Fandom: Star Trek

Character Notes:
History: Gaila is an ex-Orion slave girl who decided that she no longer wanted to just dance and 'entertain' for her living. While she enjoyed being a kept woman for her patron, she was no longer satisfied with staying on Orion, it was too much of the same and not enough adventure for her.

She was an excellent courtesan while on Orion, highly regarded as one of the best nights one could have while staying on the planet, and so had created a small treasure trove of jewellery and pretty trinkets given to her by enamoured clients and her patron. She used these to buy herself from her own master, buying her own freedom through an early retirement - a highly irregular happening for a slave girl as young as Gaila - and chose to go to the Federation to join Starfleet. She got the idea of joining the Federation from a Andorian delegate of Starfleet that told her of the 'fleet while spending an evening with her and after hearing of her boredom with the slave girl way of life.

When she joined Starfleet academy, she was roommated with Nyota Uhura and was well known for being a bedbuddy with Jim Kirk. Upon the arrival of the Nero incident and the destruction of Vulcan, while Gaila was supposed to be on the Farragutt - one of the many ships full of students that was destroyed in the battle of Vulcan - she actually missed the shuttle that was due to sen her up to the ship, having been trying to find Kirk instead to ask him whether he really had just been using her for answers to the Kobiyashi Maru. Luckily, this turned to her fortune instead and she assisted with communication on the ground during the event. She now works on the Enterprise - as she'd originally wished for as an assignment - as a computer and warp engineer.

Personality: Gaila could easily be described as a good time girl, she’s a very bubbly character, somebody who enjoys everything that she can because a lifetime just isn’t long enough to do everything that she wants to. She is a sensualist by nature, enjoying food immensely, which would account for her well curved figure. She isn’t somebody who believes in self denial and has made it her personal mission to touch, taste, see, hear and smell everything within a five light-year radius of each other. She has a rather fatalistic ‘live for today’ attitude that sometimes - most of the time actually - gets her into trouble as she rarely thinks of the consequences of her actions. A good example of this being bringing Kirk back to her shared room despite knowing Uhura hates her bringing guys back and hates Kirk too.

Gaila cares very deeply for nearly everybody that she meets, hence why she shares herself with so many of them as she feels sexual intimacy is merely another form of expressing love. She loves every single person that she has sex with, even if it’s only a shallow form of love, it definitely exists. As shown when she tells Kirk during their encounter “Jim, I think I love you.” being mildly offended when he labels that as ‘weird’ as she thinks of this as a perfectly normal way to express affection. While she isn't expressing a wish to be emotionally intimate to him this is her manner of opening herself up intimately to him, saying that she cares for him. But, given the right circumstances, Gaila's anger can be absolutely vitriolic and prolonged.

It can be quite easy to confuse Gaila with pop culture references, but once she understands them she’ll use them repeatedly, she rarely gets annoyed at not understanding Human or other cultures, preferring to learn about it rather than getting herself frustrated about it. Gaila is very aware of her limitations when it comes to knowledge and simply does the best she can with the many talents she has.

Like all Orion women, Gaila produces pheromones that make her enticing to the opposite sex, this is through causing a chemical imbalance of adrenaline in the brain which can lead to delusional behaviours, these can be very potent if she doesn’t have her suppressor tablets that allow her to continue life around humans and other species without causing an accidental sex riot. In human females, Orion pheromones are said to give headaches and cause irritability (but some say that’s just down to jealousy) and also disrupts the sleep cycle of male Denobulans. Vulcans, on the other hand are completely immune to Orion pheromones, whether male or female. The effects of Gaila’s pheromones are cumulative, meaning the longer somebody is around her, the more exposed they are to the effects of her pheromones.

Other: Gaila is incredibly fond of flowers of all sorts and goes out of her way to collect as many of them as she physically can, this is probably down to her photosynthesising rather than eating like Humans. She thinks of them as her half-brothers and sisters.

Information on Orion slave girls

First Person (entry type):

[Gaila's sitting at her desk, fiddling with something small and complexly mechanical, goggles obscuring her eyes and red curly hair pulled back off her face. It's fortunate she'd been safety concious today as well, because the device decides to spark in her face, causing her to jump.] Mother Goddess of the abyss!

Urgh, that is sucky. [She pushes the goggles onto the top of her head, grumbling unhappily under her breath before glancing over to her PADD which she'd had propped up.] Oh, heh. Sorry, didn't realise I'd left it on again. At least this isn't as embarrassing as last time, huh? Uh, in case there's somebody who knows more stuff about this than me on the network; anybody know how to rewire a class three Starfleet issue tricorder to stop the glitch on the mineral analysis program? It's being a total ass.

Third Person: Gaila was nothing short of furious. Nobody took a daughter of Orion for a fool and Jim Kirk was coming dangerously close to feeling the full brunt of her wrath. The shuttles wouldn't leave without her, that was was positive of, they couldn't run an engine room without one of the key computer specialists, so the shuttle would just have to wait for her. The emerald green woman ducked and weaved her way swiftly through the crowd of red uniformed cadets scrambling to get to their new assignments. 'Fools' She thought to herself with a roll of eyes, it wasn't as if they were going to get left behind.

She kept her eyes scanning over faces and species, the anger growing inside her bubbling and expanding out of her usual tightly locked box. The very concept that she might have been used for answers of all things and not sex was just offensive and she was going to demand an apology from Jim Kirk of Iowa. One of the younger cadets skittered to a stop as she stormed past, watching in relative awe before one of his friends tugged him away. Even they knew that an angry Orion was an incredibly dangerous Orion, if only because her pheromones were exuding more than usual, becoming sharper and more tangible.

"All cadets report to shuttles. All cadets report to shuttles." The automatic voice over in the hanger called as Gaila continued her search. They wouldn't leave without her. They needed her in that engine room. 'They'll wait.' She silently assured herself, heeled boots - which technically were far from regulation as a pair of boots could be - clicking on the concrete floor of the hanger.

They didn't wait.
