[hider=女媧] [b]God Name:[/b] 女媧 Nüwa/Nügua/Nükua [b]Mortal Name:[/b] 風簡易 Feng Jiandi [b]Origin:[/b] Ancient Chinese Creator Goddess [b]Appearance:[/b] A tall and graceful figure even in her mortal form, the goddess known as Nüwa has incarnated into the realm of humans as an imposing woman of clear Han ethnicity, athletic in her build and standing at a height of around one point nine metres. She possesses regal features, with defined cheekbones and a beautiful face framed by her jet-black hair, which has been tied back into a bun. This sense of dignity is echoed in the manner in which she carries herself as well, from her confident posture to her professional garb. And indeed, her divine state simply magnifies her aura of kingship, with flowing, silvery-grey locks almost like the skin of a snake, and glowing emerald eyes that are clearly inhuman and dangerous, yet awe-inspiring. The ethereal nature of her godliness however, leaves much of her presence to be quite difficult to comprehend, but it is clear from her magnificent fan, royal robes and phoenix crown wreathed in the leathery body of snakes that she is a ruler of humanity. [b]History:[/b] [i]淮南子 Huainanzi[/i] - Going back to more ancient times, the four pillars were broken; the nine provinces were in tatters. Heaven did not completely cover [the earth]; Earth did not hold up [Heaven] all the way around [its circumference]. Fires blazed out of control and could not be extinguished; water flooded in great expanses and would not recede. Ferocious animals ate blameless people; predatory birds snatched the elderly and the weak. Thereupon, Nüwa smelted together five-colored stones in order to patch up the azure sky, cut off the legs of the great turtle to set them up as the four pillars, killed the black dragon to provide relief for Ji Province, and piled up reeds and cinders to stop the surging waters. The azure sky was patched; the four pillars were set up; the surging waters were drained; the province of Ji was tranquil; crafty vermin died off; blameless people [preserved their] lives. [i]風俗通義 - Fengsu Tongyi[/i] - People say that when Heaven and earth opened and unfolded, humankind did not yet exist, Nü Kua kneaded yellow earth and fashioned human beings. Though she worked feverishly, she did not have enough strength to finish her task, so she drew her cord in a furrow through the mud and lifted it out to make human beings. That is why rich aristocrats are the human beings made from yellow earth, while ordinary poor commoners are the human beings made from the cord's furrow. [i]封神演義 - Fengshen Yanyi[/i] - While King Zhou of Shang, the final ruler of his dynasty, was paying his respects to Nüwa at her temple, he became utterly smitten with her beauty, and wrote a poem on the wall that sought her hand. Upon viewing it, the goddess was sent spiralling into a rage, and she vowed to murder the shit out of him for daring to speak dirty to her through shitty poetry, as well as cursing the Shang dynasty to fall. She personally ascended the steps to Zhou's palace to rip his intestines out, but then the Yellow Emperor up in Heaven was all: "woah calm down" and shot two gigantic red lasers at her. Then she realised that unfortunately, Zhou still had twenty-six years left in his fuel tank, and so called three of her subordinates down to fuck with Zhou. "The luck Cheng Tang won six hundred years ago is dimming. I speak to you of a new mandate of heaven which sets the destiny for all. You three are to enter King Zhou's palace, where you are to bewitch him. Whatever you do, do not harm anyone else. If you do my bidding, and do it well, you will be permitted to reincarnate as human beings." And so doomed the Shang. [b]Personality:[/b] A suave and composed woman at first glance, the dignified figure that Nüwa cuts is incredibly confident in her own self and ability, possessing a sense of pride in her very being that could be easily interpreted as arrogance. Yet it is a pride that is entirely deserved, for she performs all duties that are required of her with finesse and skill, working with great vigour to ensure that perfection is kept. As such, she rarely suffers fools, and can be quite condescending to those who doubt her strength and wisdom. This cool-headed efficiency however, sometimes disappears if her pride has been slighted, and her responses can be quite disproportionate to those who have offended her sensibilities. Anger comes easily, fuelled by bottled-up frustrations at her need to constantly fix everything, and her actions in this regard, whether it be dry, venomous wit or a propensity for violence, do well to portray this rage of hers.
