Tare [tair]
Romance, Courtship, Zephyr

❧ Played by Niyx

Appearance: Medium height and light of build, Tare is a very graceful being – though whether one sees hir as a god or a goddess is entirely to their own decisions. Appearing in the late teens to early twenties, xe is highly androgynous with hir basic form a slender youth with short, dark brown hair and dark eyes. Xe wears a light colored, loose sweater with a wide neck which leaves one of hir shoulders bare, and comfortable capri style pants in an light tan. Hir shoes are comfortable sandals with a slight heel, and xe wears woven hemp for bracelets and a necklace with a small, gold charm.

Tare has a tendency to only appear as a breath of wind or movement of air when xe doesn't feel like showing hir face or when xe dislikes someone. Xe will never not appear at all when called though.

Characteristics: Elusive, gentle, capricious, emotional, voyeuristic, polyamorous, easily miffed, passive aggressive, ingenuous.

Likes: Watching people, positive emotional connections and responses, happy endings, fresh scents, freedom of movement.

Dislikes: Prostitution, marriages of convenience, emotionless or cold people, unclean things, stagnant air, entrapments.

Shrine: A wisteria vine grows in the corner of the room with a delicate wind chime suspended within it. A simple metal hoop with four twisted glass bars hanging in the center of it.

Ritual: Blow softly across the chimes to call hir. Xe may or may not appear physically, but if xe is present and listening, the chimes will continue to ring softly as though caught in a gentle breeze.

[touches hir lips gazing at the windows]

... Was anything left inside?

[shakes his head] I didn't go very far into it - animals and plants grew in places that made things hard to reach. The others who organized the trip would know more.

... I wonder whose it was...

[almost to hirself though.

It must have had other people, once... and maybe other gods?

Other people, certainly. Other gods... [shrugs]

[gives hir a side-look]

Or other shrines for the same gods. I imagine things weren't so different from my world, when it comes to worship... there was always more than one place to do so.

I guess we'll try to find what we can the next time we go back.

... Would you call for me when you're there?

Do you mean, if I find your shrine there?

You can call me even without it if I know to be listening.

...All right. I'll do it, next time I'm there.

Thank you. What did you think of it?

Eerie, I guess. Like seeing what could have been.
