*cheerful* Someone's owned.

The person may be one of the strongest-willed people on the face of her planet--or was, at one point. She successfully gave one of the most bloodthirsty, fundamentally inhuman goddesses of the world a 'creeping case of humanity', that's stuck to the point that the goddess will Call, if she feels Herself drifting back to the old ways.
It's had costs--among them the name that the person was born with and raised under, and more than a little of her ability to judge when something is too big to take on, and all of her fear.
She doesn't lie. Her worldview can be as much as thirty degrees off the norm (witness her calling Aodh 'Shiva' on more than one occasion), but within her worldview, she's never lied. In one sense, there's no point in it--she's not 'clever', or a tactician, or anything else that would fit the description. In another . . it's another thing that sets the Goddess apart from what she was, before the human.

--

There are no fords, now, no half-seen warnings of doom and damnation. There are no demands of mortal heros to love or die.
Where once was water and blood and crow's calls, there is laughter and fire and a sheer delight in battle for its own sake, a love of the challenge and the moving. Where once was the Queen of Battles, there is a trust in another to plan, to see the angles and tip the scales.
Where once was only fear, there is love.

She cannot bring Herself to miss what was.

[g] You know it.

And ooooooh. Naturally the little map of what makes the person tick is Shiny, but the look inside the goddess is super shiny. Thank you! (......no points for guessing what I nearly typed instead. Fingers are owned and trained.)
