Gaia

Gaia, also known as Terra, is the Primordial Goddess and Personification of the Earth from Greco-Roman mythology. She is the ancestor of all Greco-Roman gods, as all Titanian gods and Olympian gods are descended from her.
== Overview ==
Gaia, also known as Gaea, is the personification of the Earth, the daughter of Chaos, and one of the Protogenoi (the Greek primordial gods). She is also the great mother earth goddess from Greek Mythology. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. She is the immediate parent of Ouranos, from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods), other gods, and the Gigantes (Greek Giants), and of Pontus, from whose union she bore the sea gods.
She also conceived the Cyclops and the Hecatonchires with Ouranos, who later shunned them and hid them in Tartarus, causing her great pain. So Gaia devised a plan. She created a grey flint sickle. And Cronus used the sickle to castrate his father Ouranos as he approached Gaia to have intercourse with her. From Ouranos' spilled blood, Gaia produced the Erinyes, the Gigantes and the Meliae.
When Rhea was pregnant with her youngest child, Zeus, she sought help from Gaia and Ouranos. When Zeus was born, Rhea gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling-clothes in his place, which Cronus swallowed, and Gaia took the child into her care. With the help of Gaia and Chronos' advice, Zeus defeated the Titans and then chucked them in the very depths of Tartarus in a prison of eternal suffering and pain. Upon discovering the fate of her children, Gaia was furious and mad for revenge. She then proceeded to continuously give birth to countless creatures, secretly conceiving a new breed of giants in a cave in northern Greece. But afterwards, Gaia, in union with Tartarus, bore the youngest of her sons Typhon (and his consort Echidna), who would be the last challenge to the authority of Zeus.
== Appearance ==
As a personification of the Earth, Gaia doesn't have a true appearance of her own, but instead is required to possess the bodies of priestesses who are most suitable to her characteristics. She will sometimes appear to people in the form of a giant woman's face, shifting the natural environment to mimic the movement of facial features and her emotions.
Her latest body was that of an ash nymph, a descendant of the original Meliai who are Gaia's daughters with Ouranos, and appeared to be in her early 20s. She has fair and smooth skin, pointed elf-like ears, green eyes and hair, and a voluptuous figure, as her breasts were noted to be "nearly popping out of her top".
When she was first sealed by the Twelve Olympians after the First Giant War, she possessed the body of a woman with pale skin and short, messy blue-hair.
Back in the time of Ancient Greece, it appeared that she had a constant human form, as Zeus stated that her appearance in the First Giant War was completely different from what she had appeared as before. Her original appearance was that of a matronly woman with an enormous pair of breasts and dazzling green eyes that were described as "like all nature have been condensed into two shining gems". Her long, flowing hair was pitch-black and was braided with countless pieces of gemstones and precious metals.
== Personality ==
In many ways, Gaia is the ideal mother, loving her children first and foremost despite many of them being known for their monstrous appearance and nature. She is willing to do anything to protect her children, even if it means taking the most extreme measures. It is because of this protectiveness that she is known to be very cruel to anyone who threatens them, which oddly includes the gods - her own descendants - and even her children who don't follow her plans or goals.
However, according to Phanes, her own well-being and self-preservation are always more important to her, enough for her to sacrifice her children if it meant she would be able to survive.
She has a serene smile which hides a nasty disposition. She is extremely manipulative and vindictive, treating everyone around her as her puppets, with her children being her favorites, though she claims she truly loves them and only has their best interest in mind. She prefers to let others to "get their hands dirtied" instead of her, believing such things are beneath primordial gods such as her.
=== Roman Form ===
Similar to other Greco-Roman gods, Gaia also possesses a Roman form named either Terra or Tellus. 
However, due to her status as a primordial goddess, her two forms are completely identical, though Demeter claims her consciousness as Terra sounds much more genuine and caring than Gaia.
== History ==
Gaia is one of the gods of Classical mythology worshipped by humanity since the times of Ancient Greece and Rome. As a primordial god, she had also partaken in the creation of the world as we know it since the beginning of the Solar System and the foundation of the Earth.
