About Me
Favorite Color: Persimmon Orange
Symbol
Weapon of Choice: Immolation Fists
Gauntlets that harness fire dust. They can form long claws that can burn through most organic material and melt through some rock and metal. Since the energy given off by the dust contains no mass, Gal can swing them at any speed she can reach with a normal melee attack.
Auras/ Semblances:
Flame Shield - Galahad can form a semi-impenetrable layer of heat around her. Outside the barrier will feel like approaching an oven while touching it would be like touching hot metal. The shield dissipates the heat created by Gal's Immolation Fists and makes wielding them more manageable.
She can keep the shield up indefinitely but should anything penetrate the barrier and touch her, she feels the heat on that part of the body. First degree burns are common but if she is grabbed by a creature of Grimm or put into a bearhug by an overzealous opponent, she can get severely burned.
The flame shield is used mainly as a deterrent to keep enemies out of melee range but it can also be used as a beacon or combined with pure dust for a blinding effect. When used in combination with her Immolation fists, Gal becomes a torrent of fire. The problem is, anyone can pass their hand over an open flame briefly with no ill effect. If an opponent realized this, her flame shield becomes merely shock and awe and not offensive.
Molten Forge - Gal can instantly turn most inorganic matter molten by simply touching it, creating obstacles for foes. Gal is NOT fireproof, so she can very well get trapped by her own molten material she has made. She generally only uses her semblance for crowd control, traps, or to cover a retreat. Using it for purely offensive purposes is EXTREMELY dangerous. Trying to use this ability on moving objects or anything that isn't on the ground can create random splashes that can severely injure Gal.

Dislikes: Boating, Swimming, Cynics, Crying children, People who can't take a joke, Brain freezes
Bio: Born premature into a large family of hunters, Galahad was given a boy's name at birth and raised as a boy. The idea was a small BOY with great training could do more as a hunter than a small and feeble girl could. Astounding her parents and family, Gal excelled in hand to hand combat. Her small frame made her vulnerable to attack but at the same time made her very hard to hit. Gal would often accompany her family on Grimm hunts and would run into the fray, dodging and weaving between enemies, drawing their attention to her and stringing them into an ambush. Even though never armed, she never thought herself in danger. To her parent's dismay, Gal would continue this reckless behavior despite being told not to. Even when grounded, Gal would always find a way to escape her house and join in her family's hunts.
On one of her ventures, Gal was surrounded by Grimm. She tripped on a tree root, spraining her ankle and effectively grounding her. When a half dozen Ursa charged her, her aura activated, producing her Flame Shield. The intense heat scared away the Grimm and unintentionally started a forest fire. This caused most of the Grimm in the area to retreat and allowed Gal to limp back home. She was grounded for a month but this time she stayed put. Instead, she honed her aura and discovered her semblance by while attempting to juggle. One of the rocks she juggled fell to the floor and turned molten, eating a hole in the floor. Fortunately for her, Gal's room was on the ground floor and she had a pitcher of water handy to stop the fire from spreading.
Her parents were elated at her prowess with fighting and her control of her aura and semblance that they enrolled her in Beacon. By this time, her parents had stopped trying to hide their daughter's gender, but Gal had long since become accustomed to dressing as a boy, and continued to do so at Beacon. She would often flirt with girls to get a reaction but quickly became friends with those whom she had tricked. Because she was so successful at flirting, she often was wont to give advice to boys and girls alike who knew her secret, but would swear THEM to secrecy about her gender. If anyone would find out about her true identity, she wanted it because she revealed it to them, and no one else.
