Gaila

Gaila1
Species : Orions
An Orion female, Gaila was a Cadet at Starfleet Academy in 2258 when James T. Kirk attended. She was Uhura's roommate during that year; some friction developed between the two due to Gaila's habit of bringing men back to their room for the night. Kirk was one of Gaila's partners, and was caught hiding under her bed by Uhura when she came back early unexpectedly. Gaila had told Kirk that she was in love with him, and was disappointed when he replied "that is so weird" rather than returning the sentiment.2

Gaila was subsequently present during the next day's hearing into Kirk's actions in cheating to beat the Kobayashi Scenario. She was one of those assigned to a vessel as part of the fleet's improvised response to a crisis on the planet Vulcan.3
