Villager: Thera

(Paintie was done by the wonderful leadershipping, aka 12017!!! She is perfect and did this beautiful yellow child so well liKE LOOK AT THE LITTLE HE A RT IN HER EY E AHHHH)

With ivory fur and poise in her bones, Ishtar’s Sovereign stands as the representative, and ruler, of her land.

Descended from a long line of bats who were crafted, bone by bone, wing by wing, and vein by vein by the Love Goddess, the line of Ishtar are false creatures, but never more sincere in their love. And, to honour her, this line of bats prays to her, sacrifices to her, and loves the world and its denizens alongside her. No one is spared in their attempts to clean and purify the world with love, and, as the last of her line, Thera must love all the more.

She takes in the wounded, the weak, the vilified and the criminals, the outcasts, and gives them love, food, a roof over their heads, and peace in their hearts. Only peace and prosperity can rule in her village, a village that was once an entire empire of love and grandeur, but has now fallen into mist and memory.

Ishtar has not spoken to her devoted people, to the people her clan protects and covets, for thousands of years. But it is no matter. What the Gods do is theirs, and Man can only trail after and attempt to worship and adore the gods despite what they might do.

Despite what they may do.

She came to be gifted for her efforts

She was a bat, once, like her ancestors, but it seemed that one day, as her land sat lush with people and warded off monsters by the gates in troves, Thera came to be blessed.

Her wings, made from fragile bone and fragile, taut skin, thickened and lengthened growing softer, like her fur, as her features, her face, her entirety morphed.

Dressed in pale downy eyes and glittering golden eyes, she became a Chariot Beast, fated to pull at the whispering chariots of the stars above, and watch humanity from up above, and love and care for it with her eyes and hands and will.

But now, still alive, she got now more powers. She looked fearsome, and had horns that could gore and teeth that could rend and tear, but she returned to her duties, being the mother and caretaker for her rag-tag family, and helping as a doctor to all those she could.
