like most, but he really hates/loves this side of him.
