## Appearance

Gea is a fair-skinned young woman with wavy black and green hair and yellow eyes. Her Faunus trait is a pair of black cat ears on top of her head which are also green at the top.

## Original Outfit (Volumes 1-3)

During her attendance at Beacon, she wears a green, buttoned coat with a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a black, sleeveless, v-necked, crop undershirt and black shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo of the real-life Japanese zipper manufacturer.

She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color graduation of black to green. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in faded green. On her left arm is a green detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair. She often keeps her weapon attached to the magnetic backpack when she is not using it.

A black ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head, with her cat ears hidden inside the loops.

## Alternate Outfit (Surprise)

During the events of "Black and White", "A Minor Hiccup", and "Painting the Town...", Gea wears an alternate outfit code named "Surprise".

This outfit consists of a green, asymmetrical, zip-up crop shirt with a black hem and three-quarter sleeves. Her emblem is printed in off-green on the left side of the shirt. She wears black pants that have a vertical green stripe on the outer side of each leg and a silver belt.

Attached to the rear of the belt is a black piece of fabric that covers her from hip to hip. Underneath this is a longer, translucent, green piece of fabric. She also wears black low-heel boots with two straps and buckles and green under roles, reaching to mid-calf. She retains the black ribbons on her forearms and her black bow.

## Dance

During the Beacon Dance, Gea wears a short, green to black ombre, halter neck with three complex straps connecting at the back. The yoke of the dress is translucent mesh and she also wears black pumps. She wears her hair in a pony tail for the occasion and she wears a green bow opposed to the black one she normally wears.

## Beacon Uniform

During her attendance at Beacon, Gea wears the same brown shoes, red tartan skirt, white blouse with maroon trim and thin red bow, a brown vest with gold buttons and a maroon blazer with gold trim as every other girl attending Beacon Academy, alongside knee-high black socks. She sometimes ditches the skirt and just wears black pants.

## Post-Timeskip Outfit (Volumes 4-7)

After the timeskip following the Fall of Beacon, her design features a v-neck green crop top, as well as a belt attached from behind. The crop top has rectangular and diamond-shaped cutouts around the neckline, which have darker green outlines beginning in Volume 6. There are two straps that go criss-cross across her stomach. Additionally, she wears a silver belt over black fitted pants. After the confrontation with Cinder in "End of the Beginning", Gea has been left with an X-shaped scar almost directly in the center of her chest.

Across her torso is a diagonal strap that has a smaller magnetic clip on the back, which is used to sheathe Mercy and Envy. She wears thigh-high black heeled boots with silver-colored edging around the top. The left boot has a belt wrapped twice around the thigh. Each boot bears her Belladonna emblem in green on the outer side of the thigh, and a silver pouch is attached to the back of her belt. She has the same chain from the fall of Beacon.

From Volume 4 onward, Gea's cat ears have a tendency to fold down or otherwise move in sync with her emotional state, much like the ears of an actual cat.

## Atlas Outfit (Volume 7-Current)

After arriving in Atlas and meeting with James Ironwood, Gea now has two small braids that connect in the back in her hair. She changes her attire to a green sleeveless catsuit with attached boots that has light green soles and trim. The catsuit has a v-neck with a single short silver zipper alongside matching zippers that run from her thighs to her ankles on the front of the legs. A pair of kneepads, matching color to the catsuit with silver studs on them are attached to the knees of the catsuit. She admitted to adding random holes to the pants to difference her outfit from Blake's.

Her long, black tailcoat has desaturated green detailing on the chest, sleeves, sides and collar alongside a light green detailing on the back. It has a narrow belt around the collar and a wide white belt loosely secured around her waist through the coat's belt loops. The belt has two pouches attached to the back. The coattails end rounded and the inside lining is light green. The front zipper of the coat is upside down and extends to the very bottom of the coat, and there are additional zippers along the lower half of the sleeves with a single green line running between the zipper and her shoulders. Around each wrist is a light green belted wristband and has a desaturated green magnetic backpack on her back. She still has her silver chain from the first volume, yet the purpose it still to be discovered.

## Personality

Gea displays an optimistic, energetic, and open-minded personality most of the time, but sometimes she loses control of her emotions and says something she doesn't mean. Gea is a righteous person, much like her sister, respecting people's lives regardless of who they are. She tries not to assume things based off one bad interaction with a person. Despite her normally upbeat demeanor, she can be very gloomy when she feels she has caused harm to the future of anybody or anything. She is also described as the embodiment of Mercy by her sister, Blake.

Gea is presented to be more of an extrovert. She goes out of her way to talk to people she doesn't know and enjoys making friends along the many perilous journeys her and her friends take. She is shown doing this multiple times during the Vital Festival because people from all around Remnant are there.

As a Faunus, Gea has faced discrimination in the past and wears a bow when she's around Humans. She tells Roman in "No Brakes" that she doesn't wear the bow to make people to forget who she is, but so they remember her. She has never shown any hate or distrust to any humans through any of the episodes even though she's had to go through so many years of hate and pain. After the Fall of Beacon, Gea discards her bow and decides not to cover her ears anymore because she learned that she didn't need a bow for people to remember her.

Gea's Semblance seems to affect her attitude many times during the Vital Festival. Blake tells the team that it's because she's overusing her Semblance and is trying too hard to be able to use it well. During these times she became moody and she often lashed out on her teammates if they did something that she didn't want them to do. Her team was noticeably nervous around her during these times because her behavior was so different from how she normally acted. They blamed a lot of it on Mercury, her boyfriend at the time, because that's how he seemed to act to them. She grew apart from her teammates a lot during this time.

Gea also seemed to have a lot of suicidal problems during her time at Beacon. After her Semblance was revealed she felt as if she failed herself, and failed her purpose in life. Mercury had to drag her away from the top of the Comms Tower so she wouldn't jump off. She seemed to be going through a lot of despair at the time, claiming that Cinder was going to kill her and that, that wasn't how she wanted to die. During this scene in "Fall" Gea explains how she's not one to give into things like that and that everything happening was very new to her. Mercury ends up calming her down and then after that she pulls herself together and manages to return to normal.

Her Faunus traits also seem to give her other aspects of a cat, such as climbing up to Ruby's bed to stay away from Ruby and Yang's pet dog, Zwei. Another time, she is distracted by and instinctively decides to follow a laser pointer light to a waiting Yang in "Burning the Candle". She also has a great love for tuna, as shown in "Round One" where she drools over a bowl of noodles topped with tuna. She also is scared of Marrow at first in "Ace-Ops", you can tell because she jumps behind Ren. She later claims that she thought his tail was an actual dog, not a true part of him.

She is seen struggling with depression with her suicide attempts again in "Worst Case Scenario" when she's trying to lure Ren in to tell her that he didn't mean his kiss with Nora. During the Atlas Volumes, Gea takes many risks on her life, not caring what happens to her. She puts others before herself and that puts her in danger. The Ace-Ops even admit that they see that as a worthy and honorable trait. During these times she grows more apart from her sister and her team and grew closer to team JNPR.

## Powers and Abilities

Gea shows high agility, speed, and endurance, as shown when fighting multiple enemies yet maintaining motion and energy without fatigue. She also exhibits a high level of skill when handling Mercy and Envy. She can slash away at opponents with startling speed and deflect incoming machine-gun fire using her blade. She's also able to hit object with her staff as if it was a baseball bat.

Gea also possesses remarkable reflexes, as she is able to dodge many point-blank shots from Cinder without the use of a Semblance. She is also capable of jumping large distances, leaping from building to building and even on moving cars, as seen in "Painting the Town...". Her fighting style takes advantage of her agility and reflexes, evading opponents' strikes until she is in the best position for a counter-blow. She is also very good at hand to hand combat, being able to knock Neo unconscious without the help of Mercy or Envy.

As a Faunus, Gea possesses the ability of night vision, granting her the ability to see proficiently in the dark, as is shown after shooting out the power during the White Fang Faction Meeting, using the dark as a means for her, Blake, and Sun to escape from Roman Torchwick and the White Fang.

She is also able to do some tinkering as she was the one who added upgrades to her weapon in Atlas, not Pietro.

### Weapon

Gea's weapons of choice are Mercy and Envy, a staff that has four forms. When together, the staff is able to hit objects as if it were a baseball bat or hammer. However, when pulled apart, Gea is able to use two swords in tandem against her opponents. It can also transform into two scythes. Mercy and Envy were and later upgraded in Atlas. Using the black ribbon that extends off the weapon's grip, Gea can convert Mercy or Envy into a *kusarigama*, a grappling hook to swing herself or her friends, or ensnare or tangle her opponents. In "The Final Word", Mercy and Envy dissolve when they fall into the void after their owner.

### Semblance

Gea's Semblance Copycat is something that she takes a lot of pride in. Similar to the Semblance Photographic Memory she is able to copy down a Semblance in her mind and then preform it. There is no confirmed stopping point and it's assumed that she could learn any Semblance in the world if that's what she wanted to do. Her mind is very advanced and she is able to learn Semblances and preform them perfectly within only a few days of learning them. She is even said to be better at some Semblances then the owners of them. There is nothing that shows how far her Semblance has grown, or how many other one's she's learned, but she doesn't even use her Semblances that often. She uses them in her fights with Cinder and Salem and occasionally she'll use it when fighting a large population of Grimm, but that's about it.

When she uses her Semblance she often uses Kindred Link, Petal Burst, Burn, High Voltage,Aura Amp, Futuristic, Curiosity, and Strong Stomach.

### Weaknesses

Although Gea doesn't have any physical weaknesses, Mercy and Envy do in their *kusarigama* form. If she is using it to grapple and leap around, one can knock it out of its intentional trajectory to make her lose momentum or cut its ribbon and force Gea to fall whilst she is swinging.

Her main and almost only weakness is that she's too kind for her own good. She puts too much faith in people who aren't good people. She doesn't rat Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, or Neo out before the Fall of Beacon because she believes that they still have good inside them. She doesn't like hurting people and she only does it when it's absolutely necessary. She would rather try to convince them to join her side. She has had some success with this as Adam, Mercury, and Emerald are all good now, but she's also failed when she tried to show Cinder that there was more to life than power.

Cinder also knows that she cares about her family and friends more than herself, purposely leaving her to be the last one to fall into the void. During their fight she targeted Jaune so Gea would worry more about protecting him than protecting herself.
