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.

[leans forward, letting Dellen take a close look]

What are you doing?

[Dellen closes her eyes and you might guess that he 'looking' is not a surface level thing]

Hm... you are not quite all human, as I thought.

[yeah, not sure if want...]

I had one or a few vatazin ancestors, hundreds of years ago, before they went extinct. The traits still show up in human bloodlines sometimes.

[well if she noticed she doesn't say anything (=]

Would you say you consider yourself human, then?

Yes. Humans don't all look the same, nor do they all have the same abilities.

[nod]

But I am the goddess of humans and can have no domain over one who is not. If you rejected your humanity, I could do nothing for you.

[pressing a hand to your forehead again, and you will find your shallow wounds closing]

Thank you.

I owe you an offering, don't I?

You do. I accept the lungs, hearts, and rib cages of beasts. But if you have not those, good deeds done for humans in my name are also more than acceptable.

This injuries were from my first hunting attempt. I imagine the bird has woken up by now. So it shall have to be a good deed for today.

That will be quite fine.

Thank you.

Dellen
