Gaia

Gaia is a recurring character in the fourth and fifth seasons. She is portrayed by Tati Gabrielle and debuts in Echoes.

Gaia is Indra's estranged daughter, who became a Keeper of the Flame.

Early Life
Gaia was born on Earth and is the daughter of Indra. Indra trained her to be a Trikru warrior and leader, but then Gaia chose to dedicate herself to the sacred flame and become a scout for the Flamekeeper, searching the land for nightbloods.

Throughout the Series
In Echoes, Gaia is in the crowd when Roan announces that he will be the Keeper of the Flame until the next Commander can be found. She yells at him that he is not a priest and that this is blasphemy.

In The Four Horsemen, Roan asks Octavia to track down and kill the person who stole the Flame from him. Octavia tracks down Gaia and corners her in the temple. The two briefly fight, until Octavia gets the upper hand. Just before Octavia goes for the kill, Indra calls for Octavia to stop. When, Ilian and the looters come to the temple seeking to destroy the Flame. Octavia and Gaia come up with a place to save the flame.

In God Complex, she told Thelonious Jaha, Marcus Kane, and Monty Green of Becca's crypt and helped them enter.

In DNR, she tries to help Clarke Griffin ascend as the next Commander, however, Roan stops it.

In Die All, Die Merrily, she helps with the Final Conclave, giving orders on how to participate and giving the noviciates their sigil. She also announces the names of those killed.

In Praimfaya, she is seen in the bunker, when Octavia gives her speech.

Personality
Gaia is very devoted to the Grounder faith. She chooses to follow her faith instead of becoming a warrior like her mother, Indra. Later, she risks her life by stealing the Flame because she believes it is blasphemy for someone who is not an ouspika (priest) to be the Keeper of the Flame.

Physical Appearance
Gaia is of average height with brown skin and brown eyes. Her braided hair is dark brown with blonde highlights.

In Season 5, after the 6 years and 7 days jump, Gaia's hair is white and shorter.

Relationships
Indra is Gaia's mother. Their relationship has been strained since Gaia has chosen to follow their faith instead of becoming a Trikru warrior and leader.

Notes and Trivia

 * In Die All, Die Merrily, Gaia hugs her mother, Indra, when she announces that the Trikru champion, Fio, had been slain by Roan.
 * She was originally meant to have a bigger role in Echoes, but her biggest scene was cut. In the scene, she was riding a horse when she came across Ilian in a forest (who had already killed his brother in the original episode's opening). They conversed about A.L.I.E.'s chip, his family being dead, and them being wrapped like a mummy.
 * Gaia, Ethan Hardy, and Madi are the only three characters that were introduced in Season Four who are known to be still alive.
