Other Names
Common title
Naásh Feramil is a force of warmth and community that exceeds the bonds of blood or the limits of mortal understanding. She has many faces, each one reflecting a different aspect of her divine nature and the many roles she plays in the lives of mortals. Most often she will appear as a dusty-coloured cat, casually lounging in a yard with the lazy grace of a creature who knows she is loved and protected, her presence bringing comfort and the promise of home to all who see her.
Other times she will take the form of a slender maiden dressed in a cloth apron as if busy with house work, her hands always moving with the efficient grace of one who has tended to the needs of others for countless ages. Only her golden, catlike eyes hint at her divine nature, gleaming with the wisdom of a goddess who has watched over families since the first hearth was lit.
Then again at other times she will take the form of an old lady who goes around sharing food, often with the less fortunate, her weathered hands offering not just sustenance but the warmth of human kindness and the reminder that no one should ever go hungry or unloved.
Her presence brings with it the warmth of the hearth and the certainty that family will always find a way to care for its own.
