[b]Name:[/b] Naja Naja, Deity of the Wood

[b]Domain:[/b] Trees, Wilderness, Exploration, Nature, and all that draws sustenance from the land. Notably, Naja Naja does not have any particular influence or interest over agriculture. She also claims minor domains in inspiration, creativity, and passion.

[b]Personality:[/b] Being one part untamed wilderness, and another part spontaneous action, Naja Naja is a difficult deity to pin down. Never the sort to stop for a moment, she can be seen spreading her not-insubstantial influence far and wide across whatever she may claim as her territory. Naja Naja does not care for artificial barriers and boundaries, and all else being equal will tend to seek to erode or destroy them. Her machinations are nigh-unstoppable--being, as she is, a literal force of nature--but a good story (with romance!) can divert her surprisingly easily. In her capacity as a goddess of inspiration and creativity, Naja Naja typically functions as a muse to mortals regardless of her coworkers' insistence that she please stay on her side of the fence they are trying to lead a civilization to glory here and this habit of filling peoples' heads with unpredictable ideas is making it very difficult. She can occasionally draw the ire of less patient gods for this reason.

[b]Appearance:[/b] To mortals, Naja Naja will typically take the appearance of a large female mortal, with skin the color of fertile soil and clothed in garments made of wondrous foliage that changes with the seasons and breathtaking flowers the likes of which have never been seen and will never be seen again. Her arrival is heralded with exotic birdsong, and flowers grow wherever she treads. To her peers, she is much the same, but here prefers to robe herself in galaxies and announce her entrance with supernovae.

[b]Symbols:[/b] Flowers, particularly alyssums, white carnations, and clematis. Sometimes associated with certain instruments as well. Depictions of Naja Naja are most commonly rendered in gold or polished wood.

[b]Trivia:[/b] No, she was not, in fact, responsible for the collapse of any major civilizations, and she would appreciate it very much if you would all stop bringing that up, thank you very much.
