Backstory
Galene grew up in a large family of multiple siblings. Her parents weren't individually attentive, at times mixng her up with siblings, so she moved out early on to live with her cousin Delmas and his smaller family. She wasn't especially close to her siblings either, with Delmas being the one she truly considers family more than anyone else.
Growing up with her cousin's family, she was mainly around Delmas since his parent's spent months at a time traveling for who knows what. The two were pretty self sufficient and prepared regardless, knowing how to cook and manage the home, as well as taking care of the other when needed. Galene felt comfortable with that as her home life, but did run into some trouble as a student. Early on, she was behind others as far as her reading abilities, and getting held up on that subject led to her having difficulty to other subjects involving any type of reading and writing. Still, she took measures to have someone patient tutor her and get her caught up while she ultimately learned she was dyslexic.
Other students didn't pay that much attention to her even so, figuring she was slow in all she did and that's all it was. She had a circle of friends so she was blended in well, not being someone who essentially stood out. As she grew up and navigated her interests, unsure of what future suited her, she was able to fall in love with rock culture eventually.
Attending a festival one day, she noticed a rock band playing a song that excited her, the strong vibrations of the room and the powerful vocals involved luring her in. From then on she began to seek out rock concerts at venues near her, avidly wanting to experience the same hype she did with the first show she saw. Becoming engrossed in something for the first time, she became an even happier person.
Before finding her passion, she fit into the mold of a more cutesy and slow paced girl. That's still the personality she retained, yet her fashion changed from plain clothes to dark and accessorized sooner or later. She liked the idea of collecting shirts for the bands she saw, and visibly fitting into the dark atmosphere of the venues. Frankly, her cousin and her friends didn't share the same interests as her, but she didn't mind as it was a feeling special to herself she thought. Music sounded like a good idea to get into as she wouldn't have to read often, but she preferred playing guitar by herself at home, and still got a summer job at a post office to continue spending her money on shows.
Currently, she's still a student, and decided it would be fine to continue working at the post office during the school year if it means she can often go to concerts with the money she makes. She's still got no aspirations for her future, uncertain if college is worth it given the amount of entry level jobs she could still advance in realistically. And even then, she has friends that are open to becoming roommates so they can pay for expenses cheaply and engage in their hobbies. Her cousin Delmas sometimes hears her play the guitar at home and recommends that she really could give music a try one day. It's an option she keeps in mind, but trading her skills for a life where she won't live as casually doesn't interest her. A slow paced life is easy to plan ahead for suits her best.
