~Introduction~
Just a little bit about the quest, and why I'm doing it, so forth.
I've been wanting an SoA goddess for quite some time, as the world will tell you. I've been pondering over several different kinds, and trying not to quest for what anybody else is.
Most of all I wanted a goddess that was extremely powerful, yet at the same time, had no real powers, if that makes any sense at all.
I stumbled across a concept while applying for Safaia's goddess concept.
Empathy.
The ability to know others thoughts, and feelings, and why they are that way. It doesn't really do any damage to anyone or anything, but it can be potentially powerful, and most wouldn't like having their 'thoughts read'.
So anyway, without further adou, the important stuff. . .

Name: Sikilizana
Meaning: Understand Each Other (or Come to an Understanding)
Gender: Female
Domain: Empathy
Stage: Cub (First Stage)
Powers:
Zana cannot actually control any of her powers. She is a feeling god only, and so for the most part, cannot harness whatever she does. A particularly strong emotion might inact a certain thing, but other than this, she is completely powerless as to how her world works.
Empathy means being able to understand the feelings of others, and that's essentially what she can do. Contrary to what some may believe she cannot read minds. This is against dusty's god rules, first off, and secondly, its completely against the themes of empathy.
Sikilizana feels the emotions, pains, and even relives traumatic events of all animals. Particularily strong emotions can travel wide distances, and if there is a thought that is constantly present on another's mind, she can sense that through a series of images that as well.
On the flip side of things, if she is feeling a certain way, she can indirectly make others take on this persona as well. Great happiness, sadness, or love can often times wear off on the person she is around.
:Appearance:
:Body Color and Shape:
Sikilizana is a very tall, long, and thin lion. She almost seems to be frail, but she contains very fluffy and curly hair and so looks more muscled than she actually is. Her base body color is white, with a cremey coat top, working its way down smoothly, so the white stays even. Coming a bit lower towards the shoulder points. (Ref when done). Her whole body is covered in lime green tribal designs, very tightly knit together.
:Mane and Tail Tuft:
Her mane is white, curly, and long, like a male's mane, but it has been braided into 4 distinct braids, two hanging over on either side. Her tail tuff is also significantly long and curly, and is also white. (You can add a few more braids and stuff, if need be, to make her look more even, and if you'd like put some feathers in her hair, as well)
Horns
Horns like a gazelle, coming up from the base of her head and curving forwards to point ahead. They are reatively small (not overpowering to the head)

:Legs, Ears, and Tail:
Zana's leg fur is elongated and has curled, so it looks like she has extra-long feathers on front and back legs. There are two ear-rings in each ear. One at the top and one at the bottom, with a chain extending from the top to the lower. A feather hangs from the lower one on the right ear. On her tail are 3 ringlets, getting larger as they go towards her body. These are also connected by chains.
:Eyes:
One eye is bright blue and the other is green.
:Wings:
One wing is feathered (feathers are very elongated) and the other is a bat wing.
:Other:
Around her neck is a beaded necklace, with three layers, connected at the top, but hanging seperate as it comes down onto her chest. Attached to this in various places are feathers.
razz ersonality:
Sikilizana can probably be considered a bipolar animal. She is very sweet and innocent most of the time, finding things quite humorous, but she goes through phases of deep depression, completely insanity, and ferocious anger.
She hates most gods with a passion, and sticks to the mortals, remaining completely undisguised as she has not yet learned the full powers of illusion. For the most part she tries to solve people's ails, and she enjoys journeying on her feet. Her hunting skills are rather pathetic, so she often trades favors for those that will get her a good meal.

~::History::~
Sikilizana is not alone in this world, she travels through it with her twin brother, the god of Apathy (Owned by Inside You I Was Reborn). However, as always, looks can be decieving, for as her brother is an adolescent, she is still a young cub. It is because of lessons she so violently learned as a youth, and came to understand that empath or not, she can never truly look into the souls and thoughts of others. . .
As youth, the two were inseperable. One went where the other travelled, and there was nothing wrong with their obvious differences. A certain understanding that occurs between twins existed between them, and despite their disgust for one another's ideas, they eventually worked things out as a young team. God or not, youth on their own have to work together, and they were no exception to this situation.
However, years pass on, as they always do, and love cannot last forever, no matter how much we'd like it to. Zana grew imaptient with her brother. For all his years of being by her side, he never once showed her the deep love and caring she gave him so much of. On top of that, her heart was being bitterly won away by a male she'd stumbled across late in the night. He'd given her food, shelter, and companionship when she'd dared to escape from her brother's cold stare. The god of Apathy had to know something was up, for she was constantly away, but youthful rationality took hold of his mind, and so he left, to find his own task in life.
Years passed, and Sakilizana felt herself freed by her brother's long absence. Her heart went from slow beat, to quickly paced, and she began to visit this male during every moment of the day - vowing to spend her life with him. She even let her illusion slide past, revealing herself as a goddess in his perfect eyes.
It was then that her brother so bitterly returned, to ruin this life he had yet forged. She screamed and protested, driving herself into a fit of rage over his idiocity. He claimed that something was amiss, the look her lover gave her was nothing of caring. She told him he wouldn't know, he had no emotion in his dark soul, and he only wished to make the world live in that same placid heartbeat. He was driven away for a short time, and long enough for the truth of one divine or another to spill out.
He was right.
For the male was crazed, and he had never seen Sikilizana as a lion, but only as a goddess, and it was well known to him that eating the heart of such a presitegious thing would grant him eternal life - and power. He whisked her away to whatever lands he could, leaving the brother far behind. He succeeded in killing her, but nothing more, for though emotionless, the God brother was not without worry, and he arrived on scene before any such atrocity could be commited.
In a fume of anger, he chased the lion to the ends of the earth, not bothering to weep just yet over the dead body of his sister. Even as this crazed lion fell to his knees and begged for mercy, the God of Apathy would give him nothing. That treacherous lion now rests forever in the sands of time, deep on the outskirts of the Firekin desert.
All was not with a loss, however, for as some gods do, Sikilizana was reborn into youth. She was the spitting image of what her brother remembered, and tough she seemed much younger, they were of the same age. As of yet, he has not found her, and so Siki travels with the goddess of Wanders, forever searching for that ache in heart she needs to replace with her twin.
