Guia

Guia is the spirit that guides the dead to their places in the Afterlife. She is the only being to have witnessed the presence of one, let alone all three, Ancient gods without going insane. She was once the god Yva, but now is simply a powerful spirit in the Gyre.

Origins
When Yva died, her soul wandered The Gyre in search of her next place in life, but could not find where she was supposed to go. She remained lost in the Gyre for two hundred years before the goddess Hayat appeared to her and gave her a compass to guide her to Jannat, the gods' afterlife. However, instead of going to Jannat to live in paradise, Yva chose to use her compass to guide others' souls through the Gyre. Hayat was impressed by Yva's selflessness and gave her a new name, Guia, and a boat that could navigate the winds of the Gyre without the need for water to aid her in assisting other spirits.

Appearance
Guia looks similar to Yva. She has the appearance of a dark-skinned woman with a pair of white and gold wings and one gold eye and one silver eye. She is tall and wears a white, floor-length hooded cloak with simple gold and silver embroidered accents. She is skeletally thin, though the cloak hides it. Beneath her cloak she wears simple white clothing.

The goddess rides in a small oak boat that she steers with her hoe, which has a handle that is taller than she is. A small cord of sleigh bells is wrapped around the top of the hoe near the blade, which don't make any noise unless she wills it. These bells can toll loud enough to deafen someone or quietly enough to barely be heard.

Guia often wears a plain white cloth wrapped around her eyes to keep herself from judging the souls she meets by their appearance. Some believe she has defeaned herself with her bells as well, as she is not known to speak. Her face is occasionally covered by a white, owl-like mask.
