Sehanine Moonbow (SEH-ha-neen MOON-bo)
Sehanine Moonbow, also called Daughter of the Night Skies, Goddess of Moonlight, the Lunar Lady, Moonlit Mystery, the Mystic Seer, the Luminous Cloud, and Lady of Dreams was an elven goddess of death, dreams, heavens, journeys, moon (full moon to be precise), moon elves, stars, and transcendence as well as the most powerful female member of the Seldarine.
Around the time of the Spellplague, Sehanine Moonbow was the fey aspect of the Faerûnian goddess, Selûne. However, with the coming of the Second Sundering, she was once again an independent goddess.
She hated undead and her followers made it their duty to destroy these beings. She was intolerant towards necromancy in general with the sole exceptions being the practice of white necromancy (only tolerated) and the creation of baelnorn liches, which she wouldn't tolerate if it was not necessary.
Nonetheless, she was quite an aloof deity and apart from the aforementioned deeds, she kept herself apart from the happenings of Toril.
As a general rule, she did not speak in a direct manner. Instead, she relied on dreams, visions, etc. to relay information. This did not mean that she was incapable of speaking in a clear manner as she was seen doing that too.

Personal history
How Sehanine Moonbow came to be was unknown, but one theory posited, that she was Corellon’s daughter. It was believed, that the elves originated from a mixture of Corellon’s blood and Sehanine’s tears. She and Araushnee (later known as Lolth) were rivals over the favor of the Protector. She was one of those who participated at the creation of Sehandrian, Corellon's sword.
When Araushnee tampered with the sheath of Corellon, so it would break during Corellon's fight against Gruumsh, he did so under a full moon, not only when Sehanine was at her strongest, but also in plain sight of her. When the sword broke, Sehanine came in to help Corellon prevail against Gruumsh.
Sehanine confronted Araushnee during daytime, and got trapped and imprisoned by Vhaeraun. Around the time, when the War of the Seldarine ended, she came free under heavy but undefined sacrifices and kept Araushnee from poisoning Corellon. She then created Angharradh with Hanali and Aerdrie.
