Tea Gora (or simply Tea) is a character featured in the Disney animated series Gargoyles.

Background[]

Tea Gora served as a student of Fara Maku whom she fell in love with in a plan to live in the city of Abuja. However, Fara Maku refused and therefore made a pact with the spider Anansi to make him a werepanther and when Fara Maku became one, he placed the Mark of the Panther upon Tea, which angered her and every time she lost her temper, it transformed her into a werepanther, making it difficult for her to adjust in the city as a panther. As the result came into a negative effect, Tea turns into a panther whenever she loses her temper.

When she returned to the jungle to find the panther responsible for this, she led a group of poachers to kill every single panther in Nigeria until she realized that Fara Maku was the one responsible for the werepanther effect and attempted to hunt him down, until the two arrived at Kara Digi and realized what Anansi did to them. With the help of the Manhattan Clan, they were able to defeat the spider. With Anansi defeated, Tea then realized that she must make amends for the panthers she had helped hunt when she suddenly became a protector for Nigeria, albeit still a werepanther.

Role in the series[]

In "Mark of the Panther", Tea is seen walking alongside a group of poachers strolling across the jungles of Nigeria, planning to hunt every panther she finds across the jungle. Tea then arrives at a village where Diane Maza is telling a story about the Panther Queen much to Fara Maku warning her about what she would do with the panther in its cage. Soon as Tea attempts to kill the panther in its cage, Fara Maku then transforms into a werepanther and attempts to ward off Tea in revenge to which during a battle, Elisa Maza attempted to stop Tea from killing Fara Maku in his panther form trying to stop Tea and her group of poachers from attacking him. As soon as Fara Maku escapes, Tea and her hunting group attempt to chase after him only for the Manhattan Clan to foil the poachers and throw them into a cage where the ceremonial panther was at (also freeing the panther) while Tea continues chasing Fara Maku across a canyon.

Arriving at a canyon, Tea attempted to kill Fara Maku telling him that she used to love him but feared that he betrayed her only for Goliath to counter her attack to prevent her from killing Fara Maku only for Tea to transform into a werepanther in a fit of rage, which Goliath drops her into a river just as she continues to chase Fara Maku into the ruins of Kara Digi. Goliath asks Tea about the reason why she is hunting Fara Maku, which Tea then recaps of the reason she was hunting him all along during her life at the city of Abuja where she had a hard time adjusting into the city ever since the negative effect of the Mark of the Panther, which led Tea to chase after Fara Maku in panther form while the latter recaps of his relationship with Tea in this moment when he made a pact with Anansi. Diane tries to figure out who placed the Mark of the Panther which Anansi appears and tells her that he was the one who did it.

Anansi then recaps that Fara Maku believed in the legends and seeked him so that he could bargain with him to change both Tea Gora and Fara Maku into panthers. Tea Gora then confronts Anansi as she revealed that he put the curse on her and Fara Maku. During the battle after Fara Maku gets caught in spiderweb in his panther form, Tea attempted to rescue him only to be countered. The Manhattan Clan worked together to defeat him by cutting the spiderweb, causing Anansi to fall into the ground, following by Goliath impaling Anansi with a spear given by Diane. With Anansi defeated, Tea then makes amends with Fara Maku, getting along with each other serving as protectors of the jungles of Nigeria, just as the two were able to get along in despair.
