The Keeper
Lady Atka / Galacta Knight
It was a powerful, lethal attack he took great pride in. Taking down a formidable Star Warrior many years ago, he readied his hand once more as he aimed them at the figure in front of him.
“Amazing, isn’t it?” He spoke, gazing up at the pillars of glowing white swords hovering above him, “Each day I grow stronger...and you?"
He spoke with a comical air in his voice when he started to mention ‘him’ "Tell me, how have you been keeping up after he abandoned you? Is that the reason why you went into hiding for all these years?”
She did not reply.
“Aaah- still the same as ever, I see,” He gave a halfhearted laugh, “Pity that I’m going to have to cut this 'conversation' of ours short. I simply don’t have time to entertain the likes of you anymore- My true objectives lie elsewhere.”
The swords shifted slightly, but he noticed she still didn’t move. His eyes narrowed from her ominous behavior, and it was then he finally had enough.
“Do not be scared!” He stated as he made the sky rain with the very attack that killed her partner, “Be honored to know that you will die in the hands of the most powerful warrior in existence!!!”
He watched as she stood her ground, and it was only at the very last second when the attack hit did he catch a glimpse of movement. It was too late, however. Her speed cannot outmatch his power.
He stood by and waited until the plume of flurry and dust cleared to claim his victory. He took a few steps forward, but quickly stopped in his tracks when something caught his eye.
“W-what?!!!” He snapped when he saw her standing in the same place. Not only that, but….
“My attack? HOW?!!!”
The swords that once obeyed his every order now tower above her. He took a step back and watched as the figure extended one of her tails,
“You will claim such a rank once you have defeated me,” She spoke as the flurry of snow around the pair picked up.The knights' heart began to race from his failed attempt, and he looked on and she finally took a step towards him.
“But know this,” Her tails flexed as she aimed them at him, “I don’t intend to give in so easily…..”
“You’ll soon find out that taking me down will prove to be your greatest obstacle yet."

Yes!! Many of you have guess correctly from my older illustration. The Keeper that sealed Galacta is Lady Atka! She has gained the title after fulfilling several requirements and now keeps the peace from anyone endangering the fragile balance of Star Warrior and Guardian. (I was gonna post more about this, but I think I'll hold off for now.) >v<;;
I’m still working on her concept art, so this may not be her final design. I don’t want to change her /too/ much, so this is how she currently looks like. As you can see, her feathers grew out A LOT! It’s basically like a giant coat now. It’s actually loosely based off of another character I will be posting soon. (Or much later depending how lazy I am) Her tails and frills have also been slightly altered over the years of being out in freezing temperatures. I would still like to change something else, but I'm noooooot exactly sure what. XDD Eeeeep! Do you guys remember when I first started drawing her ouuuuut? I think I'm finally content with her design after 3 years. >u<;;
Another thing that’s quite important is her battle style. Atka rarely moves when she’s fighting. She stands her ground and uses her tails to defend herself. She still holds on to the belief of not fighting unless it’s absolutely necessary. Because of it, she just deflects everything around her….and why she has sealed Gala instead of killing him. The tails is actually one of my favorite things I love about her. >u<;
Ummmm…..I thiiiiink that’s all I wanted to say. Though there is still the question of how Gala escaped…..
