She is the Goddess of the Earth (大地の女神), Mother of the Titans (巨人の母), and is known as Mother Earth (母なる大地) in various ways. She is the Empress Dowager of the Titans (巨人の皇太后) and thus the titans pledged loyalty to her, even Cronus himself. She played the role of Earth General (地球将軍) in Animal-Human War. Her animal symbols are a serpent, a bull, a pig, and a bee. 
== Background ==
=== Family ===
Chaos emerged from nothingness, followed by her siblings Hydros, Gaia, Eros, and Tartarus. She also brought forth children like Erebus and Nyx. Gaia brought forth Ouranos, who would become a couple and bring forth the First Twelve Titans, the Elder Cyclopes, the Hecatonchires as well as the Furies. She also brought forth and marry Pontus, who is the husband of Thalassa. He is also father of Ceto, Phorcys and Eurybia, along with Gaia. Gaia is also the wife of Hydros, a self-emerged deity that brought forth the primordial time god Chronos. Erebus and Nyx brought forth Charon, Thanatos, Hypnos, Lahkesis, Atropos, Clotho, Aether, Hemera, Moros, Nemesis, the Keres and the Arae. Tartarus is the brother and another husband of Gaia, who brought forth the gigant Typhon. Tartarus embodies the Pits of Tartarus, the deep prison in the Underworld that contains the demons Satan/Beelzebub and Belial, which has the same name.   
===Rebel against Ouranos===
Uranus locked the Hecatonchires and the Elder Cyclopes into Gaia's belly. Gaia suffered in pain, and commanded their children, the Titans Coeus, Crius, Hyperion and Iapetus to position at the corners of the world, and Cronus cut Ouranos' genitals, which caused the birth of Aphrodite and the Furies. Ouranos then allowed Cronus to succeed his throne and exiled himself, until Cronus later forgave his father, and Ouranos agreed to return.  
===Titanomachy===
In 1684 B.C, Cronus's children, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus grew weary of their parents for not being able to save them, and the gods and Titans fought for 10 years, which Ares and Hephaestus were born at some point during the short Civil War. Afterwards the titans were imprisoned briefly in the Pits of Tartarus. However, when Zeus' forces are facing plague when Ares was nearly killed by the God-Killer using the Blade of Olympus, Zeus relented and decided to put aside all consequences and freed the titans. To his surprise, Cronus forgave his children and felt guilty for his inability and agreed to collaborate with the gods.

=== As an Encounter ===
In Lost Woods, you will encounter the titan of earth, but she won't seem to notice you until you hit her in the foot. She will then tell you the safest way to exit the forest, where you will encounter her husband Hydros. Later in difficulties like Normal onwards, you will be taunted about the children of Gaia, the rampaging Ourea for a battle of glory. You will be given the chance to choose which path will you take. 
=== As a Boss ===
==== Motive ====
According to Rickey, a suspicious magician has sent a letter about the Olympians planning to overthrow the titans, which is a false rumor to let the titans wage a war against the Olympians, a prophecy that became the common worry since the start of the Titanomachy. The titans fell for the lie, and plans to overthrow the Olympians before the rumor turns true. You have to defeat the titans and explain that the Olympians never thought of overthrowing the titans as Cronus was already forgiven. 
==== Battle ====
Over the course of the battle with all the Titans at once, Gaia, despite not a titan, chose to fight for her children, making her one of the only eight non-titan boss in the second path of the labyrinth, alongside Typhoeus, a gigant, the Elder Cyclopes Arges, Brontes, Steropes, alongside the Hecatoncheires Briareos, Cottus and Gyges. She will use earth magic like Stone Blast, Stalagmite, Grave, Dreaded Wave and Ground Dasher. She will punch you and will cause earthquakes every once in a while. Since she is a loving mother, when you attack her daughter Rhea, the latter will taunt the other titans. Gaia is among those that will locate and attack you. Defeating the titans will give you the chance to explain and they will then realize they fell for a trick just to wage the Second Titanomachy, but if you don't defeat them they will run back to their home, thus hinting that the Second Titanomachy might break out eventually. Winning earns you the aqua talisman.
