Helgya

Helgya is one of the five Goddesses and eight Divinities of Ximizhlum. Patron of sciences and magic, often worshiped by people working in trades related to those.

Mostly solitary, secluded, doing Divine things from deep within Ximizhlum's underground. Trades with humans if they have something interesting to offer. Punishes those who waste Her time.

Remains neutral through most conflicts. Was the only one not to go against Uvu during Bjorn’s campaign, remaining neutral, earning respect of Her, while leaving the rest of the Pantheon disappointed.

Lost Her right wing and had Her right side scarred during Xentrikashishin Vyeziteridai (Battle of Greatly Shining Stars), a battle where the Goddesses fought a Star and won.

On the world where the Goddesses came from, Helgya belonged to a caste who were genetically modified just to breed. As such, She has got four breasts, is not a futanari, and is physically shorter and weaker than the other Goddesses.

Lyublya treats Helgya as a younger sister or daughter, giving Her gifts, such as the jewelry of gold, pearl, malachite, and fangs that She carries on Her armband. The headband is also Lyublya's gift.

The gems associated with Helgya are kunzites and malachites. Kunzites because of her purple affinity. Malachites because malachite soulgems are believed to fuel Her machinations.

Her fighting style is using artificial constructs (golems), and if that fails, She fights by turning Her fingers into metal and extending them, using them as piercing needles or blades.

According to legend, Helgya's base was often invaded by rats who would cause a ruckus and break machinery. One day, She had enough, and went on a crusade to exterminate all rats.

On the first week, Helgya wiped out every single rat on Ximizhlum. On the second week, Helgya cleansed Helvetya of all rats. On the third week, She took the remains of the rats She killed, and buried them on the moon Trasa.

And so, rats became extinct, and pre-crusade remains of rats, such as tails or bones, would become highly valued.

Even though only rats were targeted and no other rodents, Ximi people may leave symbols of Helgya in rooms where they fear mice infestations, believing the mice know what awaits them if they piss Her off if they enter.

Design wise, Helgya has black spiky hair with purple eyes whose eye pattern is pink and resembles a start with six arms. Below the hair, She has a golden headband with kunzites, given by Lyublya.

Two large wings sprout from Her back, though the right one has been torn off. The upper part of each segment is made of bronze and kunzite, while the inner parts are purple with a black pattern.

She wears a long black dress, whose insides are pink. Under it is a fishnet shirt. Dark boots are Her favourite.

She wears long fingerless gloves of black colour, allowing Her fingers to transform into metallic blades with ease. On the right side, She’s got a large bracelet, also made of bronze, with several gems and cogs embedded, said to be used to control things around Her base. From the bracelet are two golden chains, one which has a pendant hanging from it with a white pearl, malachite, and animal tusks, given by Lyublya, and the other one which has a rat skull with kunzite eyes, taken as a souvenir of Her crusade against Rathood.
