I am most likely to say 'girl' 'woman' or 'person'.
I feel like 'gal' is a word that comes out of the mouths of guys with handlebar moustaches. I can't remember the last time I used it.
'Lass' is what guys in utilikilts call girls they want to impress. Way too pretentious and pseudo-archaic for me.
'Lady', well maybe but only if I was being sarcastic for some reason. 'Chick' also, occasionally pops out of my mouth when I'm on a ramble or not paying terribly much attention.
'Other' in your case was something like a string of adjectives and nouns stuck together when it didn't seem like one of them was doing the job by itself or I didn't know which one was proper. Something like "you know that tass person, the faerie otherkin elf girl thing from lj?". :)
