Deis Nahe, firstborn of the color gods, also known as the Queen of Poets and the Scarlet. Goddess of fire, transformation, renewal, romance and the arts.I’d drawn her human form before, so I kept that to the headshot and mostly drew her much preferred manifestation, the phoenix. Despite being this pantheon’s designated theater kid, Dena is horribly shy and highly reclusive; as a muse she reveals herself to precious few worshipers. Her solitary habits are read diversely; some see her as fickle and callous, a patron of failed relationships, unrequited love, and the many things that thwart art and see good creation fouled. Others believe that she is benevolently guiding them through understanding relationships truly. She has weak relationships with just about all of her siblings, only really getting along with her golden brother, Garu, and they mostly ‘get along’ in the sense that, as the wind that carries her wings, he’s inescapable and the two bicker more often than Dena does with anyone else so he ends up with the best sense of what she’s thinking. For the most part, she is surly, irritable, and clumsy in conversation, but, just when you think that maybe the whole goddess of poets thing was a cosmic joke, one of her fleeting passions will seize her and she’ll throw herself with total abandon into producing the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen… usually, right before destroying it.Legend has it that anyone who drinks her blood lives forever and that filching her feathered garment will prevent her from turning into a phoenix. Neither of those legends are particularly good things to test in your personal time since she’s also, y’know, the closest thing to a primordial fire elemental that exists in this world. -- source link
