Dellen

Dellen [de-len]
Water, Glass, Human Protection, Human Creation

❧ Played by Aviy
Appearance: Female and human, roughly in her 40's and too thin. She has pale skin and hair, but the coloring is just a little inhuman. The main color to her is a pair of incredibly deep blue eyes. She wears loose, off-white, Grecian-style clothing that makes her look both paler and smaller than she is. Her hair is often in disarray, and her overall appearance often appears untended.
Despite looking small, underfed, and wafty, when Dellen isn't having an episode, she has a very commanding and warm presence. There is, at all times, a surprising 'weight' about her that marks her unmistakably as divine.

Characteristics: Nurturing, monogamous, lesbian, obsessive, demanding, needy, devoted, nonfatal self sacrifice, yandere.

Likes: Faithful loving monogamous relationships, being understanding of her, sacrifice for the betterment of others, expressions of love (even twisted ones).

Dislikes: Death (human only), poly/orgies/unfaithfulness, material selfishness, rejection, lack of understanding, talking badly about humans, nature.
Shrine: Pale sandstone slab at ground level, behind it is a stack of precarious sandstone making a narrow pillar. On top of the pillar is a large bowl (but with cracks instead of bubbles) filled with crystal clear water.

Ritual: Stand on the slab and place your (CLEAN) hands in the bowl to get her attention. Once the agreement is made, place your sacrifice on the slab and sprinkle some water from the bowl onto it.

Before I came here, I had a... you know, I was going to say I had a condition, but since I'm talking to someone who claims to be a god on another planet: I'm a werewolf. Or, I was before I was killed. I need to know if I still have the curse.

[her breath catches in her throat, but then she pushes on] Then I need to know about the moon cycles here. Although I don't know how I'm meant to judge anything with three of them.

I need to know when the full moons are. What do you mean they don't cycle?

It's not a poison, per se.

... but I can't make that decision without knowing the price.

[more like won't, since. been there. done that sort of thing]

[... might take a long while but doable]

This would just remove the cause, is that right?

I turn into a monster. It's manageable, it should be safe if I get a cage to transform in, but I need to know when I'll need it. I should be able to feel it coming in the day or so leading up to it, but I'm not going to rely on that when the consequences for getting it wrong are...

I'll lock myself up every night if I have to, but if there's any way to predict it in advance...

I suppose it's worth a try. What do I have to give you for it?

[takes it and wears it immediately] I'll take the kindnesses, thanks. Do people really sacrifice animals to you?
