Spring, the Drowned Lady

While on the Stage of Neih, the seraph of Spring brings the rain torrents to feed Neih for the following many millennia. She revitalizes Neih after his long slumber over winter and prepares Neih for the eventual summer and light. While she is known for bringing life back to Neih, as this is the period where new world leaves are born and wild life and nature spirits return, she is also known as the mournful for she waters Neih with her tears for the living of the previous cycle who've perished; the worlds which are no more. Her laments sometimes reverberate into summer and the fall, causing much devastation which just makes her more mournful. Yet, Neih finds her his favorite, as her showers wake Neih like a mother’s gentle kiss. The Followers of Spring tend to be of water nature and are often the creators of wildlife on Neih. She is also known as the Drowned Lady.
A second function of Spring is to be the ferryer of souls passing from Neih to Hah. This adds to her sadness as death does that. This gives her a necromantic nature to her, and at times her life giving methods are seen as unholy.

Divine Domains

She rules through the torrents of Spring, where continental rains shower the cosmic tree into life. For most of this season, the continental leaves are just budding, not yet being habitable for civilizations. Yet, many aquatic species live in the rain, travelling between the ocean sized droplets which flurry around the tree. While must of this rain hits the ground to nourish the tree, large swaths of the water orbit around Spring's Ul structures, monuments to her that spring from the earth whenever her season begins. These Ul's, numbering in the millions, eventually land on continental leaves.

Tenets of Faith

Life and growth are key factors to her followers. The spirits of the waters stir at her command to bring about growth on Neih. She also has a huge aversion to selfishness, preferring those who give out and deny themselves like she does with the burden she carries. She also is the least tenacious Seraph, as her time is the beginning of the cycle, where she has to slowly awaken Neih. Thus, she values those who wait for the best result, seeing that as a valuable use of one's limited life. Yet, she also values this because whenever she becomes rash, impulsive and hasty, she tends to create echoes which cause harm in the future. She admires those who are better than her in character.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Her goals are to reawaken Neih after its slumber over the winter season, bringing life back to its branches in her torrents of tears. She is also the bearer of mortality in Neih, ushering souls away to Hah once they die. The weight of this loss is what brings her tears, and at times echoes of her anguish survive into other seasons, bringing a necrotic insistence to life. She is still devoted to Neih though, her true self opposing these echoes of herself. Spring hates Fall, as Fall tends to be the causer of the most death (since it is his job). Because of this, she will at times invade that season with light showers to provide moments of birth in a season filled with decay. She also tries to turn prominent figures during the Fall to fight for life rather than death.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

One could never look on the face of Spring. She always appears as a woman with long wet white hair from the back. Even if she is flanked, both sides would see the back of her head in some celestial trick or psychological safeguard. To gaze at her face would be to already be dead.

Social

Contacts & Relations

In the year 1570 of the Fishfolk Calendar, Spring had to abandon her domain around Ul Salvation, one of her springtime megastructures. She did this to quell the interference of the time god Tid Fratid, as time traveling criminals were attempting to change the past there. This caused the water to stop flowing from the Ul, leading to an era of drought unheard of in that world. This started a strenuous relationship between Neih's ferryer of souls and Hah's logkeeper.
