PERSONALITY: The firstborn of Lauda Cavataio, a child born when the young Witch was barely in her twenties. Pressed with the role of a mother she wasn't quite ready for, it was more than just plain luck that Gemma became the woman she would be. Strong, confidant, hungry for knowledge much like her mother, Gemma understood things early on and progressed quite well just like her mother did at her age. Though her genetic make up makes her a combination of both parents, she is her own person between them and among all the Cavataio among which she grew up with.
Just in her thinking and quick on feet, Gemma is her mother's prodigy without question. Her connection with the Force manifested quickly and progressed in a steady and strong pace while her Witch training took its natural course. In a lot of ways, she is the better and younger version of her own mother though in a lot of ways, she is unique to her own self. Gemma understands the difference between her and her other siblings, she's fully aware that she is her mother's heiress though it's something that she'd grown up with, what makes her ambitious and eager to learn more in order to never disappoint her elders. She believes in pushing herself over the limits to achieve greater things.
Much like her mother, Gemma is fiercely loyal to her parents and family, protective of those around her. Though she doesn't understand her siblings most times, she would still protect them without hesitation.
RANDOM FACTS: TBA
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
(+) Centurion-Cavataion: Gemma was born with the blood of two powerful an ancient families within her, with a natural affinity for strength, darkness and power.
(+) Dathomirian genetics: Born and raised on Dathomir, a Cavataio to boost, Gemma has longetivity in her DNA. Witches in general live for centuries, and her Nona Petra has surpassed them all. Additionally, Dathomir's rotation is slower, allowing her to age much slower than a lot of humanoids in the galaxy.
(+) Fighter: Gemma came into the world kicking and screaming, giving her mother hours of hours of horrifying pain, a fact she can thank her paternal bloodline. The Witch healer who assisted with the birth quickly determined a fighter was born that night, something Gemma has repeatedly proved throughout her life.
(+) Her mother's heir: Gemma inherited a lot of her mother's ambition and need to be perfect, always pushing her forward and make her an overachiever in anything she did, not just when it came to her powers.
(+) Force enhancement (second generation): Her mother was modified while still in the womb by her Master-level parents and while Gemma is a second generation, it has allowed her an additional boost when it comes to powers and spell.
(+) Languages: Paecean, Galactic Basic Standard, High Galactic, Hapan Language, Mando'a (intermediate), Ancient Sith, Bocce
(+) A range of other skills: swordship, hunting, marksmanship, strategy, dathomirian laws
(-) Driven to please: Ever since she was young, Gemma has wanted nothing more than to make her elders proud, her parents first and foremost. It drives her even harder than her ambition.
(-) Hard on others: Her own ambition and drive has made her hard on others, especially her younger siblings. She pushes others, believing that her own beliefs are right and failure isn't an option ever. This has caused a rift with some of her siblings, especially her sister Mira who believes life is more about pleasure than hard work.
(-) Speaks the Truth: Gemma speaks the truth no matter what, even if it hurts others. As a child, she was highly praised for this trait as a child, especially by her mother who believed that being honest and true would always benefit her. However, in time, she'd become more blunt about it, often saying things people don't want to hear.

HISTORY: Gemma Cavataio was never meant to survive her childbirth and if she'd been anyone else, she wouldn't have. Weeks before she was due, her mother fell at noon, struck by severe pain. Through the entire day, the healers were convinced something was terribly wrong with the child and she would not arrive breathing. Lauda remained in pain until the early hours of the next morning, screaming and twisting in pain. And in the end, when they were sure nothing could be done, Gemma arrived kicking and screaming, covered in blood. The healers realized right then and there and fighter was born. A fighter with skin darker than her mothers, with eyes silver and green, traits no Cavataio had until that morning, until Gemma was born.
She was four when her mother gave birth to the twins, Mira and Mirus, the result of a short fling with a slave. They were only her half siblings but Gemma didn't see the half. Family was family, and loyalty was until the day you died. It was also where her believe to protect her siblings came about. Despite her young age, she helped her mother as much as she could at that age.
At five, her Trial by Fire took place. It was at night, the comment passing through the sky, seemingly blessing the event. When she'd learned all her spells, her father arrived, witnessing her preform the test it self. In the years to come, Gemma devoted herself to the ways of the Witch, reading history, studying how to be a warriors, all the while practicing her powers and spells. Gemma understood early on she was her mother's heir in all things and had to live up to whom Lauda Cavataio was, despite her being Force enhanced while still in the womb. Gemma eventually came to believe that she was enough, she had the will, the power, the ambition and made sure she showed all that through all the years. She'd lived for several decades before they heard of what Petra was doing to the bloodline. It turned out Lauda had a provision in case that would happen, taking her off world, where Petra would not look for her. She told her that this was for her own good, unsure the outcome of the event. Serva had warned her long ago that this could happen and she prepared hybernation chambers for all her children. Gemma was the first to go into it, falling to rapid sleep, where she remained for centuries, unaware of what was going on in the galaxy... And then,
she awoken, the face of her mother welcoming her back into the galaxy. Except, once she regained her vision and returned her balance, she realized none of her siblings had been there with her, and so Ma'dri explained what had happened to their family...
