Character Information-

Character’s name: Shiva
Fandom: Final Fantasy X
Elementals: Ice, wind
Job: TBD assistant to Laguna
History: Shiva, the Snow Queen; alluring Empress of Ice. To incur her wrath is to feel your very heart freeze in your chest, for cold is her anger and swift her vengeance. Blizzards whirl and rage at her command.

Depicted as a fair skinned, blue haired woman, Shiva is one of three summons to appear in nearly every game in the Final Fantasy franchise. Little is known about her back-story, though in FFX it is suggested that she was a priestess who gave up her life, sacrificing her mortal body in order that her soul and fighting spirit might live on as the Aeon of Macalania Temple and in FFIX, it is mentioned that the summoners of Madain Sari first discovered Shiva in the form of a small child, who eventually grew into her more familiar, adult form. In every incarnation she is known for her agility, her Diamond Dust attack (in which she encases an enemy in ice and destroys them with a snap of her fingers), and quite often for her affection toward the one who summons her.

Shiva shares her name with the Hindu god, Shiva, or Siva. The Hindi Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him/her blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. It should also be mentioned that Shiva is a god of duality, meaning Shiva is both male and female (though more often thought of as male), as well as god of life and death. In paintings, Shiva was frequently mistaken for a woman due to his facial features and long hair, and it is believed that he also periodically destroys the world then re-creates it. There is also a possibility that the name was simply the Japanese pronunciation of the word "Shiver," in keeping with her icy nature.

Pets: none unless Laguna counts

Lj Example: I don't feel the cold, my lover, but that does not mean I am unfeeling. What troubles you this night that you will not speak to even me? Faith must go both ways...please...trust me.
Log Example: The priestess slept. Her temple lay abandoned, lost beneath cold waters for untold eons...and while she slept, she dreamed. She dreamed of the faith of brave young men and woman, of prayers screamed in desperation, or whispered in hope...but above all...above all she dreamed of love.

Love for her people that led her to give her life in order to preserve theirs, that a remnant would live on to make those dreams become reality, and love for a man who dared her to keep dreaming. Passion that would melt even the coldest of hearts--or freeze a man's heart in his chest when her anger was evoked. Tenderness enough to cradle a lost soul like a child.

It is not time for slumber, a still, small voice spoke in her inner ear, and she heard her own voice echo, “It is not yet time…” This is your story….there is still much work to do, mingled with, I don’t want to feel anymore…I just want to die, and somewhere, through the life-streams of her consciousness, she felt the others of her kind imparting their blessing as she began to drift awake. We Aeons, they charged her, just they charged those mortals who yet wait in hope, Call us. “Call me!”

And she awoke.
