Avonnia (Goddess)

Birth and Youth
When Hollyn decided he wanted to select an heir to his power and position as a Greater God, he did as many gods had and had a child. He had thought that by having a single child, he would be able to rear the youth into becoming the best God to ever rule. Hollyn chose to have this child with his most faithful and loyal High Priestess, a woman by the name of Tarveela Ushonda. Tarveela was unwed, as most of Hollyn's priests and priestess are told to abstain from mortal desires such as romantic relations. The child was created through natural means and was born in Hollyn's temple within the Is'sonyk jungle.

Hollyn named this baby Avonnia, as she was said to have been born with a sly fox-like expression and had hair as fair as the moon. The first few years of Avonnia's life were uneventful, as most infant years are. Her mother remained a prominent figure throughout these years. Once the girl was able, she began a strict regiment of study - Hollyn keeping his hand in all affairs that had to do with his daughter. She spent the first fifteen years of her life learning about the various cultures of the world and, of course, her destiny as the child of Hollyn.

Her father's demand of perfection did exclude the girl, and everything Avonnia did was picked apart by him. Her mother, being such a loyal subject to Hollyn, would agree with the God and push Avonnia towards perfection at every turn.

Adulthood and Aspirations
It is thought that a dream is what aspired the young Goddess down the path she now walks. Avonnia herself has been noted as saying, "It came to me suddenly, and as soon as I witnessed it, I knew it to be true." It is not uncommon knowledge that the Goddess believes she is the one true God of Lailahn and seeks to take the seat of Greater God alone, by any means necessary. It is not known how she came to this beyond her stating she saw it in a dream, but some believe it may have been the result of her childhood.

Avonnia spent the her years between the age of a hundred twelve to two hundred seventy three exploring the world, with a small assortment of guards of course. During this time, her decision to attempt to take over complete rule of Lailahn was thought to be set in stone. Over this period of a hundred sixty one years, the young Goddess had her first taste of power. The details of the incident are vague, likely due to the Goddess deeming them to be not meant for the common ear, but it is known that she slaughtered a Lesser God. This was likely to continue her growth towards becoming what she considers the perfect God.

It was also during her trip outside of the temple that Avonnia started to develop a disinterest if not disdain for her followers. She begun to view them as lesser beings and found herself rather annoyed with their nagging.

Appearance
Avonnia is said to be one of the most beautiful women to have ever existed. Her frame is long, slender and delicate. Some who have seen the goddess have claimed that when she stands still, she looks more like a marble statue than a living being.
