—
- Galen is the third and youngest son of Dumbbell and Gilda. Softspoken and quiet, he is unlike his Griffon heritage. Galen is the peacemaker of the siblings, and although not as vocal, is also very wise like his brother Gideon. He was always a very good student and Gabriel liked to take advantage of that. I guess you could say Galen is a bit of a "door mat".. but he's a sweet door mat.
- Galen is a practicing counselor at the School of Friendship. Twilight and Fluttershy have been teaching him how to listen to other ponies problems and how to give them advice on how to handle and make the better of any situation. Galen seems to heed Fluttershy's advice a bit more than Twilights; but she had some valid points as well.
- One of Galen's best friends is Ash Slate. They made friends after he and his little sister Windfall Pebble moved to Ponyville so she could attend school with the other ponies there. (Not the Friendship School, regular school) Galen also has a hobby of collecting cool rocks and precious gems; not as over the top obsessed as Ash is, but Galen has a nice collection. Galen is completely unaware of the fact Ash has a crush on him.
- Dumbbell and Gilda, at first, did everything they could to try and toughen Galen up; but after years of trying and failing, they finally accepted Galen for his soft natured self.. But tried their best to protect him despite his pleading for them not to baby him.
- If there is an event going on in the Square, it is almost a guarentee that Galen will be in the crowd somewhere; No matter what's going on. He just likes being involved in the community.
