Even if it's not like, a whole fic or anything, I would love to know about some other Visitors like Mary and Gala that really had an impact on NiGHTS. They've been around a while, so there certainly has to be a few?

None that I've built out, honestly. There's been plenty of them, sure. NiGHTS has picked up a good amount of knowledge and skills and languages from the Dreamers they've hung out with since they're old enough that they've met thousands of Dreamers over their life time, picking up everything from several forms of sign language to an approximate knowledge of probably several dozen trades, fields of science and mathematics, and instruments. They picked up violin from a number of Dreamers likely round about the classical era of music (don't quote me on that I don't want to do date research rn lol), for example, and improved their flute playing by interacting with both professional and amatrues. Really, NiGHTS just likes humans and hangs out with them as much as possible. Some humans really like to infodump/explain their professions and NiGHTS loves that. NiGHTS thinks humans are just neat.
The earlier ones definitely had the most impact on them, though, since NiGHTS really didn't have much of an understanding of what humans even were other than "those things we scare and steal Ideya from" early on. I honestly tried to avoid making too many named Dreamer characters in my fics to keep the focus on the canon characters, Mary and Gala were both kind of spur of the moment characters (I do like them, though, because the best way to show a non-human character's "otherness" is to put them up against a human, even though I didn't put much focus on them.)
