Always loyal without question, Gaga takes great pride in being a steward, and has served for over 1000 years. He can also transform into a black, red-eyed cat with bat-like wings.
Nikolai Nomasdina – Master swordsman, gypsy caravan boss, and old friend of Gaga, he is possessed of the Sight, the magical ability to see the absolute truth in what he looks at.

-Gypsy Romance-
(Main Courtyard of the Princess academy)
The five former Platinum Princess candidates are standing near the bulletin board, looking for any remaining part-time jobs. There is only one left, near the top right-hand corner of the board. Yuushi jumps up to get it. "Hmph!" said Grenda, "If Erumina's wings hadn't gotten caught on a coatrack, we'd have been able to pick any job we wanted. Now my radiant beauty and fantastic magical powers may go to waste!"
"You could have kept going, I would have disentangled myself." Erumina replied calmly.
"It doesn't matter, the job will take up to five." interjected Beth, who was looking over Yuushi's shoulder.
"Um… but what is it?" asked Kokoru.
"A Gypsy caravan has come into town. They're looking for assistants."
(The girls are walking across the bridge, their respective servants waiting to pick them up.)
"It doesn't start until tomorrow though."
"In that case," said Erumina, "I had best be going home. Barizan."
"Yes, Princess." the large robot replied. He lifted her easily to his shoulder and walked off, his feet making loud pounding noises, as usual.
"I'll go home too" said Beth, and ran off swiftly into the trees, followed by Berubel, who cried, "Wait for me-desu!"
"I should go too…" said Kokoru softly. "Good-bye Yuushi-san, Grenda-san, see you tomorrow!"
"I'm right behind you, Kokoru-chan!" piped her little ghost servant, Chow.
Yuushi turned to Grenda, smiling. "Will you walk home with me, Grenda? Come on, it'll be fun!"
"I suppose so. Come on Gaga."
"Yes, Princess."
"You too, Cube!"
"Right, miss!" (whispering) "Though, really, walking home with Princess Grenda can be…"
"Don't speak ill of the Princess!" Gaga interrupted sharply.
"I wasn't! I was going to say it can be… interesting! Really!"
Oh, of course you were! That's why you were whispering!"
"Eh-heh-heh… Anyway, miss, what job did you get this time?" Cube changed the subject.
"We're going to be assistants to the gypsy caravan that just arrived in town." Yuushi answered his query.
"Gypsies?" asked Gaga, "I haven't seen a gypsy show in a while."
"Shows? Gypsies are performers?" Asked Yuushi.
"Oh, yes. They sing, dance, perform acrobatics, and do weapons exhibitions, that sort of thing. They also sell their delicious foods and the crafts they make."
"Hmph!" Sniffed Grenda. "They can't be that good or they'd have come to Hell before."
"Actually, Princess, they have." Gaga corrected her. Hoping she wouldn't be upset about it, he added, "Though that was before your time, about fifty years ago."
"Really?" Yuushi was interested now, she didn't know much about Gaga, other than that he was Grenda's tall, old, and fiercely loyal servant. "Was that when you last saw them?"
"Yes," he said nostalgically, "They entertained at the palace…"
