Description
This character belongs to . Originally a Millennium character! Albeit she looked VERY different back.I kinda improved her color scheme so that she looks more like a tree that outright assumed a humanoid form. I ESPECIALLY like how the "hair" came out! And well...probably not QUITE as many flowers on her design.
-----------------------------------------
Lady Gaia, She Who Destroys the Destroyers
Towering more than 10 feet high, she is one of Queen Alicia's finest champions. One of various "Green Knights" who take up arms to protect nature in the stead of its many denizens.
In older times, she was a reclaimer of nature--one who spread seeds and spores to ruins and ravaged lands, to allow the flora to take back what is rightly theirs. Allowing life to trickle back into places torn apart by death and destruction. The worst she had done during those days was spread a bloom of moss all over a land filled with technological ruins--causing them to be completely unusable. Something she had done to deter people from desecrating the land in their attempt to salvage it. i.pinimg.com/originals/14/24/5…
---------------------------------------------
However...The name "She Who Destroys the Destroyers"? She had earned it, because it relates to the very first item she had actively destroyed, after being given new power by Queen Alicia herself.
www.artstation.com/artwork/zzA… To the Dwarves, this machine was simply a "Bipedal All-Purpose Agricultural Assistant Mech".
But to detractors...it was called The Destroyer of Nature. The purpose of this machine was to clear out forests, and to not only make room for planned development of a "factory farm"--but also to help construct it! The concept was simply far too enticing for Dwarvish engineering teams, as it held so much promise! It'd be a place to test out genetic engineering, to improve their livestock and crops! To provide food at a mass-produced rate! To make the economy boom with a rapid influx of new goods!
It could have been great! But...Gaia became angry. For a moment she DID consider killing these Dwarves for how they dared to carelessly wrap their hands around Queen Alicia's throat! Yet killing them would be an equally great blasphemy against Queen Alicia--a being who encourages the birth and growth of life! Unlike her Millennium counterpart, she had help in seeing the slippery slope before she jumped.
She remembered--she doesn't have to kill.
All she has to do is destroy.
---------------------------------------------------
This attack resulted in no deaths, but an incredible loss of money--their expensive equipment was not only taken apart piece by piece, but now so thoroughly ruined that it can no longer be salvaged or recycled. The companies involved in this enterprise had largely gone bankrupt, as now no one was willing to invest in an idea with such costly consequences! The individuals involved were only able to get back on their feet thanks to the timely intervention of the Gnomes, whose seemingly random innovations have little need for the exploitative extremes the Dwarves (unsuccessfully) dabbled with.
Many Dwarves had begun to respect the power of nature and its guardians--perhaps even foregoing progress to fall back into the caress of greener arms.
Many more have come to fear Lady Gaia. They call her "She Who Destroys the Destroyers"--who could destroy their entire CITY if they step out of line too brazenly.
However...others see her as just another old entity bent on infantilizing the people of Cauldron. Another roadblock on the road of tomorrow they must overcome.
--------------------------------------------------
For the record, Gaia at least hopes they're not in a hurry. She'd much rather shed her thorns and armor to bathe with her queen instead.
