Backstory
Gale was born during a hurricane and has always been connected to the wind. She discovered she could read prophecies in air currents, weather patterns, and wind sounds. She's become the foremost wind-seer in Mystara, consulted about weather, travel, and messages carried on the breeze.
Daily Life
She maintains the Aerie, reads prophecies for visitors, and trains apprentices in air-divination. She spends her days flying on wind currents, seeking visions in the sky. She rarely stays in one place for long, as stillness weakens her abilities.

Narrative Value
