Asherah, the Lioness
Asherah is a powerful deity of fortune whose spirit got stuck in a statue of a lioness. Even while imprisoned like this, she abuses the power she has left for selfish purposes.
She thinks before she speaks, and knows very well how to hit a nerve with her words. She doesn't speak particularly loudly, but her distinct voice is hard to miss. Threats veiled in friendliness and passive aggressive comments are her preferred ways of communicating her feelings. Her words are polite but the revulsion and arrogance in her voice is unmistakable.
She is egoistic, cruel, proud, and likes to boss people around. She enjoys the feeling of having people do her bidding. She's stately and queenly, and doesn't hesitate to tell people what she thinks. It's rarely a compliment. She can be very irresponsible, and will refuse to admit her own mistakes.
She has not accepted the loss of her powers, and is still angry about it. She'll reply snarkily to anyone who brings it up to her, and prefers to just not think about it.
Extra Info
More backstory in her human form.
After leaving the physical world, Asherah (then named Moira) returned to the spirit-palace called Ait Set. She resided there, quietly, while many years passed on the world below.
She brings fortune when near or touched (good, or bad, depending on her mood). Has the ability to enchant objects to have the same effect temporarily. This is pretty strong, yet nowhere near the power she used to have. Her fur is tough, coarse, short and grey like the limestone her body used to be made of. Instead of stray hair, she leaves behind grit and dust.
The keys around her neck symbolise the power she has lost. She has the keys, but the locks and whatever's behind those locks will be out of her reach forever. The horn she added later; some say she stole it off a gold unicorn statue because she liked it (and it matched her eyes) but she confirms nor denies this.
While she has a human form, she can never return to it at will. She's not a shapeshifter, and will probably never be human again. In her time as a feline, she's developed a stereotypically cat-like feature; she despises water. Though unlike cats, she hates it because she's too heavy to swim and sinks like a brick.Like all lionesses, she's very strong and fast, amplified by her size. Since her body is supernaturally animated, her weight doesn't bother her. Her claws are sharp (like her horn, but that's mainly decoration) and she's not afraid to use them.
