One of the Inuit goddesses. Sedna, Pukima, Tapasuma, Seqinek, or someone else.
Yeah! ^_^ I thought it would be different and interesting.
No spoilers please, luv. History?
Oh, totally forgot that! Silly me. :P So, do I remove the spoiler and just post the image?
Um... I'm kind of unclear on the history, but if Emma gives you a thumbs-up, that works for me.
I'm unclear too. There is no history really.
hm....I'm thinking. Maybe you could just say that she doesn't remember most of it, but she simply spent a lot of time with animals or something?I dunno.
Well, I went to look at some of the other deities that don't have much of a history and thought I should try to give something she did in the beginning. Or maybe I could make up my own thing?
Yeah, whichever you'd prefer I think would work :)
Then I'll make something up later. Not right now since I should work on a paper. :P

Appearance:
Description: Pinga is on the short side, standing at 4'8", having a small frame but still athletic. Her skin is smooth and clear, giving her a gentle kind face. Her eyes are a deep brown and her hair is a chocolate brown, giving her an exotic appearance. She is highly interested in the welfare of all living creatures and she likes admiring nature. Pinga is kind, warm, and sympathetic to anyone she meets and welcomes anyone to her home. Though, she does have a tough side. Pinga wouldn't hesitate to punish whoever disrespects her creatures and she would step in when she thinks a person has gone too far in mistreating a creature.
History: Her origins are mysterious, but Pinga is said to be the creator of walruses and caribou. There is a tale that speaks of a girl who lived on her lonesome after her parents died in a night. She wailed for days and nights, almost loosing the will to live. The other gods and goddesses took pity on her and so exalted her to goddess. And in her grief, she rent her clothes and with her powers of a goddess, she created creatures that have long since become companions to her. From her boots she made walruses and from her breeches, she made caribou. She dwells in a remote place where she is surrounded by herds of caribou and when her people give her the proper respect, she sends the herds and make the Inuit people prosperous. She can create the animals' free souls, but with the help of the god Sila, they are given breath-souls.
Combat: She is very skilled with a harpoon, spear, and a bow and arrow. Though Pinga hasn't necessarily fought, she is quick and has good reflexes.
Other: She has a pet seal. His name is Aputi.
