You are Heng O!
The Chinese moon goddess, symbol of the cold and
dark principle yin. She tried to steal the
draught of immortality from her husband, the
celestial archer Shen Yi, but he caught her
before she could drink all of it. The draught
gave her the power to ascend to Heaven, but,
since she had drunk only part of it, she only
got halfway up and had to settle on the moon.
Heng O is portrayed in beautiful robes with in her
right hand the lunar disc, sometimes sitting on
a tree-legged toad. She is the younger sister
of the river god He Bo.
