The sin of Wrath is finished!

Name: Lyssa

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her

Species: Cinnabar moth

Sin: Wrath

Lyssa is cursed with the sin of Wrath, which means she has great anger and seek vengeance and punish someone.

Lyssa has her own cult and allows anyone who can show their anger and prove their desire to fight can join.

While Lyssa encourages the followers to let the anger consume them, she also encourages to only attack and kill the non believers, but it can be difficult especially for her followers can over taken by the sin of Wrath and starting to hurt or kill one another. So to prevent them from hurting each other, Lyssa will bring her followers to crusade, and find villages of non believers that refuse to join her cult and destroy their homes and steal their materials and food (similar to the Rite of Wrath ritual). After the attack, Lyssa absorbs the sin from their followers and gain more power.

Lyssa' relationship with her followers:

Lyssa can be stern and straight to the point when discussing plans with her followers. She struggles to show affection so she comes off cold. But if she likes a certain follower, she may give them armour, weaponry or necklaces (gifting is her way of showing affection). Other than that, she mostly sees them as "Servants".

When talking to her followers or practice fighting, she tries to remain calm, making sure she doesn't get possessed by sin and hurt others. But if anyone decides to argue or fight Lyssa, she's not afraid to show her teeth and put them in their place.

She will allow her followers to fight each other as long it's fair. But if one follower loses, she let's them get killed (depending on the follower).

While she let's any followers to join her most favourites are wolves and dogs. Mainly because she believes they're more obedient and better at guarding her cult.

Other notes:

Lyssa is more likely to lose energy and power if she lashes out and shows anger. It's why she has to remain calm unless something or someone is attacking her cult.

Her main weapons are usually her axe and flail. But she can also use her long tongue as a whip due to losing her old tongue for sin of Wrath.

Despite anger, Lyssa and become emotional to the point tears will come down, thinking about her past friend. She wears an helmet, not only for protection, but to hide her vulnerability.

Lyssa doesn't trust anyone expect her disciple, who helps her to calm down (her disciple is a dog) and is the only one to see what Lyssa looks like under the helmet.

Outside of fighting, Lyssa likes to find a quiet place to relax. She mostly prefers sitting near a cliff to look at the view, or the meadows and look at the flowers.

It may not seem like it, but she has a soft spot for flowers. She loves the smell of them. It reminds her of simpler times, before the curse.

She also the flute and finds certain music comforting.

A nice story for you. My mum and I found this beautiful cinnabar struggling to move on the pavement, she's completely unable to fly. I carried them home and made a makeshift house for an overnight stay. This morning, I found out I'll be looking after her babies too ❤️
