**Thada** was a female divine and the second in command of Semayi. She is the grandmother of Josie and Vyn, and the wife of Svjetlo. She served as the primary antagonist for the first arc of Josie's lore and was the founder and ruler of Gellis. She was assassinated by Pyry and Nishoku.

## Appearance

Thada has pale skin, comparable to snow white and and has dark blue lips and white hair. Her clothes were white with accents of blue and her eyes were a sharp piercing blue. She typically wore a long flowing dress adorned with icicles that chimed in a deadly symphony whenever she moved. She had an air of cold about her, and being in her presence was described as "chilling" and "unpleasant."

## Personality

Prior to her firstborn's untimely death, Thada was kind and compassionate. She was fiercely loyal and stood up to whoever she believed was hindering hers and her citizen's ability and freedom to be herself. She was somewhat shy and unsure of herself when she first met Svjetlo, and was extremely encouraging. As a mother she was doting, affectionate and protective. Though her personality took a turn for the worse following Conven's death. She began believing that exploration and the free expression of the self resulted in needless death. Still valuing individuality, she encouraged her citizens to pursue their passions, yet from within the confines of her protective embrace.

## Biography

Thada was created around six hundred years after Alrasid's founding, prior to the creation of the upper demons and Koto Palace's completion. Unsure of why she had been born into the world, she shyly asked Svjetlo if she could stay in Alrasid. He agreed and she began residing in Alrasid with him. She remained there until discovering the trait she valued and embodied: individuality. Unlike the other gods she was unable to survive in warm climates without physically deteriorating, so after thanking Svjetlo for his assistance, she fled to the northwest part of the continent and settled there, using ice to form the foundations of what would later become Gellis.

Upon arriving, she encountered the yuki onnas, who greeted her and welcomed her, sensing a kindred spirit. She befriended the leader at the time and began protecting them from those who perceived them as pests or monsters. Eventually, when the leader was killed, she took her place and began ruling them, allowing them to become the first citizens of Gellis. Kitsunes fled north from poachers who believed that their hair and bones held mystical properties, and upon arriving they too received Thada's protection. Later on, the yuki onnas brought with them the newly born caladriuses and thus the three native species of Gellis were established.

As the civilization began to grow and flourish, she created the classes to ensure that order was maintained. Thada presided over the nation and allowed it to grow into one of the most prosperous nations in the entire world. Eventually, she and Svjetlo fell in love, married and had two kids. The first was Conven, who Thada poured her love into. He was kind, patient and reminded her of Svjetlo. The second born was Kebero, who Svjetlo took a liking to. The two raised their children together and began grooming Conven to ascend to the throne in Alrasid. Intimidated by the promise of divine power and responsibility, Kebero asked for a mortal life, which was granted by Svjetlo.

Conven's training to take over the throne only increased at the loss of the second heir. Thada grew more protective over him once korol magic manifested. Upon discovering the consequences of the magic, strict rules were instated that the divine family thought of together. Following Conven's death, Thada was beside herself with grief, she mourned her son greatly and entirely closed Gellis off from the outside world. Love for their deity turned to fear as she became more of a dictator than a protector.

She blamed magic folk for the death of her son and sided with her friend, Idris, during the first Great War. After a decisive victory, she sealed the borders completely and killed anyone that dared come or go without her consent. This harsh dictatorship led to a small group of citizens detesting her. She was cold and distant, further from her people than she had ever been. She had decided to protect them by erecting insurmountable walls around them regardless of their own preferences.

One such person was Pyry, who had been close friends with Conven. He insisted that she was going against Conven's last wishes and attempted to sway her ways. Finding him irritating and obnoxious, she dismissed him and imprisoned him for centuries. Once free, he turned his anger onto her and assisted a magic folk (Nishoku) in infiltrating Gellis. The two began plotting Thada's demise before attempting to assassinate her. The first attempt ended in failure due to Pyry's typically flawless illusions being seen through by the Gift of Revelation. The blame was turned on the Rokas and the two hid within Gellis' borders, biding their time until they were able to strike.

The next assassination attempt was successful, and Thada was killed. Once in limbo, she was reunited with her family and her husband. She rejected her final wish, saying she didn't want to make Svjetlo's job any harder or more overwhelming than it already was.

## Abilities

* **Cyrokinesis** - Thada was able to control large amounts of ice as well as produce it. She used this to create Gellis' buildings as well as fight. During her torture session with Marnina she was shown to be able to manipulate it finely enough to send needles throughout a person's veins and obstruct their bloodflow.
* **Teleportation** - Like other gods, when given a set of coordinates she is able to transport herself there. She uses a flurry of snowflakes to do so.
* **Possession** - Thada was capable of large scale possession, able to create a sort of hive mind by controlling nearly every member of Gellis by exerting her possession within a large fixed radius.

## Trivia

* Thada wasn't originally meant to die.
* She was one of the original gods of Semayi.
* Like Svjetlo, Thada has some sort of control over her consciousness, as she was able to influence others using it by planting it in certain objects, like the necklaces.
