Atea is an ancient Sura of Earth, born after Iweiru the Deva of Earth, and the older Suras of Earth, Qijen, Kodhai, and Andal. Atea is the Sura of strength and nature, and is the guardian of the natural world. Atea is revered by the druids as the Sura of the Land and Sky. Their connection to the earth is made possible by Atea's existence, and it was Atea that taught the druids how to make contact with the Atua of Earth that inhabit all living planets

Atea has a strong bong with Kodhai and Idaten, a relationship that humanoids would characterize as romantic

Atea's pure elemental form is an elongated octahedron, and her humanoid elemental form has a slender build and is covered in ever growing moss, sprinkled with blooming flowers. Atea's animal form is invariably the bear

When manifesting as a humanoid, Atea chooses to appear as a female Nahkoen. In this form, she has a heavy build, grey eyes, longer brown fur, and claws coated in bronze
