Gaia

**Gaia** is one of the Twelve Divine Pillars. It is said that she existed before other gods were formed and the second oldest among the pillars just after Alpha=Omega.

## Appearance

Gaia took form of a young woman with pink hair, pale skin and noticeably large breasts. It is mentioned that large breasts means high reproductivity in magic language which suited her role as the mother goddess.

She wears a long white dress with white veil. This is because she envied other people of being able to marry someone they love while her job is only giving birth and death without actually experiencing love.

Gaia's appearance
## Personality

Due to the mother goddess' role of giving birth and seeing her children depart from the world. She believes that life and death was a rule that can never be violated and anyone who dared to cause harm to this rule should be meet with the most horrible fate.

Gaia is a strict mother. She believes that as the mother of all, it is her duty to teach all of her children how to become a decent being. And she became disbelief when seeing many of her children turned out to become evil in her eyes, some even tried to break the cycle of life and death. Still, she wished for a world of absolute harmony where everyone can live together in peace and die, albeit to an extreme case. Lysander believed that her ideal world is the world where human and other intelligent beings were nothing but cattles, eating grass without knowning anything about the dangers of wolves. He believed that such a world is not pleasant to live in.

This seems to be true as Gaia still holds herself as a being above all mortals. In other words, she want to take care of mortals like how mortals take care of their pets.

## Background

Gaia was created by the tears of mortals, being killed by hunger from the Takeover. She vowed to create a world suitable for mortals to live and birth most of the beings currently walked on the planet.

Sometimes ago, she tried to teach mortals about decency and morality investing lots of power into the project but she failed. This leaves her with much less power compared to when she was born as a god. The system of the Saintess becoming her proxy in the Vatican was to ensure she still had some kind of presence when she isolated herself to recover.

## Abilities

As one of the Twelve Pillars, Gaia is one of the most powerful beings in the world. It is said that she has the power to stop even beings above the sky. While the Transcendent might be capable of killing her but they all have their trick to become powerful and has to rely on those tricks. Gaia, however, is a god and thus, is powerful without any tricks.

### Potnia Theron

**Potnia Theron (EX):** is a Skill that gives the user the Authority of the Earth Mother Goddess, a "*Great Authority on the level of nation building*". It is the embodiment of the power of creation possessed by the mother goddesses, originating from a forgotten goddess approximately 8000 years ago (the goddess of Çatalhöyük), and branching to Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Ashtart, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc. The Earth Mother is a guardian deity revered by the people and their protector, and at the same time, she is the sacrifice that feeds them with the crops born from her body and the beasts of the fields and the forests. The goddess's true nature is the cycle of life and death, the circle of the food chain where she feeds man with her blood and flesh, kills man over time and absorbs him as nutrition, and once again feeds man with her replenished blood and flesh. This Authority is none other than the power of bringing death as well as giving life. This Authority over the power of bringing death and giving life, symbolized by holes opening in the earth and the sky (caves and the moon), the whirlpools and typhoons of the sea, the craters of volcanoes, and so on, first births evils that brings forth all manners of death. Once the evils are finished spreading death, they leave the promise of good harvest and fertility. With this Authority, most of the goddesses either gave birth to countless monsters and giants and posed a threat to the gods and man, or they gave birth to heroes and became protectors of man.

Gaia is capable of using this authority to manipulate time by manipulating the cycle of life and death. She can send the consciousness of someone into the past. However, this caused her a lot of power.

It seems that most types of healing pray rites come from this authority.
