Gaile

Gaile is a minor character and a temporary party member in Act One of I Am Still Alive, only fighting alongside Emily for the battle against the Restless Afflicted.

They can later be found in the ruined Mansion, where they will sell items to Emily (reluctantly, as they feel bad about charging her.)

It is unknown what happened to Gaile after Emily leaves the ruined Mansion. They are not seen again for the remainder of Act One.

Emily
Gaile and Emily fight alongside each other against the Restless Afflicted. While their interactions are brief, Emily finds herself to have a crush on Gaile, which she hints at many times in her dialogue (before outright stating it in a Bond Heart conversation with Osilus.) Gaile seems to reciprocate this to an extent, rushing to hug Emily upon seeing her outside the Mansion, after it is destroyed.

@%#38[[The Dog|@%#38$&]]
Gaile and @%#38$& seem to have a good relationship. Though they do not interact directly on-screen, they spend some time in the main hall together up until it's attacked by the Entity. @%#38$& comments that Gaile seems like "the kind of person [he] could hold a conversation with," and points out the other's overt feelings for Emily.

Trivia

 * Though they only serve as such temporarily, Gaile is the first party member to join the player in I Am Still Alive.
 * If spoken to in the Mansion's main hall, Gaile talks about their deceased sister. They are soon troubled by the memory of her, however, and find it too difficult to continue the conversation.
