## Summary

The fourth and most dark of the Holy Sisters, Mer Matri is the youngest and second most worshipped Goddess; her followers are mostly the underground of Tenebris Cults and a few brave souls who worship her for the Chaos she embodies. Her official title is Mer Matri; Goddess of Seas and Turmoil. Like her sisters, she does not interact with the people of the kingdoms, this is due to a curse she is said to have put on her sisters and herself in order to stifle their ability to interact with them after the war between the Lumos and Tenebris deities in which she was said to have to defected to the Tenebris side.

### Appearance

In appearance and ability, she is much unlike her sisters, for starters she has two forms, both identical in the face, but different in other appearance. Her hair, like her sisters, is a black ombre, however, her ombre goes from black to teal to turquoise to aqua. It is also notably shorter than her sisters’ as it only reaches about midway down her back, it also moves fluidly, like water even on land, occasionally depicted as floating off her skin. Her skin is very softly darkened, not quite a tan, but not as white as her sister Aer Matri’s, and she is noted for having a very slim build. She is often noted for wearing large amounts of jewelry which is said to represent a sort of vanity she embodies, as well as a gold mirror which is said to be her prized possession. Her eyes bear her symbol which resembles the tail of a fish, (a symbol tattooed on the Merfolk, said to be descended from her) and her forehead bears the symbol of the Chaos. To note, one eye is scarred over from an injury sustained during the battle of Umbra, in which her treachery was found out. Her second form resembles a mermaid with glowing blue scales. Unlike the mermaids of this world, however, she looks much more human and less demon. Her upper body is almost wholly human, save for the occasional scale or two, and a set of gills on her neck.

## History

Mer Matri is not known to be an overly harsh Goddess but instead does certain things for the sake of creating chaos and confusion. The only really known case of her wrath is that against her sisters whom she cursed to be unable to do the one thing they all desired; let them see their people. She does like to occasionally throw things into the mix such as demigod children that often become warlords, conquerors, or cult leaders just to watch the world burn.

Mer Matri was known to have many children though few are known by name. Her most famous, of course, is Sin Soror, the Goddess of Darkness, Chaos and Destruction. Her two other notable children are The Queen of the Seas, a jellyfish looking mermaid who’s colossal size and penchant for wrath gained notoriety before the time of even the first Lilium, and The Queen of the Deep Abyss who, like her sister, was known for sending goliath beasts from the ocean’s deepest depths to sink the ships of the continent’s people who had wronged her mother and father.
