3. Character Information II
Age/Appearance: Gaila is emerald green with bright red curly hair and brown eyes. She is very physically attractive, something that is bred into her genes, being a member of the Orion race. She is a humanoid alien. She stands at roughly five foot six. She is roughly twenty five in human years, age is considered not relevant on Orion so official records are not taken.
History: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Gaila_%28Orion%29
Gaila is an ex-slave girl, having decided that she no longer wanted to just dance and screw 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.
Most of this comes from headcanon and information from Memory Beta as Gaila's past is not explored during the movie at all.
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.
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.
Sexual Preferences/Orientation: Gaila is pansexual. Sex, race, appearance, gender. None of that matters to her. This comes from the culture she grew up in being very sexually fluid and not being judgemental when it comes to matters pertaining to sex. In terms of sexual preferences, she has very few and she isn’t picky with her partners. For Gaila, having sex is along the same lines of saying hello to somebody, it’s a means of communicating and becoming closer to somebody. That being said, she also does it because it’s downright fun.
In terms of relationships, Gaila would find it hard going to be in a relationship that was one hundred percent monogamous, she would have to be well and truly in love, almost to the point of infatuation, with somebody to give up something that she values so highly and is such a big part of her. That being said, she wouldn’t be unable to have a comfortable relationship with somebody she loved, although it might be difficult for her to express her emotions any other manner but physically.
Powers: Pheromones. 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.
Seduction. Orion slave girls such as Gaila are taught from a young age how to use their sexual prowess to entice their ‘owners’ into becoming their slaves through a mix of their dancing, sensual skills and pheromones. This is something she considers herself very skilful at, having dedicated most of her life, since the age of five years old, to learning the skills needed by an Orion slave girl.
Reason for playing: Gaila is very much so a people person, she loves people and she finds them utterly fascinating. A place like Bete Noire, with it’s many varied personalities and species would be her Mecca. Gaila is a character I felt was entirely underdeveloped and underappreciated in the movie and could have easily have been expanded upon to make her more important, rather than just that Orion chick that Kirk slept with to find out how to beat the Kobayashi Maru.
Gaila is, quite obviously, a walking pheromone production unit, so it would be interesting to see the effect she has on other people in Bete Noire, most likely enticing them into committing sin with her. Although she personally doesn’t believe in the concept of sin, it might be interesting to pitch her against the more morally rigid muses within the environment and have her display her own moral code, which is admittedly rather loose and liberal. In Bete Noire, I would like to develop her character more and develop on Gaila’s own story.

First-Person: Would anybody know where a girl could get her hands on some Romulan Ale? I haven’t seen any in years and I feel like a bit of a nostalgia trip or a party or something. Everybody seems so tense as of late!
I mean, if we can’t find Romulan Ale then I suppose Cardassian Sunrises will do, but it’s just not the same. Oooh! What about Jack? I like Jack and Coke, that tastes nice. [Gaila grins beatifically at the camera before a mischievous air slides over her pretty features and she flips her hair over her shoulder.] Yanno, if anybody feels like helping me out with this then we could have a private party of our own. In my bed. Or in the shower if that’s what you’d prefer. I do like showers!
See what you can do cuties!
Third-Person: “Lieutenant Gaila, report to your station, please.” A testy looking engineer ordered the green woman even as she gave him a charming smile and a wink. That was Valentine, wasn’t it? Five and a half inches. Good with his fingers. Now she remembered why he was so grumpy with her, she’d promised him a date tonight and they’d got caught up with this distress call instead. Good, once this was all over she was going to need something to take her mind of stupid Kirk and his stupid cheating on the Kobayashi Maru. What a jerkface, using her like that. It was insulting to an Orion woman such as herself only to have been used for information, was he utterly unaware of her excellent sexual prowess? Jerkface, definitely a jerkface.
Gaila nodded, patting her friend on the shoulder before taking up her station, sitting down and checking the mainframe. No bugs as of yet. Which was weird, because the Farragut was well known for being iffy on its network. The only thing was. “Commander?” She called for attention, frowning at her screen, waving a green hand in the air to call on of her senior officers over. “There’s something up with the system. Transporters are acting funny and the comms are spiking.”
“We’re in warp.” She tried to explain. “Could have something to do with it. Or to do with the electrical storm.” The Commander shrugged in confusion, tapping a few codes into the screen, her forehead furrowing in confusion. “Oh. We’re coming out in a few seconds, we should be able to see what’s up then.”
Gaila nodded stiffly, lines of programming running across her mind as she tried to figure out what could fix this problem. The white light that engulfed her was unexpected as she was pulled, it almost felt like a transporter but more bodily than a transporter, as if there were somebody’s hands lifting her from her chair and pulling her along. She was then unceremoniously dumped on to the cold hard floor. The green woman blinked and looked around, brown eyes wide in confusion, it was a city. A city. Why wasn’t she on the Farragut? She was supposed to be on the Farragut. Not in a city. Gaila pushed herself up, brushing down the bright red of her Engineering uniform, wishing she’d paid more attention to Earth geography. She didn’t recognise any major landmarks, but that big towering tower thing looked like a good place to start.
Third-Person #2: Photosynthesis had its advantages.
Gaila stretched out in the grass that was just as green as she was, sighing happily up at the sun that had graced her with its presence, uncurling her muscles. This was something she had missed from Orion, Humans were so determined that everything had to be perfectly covered up and ‘modest’. Urgh, modesty. She could definitely live without another rant from one of the lecturers about appreciating other cadet’s modesty boundaries. If they couldn’t deal with seeing a naked green woman, Gaila’s reply had been, then they were clearly better off not looking at her what so ever. The Orion wiggled her toes gleefully, giving another happy little sigh as her chlorophyll worked its magic, leaving her feeling energetic and ecstatic.
“Gaila?” The eternally mischievous voice of Jim Kirk of Iowa sounded through her happy haze of sun, bringing the chill of a cloud over her emerald skin.
“Get out of my sun, farmboy.” Gaila grumbled playfully, keeping her eyes closed and waving him away, using the insult she’d so frequently heard her roommate use to describe him. She never had understood why Uhura so vehemently hated Kirk but she suspected it had something to do with him wanting to get into her pants all the time. This was odd, because Gaila tried to get into Uhura’s underwear all the time and the pretty cadet normally just laughed it off and said something about cultural differences. That, and, ‘Please don’t bring guys back to the room without telling me first, Gaila.’ That was a common phrase heard in their shared room.
“You know. The botanical gardens on the roof aren’t meant to be used for public nudity. Not that I’m objecting of course.” Kirk smirked. He did that a lot. Smirking. He was a smirky kind of guy really. If he had of been a woman, Gaila would have been certain he was of Orion descent. Green skin or no green skin. The cadet did as told for once in his life, shifting so the sun could bathe her gloriously naked body once more before sinking down into the grass beside her, Gaila peeking an eye open curiously. “What do you want, Kirk?” She asked, letting her gaze flick down to his crotch where that familiar bulge was beginning to grow. “Beside me, that is.” The Orion woman added coyly with a smirk all of her own.
A few minutes later, she couldn’t remember exactly -that happened with amazing regularity - how he’d smooth talked her into this, but somehow he’d manage to get her on his dick and on top of him, moaning prettily. She knew just exactly how to twist and buck her hips to make them both groan from the heady pleasure, grinding against him expertly, making him choke out odd little noises of surprise alongside his moans. Silly little human, Gaila thought fondly as his hands grasped at her waist, pulling her down onto his thrusts. They both only lasted ten more minutes before reaching their peaks.
Gaila extracted herself from his grips, stretching out on the grass that she so loved once more. Sun and sex before twelve. Today was turning out to be a surprisingly efficient day.
