History


   Dylana is the youngest daughter of the life goddess Saoirse and her mortal mate Davi. Although she was raised in the Viridian Tangle among people like her sisters and the banshees who would give their lives to protect it, Dylana always longed to see what lay beyond the jungle's borders. Her parents recognized this and encouraged her curiosity about the outside in spite of their allegiance to the Tangle itself. When Dylana was old enough to fend for herself, she left the Tangle and wandered Velukaelo for years, sightseeing and observing the people. Of all the things she saw, the ocean intrigued her the most and she found herself coming back to it time and time again. It was there she met a mysterious sea god named Susanoo (affectionately called "Snoo" by Dylana), who she came to find was an otherworldly creature like the mates of Hyperion and Garoch.

Though powerful, Susanoo was very ill due the conditions of his home ocean. Against his wishes, Dylana took a shine to him and began to follow him everywhere, questioning him about his home as well as trying to help minimize the symptoms of his sickness. Susanoo eventually grew to accept Dylana and began to treat her as a student, teaching her all she wished to know about the ocean. It wasn't long before the odd pair was noticed by the goddess Nanai, who was the guardian of all of Velukaelo's oceans at the time. Seeing Dylana's love for the ocean and recognizing her divine ancestry, Nanai offered to share governance over the waters in order to lighten her own workload. Dylana accepted and, with the blessing of the Titans, ascended to the status of a full-fledged goddess.

Even after accepting her new role, and his return to his home planet, Dylana continued her relationship with Susanoo, which turned into a romantic one as she grew older. As a goddess, Dylana has been known to provide ships with favorable conditions when given offerings. There are even times where she has rescued sailors who have fallen overboard.
