Realm:

The Crystal Current, a vast, flowing paradise of rivers that endlessly branch and rejoin, shimmering lakes that mirror the skies above and waterfalls that tumble into mist filled glades. The waters themselves are alive with a faint magical hum, those who drink from them often experience vivid dreams and bursts of inspiration. Great bridges of living wood and stone arches span across the currents, built not by mortals, but shaped by the waters themselves. In its depths swim colossal freshwater serpents, guardians of her domain, alongside water fae and spirits who weave spells into the flow of streams. Hidden within the realm are sacred groves where rain eternally falls in silver drops, and valleys where lakes rise into the sky like floating mirrors, defying gravity. At the heart of it all lies The Inbhir’s Basin, a crystalline lake whose waters spiral upward into the form of a serpent, ever-circling, a symbol of endless renewal.

Personality:

Inbhir is fluid in nature, embodying the moods of water. She is compassionate, nurturing and endlessly giving, like rivers that bring life to the lands. She welcomes mortals, especially healers, poets, nature lovers and inventors into her favor, gifting them inspiration and sometimes visions in dreams. She delights in conversation and camaraderie, easily making bonds with gods, spirits and mortals alike. Yet she is also mercurial, her temperament can shift like a sudden storm. When scorned, disrespected or when her waters are polluted, she becomes vengeful, sending water spirits, floods, whirlpools or storms as punishment. Her followers often describe her like a dear friend who laughs easily but whose anger can drown cities if provoked.

Appearance:

She resembles an elven woman with greenish blue tinted pale skin, long dark blue hair that flows like it's in water, light blue snake eyes with black sclera and vertically slitted pupils, blueish green scales that cover her forehead, cheeks, shoulders and back, fangs, wears a dark blue dress and silver jewelry with light blue gemstones.
