Amaterasu

Who is Amaterasu:

  Amaterasu is the deity of the Rising Sun and simply the Sun Goddess, was the goddess of light and the sun. Though considered fragile and to have had a limited upbringing, Amaterasu was curious and forever fascinated by the Prime Material Plane and by the Outer Planes as well. She worried about events on the Prime and sought to understand other deities of the sun. She was known to have great pride but also great gentleness. There isn't much information out there about this goddess however there are a few legends such as:    After the god Nagikami returned from meeting Namikami in the Land of Darkness, he cleaned off the residue of the Underworld, which produced new deities. When he washed his left eye, the sun goddess Amaterasu was born. Her brother Susano once played a prank on Amaterasu so cruel that she fled into a cave to hide. This act deprived the world of light and led to Susano being sorely punished. Nagikami presented an island in an enchanted lake on Shinkoku as a gift to Amaterasu. The sun goddess turned it into a beautiful green land for her people to love. Many shrines to the Eight Million Gods were erected there, the greatest of them being the Temple of Amaterasu; for this, it was called Miyashima, meaning "Temple Island". The Sun Goddess once hurled a flaming coal into the lake of Nora-ko on the island of Shinkoku. Shortly after, the mysterious island of Norijo arose.  

Her position in the war:

  When the war started Amaterasu's kindness was taken advantage off, she let in a group of travellers who where seeking shelter. They where allowed to see the prophet in disguise that they had important information about an upcoming attack, when they received the audience they they had slaughtered the dragon and set off a horn. This signalled a wave of attacks, taking over the kingdom and eventually falling into the rebellion.
