Gabriella

Gabriella 'Marie Dove' Valentine (Also known as Gabi) is one of the youngest guards in KingdomsVille and the third member of the Army of Pecks. She is a hyper and loud dove, who enjoys eavesdropping and flying. As a side job, she also works at a shop with Nathan, where she sells books. Their shop is called Nat and Gabi's. She is the love interest of Dallas.

Biography
Gabriella first appeared in S1 E2, where she was called by Dallas to lower the drawbridge to allow Kelsey and Johnathon entry to KingdomsVille. She introduces herself, and says she is the newest member of the Army of Pecks. She calls Johnathon by the nickname of 'Johnny Black,' where Johnathon explains that Gabriella makes up nicknames for everyone, to which she adds that she added his last name for his nickname.

Gabriella then says that a guard named Anastasia ordered a mandatory search for a being named 'The Golden One,' which she asks Johnathon if she should patrol the borders. Johnathon says that she should be patrolling anyways if Anastasia ordered her to, which makes Gabriella become nervous, and eventually fly off in fear when Johnathon steps forward to confront her. She is not seen for several episodes.

Appearance
Gabriella is a bright light pink dove with long slightly darker wavy pink hair that curls at the end in the back, and at the edges of the front strands of hair. She has a large fringe that covers her right eye. Her beak is dark pink, and she has fuchsia wings that fade into a slightly lighter pink. She has a small pink tail sticking out of her pants. She wears a white shirt underneath several pieces of armor. She has dark red gloves and red shoulder pads with a yellow marking. Along with it, there is a black thin sash with two yellow marks on the front, which represent that there were two guards before her in the Army of Pecks. She also has red knee-pads with a large yellow center. Along with that, she has an actual dark gray sash covering a light gray breastplate. On her right arm, she has a long black glove that doesn't fully cover her hand. Her shoes are two different sizes, and the left one has grey stitching on the side.

Personality
In the series, Gabriella is the optimistic one. She makes everyone smile when they're feeling down, but she isn't always happy. When she is alone, she goes to a nearby pond or lake and talks to herself. She acts as though she is talking to her deceased mother. When she comes back, she is a little happier and calmer than when she left. Outside of being around friends, she can be quite vicious in battle and kills/injures with quick, smart movements. The edge of her beak is very sharp, and can bite deep into skin, which can possibly leave scars. Her talons are said to be sharp, but this hasn't been proven since they are always covered. She is very efficient at long range, but will make attempts to avoid close combat, and will even run from a person to use her bow at a long distance. When not fighting, she loves eavesdropping on conversations and talking about random things, despite that she knows not everyone will listen.

Trivia

 * Gabriella's last name was inspired by Cat Valentine from Victorious.
 * Gabriella's name means 'Woman of God.'
 * In the 'Beta' episodes, there were subtle hints that Gabriella had a crush on Merryweather . This thought has then been dismissed, as Gabriella has been confirmed to have a crush on Dallas.
 * It is rumored that Gabriella's theme song is a song by Melanie Martinez.
 * If Gabriella had to pick a favorite band or artist, she would pick One Direction.
 * If Gabriella was a Pokemon, she would definitely be an Oricorio (Ballie Style).
 * Kelsey has confirmed that Gabriella lives in a loft in her half of the shop she owns with Nathan.
 * Gabi has two middle names.
 * Gabi is religious. This is confirmed because she thinks of worshipping Zo'Zei and the Half-Blood Warriors as a religion of some sorts.
 * Gabriella and Johnathon are Kelsey's Top 2 favorite characters in The Journal, Johnathon being her first and Gabriella being her second.
 * Because Gabi is religious, she prays to the Half-Blood warriors that are now dead. Another exciting fun-fact is that she is one of the descendants of one of the original Half-Blood Warriors.
 * Gabriella used to have the ability to grow or shrink the curved edges of her talons whenever she pleased and use them in battle because she didn't wear shoes. It was also stated that she had to skip in order to stay walking, and fly in circles to stay in the air because her wings were always fractured, and she learned to deal with the pain of it. This idea has been disbanded, considering Gabi flies most of the time, and she wears shoes in the canon storyline now.
 * Gabriella's theme used to be 'First Flight Home' by Jake Miller during the 'Beta' episodes of the series. Her new theme is 'House of Gold' by twenty one pilots.
 * Gabi, as stated before, is highly religious, and would most likely believe someone if they said a demon was stalking her. Because of this, she would most likely prepare things that could chase the demon away if she ever actually encountered it.
 * If Gabriella was in a Hogwarts house, she would be a Hufflepuff.
 * Gabriella would confess to Dallas that she has a crush on him if she wasn't too shy to do so. She doesn't know he has a crush on her, and believes he won't accept her feelings.
 * Gabriella is a very optimistic person.
 * Gabriella hoards books.
 * Sadly, Gabriella cannot keep in contact with her parents, and she never can ever again unless she talks to herself. Her father was slaughtered in Bird Training Camp B, which is where her family was locked up. Her mother died of starvation in the cell with her. Gabriella was released after both her parents had died.
 * Gabriella was born in the same Bird Training Camp as Merryweather. This may be a hint as to how she knows him, and why she has (or had) a crush on him.
 * This is most likely not the case though, since female and male birds were separated from eachother in the camp, and Gabriella was released before Merryweather was because his parents were kept alive longer, and they chose to stay alive. Lily starved to death, and the father was executed for trying to escape the camp. Gabi was released after Lily died because the father was already dead.
 * Gabi is technically not the romantic type, but she changes when around certain people.
 * Gabi hops from city to city mainly because she wants to meet new people. She loves meeting new people, and knowing that a lot of people know and/or have met her.
 * Surprisingly enough, Gabi only manages to bring up bad memories, mainly because she never had a real childhood.
 * Gabriella would freak out if she got a compliment from someone she deeply respects and/or likes.
 * Gabriella’s backstory didn’t affect her as much, considering as she’s still the happy little shit she’s always been. However, it has affected how she reacts to certain situations that remind her of when she was trapped in the Bird Training Camp.
 * Gabi avoids numbers like 13 and 666, mainly because she is religious and these numbers bring bad luck (to her at least).
 * Gabriella falls in love way too easily, which is why she quickly swapped from liking Merryweather to falling in love with Dallas.
 * Gabi believes in love at first sight, considering she fell in love with Dallas moments after first meeting him.
