Description

First off, TL;DR copypasta from FA:

For the most part, Moth enjoys her job as Goddess of the Dragon Underworld. She's well respected, magic powers and immortality are good benefits, and guiding the dead to the afterlife can prove to be an interesting experience. Unfortunately, her job gets pretty boring, as dragons are long lived creatures and don't die very often.

So to pass the time? She ventures up to Earth to fuck with the mortals, like any good deity would do.

She's a bit like The Devil and a djinn combined-- she'll grant you a wish, so long as you're willing to part with your soul. Though what most people don't know is that you don't have a soul, you are a soul; you have a body. Once you've made your wish you're then hers to be devoured, never to be taken to the afterlife or reincarnated (and she can eat any soul, not just that of dragons). Moth has very little sympathy for those willing to give up something as precious as their soul on a (often stupid) wish.

---

Old character spawned from when I was told by someone that in Christianity, animals do not go to heaven. Even though I know that's not a universal Christian belief now, it made me sad when I heard it many years ago, so I thought "What if each species has a different god/gods and afterlife and so on?" As a dragon-obsessed kid I made up a 'cast' of characters for the idea, Moth being one of them... I just never could think of a good design for her until just recently.

How many seconds in eternity? That the living could squander a moment so precious is but to spit in their own hourglass, and so shall their being be erased from the annuls of history, from the endless possibility of years to come. Life is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness, how brightly it shines is yours to decide, but shine it will but a single time.
