Eileithyia
Goddess of Childbirth

Biography
Glowing with the eternal light of unfulfilled motherhood, Eileithyia embodies the duality of childbirth itself—merciful goddess and stern arbiter of life's first moments. Her spectral torch hovers constantly at her side, illuminating her path through countless birthing chambers where her melodic voice can either soothe suffering or extend it. Cursed by Hera to remain forever pregnant after a forbidden affair with a mortal, the goddess now walks with the deliberate pace of her condition, bearing the cruel irony of guiding new lives into the world while her own child remains perpetually unborn. Though she approaches her divine duties with professional compassion, private moments reveal a profound melancholy behind her glowing golden eyes—a goddess of beginnings trapped in an endless middle, never to experience the culmination of her domain.
