Cocona

Cocona is a formerly human Nature-Blessed Ghost, made corporeal via a bond with an ancient Nature Spirit. 
== First Resurrection: USSE Citizen ==
At some point around her 18th birthday, Cocona and her sister Lilian fled persecution in a land far from Eldham or Rathnir, on a sailboat headed for Rathnir. A storm ended up killing everyone on board, including Cocona, who drowned at sea. However, due to a family heirloom, later known as the Terra Amulet, which Lilian gave Cocona for her 16th birthday, Cocona was resurrected and washed ashore near Laria.
Cocona eventually grew obsessed with the sea and oceanic/aquatic travel, believing that safer travel routes would've prevented her first death at sea. This would lead to her second death, however, while working on an ill-advised canal digging project, alone, in the tundra near Laria and Kazkaya.
== Second Resurrection: CoAC Resident ==
Around a full year later, Cocona would once again resurrect due to the Terra Amulet around her neck at her death, which fused itself to her chest afterwards. She would eventually wander far north to what is now Yujava, then known as the Confederation of Anarchist Communes. 
During her time as a resident of the CoAC town of Savalay, Cocona would learn of the deepslate caverns which had suddenly appeared below the former bedrock layer in both Rathnir and Eldham. Cocona would dedicate an obsessive amount time to researching the flora and fauna present in those caverns, feeling oddly drawn to moss in particular.
After learning of the constant warmongering attempts by Aureus against the CoAC at the time, Cocona would eventually help attempt to mount a resistance against Aureus aggression, in the battle that would become known as the Slaughter of Salisbury. Having been stabbed through the chest during the Slaughter, Cocona died once more.
== ???: Time as a Ghost ==
Cocona would wander a series of Moss-filled caves far below both Eldham and Rathnir for 3 to 5 years as a ghost after her third death during the Slaughter of Salisbury. In this time, she would eventually learn of the true nature of her reincarnations, which were only possible via the latent power of her Terra Amulet, also explaining why it fused itself to her skin.
Cocona would then make direct mental contact with the Soul of Deep Terra, an ancient Nature Spirit. She learned that Terra Amulet was a form of conduit for the Soul of Deep Terra's power, and with it's aid, she was able to use that power to make herself corporeal once more, at the cost of no longer being truly human.
== Third(?) Resurrection: Return to Yujava as a Nature-Blessed Ghost ==
Cocona returned to Eldham via the power granted by the leylines of various Nature Spirits, thanks to her attunement with the Soul of Deep Terra as it's only current Nature-Blessed Ghost. She then returned to Yujava, taking residence once more in the land she last died trying to protect. 
=== Attendance at the Defense of Laria against Segra's Forces ===
Cocona helped with the effort to repel Segra's Forces during the recent Defense of Laria. Due to her nature as pretty much just a ghost with some tangibility, she was highly ineffective in combat, but couldn't exactly be killed. Her armor covered in demonic blood and battered, she returned to Yujava after the battle, having surprisingly survived the Battle relatively unscathed.
