First Sister
The original First Sister was Airis Brightwave. She was chosen by Danu, Goddess of the Sea at her birth. She recruited other women after creating the first Vario Grotto Creche.
When she recruited more than three people that followed the goddess Danu, they began the Circle of Sisters which eventually opened the Church of Danu. They celebrated rituals during the ties of the full moons, solstice, esbat, conjunction, and even special tides.
They can be hereditary, elected, chosen by the First Sister, or by the Danu herself. Oftentimes Danu sends the First Sister a dream to help her choose her successor. They can be chosen from the nearby area or farther afield. Airis was the first, she chose Danus s her successor and has been training her since she entered the novitiate. She also has a special connection to Danu and her waters.
