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.

Not really... I'm originally from a city of millions...

But why the dead?

A few reasons. It is simply easier for us, if the attachment to the world is weaker, and because bringing the living here, for many, would be the same as murder. We aren't interested in taking away lives that are being lived happily, but want people who have nothing else, who will make a home here.

I believe they will change their minds, given time. Even if that is not their plan, it is hard to not build a life where you find yourself.

Is there something you want? Or something you wish to sacrifice?

I'm not a hunter, so I can't offer up much in that aspect. But I don't know what I would want at this point--a change of clothes maybe?

I take 'sacrifices' of good deeds as well, if they are done for a human in my name. And clothing I can provide.

Yes. Kindness toward others.

... past deeds wouldn't really work for that, huh.

All right, I think that's something I can work with.

If I can think of ways... I've kind of gotten used to having to do the opposite... not by want, either.

Is that so? Well, desperate times can, I suppose, call for desperate action. But it can also call for a great willingness and charity. These are also desperate times, so I think you will do well.
