Yanna is the Goddess of messages, and wisdom. She is depicted as a fox with four tails and transform from a fox into a humanoid female creature with only her tails and fox ears remaining. She has an abundance of beauty in her humanoid form, with pale, fair skin and white fur.
She delivers anything the gods sometimes in the form of messages, secrets, and souls. Occasionally the gods will send her on tasks they don't want to do themselves. They often take advantage of her (duty) kindness and neutrality. Yanna will sometimes appear before a mortal only for an instant before a good or bad life-changing event. She has been known to trade knowledge and wisdom with mortals but comes typically at a tremendous cost depending on what is asked. "life is not handed on a silver platter. one must prove themselves worthy" - Yanna.
Yanna is neither good nor evil. She Loves All Creatures equally, no matter how evil or good they are. She takes promises particularly seriously. Yanna believes when mortals achieve self-fulfillment, it is the true path to finding their true enlightenment and inner peace no matter the goal or ambition. "One must learn to walk before running and learn to have patience before walking." - Yanna. Her temples are typically challenging to get to visit, usually residing in jungles, forests, and on the side of mountains
