Elowyn is depicted as a young half-elf woman, sometimes vampiric, with long dark hair, wearing a white, bloodstained gown. She is often shown holding a candle or a lantern, or crying tears of blood. Elowyn is a kind and loving goddess, gathering to her all those who are misunderstood, abandoned, and alone. She views the Reborn as her children, shielding them from Akmon's wrath as best she can. She cares not only for her own followers, but all of the mortal realm, and will often bestow blessings on those in need of aid even if they are not one of hers. She delights in joy and kindness and abhors cruelty, and believes wholeheartedly in mercy and forgiveness.Relationships
