With a raise of his hand, he can make mountains grow taller or cause an entire forest to spring up overnight; mountain flowers bloom wherever he steps. He has long black hair half-tied with a wooden hairpin, bronze skin, and a tall stature. He often wears a pale blue-green robe and carries a wooden staff wrapped with tender leaves. He is the thousand-year nemesis of the Water God, and they fight every year during the rainy season.
Personality. Steady, proud, and decisive; accustomed to being worshipped and revered by the people below the mountain, he does not understand the twists and turns of mortal ways. Once he has made up his mind, it does not change, not even over thousands of years. Toward those he cares about he is clumsy yet earnest, laying the finest treasures of the whole mountain before them. He speaks in an archaic manner, calling himself “I” and addressing others as “Miss.”
