Personality
-~-Two Sides, Same Coin
Gaille Arelya is an odd woman, coming off as somewhat abrasive and full of herself, yet also a little introverted. She often hides her true feelings, instead wearing the facade of a soul burning with vanity and aggression – a counterbalance to the reality of having confidence issues. The stark truth is she’s very self-conscious about her actions, inventions and other aspects of life, but tries to wear a brave face.
Anarchist
Arelya’s easily a person who dislikes hierarchy. Specifically – and thanks to past experiences – she has a deep loathing for tyrannical rulers and strongly believes that pretty much any governmental system is corrupt in some form. She’s something of an equality idealist, but is most definitely an anarchist by nature, enjoying a world where she can express freedom and creativity without having to bend to suit the ideologies of others. This isn’t to say she’s a complete rogue, for she has no issue with people making an honest living.
Insightful Engineer
Miss Gaille’s passion has always been technology. From simple shipwrecks found floating in the White Seas to more fascinating contraptions, she’s always been captivated by them – the hows and whys of their workings. Arelya dreams of a world where technology and feats of extraordinary engineering make life easier for the people, aiding with such things as manufacturing, transport and more; something she aptly calls an “Industrial Revolution”. She’s always tinkering with something new and, even when she isn’t, she’s likely coming up with a mental schematic of what her next invention will be.
Astraphobic Angel
Instilled in her from a young age, Arelya has an innate and oppressive fear of lightning. The rumble of distant thunder can put this young woman on edge, but an actual flash of lightning can soon provoke her instincts and put them into top gear. The problem is, she’s more than likely to freeze up and cower under a table or something than actually try to see reason. Her hatred for men like Enel might be strong, but her fear of his influence is stronger.
Appearance
-~-Body Shape, Facial Features, Etc.
Gaille Arelya is a woman of moderate stature, standing at 5’9” (175 cm) and possessing a relatively average physique. She has a healthy, medium build with gentle curvature, but lacks the slender ‘hourglass’ figure. Rather, she bears a ‘banana’ body shape – rather straight with similarly proportioned bust, waist and hips, but definitely showing signs of healthy muscle tone. Her skin colouration is a mild olive; lightly bronzed, which is somewhat unusual for someone of Skypiean descent, as they are typically fairer.
She possesses a soft oval visage, dressed with a richer olive complexion – a slightly darker hue than the rest of her body. Her lips and nose – the latter possessing a straight edge with slight upturn – are both quite thinly structured, whilst her chin has a sharply defined roundness to it. Arelya’s eyes are relatively wide, with irises of rich jade hue, but can appear quite hawkish. These are defined yet further by a sharp brow. Miss Gaille’s hair is by far one of her most distinctive features. Her locks are a vivid leafy green, paling at the tips to a softer lime hue, and have a decent length to them. She currently has her hair trimmed and styled into a sort of layered ‘pageboy’ cut, slightly wavy, with a lengthy back that reaches to her nape and collar, and a shortened fringe of uneven bangs that still err to the left of her face. Unlike her people, she has forgone tradition, abandoning the trademark ‘antennae’ style of Skypiean culture. Her hair does sometimes rebel, trying to curl into shape, which can cause messy little cowlicks to show up atop her crown from time to time.
As a Sky Islander, Arelya possesses a pair of white-feathered wings upon her back. A Skypiean, her particular plumage is shorter and fluffy, though because she conceals them most of the time, they have become somewhat crumpled.
Outfit & Accessories
Arelya’s current choice of clothing includes a pair of three-quarter length skinny jeans of green denim, with a black leather belt and white knee-high boots. Her shirt is a black cotton T-shirt, whose sleeves are very short and barely cover her shoulders, and whose collar is of high V-neck design. Her jacket is a white leather biker jacket, long-sleeved but with a cropped waist, which conceals her wings just as she prefers. This Skypiean’s typical accessories include a lengthy cotton scarf usually wrapped loosely around her neck, woven of lime cotton and possessing a black and white checkerboard design at either end. She also wears a pair of aviator goggles, with a black elasticated strap and white frames, which usually rest upon her head. The lenses have a slight green tint to them, which serves to reduce glare from the sun or when welding.

Skills
-~-Engineer & Tinkerer
When it comes to technology, Arelya knows what she’s doing. Most of the time. Admittedly, her first port of call when finding a new gadget is to see what it does, take it apart, and then try and make some personal adjustments. More often than not, something will explode, but that’s just par for the course. Success or failure, there’s nothing she enjoys more than tinkering and building new mechanisms, and she’s pretty good at figuring out a machine’s inner workings at just a glance.
Miscellaneous Belongings
-~-Toolkit
An assortment of standard tools that Arelya keeps on her person pretty much at all times, contained within various pockets, satchels and other storage. It consists of all the standard tools, plus a few more unique items: a wrench, assorted screwdrivers, a hand drill, a hacksaw, a hammer, and several other pieces.
Headset
A simple headset with a black and white headband upon which a pair of Tone Dials are mounted, playing various songs. Arelya has also included a Lamp Dial in this setup, providing light in dark conditions and when working inside machinery.

Traits
-~-Oxygen Efficiency
Sky Islander Starter Trait
As a Skypiean, Arelya is acclimatised to thin air and low oxygen environments, such as mountain peaks and even higher altitudes. As a result, she possesses far better stamina than the average human – an innate ability that allows her to keep on running and perform other laborious tasks for far longer before exhaustion sets in.
Inhuman Swiftness
Sky Islander Starter Trait
If there’s one thing Miss Gaille discovered rather quickly, it was that she could run faster than most. At full speed, the “Emerald Wind” can move much like her moniker suggests, easily outpacing others and generally being able to make herself a very difficult target for those aiming at her with anything slower than an arrow or bullet. What she lacks in personal strength, she clearly makes up for in speediness.

Focus – Technology: Dial-Based Weapons & Utilities
Gaille Arelya does not wield any form of martial arts prowess as many fighters in this world do, but instead calls upon her inventiveness and ingenuity to develop various technologies that aid her in keeping up with the bigger threats. She can make something out of pretty much anything, given enough time and the right materials, but is especially adept at combining scrap materials and Dials together to make an arsenal of awesome armaments.

Equipment:–
- Solas & Dorcha (“Light & Dark” in Irish)
Rank 1 Paired Weapon, 100 X-Poinz (Free 50/0 Used)
FiSt – Contrivance
Arelya’s first invention. Solas & Dorcha are a pair of unique handguns, both relatively bulky, with a squared yet streamlined design which looks quite futuristic compared to archetypal flintlocks and revolvers. Solas has a white casing, while Dorcha is black, both with lime green markings – two incomplete bands towards the muzzle and a similar stripe running down the back. Rather than firing solid slugs, these pistols are instead powered by Axe Dials contained within, whose usual cutting shots are condensed into spears of air. This gives the weapons a better range than a raw Axe Dial, as well as a little more potency at close range, but the shots quickly reduce to nothing but a soft bludgeoning force at a range of about 33’ (10m).- Gála-Fhórsa (“Gale-Force” in Irish)
Rank 2 Weapon, 250 X-Poinz (Free 125/0 Used)
FiSt – Contrivance
A close proximity weapon modelled in the fashion of a shotgun, but possessing the same squared casing design of Solas & Dorcha. Using the same sort of technological ingenuity, Arelya has loaded this weapon with a Jet Dial, allowing it to fire a short ranged conical jet of pressurised air with enough raw power behind it to knock a grown man off his feet. The weapon has a white barrel and black stock, with three incomplete lime green bands around the muzzle end.

Background
}“I never got to see Enel’s airship up close… It was probably poorly designed anyway!”~ Arelya– Arelya had always been a bit of a loose cannon since she was just a little girl, rejecting nearly everything about her people. She refused to grow her hair into the antenna-style of the average Skypiean and would even hide her wings beneath her clothes. This, combined with her boisterous attitude, made her a real handful. However, she was a very independent girl who would prefer to toy around with Dials and other silly things. Because of this seemingly harmless nature, she was generally allowed her freedom.
– However, when Enel took over as God, Arelya found herself in dire trouble. Her habit of pilfering Dials and things caused a lot of problems around Skypiea, often leading people to avoid her, lest they be caught up in Enel's wrath. Despite her behaviour, however, this was never the case. For the time that Enel ruled over Skypiea as God, Arelya seemingly vanished off the map altogether. Though some wondered where Arelya had vanished to, others were somewhat glad to see her go.
– A few months after Enel's defeat at the hands of the Straw Hats, Arelya returned to Skypiea, now a young woman and boasting a wide variety of interesting technology. She had spent those years salvaging things from the ships that had been cast from Skypiea, roaming the White Sea. Apparently, she had made her own island cloud on which she lived, a drifting workshop. However, thanks to Enel's incredible storms, she had been forced to abandon it.
– Arelya was given a relatively warm welcome by the people of Skypiea, filling her in on what had happened. Also, she had taken a liking to rubber bands, using them for some of her inventions. However, she still dreams of visiting the Blue Sea, but her old ways haven't been lost to time.
