For everything, there is an opposite. It’s Lethia’s job to find that perfect median, to make sure that there’s neither too much, nor too little of each. If there are too many deaths, then people will be graced with a child. If a country is too prosperous, then Lethia will arrive with a drought.
Lethia is at times mistaken for a Deity of Revenge. This however, isn’t true. This misconception is born from the fact that Lethia is known for causing misfortune for the fortunate. Lethia isn’t doing this for revenge, she’s doing this to make sure that they don’t have too many good things happening to them.
However, balance is subjective. And the interpretation of such a complex word is up to Lethia, the Deity of Balance. She has been known to favor misfortune, unfairness, especially for personal reasons. However, there’s a balance in this as well. She still has to balance fairness and unfairness. That’s why she can get away with this.
Background
Lethia grew up with a lack of balance.
She never experienced the love of a mother, the comforts of a home. As an orphan, she grew up with misfortune, sorrow, and loss. Ostracized by her peers, never having a home, Lethia had no one to depend on, no one to protect her.
Eventually, she moved away from the city to live by herself in the woods. It was the best decision she ever made. Until she received her new position of power that is. As a goddess, she would be able to right the wrongs, to make sure that people wouldn’t suffer from pure misfortune as she did.
Now that she thinks about it though, if her destiny was to become a deity of balance, then technically her situation would be balanced right now. All of her misfortune could be explained if it all led to her having her eventual deity status.
Personality
There is an aura of perpetual darkness around Lethia.
Rather than be the center of attention, Lethia prefers to be an observer, mysterious and aloof. Not much is known about Lethia, as she doesn’t open up to anyone. She seldom smiles, but she doesn’t radiate hostility. She simply isn’t a social person, finding solace in being alone. Lethia isn’t absent from interaction though, she’s always there, observing and analyzing.
She’s not unkind by any means, however. She can be compassionate, charming, and kind, she just doesn’t allow herself to have the chance to show the warmer sides of herself. She feels emotions, but she hardly ever portrays them, remaining seemingly cold, or frigid. Stated kindly, she’s neutral and unaffected.
There’s a slightly sadistic side to her personality, which causes her to favor misfortune, chaos, and suffering in her godly duties.
Powers
Judgement
Lethia can see the balance within anything. This is largely subjective and unexplainable, but an example would be that she can sense the amount of various emotions within a person. She can observe the balance between day and night, she knows the amount of fortune and misfortune someone has encountered.
Psychokinesis
Lethia has the ability to manipulate her surroundings. She can move things around with her mind.
Enforcing Balance
If something is off balance, Lethia has the ability to fix it. If someone is feeling too much sorrow, Lethia can provide joy. If there are too many storms, she can clear the skies. However, she can only do this when something is truly off balance, not just because she wants to. The scale of her ability is limited to the scale of the unbalance, meaning that she can only do small things for small imbalances, and large things for large.
Weapons
Scythe, daggers, bow and arrows.
Lethia also uses her surroundings as a weapon.
