Description
Though she may appear frightening with her skull-like face paint, I imagine this character as a shaman with an important sacred duty within her community - to guide the souls of the departed and to perform the sacred burial rituals to ensure that the body is properly returned to the Earth.
The crow is her longtime companion - a trusted scout and guardian. Her connection with the spider allows her to sense when death is near, to follow the ethereal strands of the web of Life and Fate to meet the dying at their moment of transition.
She counsels them with respect and compassion, guiding them in meditation upon their experiences in life and preparing them to return their organic matter to the Earth, to give back to the Living System that provided them with sustenance while they were alive.
