very ticklish. But you better not try anything or she'll
actually bash your head in. For real. She'll kill you. Don't tickle her.
She does enjoy a good laugh though - has a good sense of humour, if she says so herself. A light-hearted story with plenty of jokes is right up her alley and is sure to garner more than a few laughs from her.
'While travelling once, I happened on two jimmies - one from Agnee, and another from Shasha. The jimmy from Agnee asked me why people foreign to these villages thought that those Shashans who travelled were jimmies of learning, while those Agneeds who did were not. I turned to him and said, 'well, only fools leave Agnee; as for Shasha, only fools would stay!' Now the Shashan - not too bright a jimmy, truth be told - said I was right about Shashans because, he said, every jimmy that wants to leave Shasha is tested by its chief before he can leave, to make sure he is well-read and canny. If he fails, he's not allowed to leave, but has to go back to his studies. If he wants to leave again, the chief repeats the test; but if he is tested a third time, and then found lacking, he is never allowed to leave Shasha. And so, says this Shashan jimmy to me, none but the canniest and most well-read can leave Shasha. So I turned to him sharp like and said, 'I see - then you must've been smuggled!'
Despite her terminological idiosyncrasies, Seihdhara is for the most-part articulate, even if that does not translate into prose poetry. She is expressive and can be charismatic, though her quick smile and readiness to laugh at a good joke quickly tear up any impression of distant genius or esoteric mystery. She is unafraid of exposure in that regard.
When angry or irritated, Seihdhara is quick to slap or thwack the cause of her irritation. She is not vengeful and does not see a reason to hide how she is feeling. She is, however, sensitive to the emotions of others and would regulate her own words and actions as appropriate. While she may yell or strike out when angry, her anger dissipates as quickly as it arises. She is not prone to retreating into herself or being sombre for long periods. This is much the case with all her emotions - she feels intensely in the moment and has no qualms sharing that with whoever is available (whether joy, misery, melodramatic crying session, or what have you). This willingness to expose her emotions does not come from a place of weakness, however. It emerges from the conviction that, ultimately, no one can truly use these emotions against her - anyone who thinks they can would quickly come to realise that she can deal with them quite efficiently. She is, after all, an apex predator, she harms and is not harmed, protects and has no need for protection, renders kindness and asks none for it, frees and can never herself be unfree.
Though gods usually do not - or even, cannot - sleep, Seihdhara chooses to. Sleep comes easy to her, and she will sleep for long hours on end in comfort. A goddess, she can awaken instantaneously and be alert if the need arises, though when there is no such danger force of habit makes her slow to awaken and somewhat petty in the half-hour or so after she has risen. She does not like sleeping alone and will tend to find something to hug - a rock, some animal, or a sentient mortal, preferably a pretty jimmy, though a quinie'll do just fine. Seihdhara doesn't discriminate.
In the same way, Seihdhara is a big eater despite gods having no need for any kind of sustenance. She doesn't much care about what exactly she is eating and will gulp down just about anything placed before her. She's also something of a compulsive gambler, which is no issue given her divine nature - it's pretty much cheating. As a point of principle, however, she only swindles swindlers - they deserve it!
