Child of Gaea (3006 words)
To understand this lesson, Gaea taught to her children the secret of crafting life and encouraged them to use their power to fashion their own beings to populate the world in their likeness, thus were born the mortal races of Aquilar.
But Gaea was wiser than he and unknown to him, secreted the orbs away to Aquilar and used her powers to prevent any celestial from descending upon its surface.
Gaea could not battle the combined might of the three celestials herself and commissioned the other celestials to do battle in her stead and protect the orbs from being found.
Gaea Violetta de Rossi (496 words)
Gaea was born into a noble Venetian family during the late Italian Renaissance.
While Gaea's interests are unconventional for a woman in the 1600s (it wasn't even that common for men!), she still assumes the traditional role of elder daughter of a wealthy family.
Gaea is a devout Catholic, although she does not see why scientific progress should interfere with religion.
