Name:
GAIA -Neo Pantheon-
SAKURA-KOI-UTA - Melty Blood: Actress Again
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Specie: God
Physical Description: A cyan humanoid with flowing white hair (with violet highlights in front and a fiery-colored ponytail in the back). Sleeves of water drape down from her forearms. Her legs are tapered at places. Rocky crag forms around her neck and her waist, a hot core visible between the cracks. Her lower body is draped by a violet skirt with fiery-orange veins and a white underskirt with a flower emblem in the front.
Personality: Typically a stoic, but motherly, individual. She's as wistful as the wind, as dynamic as flowing water, as passionate as a blaze, and as firm and resolute as stone. She only ever blows a fuse with other beings of her calibur, and only if they manage to get on her nerves.
History: Mother Nature herself, she is a goddess that embodies the natural elements of Earth. After an arduous battle with her brother Lucifer, she knew that his anger would seep into the Midrealm in the form of soul-eating monsters, the Teraskar. To counter this, she opened her own gift to capable humans, giving them the necessary power to combat these monsters and to right other wrongs fairly. At one time, she wed with one such Zoiskar, Ouranos, only to be betrayed by him later. It's said she was sealed off from Midrealm for a long time. Who knows where she might be now...?
Equipment: N/A
Abilities: A master of occults, but she herself prefers those of Wind, Music, Water, Moon, Fire, Sun, Earth, and Nature elements. Generating certain nodes that orbit her can further empower her godly traits.
Other: Being an embodiment of natural elements, she is fairly susceptible to powerful toxins, but still only fairly. Any powers on the level of occults can break her power nodes, reducing her passive protection.

Trivia
- Her alias, Ingrid, is a name meaning "Ing's beauty". Ing is a Norse goddess of earth's fertility.
- Gaia's body is composed of the four natural elements - earth (the rocks studding her torso and forehead), fire (her ponytail and the orange glow inside her), water (her "sleeves" and sidebangs), and wind (the wisps from her hair and her tapered legs).
- Dust Blade's properties act like the basic Dust attacks in Guilty Gear, which inflict launch on the ground or knockdown in the air.
- Claw of Mars is named so because the planet Mars is often related with the element of fire (due to its red color), and the attack's flame trail is shaped like the symbol of Aries (Greek counterpart of Mars).
- Fusion Guard is named after nuclear fusion, a process that merges elements into greater elements and energy. This very process happens within the sun.
- The Monolith is indeed reference to the iconic monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
