**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0025-al-aaraaf

## Snapshot

A celestial figure in Al Aaraaf, radiant with divine beauty and charged with a mission among the stars and spirits.

## Who they are

She belongs to the luminous hierarchy of Poe's heaven, a being whose beauty and authority draw the poem's angelic and elemental powers into orbit. Her tension is between celestial duty and the pull of a world of sweets and sours, where mortal flowers are merely flowers. She matters because her presence sets the early arc's celestial stakes, framing the human dramas that follow against a vast, singing cosmos.
