Nu Wa (女媧) - Chinese Goddess
Nu Wa is a highly referenced goddess in Chinese mythology, often playing many roles. Depending on the myth, "she" is responsible for being a wife, sister, man, tribal leader (or even emperor), creator or maintainer. Most myths, however, present Nu Wa as female in a procreative role after a calamity.
One of her most prominent roles was that of repairing and maintaining the Wall of Heaven - There was a quarrel between two of the more powerful gods, and they decided to settle it with a fight. When the water god saw that he was losing, he smashed his head against a pillar holding up the sky. The pillar collapsed and caused the sky to tilt towards the northwest and the earth to shift to the southeast. This caused great calamities, such as unending fires, vast floods, and the appearance of fierce man-eating beasts. Nu Wa cut off the legs of a giant tortoise and used them to supplant the fallen pillar, alleviating the situation and sealing the broken sky using stones of seven different colours, but she was unable to fully correct the tilted sky. This explains the phenomenon that sun, moon, and stars move towards the northwest, and that rivers in China flow southeast into the Pacific Ocean.
Her other prominent role was that of creation - Nu Wa created men from yellow clay, sculpting each one individually, yet after she had created hundreds of figures in this way she still had more to make but had grown tired of the laborious process. So instead of crafting each figurine by hand, she used a rope and dipped it into the clay. Flicking it, many blobs of clay were strewn across the land and each one became a human.

Looks like a nice base, but I can't approve this until you give me more than a paragraph about the goddess. Can you be more specific about her?

Added more info... She had more than one role that she personified, but I'm using the repairing part as the focus.

You've added more info, but it's still not pertinent. You've chosen a goddess, but what we want to see is why this goddess is in the game, what sort of role she would play, what her modern interpretation would be.
However, I'll approve you. Just keep in mind that you'll need that if you want to really take this character to the next level.
