## Personality and traits

**Asherah** is a loving and honest person who is an assertive leader when required.

Whenever her mate was present, she allowed him to take the lead as much as possible unless she felt the need to interject.

While she is easily bored, she enjoys entertaining guests and is well mannered when dealing with them.

The way she nurtured her children and used her intelligence to create was creative. It was rare for her to get angry and she lived an active lifestyle.

### As the Goddess of Life

As the **Goddess of Life**, **Asherah** was kind, pleasant and affectionate. She would create life and in the end her husband would return their souls to her to rejoin the cycle, she loved listening to her husband gush over the tales that the souls would show and tell him.

She would quickly grow to miss the exchange during his absence, without her guidance some souls were able to be claimed by other forces instead of rejoining the cycle. She would try her best but between her duty of keeping their realm safe from invasion and her worrying about her husband's disappearance her effectiveness with doing her duties were massively reduced.

After the return of **The Source**, they would resume their old arrangement but this time, **The Source** would also gather the souls of Witchers who he would give a choice to be reborn free of the struggle or to rejoin the balance.
