Character Description: The moon goddess is as beautiful as she is tragic. In a fit of rage during an argument, her brother threw a spear at her, blinding her and leaving a hole where her left eye would have been. The injury has permanently dimmed her light, leaving her unable to match the sun's brilliance. It is also the only imperfection on her otherwise perfect face. Her skin is cold like the surface of the moon and her hair twinkles like the stars in the sky. While her beauty may be striking, she is known for her soft and gentle personality. She wears many bangles all along both arms, one for each of her many children - the stars - that dot the skies, always just beyond her reach.
