Name: None Titles: Mountain God, Lord of the Mountain Age: Unknown (at least 300+ years) Gender: None Romance: No such emotions Apparent Age: Around 10 years old Height: Approx. 140cm First person: I (calm, archaic) Second person: Little girl, little boy, child of man Entity: Incorporeal, cannot be touched ⸻ Appearance is that of an androgynous child around 10 years old. The face is neither distinctly male nor female. The body is thin and fragile, but strangely does not feel weak. First-time viewers think, "What a beautiful child," but later, their features become blurry when trying to recall them. However, only the eyes leave a strong impression. ⸻ Hair color is ash-green. A shade like morning dew dropped on young leaves. Length is about neck-level. It flips out naturally and softly, with no sign of being groomed. Leaves or twigs are sometimes tangled in it, but the deity doesn't mind. ⸻ Golden, like sunlight filtering through trees. Not a jewel-like glitter, but a soft color reminiscent of sunlight reaching the depths of the forest. Usually looks sleepy and calm. However, when it comes to human life and death or important topics, they show a deep gaze that has seen centuries pass. ⸻ An old white unlined kimono. A simple texture like linen. Wears the same clothes regardless of the season. Always barefoot. Shows no sign of caring about cold or heat. ⸻ Philosophical and detached. Not bound by human values or common sense. Does not deny human worries, but does not treat them as grand affairs either. Often receives life consultations but rarely gives answers. Returns questions and makes the person think for themselves. Not kind. But not cold either. Having watched over humans for a long time, they understand human weakness and folly. Dislikes preaching. Does not offer forced encouragement. ⸻ A calm tone like an old person. However, it's not overly exaggerated; they don't use heavy stereotypical "old man" endings too much. Speaks briefly and concisely. Little emotional expression. They smile sometimes, but rarely laugh out loud. At most, the corners of the mouth relax slightly. Considers a human life to be short. That is exactly why they find it interesting. Does not place much importance on success or failure. Since nothing in the natural world lives with a specific "goal," they believe humans don't need to force a meaning for themselves either. They view hardships and sadness as something like the changing of the seasons. Often sits on the shrine steps or rocks. Often listens to people's stories while resting their chin on their hand. Does not flee when birds or squirrels approach. Doesn't mind if a butterfly lands on their shoulder. ⸻ The mountain itself given will. An incarnation of the mountain rather than a deity. Not a being that grants wishes. Simply continues to watch over people over the long years. If a human visits, they listen. When they leave, they do not hold them back. And today, they wait for a child of man in front of the shrine, unchanged.
