===Life Before Hogwarts===
Gaia did not know she was going to grow up to be a witch when she was a little girl. Her mother Linda is a muggle stand up comedienne, and she has never known her father.
She was raised by her mother's friends Madoc and Enid Charles along side their children Eira and Rhys while her mother went on tour. When she was seven, the year after her mother told her she would no longer be staying with Eira and Rhys. Gaia had begun displaying her latent magic abilities, the muggles she was surrounded by had no explanation for it. Linda discussed the "strange occurrences" that only seemed to happen around Gaia with Enid and Madoc. 
Linda knew what was happening with Gaia, for the sake of her friends Enid and Madoc she pretended she did not. She apologized for having left her daughter with them for so long, and any problems she may have caused with Eira and Rhys. Enid and Madoc assured her there was nothing to apologize for.
Gaia and her mother moved away two years later. Linda stopped doing comedy shows so that she could with stay with her daughter. When Gaia's Hogwarts letter arrived her mother Linda was uncertain about letting her daughter go. There was absolutely no magic Linda could teach Gaia, but she wanted her daughter close if anything should ever happened to her. Linda was convinced by the understanding and patient Hogwarts staff member to let Gaia go, and with that the little girl was on her way to Hogwarts. 
====Slytherin====
Gaia was a Hatstall between Gryffindor and Slytherin. She has clear cut qualities that could have landed her anywhere. She pretty much begged to be with the Snakes, she was drawn to the Dungeons right away.
She was slow to develop because she knew the least about magic of all her classmates. She failed almost all of her classes in her first through third year, and she complained to her mother that magic school was not what she thought it would be. She begged not to be sent back. 
:Linda explained to Gaia life is not always what people think it will be. She told her daughter she had to take what she wanted from life. If she did not like Hogwarts she had to find something about it she did like. If she did not like her classes, she had to find something that caught her interest.
Gaia did not find anything interesting in her books or her classes when she returned to Hogwarts. She excelled at Charms and Transfiguration, she even has a steady enough hand for a flair with Potions. 
At 12 and ¼ she found her niche in a storage room, it was someone's old broomstick, gathering dust. A 2014 Starsweeper XXI. Gaia realized something when she claimed, and secretly flew that broom. She did not hate Flying class the same way she had hated the rest of her classes in first year, she was not very good either. Gaia started spending all of her time at the training grounds. She flew during breakfast, she flew during lunch, and she flew during dinner. It became hard for people to find her because her feet were never on the ground. 
Gaia played Keeper for her quidditch team, a position she learned to love for the complexity involved in staring a Chaser down, then determining in a split second whether or not either of you have the skills to make or break the game. Making a switch toward the middle of her fifth year to play Chaser (and reserve Keeper) was a let a down she was forced to play Chaser the entire year. Gaia was playing the position she hated the most, second to playing Seeker, which she despised. Gaia is at home in-front of those hoops. There truly is no other place on the quidditch pitch for her. 
====Harpies====
When she left Hogwarts she knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to be a Harpy. She was determined to play quidditch for the team in Holyhead, and she would not let anything stand in her way. She attempted to take a place as a Chaser... big mistake. Some of the girls from her time at Hogwarts were already vying for, and locked in those spots. She was able to steal the Keeper spot. A feat she is sometimes more proud of than she probably should be. Gaia was able to play in the 2025 Quidditch World Cup, in that same season the Holyhead Harpies took home the win.

==Personality==
Self-confident - Kittenish, Acerbic, Vulgar, Lonesome
Gaia is amusingly confident in herself. She is a potty mouth, she swears like a sailor and loves to say morbid things like; "I want to wear your lungs like fairy wings." or "I like the way you think. I wish I could crack open your skull and gnaw on your brains." She says these things for the reaction, which she always finds hilarious be it anger or shock. She is not the friendliest person, or the easiest person to talk to. She has a habit of making a person think she is not listening to them or that she does not care. She is listening, and she does care, but do not ask her. Her answer will be completely random.
:She is a bit of a $#^%-starter. She likes to get into fights with people, verbal or physical and she doesn't mind wearing a black or blue eye for a few days to let the world know it too. She nicknamed her fists the girls; Lucy and Desi.

===Appearance===
Frankie Sandford
Gaia resembles her father, although she shares her grandmother Celinda's strong Argentinian features. She has warm medium tan skin, and a square shaped face. Her eyes, they are the same sparkling brown eyes as her father. She has brown hair, which in her early childhood grew to be very long, and at one point attained the same beautiful sun-streaks in a light brown dark gold color that her father had. When she was seventeen Gaia started cutting her hair, very short. She is addicted to cutting her hair, and is frequently cutting it "too short. Her pixie style awkwardly grew out into an asymmetrical cut she started to love. Her trademark style. 
==Relationships==
<tabber>
|-|Immediate Family=
Family Member	Relationship with them
Mother 	Linda had a distant relationship with her daughter when she was younger. Gaia was frequently "babysat" by and temporarily lived with Linda's friends Madoc, and Enid until she was seven.
Sister 	Peyton is her father's daughter alright, except she looks like her mother. "Irish twins", Peyton beat Gaia (they tied officially) for the Hogwarts Potions Champion title. Gaia did indeed jinx her for it.
Brother 	Isaac is Gaia's favorite playmate. When Eira and Rhys were being the a-holes they are. She and Isaac would run away and blow off steam chucking rocks or breaking glass. No one can ever replace Ike.
Father 	The father that Gaia should have had, she barely knows. Being that her mother is believed to be a Muggle Gaia assumed this man was a Wizard. He is not, entirely. He happens to be Muggle-Born.
Extended family: 
Celinda Varela Grandmother	Ianto Ellis Grandfather	Nia Bamford Grandmother	Lloyd Peregrine Grandfather
Siana Ellis Aunt 	Dylan Charles Uncle 	Mair Peregrine Aunt 	Trevor Duvall Uncle
 	 	 	
|-|Friends=
Friend 	Relationship with them
Morgan Reese 	Morgan was a fantastic Harpy! Say otherwise a expect a fist (Lucy or Desi) to the mouth. She, and Lena were instrumental in winning the 2025 World Cup. Although she didn't exactly make her feelings about Morgan leaving the team known to everyone, she knows for damn sure Morgan knows how she feels about it.
Althea Keyne 	Gaia did not favor Althea simply because she was a Chaser. She did treat her with the same amount of respect she gave Althea's twin sister Delilah. They were opponents turned teammates. They were never the closest, but Gaia knew Althea was undeniably the one she could count on when $#^* hit the fan.
:Althea still is first on the list of contacts when Gaia fights her way into any Holding Cells.
Delilah Keyne	Gaia did not particularly like Delilah simply because she was a Chaser. She still treated her with the same amount of respect she gave her twin sister Althea. They were opponents turned teammates. Never the closest or even considered close, Gaia would still deck ANYONE in the jaw if they said something bad about Delilah.
Eira Charles 	Eira was like a sister to Gaia growing up, until freaky things started happening around Gaia. When a set of books flew towards Eira's head it was after she told Gaia that she only lived in the Charles' house because her own mother did not want her. Eira and Gaia still do not speak much or at all.
Rhys Charles 	Rhys was like a brother to Gaia growing up, until freaky things started happening around Gaia. When he woke up on the roof and had no recollection of how he got there, it did not take long to remember this was the morning after his fight with Gaia. Rhys remains apprehensive about making contact with her.
Holyhead Harpies 
Lena Schmidt Beater
Gaia prefers Lena simply because she is a Beater, it's a "thing" that she needs to work on. She doesn't know her well, but she knows Lena is wiser. Based on her past experiences with 'the Chaser trio', she does like her the second to the most out of all their teammates. She thinks they have very similar personalities but she can sense that they come from different backgrounds.	Emily Stanton Beater
Gaia hadhas a huge preference for the Beater Emily replaced. She is ridiculously sour on the girl despite her being a Beater. If she had been a Chaser, and not replaced Morgan she wouldn't have to "try and play nice". Can't ruin the hard earned team dynamic now, not after winning the World Cup.	Viola Sodworth Seeker 
Gaia doesn't care for Viola, simply because she is a Seeker, it's a "thing" that she needs to work on. She does like that Vi appears to have a little bit of a darker side to her. It's probably her favorite thing about her, like she if she stares at you long enough, you might blow up. She often observes her trying to understand how V does that.
Gwyn Baines Chaser
Gaia prefers Gwyn because they were in the same house at Hogwarts. They are only a few years apart in age, Gaia basically idolized Gwyn in school. She played Keeper for her during her Captaincy of the Slytherin team, and simultaneously took over her position and captaincy after she graduated (despite hating the position). Is there really more to say?	Julchen Beilschmidt Chaser
Gaia has no preference when it comes to Julchen. She is an amazing Chaser, of that there is no doubt. The fact that she, and another 'new girl' were able to break up the trio stings a bit. Julchen is a former Harrier, so needless to say, Gaia feels she has to prove she really is a Harpy. Just one of the girls.	Cerys Glyndwr Chaser
Gaia does not particularly like Cerys simply because she is a Chaser, of the two who broke up the longstanding trio. The same trio that won the world cup. ... Gaia doesn't have anything against Cerys personally. Except, maybe, her closeness with Lena. Gaia is known to be a tad jealous of those two and their particular "camaraderie".
