The God Spot: Hadria

Hello, and WWWELCOME to the FIRST EDITION of... THE GODDDD SPOTTTTTTT! I'm your charming host, Austin, and this time around we'll be dropping in on our special guest....

HADRIAAAAAAA! *Crowd cheers*

...

Haha, no. I don't think I'm going to go with that kind of format.

The first sentence of that incredibly riveting talk show bit still rings true! Welcome to the posts that will tell you a little bit about the Rocosian pantheon! First off, the way lower gods work: prayers are sent up to the lower gods requesting that they ask the head honcho, Dante, to grant whatever request their mortal buddies ask of them. Basically a request train. It's that simple. Now, onto the first goddess to get the star treatment, Hadria!

Ok, so this isn't Hadria. But You Watanabe was a major inspiration!

Hadria is the goddess of the sea, exploration, sailing, curiosity, and (most importantly) the Edges of Rocosia. You see, Rocosia is a flat disc world, and somebody's got to keep sailors from falling off the edges into the void. That somebody is Hadria! She was put up to this incredibly important task by Ivan, her mentor of sorts and the god of winter, water, and some other things. Dante didn't think humans would dare to go too far out into the ocean, since the single, central continent provided everything they might need. Human sailors proved him wrong. After the first few ships went tumbling into the vast nothingness of the cosmos, Hadria was sent to stop more unnecessary deaths. And that's where she's been situated to this day.

She's been in the sea so long that her skin has taken on a pale, bluish tinged tone. Her hair flows like water, and gradiates from a deep blue to the tiniest bit of white at the tips. It also sprays sea foam when she turns suddenly. Her clothing is equally as flowing, and she never seems to get wet, only having a fine mist about her. Like most things about her, her eyes are blue. Blue is kind of one of her things. When she appears more normal, she takes the form of a young maiden that looks a bit similar to the girl in the gif above. However, she has much longer hair and thicker sideswept bangs.

Personalitywise, she's incredibly curious. I mean, it does happen to be one of her domains. When she's not doing her job, (which she SHOULD be doing all the time...) she's out learning more about everything she can. She likes to tag along with sailors in spirit form, listening to their stories and singing along to their sea shanties. The confusion that results out of an unknown, bodiliess female voice coming out of nowhere is highly entertaining to her.

Last bit about her: she's the daughter of Frain (god of borders, fairness, justice) and Tumna, (goddess of autumn, aging, decay, earth) and takes after her father more than her mother. (Although, she takes after her aunt Kanenne MUCH more than either of them... but Kanenne is a story for another time. ;) )

Hope you enjoyed the first God Spot! It was fun to write, and you can be sure that there will be more in the future!
