The Garden
Ithilyia
About
Ia is abstract. There is something hauntingly lovable about her, and yet, there is nothing there to love. She is fleeting, chilling. Her presence is commanding and mesmerizing, yet she brings with her a calming energy that wards off any evils. She's rarely ever seen - and if she is, she appears slightly differently to different people. Ia's being is constantly in motion, never quite pinned down to one solid form. She's not very understood - what exactly she is. She often appears to guide lost ones home, whether it be back to their family or back to themselves.
Appearance
A marble pinto horse with gold spun in her hair, Ia's appearance integrates the majesty -Â the sheen, the warmth of a living horse - with the coolness, the smoothly and expertly carved limestone of ancient civilizations. She adorns her hair with laurels and olive leaves, worn like a crown. Golden horseshoes glitter from the bottoms of her hooves, never wearing or losing their shine.
