Jirin

Jirin is the son of Fyana, the goddess of nature, and is often depicted in the form of a monkey clad in regal attire along with his mythical staff, the Juri-Basha. He represents mischief, fun, trickery, and joy/happiness.
While a lesser divine being, the adventures of the Monkey King are known throughout as legends and fables and are often inspiring and funny. Often children and thieves look toward the Monkey King for influence and guidance as well as being a popular figure in festivals and fairs.
Jirin has appeared on the mortal plane many times throughout the cycles, seeking fun and adventure as well as occasionally spreading mischief in various ways. He also sometimes visits peasant villages in the form of a old man with a carriage pulled by elk to deliver enchanted toys to children in the cold winter months.
