4.0

i really hated gaia at the beginning, when she would do whatever she was asked and gave in to every man. i then also thought she was really stupid for believing she was in love with a man she 'met' once. then i thought she was even more stupid for giving up her voice and putting her life on the line for this man she doesnt actually know. but the towards the end when she found eleanor in the room of paintings and eleanor spoke of just how badly oliver behaves, causing gaia to pay more attention, i started to love gaia so much. she became strong very quickly and i loved the way she

scared and killed her father
