Dahlia

__TOC__
Dahlia is a daughter of the Clarene and the Ophelia, herself one of the Greater Spirits of the Otherfaith. Dahlia is a joyful maritime spirit, born where the River Ophelia meets the ocean and is thus connected to the sea, shore, sailing, and all parts of the ocean's ecosystem. She is also connected with the Isle of Women, a land near but apart from the West. Dahlia usually takes female-identified lovers including the spirits Corliss and Grace.

In the myth Corliss & the Sea, Dahlia is described as having dark hair, "eyes the blue of sea and sky," and skin "the color of mountains meeting sandy shores." Dahlia is also known for her great beauty, having been "met with swooning and sighs and soft touches" after washing upon the shore as a fully-grown spirit.http://daoineile.com/otherfaith-mythology/corliss-the-sea/ She also is seen frequently accompanied by other women, whose romantic company she prefers almost exclusively.
