Goddess of Beauty

Biodata

Background

The Goddess of Beauty chose freedom as his foundation and strength as the means to protect himself. Although beauty was his essence, he kept his distance from love and lust, domains commonly associated with a goddess of beauty 62.

During the Age of the Gods, he made a covenant with the Jade Qilin Clan, using divine power as the oath and their bloodline as the bond. At their coronation ceremony, he reaffirmed his protection, and a golden halo appeared around every clan member 75.

He is one of Wuma Xiu’s divine selves. The Moon God, God of Wine, Spring God, and Sea God are among his other selves 69 83 253 343.

Appearance

In his adult form, the Goddess of Beauty has slender hands, broad shoulders, and striking features described as transcending gender and the mortal world 62 162.

• Hair: Dark and long enough to spill down his back 84.
• Clothing: He has worn a red veil and, when trying to attract the Moon God’s attention, a sheer silver-red outfit 82 83.
• Bearing: Flamboyant and unconcerned with keeping a low profile 65 84.

Personality

The Goddess of Beauty is confident in his appearance and dismissive of most pursuers. He dislikes hiding himself or accepting restrictions imposed because others find him attractive 53 69.

He is playful, flirtatious, and fond of provoking reactions. When the Moon God ignored his attempts at seduction, he pretended to be dejected until Moon paid him attention 83 84.

Despite his admirers, he values relationships without ulterior motives. He especially cherishes the God of Wine’s companionship, where neither has to look up to the other 82. A possessive former lover reinforced his aversion to romance that costs him his freedom 345.
