Description
Gaur Galette des Rois is a supporting character from the anime Dog Days. He is thirteen years old and holds the dual roles of prince and warrior of the Galette Kingdom. As the younger brother of Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois, often called Leonmichelli or simply Leo, Gaur is a prominent figure in his nation, commanding great respect and loyalty from his subjects.

Gaur has a personality defined by a confident and passionate nature, often described as hot-blooded. He shares his sister's tendency to be somewhat brash or careless in manner, yet he possesses a strong sense of duty and gratitude. He does not forget acts of kindness and is known to be very protective over those he respects or considers his allies. This combination of boldness and loyalty makes him a well-liked and charismatic leader. He is depicted with white hair, yellow eyes, and cat-like ears.

In the story, Gaur is initially introduced as a rival to the protagonist, Cinque, who is summoned from another world. Their fighting styles are very similar, as both are agile, light-armored warriors. After they engage in battle, Gaur comes to view Cinque not just as an opponent but as a competitive rival and a comrade-in-arms. His motivations early on are heavily driven by a warrior's pride and a desire to test his strength. This is exemplified when he orchestrates the kidnapping of Princess Millhiore to draw Cinque into a direct duel, showing his impetuous and battle-seeking nature.

Gaur has several significant relationships that define his role. He serves under his sister, Queen Leonmitchelli, and their dynamic is a mix of sibling rivalry and mutual respect, though Leo is known to reprimand him for his more reckless actions. He is also the beloved commander of his own group of elite special forces known as Genoise, whom he treats with great care, almost like family, rather than as mere subordinates. This close bond contributes to his high standing and popularity within the Galette military.

His notable abilities are rooted in his combat prowess as a soldier. He specializes in Crest Techniques, powerful special moves utilized by warriors in the world of Flonyard. Gaur is known for techniques such as Lion King Double Fang and Tiger Fang Double Fist and can also perform a combination attack named Gourai Souga with an ally. His fighting style is nearly identical to that of his rival, Cinque, emphasizing speed and direct confrontation.

Throughout the series, Gaur undergoes a significant development in his character arc. While he begins as a capable but headstrong fighter, his journey introduces a challenge that forces him to mature. In the second season, he is able to use the power of a Hero Crystal, which temporarily transforms him into an adult form. Successfully mastering this power symbolizes his growth and gaining the crystal's recognition. This event marks a key transition for him, evolving from a warrior concerned primarily with individual strength into a more responsible leader worthy of his princely title.
