Rochambeau
Goddess of illusion
You alright there, cher?... By the gods, she's seen the Lantern! Someone, call a priest!
Fickle, flighty, and irreverent, Rochambeau brings delight and disaster with her wherever she goes.
She visits the mortal plane - in disguise, of course - more often then any other deity, but it's almost never to give advice or to assist her devotees. Instead, it's to have fun.
Her dazzling light shows are wondrous and captivating, but woe to anyone who stares into her lantern's flame. It puts those who look into it into a trance, a multi-colored haze dancing across their irises. "Seeing the Lantern" is a euphemism used for those who imbibe too many intoxicants (aka, alcohol poisoning or overdosing).

Physical Description
Body Features
While the goddess of illusions may (shocker) prefer to change her form when she walks amongst mortals, artists generally depict Rochambeau as a thin, slip of a girl (old enough to no longer be a child, but not yet a woman either) with skin as pale as milk and hair the color of spun sunlight at high noon, straight and thin as a wire. The only hint of color upon her skin are the apples of her cheek, which are startlingly pink, and her eyes that seem to shift color each time you look into them.
Apparel & Accessories
Her clothing is generally depicted as light and layered: piles upon piles of muslin and gauze in all the colors of the rainbow, so that with each movement the layers would change, thereby changing the hue of her gowns.
Most of the time, Rochambeau is depicted without shoes on.
Relationships
Commonalities & Shared Interests
The goddess of illusions cannot help but stand in the shadow of the goddess of magic herself. But Doloros sees Rochambeau as akin to a daughter to her. A petulant, disobedient daughter, but not one she can't handle. Rochambeau delights in pushing and needling at Doloros - so long as Doloros doesn't react. The game isn't nearly as fun when Doloros snaps and puts Rochambeau in timeout for a bit. It tends to cause the younger goddess to pout quite a bit.
