Gaia

Gaia, the goddess of the earth; she came into being after Chaos, alongside Sky. The two brought forth the mountains and the sea alongside many other felines that are a part of the Feline Pantheon. She is the closest with her son, the mountains, and often is depicted as a blind marble cat with trees and moss growing from her body.

The Foundation
"'Side by side with her lover, Gaia appeared in challenge to the darkness; strong and resilient to the darkness abound.'"In the vast nothingness, a spark of rebellion began to take hold as Chaos and his minions continued to build up their armies. The great dark being had not known the creation begs for creation, and while he continued his work two new beings formed together, side by side.

As Chaos is known to do, the two deities that rose were not whole. The Heavens above were too vast for their own good and the earth, in her gentleness was born without sight, her eyes unformed. Neither was created directly by the first God nor did they want to claim ties to him. Instead, they took his brooding form and pushed him back, beyond the heavens, beyond time, back as far as they both could dare. They did not hold back against the mischievous progeny of the shadowed god.

They did not declare war, but he was a creature of a solitude. The vast nothingness he had used to create his domain was his downfall, as both the Earth and Sky wanted a new world, a place made of solid ground and warmth that would allow for other children to come and play. They longed for a family, and as Gaia's fertile grounds continued to grow, it became obvious to the two felines that she was meant to be with children. She and Sky both were not meant to be creatures of darkness and terror. They would be the mothers, even though Sky was often too large to keep her priorities straight when raising up the new gods.

Gaia nursed many of the gods, allowing them to feast upon her lands and hunt through her pelt. When darkness became too much she created shelter for the younger gods. From her heart erupted the Mountains as Sky ignited her passions.

She is always present, and is considered by many to be the provider of heart, hearth, and home.

Worship
Gaia is seen as the provider and is often prayed to before and after a successful hunt by many felines that worship the Feline Pantheon. She is considered to be a goddess of heart, hearth, and home, and because of that, she is often thought to be a warm and caring spirit that should not be spurned. Most felines will gift her a part of their hunt in thanks or bury their prey within her soil to prove their devotion.

Most felines who are devoted to this feline above all others will request to be buried in their death so that they will be carried up to their earthen mother through the river Styx.
