Weakness
Mother


Like the Danzig song sang, she wishes she'd told her children not to walk certain ways. She regrets the loss of all of her babies, Trueborn or not. Few of them perished of natural causes. Most died in battle or from human abuse. It has filled her with Rage that only her great spiritualism has tempered over these long, painful years.

Likelihood of Corruption


Very low.

She's one of Helios' chosen. What she somehow doesn't see coming, He'll warn her of.
