Mariana

Mariana is of the Luciran pantheon, the eldest daughter of House Leonide. Her twin scimitar glows bright with the heat of the sun, and it is said that with them she can even cut through steel as if it were butter. Righteous knights and soldiers revere her for her steadfast convictions and her fearlessness.

She has high expectations for her followers, and will not accept cowardice or hesitation.

Role in the Pantheon
Mariana is the eldest daughter of House Leonide, and tends to set an example for her siblings and other relatives. Her brash personality does land her into arguments and strife with the other gods at times, both in and out of her house, but she always attempts to make amends with those she considers to be of good faith.

Appearance
Most of the time Mariana is depicted as a humanoid with the head of a lioness with bright golden fur. She is often shown to be lightly armored, favoring speed over durability. Her build also reflects this. At times though, she has been said to appear in the form of a large golden lioness with suntouched fur. In both of these forms, Mariana is depicted with golden bangles and neck rings. Her clothes are often white, and her devotees tend to wear white as well as the obvious gold in her honor.
