Appearance

Galah is usually wearing her plate armor, made by her father. The steel is somewhat thin around the edges, the joints mainly covered by chainmail, as to provide maximum mobility at the cost of some protection. Outside of her armor she usually wears a simple shirt and pants, accompanied by her toolbelt with several tools on it for field repairs. This belt is also on her when she is wearing the armor.

Other: She has several faint scars along her face from worgen attacks, and her nose is slightly crooked, from several breaks.

Personality

Alignment: Neutral Good.

Galah is a kind woman, all things considered. She's very protective of others in need and will do anything to protect them, no matter the cost. She can be quite competitive when a challenge is presented, and sees no reason to show any form of grace or elegance, simply because it doesn't get the job done. At times she can be rather ruthless with people who try to harm those she protects. Despite all this, she has a massive fear of spiders.

History

Galah was born in Lordaeron, and moved back to the town of Grand Hamlet, more commonly known as Darkshire these days, at the age of six. Her younger years as a child were spent helping her parents out in any way she could, be it running around the town and buying supplies, or helping her mother sew new clothing. From a young age she had wanted to learn her father's trade, blacksmithing. Her father did not have the time to teach her properly, but he kept her busy with minor chores, to make her feel useful. Entering her teenage years Galah started to take a liking to combat, her protective nature kicking in as she saw what was once the lush green forests of her home begin to turn dark and desolate, and would spend as much time as she could with her friends, grabbing sticks and skirmishing, until they were old enough to join the Night Watch as hopeful recruits. Her father had seen how she enjoyed fighting and made her a small set of armor to help her learn how to use it.

Galah's time as a recruit in the Night Watch consisted of rigorous training, some of which seemed to daunt the young girl, but she was persistent in her struggles and kept on going. Most of her life consisted of this training and also theory lessons, learning about the dangers of Duskwood to the people, and how to deal with them. One of her missions as a Watcher lead her to a cave nearby, to investigate some disappearances in the area. These were different from the other ones around the area, there were no bodies to recover, nor many signs of combat. Upon reaching the cave, they found the reason why; bodies, several of them cocooned into the giant spider's web. They started to spread out and look for survivors, but any of the cocoons slashed open revealed nothing but a corpse. Suddenly, Galah felt something stab her from behind, and she slowly began to lose control over her body. She was paralyzed by the giant spider, helpless as it started spinning her into a cocoon, to be it's next feast. Luckily, before the spider could devour it's next victim, her companions discovered her, beating the spider back and freeing her from it's strong webs. After finally recovering she had developed a great fear of all spiders, no matter the size.

Slowly, but surely, she started to rise up through the ranks, proving to be a capable leader of Watchers, and a reliable combatant. These days she remains working within the Night Watch, protecting travellers and townsfolk alike from the dangers that plague Duskwood.

Skills and Abilities

Galah is well trained in melee combat, mainly with her sword and shield. She's proficient in wearing both plate and mail armor, and can adapt to one or two handed weapon fighting, depending on what the situation calls for. She has some blacksmithing experience as well, allowing her to make minor repairs on most metal weapons and armor, but mainly her own.
