Appearance –

Personality – Suwako is a relaxed elder god.

In general, and when in a vacuum, she is a shameless character who likes to take it easy and relax. she is not bothered by most situations, but can get childish over simple things - like not being given delicious food, or being called short. all the same, she tends to live with a certain relaxed air and is usually into making a few smart alec comments and shooting the breeze. As a Japanese native god, she's disposed to being cheerful and enjoys screwing around and loafing.

Underneath that all, however, she's still an age old tyrant who once held the land in an iron fist. this has resulted in an absolutely morbid sense of humor and an occasional temper issue if she feels personally slighted or humiliated. She can quickly show all the rage and spite that an older god can muster, but as a trickster type, moreso than one who relies on force, this comes off with a lot less high-pitched yelling and a lot more "finding out which organ is your favorite, and deciding to take it from you." As this might imply, Suwako can be very sadistic and enjoy causing pain to those who wronged her.

Additionally, she loves frogs. people who cause harm to them will lower Suwako's opinion of them drastically. Same with the hat - if it get dissed or destroyed she'll be very miffed.

While generally good-natured to anyone, Suwako despises those who disrespect the gods, and the nature around them, as a part of nature. She also somewhat distrusts anything soulless, with the exception of giant robots (mainly due to helping build one).

Possible Reactions – Suwako is a cautious strategist. when confronted with any situation, the first thing she'll try to figure out is a way to turn it to her advantage. the second thing is if she can do anything fun with this situation, as she's an old immortal. As she's joined the competition to stealthily look for worship, she'll also usually be trying to pose for cameras and generally look cool. Outside of that, she's very "all-in" when it comes to life. when she finds food, she'll dig in with no manners. When she's got a comfy bed, she'll bounce on it and then sleep in it. she's a childish sort, but she'll take everything wholeheartedly.

As far as people: she'll be cautious with anyone seeming to be particularly morbid or 'evil', but she won't have a problem, necessarily. she just trusts them less. She respects humans for their roles in creating gods but still looks at them as lesser beings - ones that need to respect her, but also to be protected. Non-humans are on more of an even playing field, and she'll treat them with less condescension, particularly if they're similar age. In general, she'll get along well with quieter types, and she can be annoyed by too much energy, but she usually appreciates very genuine people who are honest about their motivations - regardless of morality - over more dishonest or stand-offish types.

Relationships – Suwako knows almost no one in DA, but Yuuka Kazami she has met in a previous life. As a fellow gensokyan, and an honest one, Suwako techncially likes her personality... but due to her offensive rhetoric, will be more interested in planting a well-deserved foot in the gut of this overconfident youkai who dares talk down to a god so casually.

‘Combat’ Style – Suwako is a Cunning foe when it comes to combat most times - she's always goign to be looking for an opportunistic way to enter combat, and if she sees any opportunities to strike, she'll take them mercilessly, without a second thought. at the same time, She's not the most interested in losing battles, and will gracefully retreat when the odds aren't in her favor. she's the type to defend her allies when it suits her, but if it's better to cut and run than to die together, she'll make the choice of self-preservation in a heartbeat. After all, who's going to avenge her allies if she's dead?

Eligible Abilities
Froglike Reflexes
Effects: Agility rank 1 | 200 essence
Modifiers: None
Suwako possesses an incredibly level of agility, even while groggy from the sudden transition to Multerra. Between her long age, her status as a warrior god, and the fact she just really loves hoppin' around like a frog, she's gotten pretty nimble!

God-speed
Effects:
Speed 2 | 400 essence
Modifiers:
ongoing | 200 essence
Suwako Has got quite the speedy legs for what is usually a patient level of movement. she can move startlingly quick in short bursts, but is far too lazy to do it until her life depends on it. thus, the Frog girl has a penchant for turning from tortoise to rabbit when slowly hopping around is no longer an option

Godly Essence
Effects:
Adaptation: Incredibly hot environments (100 essence)
Adaptation: Incredibly cold environments (100 essence)
Suwako as a god has lordship over the earth - therefore, even the hottest magma or coldest ice has little effect on her, at least atmospherically. for What could a god of the land have to fear from a little chill or a hot day?
It won't stop her from complaining her ice cream has melted, though.

Amphibious
Effects:
Adaptation: Need to breathe (200 essence)
Limited modifier: Only when breathing water (-50 essence)
Suwako can breathe underwater, much like a frog. or a sea snake. She sure does share a lot of snakelike qualities, and after all controls snakelike beings. she's really milking the frog theme for some reason anyways.
This only counts for being in water, though, so that she can breathe the water. it won't stop someone from choking her, from something in her throat cutting off her air supply (other than water), For high altitudes to cause her to get lightheaded, or for a vacuum to leave her a little light on the "Alive" side. It just lets her breathe water.

Godly Strength
Effects: Damage 2 (200)
Suwako mostly uses her rings and other abilities, but as a god, she does hit harder than her small frame would lead anyone to believe, her strength equivalent to her faith rather than her muscles if it comes to close quarters. Suwako's not one to quit in an average bar-brawl.

Land Shark
Effects: Movement - ground swimming
Suwako can effortlessly enter the ground beneath her and swim through it like it was land! It makes it very simple for her to move around.

Mountain God's Domain
Effects:
Variable Creation 2 :400 essence
---Concentration (-100)
-Damage 3: 300
---concentration(-150)
-Protection 3: 300
---Concentration (-150)
Descriptor: Suwako is a creature of the earth who's powers derive from a command of "earthiness". As such, she has a natural command of the land around her. While her powers have shrunk to a tiny fraction of her true power, she can still manage to put enough "oomph" into a rock or two to make them follow her wishes. Even so, she can make the ground form whatever she needs at the moment to do her bidding, allowing her to act similarly to an earthbender and make the rock follow her version of reality. Though for now, it seems she can only do this in the tiniest of forms.
Essence Cost: 600

Make Like a Tree

Effects: Damage 2 | 200
Modifiers:
Ranged - +100
Indirect - +200
Suwako uses her power over divinity to create - very temporary - life. Sprouting a seed underneath her enemy's heels, causing it to bloom, and creating a very temporary tree that rapidly sprouts into being underneath them. it only grows up to around 8 feet, but it's enough to cause a deadly surprise for those who underestimate the Small Spirit's wrath.
Extra – Suwako's hat is named pyon-ta. She has a long tongue and usually makes no attempt to actually conceal it in her mouth. She has a habit of switching between talking like a young girl to disarm people and an older grumpy woman when she stops bothering. Likes eating flies.

Quotes
“...Yakumo, I’m going to curse you so hard your wrinkles get wrinkles!”​
“I’ve heard that nowadays, you humans like to praise your god in their last moments. If that’s true for you, feel free to bow~”​
“Well, it’s… nice to meet you all. I haven’t had a regular conversation in days. Seems like all the fish wanna say is ‘blub-blub’, and if you think that’s boring conversation, you should meet the people!”​

Threads/Post - https://multerra.zulenka.com/index....rking-light-in-the-darkness-of-the-abyss.748/ this is all I can really give you at the moment - it's the thread I got to after really figuring out how to write the character the way I wanted to.
