The Goddess of all the Kaled'a'in clans, she is has four aspects, the Maiden, the Warrior, the Mother and the Crone.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Divine Delegation: A pretty recent thing. She just chose Avatars for herself at the end of The Mage Winds Trilogy.
  • The Hecate Sisters: Three of her four aspects, the odd one being the Warrior.
  • I Have Many Names: It's pretty firmly established by the end of the Mage Storms trilogy that all the various cultures' different goddesses are just different names/faces for her.
  • Technicolor Eyes: Sort of, her eyes are like a patch of the night sky.
  • The Omniscient: Averted, even She doesn't always know what's going to happen.
  • Physical God: There is no doubt that She exists and She has interfered relatively often and unmistakably in the lives of her people over the years.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: She is good to her people, but she doesn't baby them either.
