Serexie (sir-ECK-see)

Role: Goddess of Loss, Sorrow, Agony, and Pain

Symbol: Teardrops with an eye above them (formerly raindrops)

Weapon: Whip (formerly a hand axe)

She was not always this. That is the most important thing to understand about Serexie.

The twin sister of Simmonette, Serexie was once the goddess of spring and joy — a counterpart to her sister’s peace and hope, two sides of the same radiant coin. She has amethyst eyes, a gash running the length of one cheek, and a missing earlobe — souvenirs from the chaos of the God Rain that she has never healed, whether from inability or unwillingness. She lives in complete solitude now, her only companion a blind cardinal, having severed every connection to her fellow gods and vanished from Tannerian entirely. She has not returned.

What happened to Serexie during the God Rain is one of the most told and retold stories in all of Thanria — the rare piece of divine history that still draws genuine emotion from audiences who have largely stopped caring about the gods altogether. She watched her twin die. She watched her sister’s killer receive banishment instead of death. And in a moment of grief so absolute it rewrote who she was, she did something that could not be undone. Her symbol changed across the entire world in an instant. The raindrops became teardrops. An eye appeared above them. And the goddess of spring was gone.

She hates two beings above all others: Ethiss, who killed Simmonette, and Inaias, whom she blames for putting her sister in the path of danger in the first place. She does not distinguish between the two hatreds. Both are total.

Interesting Facts:

• Her symbol did not change by divine decree or punishment. It changed because she changed — so completely and so instantly that the world simply reflected the new truth of who she was.
• She was robbed of her right earlobe and scarred across her cheek by Malon’s magical dagger during the God Rain. She has never healed either wound. Some say she keeps them deliberately — the last physical remnants of the day she lost everything.
