Sansha

Sansha is the goddess of beauty and love. She shares passionate love for all living things. She prefers to spend her time among those who enjoy life and experience love the most deeply. She prefers for all beings to love all other beings, but she also recognizes the joy that comes from finding a perfect match and spending time loving them more deeply than all others. She works diligently to create such matches and to preserve them against any and all threats.
Her love for all beings even extends to those in direct opposition to her. This makes it particularly difficult for her to fight, as striking down someone she loves unequivocally is incredibly painful for her. Nevertheless she will not shy away from it when the need arises.

Description

Sansha's firey red hair cascades around her face and body, perpetually blowing in a gentle breeze that seems to exist only for her. Sometimes these crimson locks evelope her, directly obscuring her porcelain features or casting dark shadows which create the same effect. Other times they hide nothing.

Personality

Sansha has a passion for life that is unrivaled even by the likes of Kamis or Rhelious. She is free spirited and celebrates those who celebrate freedom and life, often behaving in the same jovial manner as the goddess of joy herself. In direct contrast though, Sansha also has a serious side to her. She will fight to defend life and love when necessary, though she does it with pain in her heart and on her face, rather than rage or righteous fury.

Relationships

Sansha and Kamis both share a passion for celebrating life, often doing so together. Sansha also attends to serious matters though, and considers the long term happiness of others more than Kamis who is obsessed with only transient joy. This drives the two of them apart at times.
The more serious sides of Sansha relate more closely with Kawahara, who shares a similar love for the people of Seinnaris. Although the goddess of birth and renewal views them more like children, Sansha herself views them as peers, friends, and lovers. Both deities agree on the importance of supporting and protecting them however, and frequently find themselves on the same side of conflicts.
Sansha also shares a similar bond with Salios, the only other deity in the pantheon that seems to care for nature as much as she does. Sansha's love applies equally to all living things, and that includes the wild nature of his domain.
