Simat Hayyi is the eldest Archon among the Twenty-Three and the very first to take a seat amongst Celestia. She is known by her followers as the 'Mother of Teyvat' as she has been revered as a mother earth type figure. Ever since her younger sister died 500 years ago her followers have wavered slightly, unsure if she truly had 0 involvement with the disappearance of Zaphan and thus she has weakened in power nor does she appear as frequently in her archon form.

Currently, she uses the human guise of Zahrah to watch over the citizens of Al Zah without fear of harassment.

### Personality

Simat Hayyi is kind and very caring, caring about every single human in Al Zah. To most people she is seen as a very wise older female due to her status as the eldest Archon. However, on the inside she is actually rather fragile, having seen many tragedies over the thousands of years she has been alive. She tries her best to ensure that her people live comfortable lives with plenty of fertile land to grow food and prosper.

### Appearance

Simat Hayyi is often depicted as a female with long dark green hair that has been braided as well as her bangs. She is depicted to wearing a black robe that has been cut to tie into a ribbon at the neck. Her eyes are not often shown open in artwork however presumably her eyes are also green, similar to the element that she represents.

People in accounts have called her quite beautiful and mature, which probably also helped her gain followers in the beginning

## Story

### History

Simat Hayyi lived in the area surrounding what would become Alnascat, the capital of Al Zah. In the beginning she was nothing out of the ordinary, a simple god that walked amongst humans and was known for her beauty and wise advice. Land in the formation of Al Zah was fragile and it wasn't out of the ordinary for the country to be hit again and again with natural disasters. Humans became desperate, begging Simat Hayyi for help as it was clear soon they would die of famine. So, Simat Hayyi used her powers to create Al Zah a lush and abundant place.

When the Archon War broke out, Simat Hayyi wished to protect the land she helped created so they didn't have to have to go through further disasters. Though Zahrah insists that she didn't really do all to much fighting to get a seat among Celestia, considering she was the first to earn a seat it is heavily implied she is lying.

Following the Archon War, Simat Hayyi arranged new rules to be set in place and asked the assistance of the Ankwa to ease the tension and help rebuild from any damage that the war had caused. However, the Ankwa soon became greedy and began to doing more harm than good to Al Zah, forcing Simat Hayyi to seal them away to the Abyss as to not do further damage.
