Fandom Response

Although she appears in only two scenes in the movie, many fans have embraced her[1] and given her a new life in fanfiction. Common subjects in Gaila-centric fanfiction include differences between Orion and human sexual mores, whether or not she was a slave girl, and whether or not she survived the destruction of the ships sent to Vulcan.

She is sometimes shipped with Uhura.
