A Science Fiction Trilogy by [[John Varley]] describing humanity's encounter with a planet sized alien, and the indigenous aliens that live upon it.
 
Line 10:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: {{spoiler|Gaea}}, at least until the last book.
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Gaea manifests as a plump, homely, slightly dotty but cheery and friendly little old lady. {{spoiler|Until ''Demon''—when she switches to a [[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever|fifty-foot-tall replica]] of [[Marilyn Monroe]]—that is.}}
* [[Chubby Chaser]]: "Fat Fred," at least by angel standards.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Once at the end of the second book, when Cirocco {{spoiler|actually punches the incarnation of Gaea out}}. Again, at the end of the third book, when a team effort {{spoiler|manages to completely kill Gaea}}.
Line 29:
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Gaea does this in a half-assed fashion. Usually, it's [[Translator Microbes]] (Titanide song or blimp speech), but {{spoiler|April}} is [[Power Gives You Wings|transformed into a]] [[Our Angels Are Different|compulsively solitary angel]].
* [[Take Me to Your Leader]]
* [[Tsundere]]: {{spoiler|Chris and}} Robin's daughter Nova is a type A of [[Hey Arnold!|Helga Pataki]] caliber.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: The angels.
* [[Zero -G Spot]]: Right out of the starting gate in chapter 2 of the first book.
