|| Deity of Balance, UjajU ||
UjajU, who represents balance and peace. Their breath is in the croplands, swaying gently in the breeze. Their careful touch the sun, which shines on the verdant leaves and young stalks. Their warmth is in the mint, sharp on your tongue, and in the cotton bandage, wrapped like a hug upon your hurts. And their eyes, they do not look away at those marked by time, by pain. No, they do not look away. Their hands, they hold us together, and they hope we will hold eachother as well.
With the constant strife and chaos of Pippaf, whether it be from keyaa anamoly or corruption, it is no wonder that UjajU is the most popular deity among the five. It is rare to see any creature reject UjajU's values outright, and even if they do, they often keep these opinions to themselves.
Associated With
Symbol= oval/ring
Color= purple and cream/yellow
Sunshine, fair weather

Cleanliness: soaps, perfumes. Specifically fresh, citrussy smelling things. Yet simultaneously scarring and imperfections, embracing the both, living in balance and happily with your body, however your body has been marked by existence.
Frugality/Simplicity: desiring only which sparks joy, lofty desires or goals not needed.

Giftgiving is a MAJOR thing among UjajU worshippers, seen as a kind and holy act that brings them closer to UjajU and to themselves as a person. Even more bonus points for gifting something that is practical/useful to the receiver. With the heavy emphasis that the gift-giver expects nothing in return.

Virtues
- Generosity, Community, Compassion
- Hope, belief in the good of others
- Words over violence, but violence if necessary
- Frugality, Simplicity
- Imperfection
Offerings
- A meal made by your own hands
- A singular ring of stitched/woven fabric
- Spherical fruits
- Grain or rice displayed in a ring/circle
- Fabrics stitched with UjajU’s ring symbol. Expensive fabrics are usually seen as disingenuous, as wealth/power are not virtues of UjajU. Scrap fabrics are best. If the worshipper can’t perform needle-work, a piece of scrap fabric cut into a circle/oval or hollow ring is enough.
- Chains of rings, can be made out of any material, just must be rings interlocked together to form a chain (which is then most often connected at the end to form a bigger ring). There’s some contention whether making ring chains out of precious metals is ‘against virtue’ or not, as some see it as connecting both UjajU and Doa (with metal, doas association, and rings, for UjajU). Either way, it’s something usually only royal clans can do.
- Rings of woven flowers or woven plants. Bonus points if medicinal plants
- Bits of soap or perfume bottles. Also incense.
- Bandages, even used, dirty bandages. A chain of rings made out of used, bloody bandages is seen as a truly desperate and earnest offering.
- Banquets, sharing meals.
Dress
Clothing with the stitches/patches visible. Clothing with many soft-rounded patterns.
UjajU worshippers may be inclined to wear more tan/cream/brown colored clothes, along with lavender, purple, yellow. But clothes of these colors, without context, don’t strictly denote Ujaju or worship of UjajU (esp since brown/tan clothes are… pretty fucking common). Tho if it’s purple and cream/yellow TOGETHER, that’s definitely UjajU emphasis. Generally worshippers of UjajU will be inclined to wear lighter, more pastel colored clothes.
Cutesy but popular look: top-item with a circular or ovular chest window (even better, if the creature is also wearing a ring necklace, where the ring falls within the chest window). This isn’t regarded as a sexual or ‘slutty’ look (tho some creatures will purposefully turn it into one ofc lol). The look is meant to represent/encourage being centered with yourself and those around you, along with vulnerability.
Leg/arm bandages or wraps. Often patterned with circles / interlocking circles. Meant to promote steady limbs and good health, being rooted to those around you. Can be any color, but cream/tan is most popular.
- Pure purple-dyed wraps are a status symbol most often, (the dye is expensive) or worn by the seriously devoted. May have a purple or green ribbon tied to one or all of the limbs(ontop of the wraps) as a less expensive show of devotion, also shows that the creature is fair-minded(purple) or responsible/driven(green).
- However, a single, trailing ribbon on only the left backlimb/leg shows that a creature is flirty, playful, and looking for a relationship. The color of this ribbon mostly doesn’t matter except if the ribbon is red, then they are looking for specifically a sexual relationship or fling.
