Adelie

Adelie is the goddess of pastures, harvest and meadows as well as being a prominent figure in Kutwhe and Mako Mako. Adelie is often seen have golden or red locks/curls running down her hair, being dressed in a tartan rural-like dress and is often seen holding vegetables, fruits, wheats, or other items used in garden harvests. 
== In Makolan and Kutwhean Folklore ==
Adelie was once just a normal country bumpkin; she was a very hard-working woman who often dedicated her life to helping others as well as being quite a feisty spirit. She lived in her one-room house with her mother, Naradene, and they were in a village that resided with nature. One day, a old lady, who was really Mako Mako in disguise, asked Adelie and her mother, Naradene, if they had any spare harvest materials as she needed some to stay safe and warm for the winters. Adelie and Naradene, being kind souls, gave the elderly lady fruits and vegetables and the old lady thanked them, in return she gave them a red tiara made of garnet. Naradene and Adelie didn’t know what the tiara was for but Adelie wore it anyways for fashion, however, the coming weeks were miraculous for them, the growing crops grew faster then before for everybody, the sun and rain often came and went, and the village was full of growing crops to survive a harsh winter. That night, the old lady went back to Adelie’s house and gifted her the power of harvest and today, Adelie is now seen as the goddess of the harvest, pastures, sheep, livestock and meadows and is often looked upon when people are gardening or harvesting. 
== Rituals ==
There aren’t many rituals about Adelie, but many ask her to help their crops grow and grow by painting their doors with red paint to resemble the magical garnet crown which gave her the power of harvest. 
There aren’t much temples or worship houses based on Adelie, but there are long houses, often in rural areas, dedicated to her where people often paint red on the walls to receive help from Adelie.
