The Many Faces of Gara

Gara is approximately six-thousand years old. She is also human. Or she was born so. She was a member of the Dai Tribe, and she joined the Gohma willingly. For it is only willingly that one can become a Gohma. She was vicious and cruel. She knew one thing better than anyone at all. And that was how to use people's vanity against them. She knew just how deep in every person vanity ran. For when she was only ten years old, she and her best friend were walking along together by the wall people were building. There was an accident and huge blocks came tumbling down. Gara shielded her friend with her own body, but besides hearty bruises her face was scarred by a great slash. Mortified, she refused to play with other children, and perhaps they refused to play with her, too. And then her best friend disappeared. Gara never saw her again, at least until they were both adults. Until after she had become a Gohma and started helping in the subjagation of her former people.

And then came Kujaku, the woman who had been the girl Gara was scarred trying to protect. Astoundingly beautiful, alive with power and aligned with the Peacock God. She made it her personal mission to stop Gara, but Gara tricked her, using her vanity and trapping her within a Mirror-Gohma. It pleased her no end that when Kujaku finally was freed, it was to a world so badly polluted, she could not survive. The power of the Gohma, the fact that she had already died to become one, protected Gara. But not her enemy.

And yet, there were many things she did not know, and one of them was that she was indeed dead, and her body was only a puppet grown from Shaddam's memory of her. Her soul had long ago winged its way to heaven on the strength of Kujaku's prayers.
