Template:Infobox character Galfoy,[1] also known as Dracia Malfoy, Draconia Malfoy, or Malfoid, is a fan-made tsundere and gender-swapped version of the Harry Potter franchise character Draco Malfoy, in which the character is a girl instead of a boy, and grows to be romantically interested in Harry Potter.[2] The character was originally created on 14 January 2018 by Jean "TheMightFenek" Hayashi, a Japanese online artist, as part of a comic commission which she posted to Twitter and DeviantArt. Galfoy subsequently became an Internet meme and rose in popularity internationally following a Twitter trend of drawing her in 2026,[3] with related hashtags in English and Japanese trending on Twitter; several professional Japanese artists contributed their own renditions of the character on the website, referring to the character as Galfoy, derived from 'Girl Malfoy' or Gal-foy.[4]
Background
In January 2018, Japanese Twitter and DeviantArt user Jean "TheMightFenek" Hayashi started a drawing trend of drawing Draco Malfoy gender-swapped, as a girl instead of a boy, Dracia Malfoy,[‡ 1][‡ 2] and likened to the tsundere anime trope in being shipped with Harry Potter, in a variation of the Drarry ship.
The concept went viral in September 2026 following a Twitter post of Galfoy by RedTeneri, which was followed by hundreds of thousands of pieces of fan-art, fan-fiction, Harry Potter rewrites, fan films, and dating sim video games being produced about the character and ship, both from human-made and artificial intelligence-produced sources.[5][6][7][8]
The manga artists Soichiro Yamamoto, Bkub Okawa, and Shun Saeki were noted for drawing fan-art of Galfoy and helping to coin the "Galfoy" name.[‡ 3][9][‡ 4]

Dubbed "Galfoy" or "Malfoid" if women cover their drinks around you, this trend has been seeing fans reinterpret the Harry Potter series through an important lens: what if instead of a bratty rich boy, his rival and bully was a bratty rich chick."
