-What You Can’t See-

Personality: A very independent soul who isn't one to keep her opinions nor feelings bottled up inside. Gaia is very good with natural remedies (common sense of healing really) and isn't afraid to take action in a situation where action is needed. The young fae has lost a great deal of her self-image after being cruelly force-bred by a dark stag, and is constantly thinking lowly of herself.


History: She was born into a dark herd and while her mother was a vicious demoness her father was a neutral, unable to decide between his parents and his love. To make his decision easier Gaia's grandparents murdered Shadewind, her mother, while she was sleeping. Claiming it was a fellow herd-mate Lona and Valiant, Gaia's grandparents convinced her to come join their neutral herd. After doing so Gaia had terrible nightmares and often woke up startled and sweaty in her sleep. 

One particular night she overheard Lona telling Valiant of a plot to sell off their only family, her, as a slave for a dark lord. At the time she was so young that this had no true depth to it; but the ominous tone to her grandmother's voice was a good enough reason for her to leave. Seeing as she had nothing in the first place she felt no sadness in departing with the one place she had ever somewhat called home. The next day Gaia was gone off into the desert, a vast wasteland of nothingness. She began her nomadic journey, stopping every few days to catch up on much lost sleep and relax. In a mossy swamp area not far from a dense forest, Gaia met another nomad such as herself. His name was Dusty Moon.

The brute sheltered her from predators and provided for her in every way. Once again though she was stuck with an unbearable fate. In the middle of the night she awoke to find Dusty Moon caging her to a tree with his body. That night he impregnated the young mare before falling into an exhausted slumber. He must've figured that Gaia would be too fatigued to leave with his child now inside of her, but she did anyway. Now not only did she have to fight for survival but she must run from Dusty Moon as-well. He was sure to want that foal she was to deliver in the spring. 

Gaia had contemplated going back to find her father, but knew the task to be impossible considering the miles and miles away it was. So she set out again to find yet another herd. With the foal on it's way and Dusty Moon on her trail, Gaia prayed to the gods that this new place she'd found would be the deliverance she had been waiting for. 

Though for a brief time she found haven in the herd of a stallion called Ihsan, it was not long before her nemesis caught up to her. It was only hours after the birth of her foal and she was returning home from the foaling lands, when the stallion who had told her his name was Dusty Moon found her. Though she tried to stop him, the birthing had weakened her too much and she was no match for him as he took her baby away. For months thereafter, she wandered alone, completely distraught by the loss of her child. It was several months later before she saw Avani; while wandering the free lands, she came across her baby, along with the beast who had taken her away. All Gaia wanted was to see her daughter, to touch her, but even that was denied her by the villain, who sent Avani back to his home while he dealt with the distraught mother.

Denied any opportunity to so much as see her own daughter, Gaia had returned to her lonely wanderings. During this time, she wandered into the land of the Neutral Royals. It was here she met and was befriended by the Neutral Queen, Audrey, as well as another mare living there, Aiyoka. They did much to help cheer the Teke mare, offering hope that someday she might just get her daughter back. Even more miraculous, she had a reunion with her mother, Shadewind -- whom her grandparents had tried to murder and obviously failed -- in Tremala Woods.  Before long, however, tragedy struck when the Helkaer raided the Neutral Royal's home.  As far as she knows, the entire family was slaughtered.  She escaped harm through the intervention of her fierce mother and, when it was all over and she had done what she could for the slain, she left.  Still trying to find some way of being reunited with her daughter, a chance acquaintance has lead to a home, at least.
