A world of jungle, and only jungle — great canopies block sunlight from completely filing onto the mossy forest floor with beautiful yet dangerous wildlife around every nook and cranny. At some points the canopy breaks away to reveal the sky and great mountainous hills and cliffs, and it seems no matter where you are, if you can somehow look above the tips of the tall tress' branches, you'll always have a view of the ginormous Tree of Life that sits in the center of the entire jungle.

A great jungle littered with rivers, creeks, and waterfalls. Everything is central to one area, The Tree of Life, and more than likely begins there. Most of the jungle is relatively dark even in broad daylight, but in some areas sunlight will filter through the not-as-thick canopy to brighten the jungle floor with a golden hue. There is nature everywhere, including plantlife and animals that don't seem to be native to earth. One must be very careful while traversing the jungle, since if they do otherwise, they might be putting their life on the line. 1 2 TREE

There's a greenhouse somewhere in Gaea's world, and in that greenhouse are plants galore. The more you walk, the more surrounded you seem to feel. You walk and walk and walk, feeling entranced, until eventually the vines around you begin to form a tunnel surrounded by darkness and, if you continue to walk, a "light at the end of the tunnel." Once you approach this light and are swallowed by it, you're given life in her world.

Each being entering into her dream world has to go through what feels like a generally long process. Upon entrance, the person or thing is given "birth" as a seed in the Tree of Life. The seed is then put into the hands of the fairies that reside inside the tree — they take it to the most central area of the tree as they await for the seed to mature. However, this time is not wasted; while being carried to their new cradle, each seed receives flashbacks of the beginning of the forest, of the birth of every speck of life in the jungle. They watch the beginning of all beings in the dream world and, very slowly, everything begins to die. By now the seed is placed in soil in the middle of the Tree of Life, which has a small fountain of water trickling beside it like a mini river, adding nourishment. While the death of many litters their being, the seed slowly grows into that of a small tree itself. The more life it goes through, the more life it receives. But eventually, they begin to watch as the Tree of Life itself dies out, leaving a desolated forest of dead trees and animals in its wake — and as this happens, the seed's tree wilts and dies. Finally, once the images are over, the tree's bark peels away to reveal the huddled body of that who is visiting. The fairies drug them with their magic, assuring they won't wake up, and transport them to a random part of the forest before magically snapping them out of it. Usually they don't remember anything about the visions of life & death in the forest, but are emotional, confused, and exhausted. The fairies are usually nice enough the leave them somewhere where they can eat, drink, and feel generally safe.

The fairies of the forest are usually reclusive, but to those they trust, are admirable company. Once they get comfortable around you, they tend to be very talkative and even prone to gossip. Your best bet for getting them to like you is to give them some form of present — but if you don't follow suit with most (if not all) of the other fairies, some will think you're choosing favorites and stick their nose in the air whenever you're around. Also in the jungle are many animals, including those that are native to our world of earth. But there's also some others that are noticeably alien — including unicorns, pegasi, manticores, chimeras, griffins, hippogriffs, hippocampi, perytons, basilisks, banshees, minotaurs, trolls, goblins, and even a dragon or two if you're (un)lucky enough. There are others, too, but those are some of the most popular — and dangerous. Each reacts differently to being approached. Players would also be able to take the form of some of the more humanoid species, like nagas, sirens, satyrs, nymphs, harpies, elves, dwarves, brownies, centaurs, and maybe even a fairy themself if they fit the bill (usually this should all be determined by your character's personality, so note that each of these is rare in their own ways).

Anthea lived the majority of her life afraid and quietly controlled, as her parents were both rich and extremely bossy. They taught her that everyone was dangerous besides them and her other family, that she must never be alone, and that friends were a nuisance. As Anthea went through school, she received amazing grades to the point of where she actually graduated high school a couple years early. Most of her highest and most noticeable grades were in the sciences (specifically biology), but her parents disapproved. She was a woman, so she was destined to live the life of a housewife and mother and that was all, according to them. But she hated this mentality. They refused to pay for her college education, so through many scholarships and a little bit of financial aide, Anthea was able to crawl by and receive and education in what she loved best. After becoming a certified botanist, she left her home in the southern U.S. and moved to San Diego, California, where she could open her own flower shop and divulge in whatever she wanted — including comic books, video games, social media, and even a few friends. Very few.
