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.

[appears =x]

Yes, Note?

[Actually seems slightly startled that she showed up, though she has responded every other time when he had offerings to make and so on...]

Ah.. My apologies, I haven't brought an offering...

Yet you called for me.

[Nods...]

My.. ["lover" is too simple--] Reason, is here. The gods brought my home to me...

[oh =x, lights up]

Did we? I am glad. I can't claim it was intentional, but... perhaps your bond was enough to bring his soul to our hands.

I thought I should at least convey my gratitude... Though I wonder if we seem to have brought along quite a lot of familiar faces...

You are most welcome, then.

Have we?

Six from our world or worlds like it. About the same, for the number of people who have once been to another place we were pulled to. It seems to be taking a toll on people...

[nods]

I would not expect it to be easy. Your kind are not designed to suffer this sort of change.

Mm... I won't speak for everyone, but knowing how we come to be here, it's particularly difficult in some ways to recognize so many others who are here...

...I thought it might be good to do something relaxing for those who I know.

Yes. To see those you recognize here is both a blessing and a curse.

[headtilt]

Such as?

Ah... to be honest I haven't gotten much farther than that thought. There's too much to do here still.

It is difficult to think of what could offer true rest at a time such as this.

[takes your hand and leads you to sit next to her on the sandstone]

[sitting then]

Well, easy to think of what may help, but less so to consider what can actually be done...

I suppose what I would like is to give them somewhere comfortable and undisturbed to collect themselves... Right now everyone is always coming and going everywhere, due to taking care of resources.

[nods]

And there is not much space as of yet.

There isn't... I suppose it's never too early to start gathering what I need to set up such a place though.
