Galea

Galea is a central character in Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She is the origin of Meyneth.

Story arc
Galea is a scientific researcher of Aoidos and colleague of Klaus. She objects to his experiment in both games. In Xenoblade Chronicles she is shown in a flashback revealed by Alvis, where Shulk identifies her as Meyneth. Here, she warns Klaus that the results of the experiment have not been confirmed, and attempts to physically pull Klaus from the computer where he conducts his experiment. Klaus pushes her away and conducts his experiment despite her warning. Her real name is revealed during a flashback at the start of chapter 10 in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where she attempts to reason with Klaus, questioning whether he fully understands the Conduit. As in the first flashback, the experiment is conducted despite her warnings.

Trivia

 * Galea's name was never revealed in Xenoblade Chronicles. She was simply called "Meyneth" by Shulk. Her original name was only revealed in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
 * A name card identical to Galea's is found after defeating the Infernal Guldo in the Land of Morytha. It is unknown whether this confirms that a part of Galea exists in Alrest, similar to how a part of Klaus exists in Alrest, or whether the name card is a reused asset.
