*"I love you more than anything."
"I love you too."*
―Gamora and Peter Quill's final words to each other.
**Gamora** is the deuteragonist of the 2014 film, *Guardians of the Galaxy,*  the tetartagonist of *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2*, and one of the main characters in *Avengers: Infinity War*.

Gamora serves as Peter Quill's main love interest and eventual girlfriend, an adopted daughter of Thanos, and the adoptive sister of Nebula, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian, Ebony Maw, and Proxima Midnight.

## Personality

Gamora is stoic, distant, honourable, easily irritated, aggressive,
and ruthless, but also caring, protective, supportive and motherly.

Initially, Gamora is cold and harden due to her father's poor
treatment of herself and her sister, Nebula. Most of her life, Gamora was turned into a weapon into her father. After learning what the orb contained, Gamora does care what will happen if Ronan gets the stone that he will destroy Xandar and kill many innocent people.

After living among enemies for years, she would be glad to die beside friends. Gamora makes it obvious that unlike her father, she seeks redemption for her past mistakes.

However, while keeping on a stoic demeanor, Gamora is actually
caring and kind to her friends whom she considers family. She has a
conflict in herself for her feelings for Peter, and even defended Rocket
 when her sister, Nebula, continued to call him a fox. Gamora is very
protective of her friends; even though she initially tells Peter to gain
 his father's love and respect, but learning Ego's true colors, Gamora
later wants to protect Peter from his biological father.

Because of her past crimes, Gamora wants to redeem herself and restrains
 from killing. It is shown Gamora tries not to kill, as she only
restrained the men that tried to kill them and also merely knock out the
 Guards rather than killing them when she was escaping. Also, she never
intended to kill Peter when stealing the orb from him, but only did it
if it was necessary.

Gamora was also shown to be easily irritated by Drax the
Destroyer. However, she has shown that she now has some patience for his
 antics. While a changed woman, Gamora has in fact, several aggressive
sides on her part. Gamora threatened to break Mantis' jaw if she touched
 her to hide her attraction to Peter Quill.

Gamora also has complicated feelings for Peter. When they first
met, Gamora was hesitant to kill him, but only did it out of reluctance
when Peter put up a fight. While she is ignorant to Peter's lingo,
Gamora is shown to be sympathetic to Quill after Yondu dies and consoles
 him during the funeral. However, she is nonetheless attracted to and
protective of Peter and might even reciprocate feelings Quill feels for
her. She eventually did and they kicked up their relationship to the
next level and Gamora was more open about their relationship in the
future. Before she died at her father's hands, Gamora told Quill that
he was the thing she loved more than anything in the world.

## Physical Appearance

## *Guardians of the Galaxy*

Gamora was on the spaceship when Ronan the Accuser was told by Korath the Pursuer that the orb was taken by a Ravager and Yondu's adoptive son, a thief who went by the name "Star-Lord" Her actions led her to be under arrest by Nova Corps. When they were at the Kyln, Peter Quill saved her life from a group of criminals who wanted to kill her. She informed Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon about her four million units deal with the Collector. They swore to split it into four ways. They were able to escape on the Kyln. During their time on Knowhere, Gamora tells Peter of her life with Thanos and Quill tells her about his life on Earth.

Throughout the film, Gamora and Quill grow close with one another. During the battle of Xandar, Gamora yelled for Peter to take her hand while he was being ripped apart. Her, along with the rest of the Guardians came in to their defense and they defeated Ronan the Accuser once and for all.

Gamora tries to persuade Peter to not give Udonta the stone, but unknown to her and Yondu, Peter switched the orbs and gave his foster father the one containing the troll toy. When Udonta leaves, Peter shows her that he indeed switched them out and kept the real orb, much to Gamora's amusement. She points out that Yondu was going to kill him, but Peter tells her that he was the only known family that he ever had. However, Gamora tells him that Yondu is not the only family he's got. The team later grieves for the loss of Groot while others celebrate.

Gamora was with Peter when he learned that he was half-human and half-alien, which presents with her saying that's why he held the power stone as long as he did.

Gamora states they will follow his lead, and calls him by his alias. Peter claims they'll do "a bit of both."
