Though there have been a few sets of twins around House Domina (not the least of which are Zora's), this couple are seemingly boundless with energy and talent. With a strong heritage of magic oriented parents, not a normie in the family, but a rather short line of ancestry that can be traced, the Gallaghers have been a respected part of the Magical Council for a few generations. The pair of twins are likely to enter the Council themselves, but perhaps not right after they graduate.

However... That would depend on them pairing up with weird off-world dragons, now wouldn't it? After all, their former realm doesn't much approve of House Domina's lax standards of dress code (though that doesn't seem to stop their students from taking home very high final grades!), and all this business with dragons! One can't just fly into the Ministry's headquarters on a ... a dragon!

But that's exactly what Niska and Noah plan on doing, some day. Niska has already spoken to an professor or two and knows she'd be good at tracking down evil mages or ghosts. Her 'contacts' in the spirit world are excellent at aiding her there. Noah on the other hand has his eye on a spot regarding Mundane Relations - he's seen plenty of young witches and wizards fall for normal folk, and wants to make sure that any relationships they have go smoothly - politically as well as romantically.

Niska has never much cared for herbology, her poorest subject because she just doesn't like getting her hands dirty. Noah quickly discovered his stopping block in Historical subjects, unable to really connect to much of the magical world's wars or conflicts. He'd much rather read the horoscopes in a newspaper, than try and memorize the Goblin Wars peace treaty. ** Note, after a couple years they don't have to do any of that - they can take normal math, geography and sociology, just like down in CHS or Wonder!

Together they are standing at the Realm of Atti, hoping for dragons to bring back to House Domina.

There was nothing better than flying on the backs of matching dragons. And though they weren't completely alike, well, Noah and Niska weren't exactly the same either. With joy they both trumpeted and the kids yelled down to the House. They were going to make a great pair of players for the dragon sports team, that was for sure!

With graduation looming, the pair did need to decide what paths they would walk. The thing is, with their dragons' connection to one another as well as their riders, no longer were the twins unduly distracted if they were apart for too long. Because of course, the dragons could instantly connect, and their own bond to the humans was strong enough that the dragons sometimes had difficulty telling who was whom in the mental aether.

Also of course, with moving from That Other Realm to Twoarth, their options have opened up tremendously. Noah did find his niche first, going to a graduate school for psychology and relations, in order to better understand all the nuances of the many disparate types of pairings here. After all, you could have a magical otter-Kin and a mundane partner from skinside, or even an offworld nonhuman paired up with an elk-kin here and there, who even knew! So he practices couples counseling and helps break the ice for even new dragon riders.

Niska actually has her hands full because there are quite a few rogue ghosties and even some demonic entities wandering around the world, not just Twoarth - she has been offworld and to several known locales, even back 'home' to their original realm. She claims that place is 'doomed', but sometimes she does arrive with a new student in tow.
