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.

Do you have a sacrifice to offer?

Will you take a lion's heart?

I will. I accept hearts, ribcages, and lungs. Even from the weaker creatures.

Good. Lion heart's what I've got.

[dumps said heart into his hand from a crude pouch he's brought] So . . . do I just give it to you or . . . ?

[it disappears out of your hand, she is spitting into her own hands and rubbing them together]

Let me see the worst of it.

. . . [s-sighs and slooowly works his shirt off. The worst is pretty obvious in the small chunks missing where the eels outside took a bit out of him. There's a few nasty looking gashes and bite marks from his encounter with a moss lion, and some injuries even older . . . The eel bites are the freshest, only at the "we're done bleeding everywhere" stage.]

[..s-sigh]

Oh child.

[touching eel and mosslion wounds, instantly bringing them to the 'we are now closed and probably won't scar if you leave them alone the rest of the way' stage]

[fgkjh whoa that feels weird]

A-Ah . . . thanks . . .

You're welcome.

[there, medium wounds are all now small wounds]

You may like to take care of your own injuries, but you will be overall more effective and take fewer in the long run if you simply come to see me.

I'll come to you when I need to.

Very well. My name is Dellen. If you call me urgently enough, such as the case of an emergency, I will hear you. If you think you'll ever need that help, I suggest making a sacrifice ahead of time when you can. I'll reserve the power for you or yours.

Okay . . . I'll remember that.

Is there anything else?

No, this was all I needed.
