While I’m still not really 100% about the later bits of canon in this AU (and even if I’m going to have a time skip at all) I’ve been thinking about tabloids and public perceptions of Gali for a while so let me just use this as an excuse to dump rambles on you.
While she’s in Paris probably something like “MYSTERIOUS HEROINE” and an article a young woman rescuing show girls from sewer monsters, but you can’t make out her face and nobody actually knows who she is (which serves Gali just fine- she can’t get yelled at for not being careful if no one ever finds out).
After she comes out as a Wulfenbach there’s definitely going to be headlines like “THE BARON’S LONG LOST DAUGHTER” as well as some claiming she’s the long lost Heterodyne heir, and that’s why the jaegers are working for the Baron
Every other week there’s a rumor about her being engaged to this young nobleman or that deranged spark or even (one memorable occasion) to Queen Alba, but those only last for so long before everyone realizes they’re bogus. There’s always a lot of things about “Ereshkigal Wulfenbach wore this coat or that dress” because Gali really enjoys fashion (I mean seriously, look at Gil in canon) and tends to stand out, since she prefers bright colors. There’s also one story that claims the Baron is holding her mother hostage in exchange for service to the empire, and that Othar Tryggvassen (Gentleman adventurer!) has sworn that he will not rest until the Baron is overthrown and his true love is safely out of his evil clutches. (Wooster laughs about this one for a week. Gali is not amused).
I woud like to see just what the tabloids have to say about Ereshkigal during and after the time skip.
