Gaia (Terra)

Gaia (or Gaea, depending on who's spellchecking)

Mother Earth, Mama, Terra, Mother, Mommy, G-Force

Female

I'm the earth. You live on me.

Goddess of the Earth, Being a Mother

The universe taught me everything I know. But I also like to freshen up my knowledge at the Geographical Association's annual conference. The wine and cheese events are to die for.

"Politics" is the invention of lesser beings, most of whom are terrified of me.

Chaos (pretty sweet parent, eh?)

Tartarus, Aither, and Eros (Well, we came into being at the same time anyway)

All of humanity (yeah, that means you)
Ouranos, Ourea, Pontus, Okeanos, Koios, Krios, Hyperion, Iapetos, Kronos, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Tethys, Phoibe, The Kyklopes, the Hekatonkheires, Erinyes, Gigantes, Meliai, Python, Kouretes
And, indirectly, everybody else on earth

I don't need "friends" – I'm the goddess of the earth

Yeah, right. (Well, maybe Orion, but come on – no hard feelings.)

I was married to my son, Ouranos, the sky, but then I had him castrated. Do. Not. Mess. With. Me.

Nobody, thanks. I can't seem to stop giving birth, whether I'm with anyone or not.
