Pezuta, Goddess of Luck

Pezuta, Goddess of Luck, Good Wishes, and of Fortune, is often referred to as the "The Lady". Even Targon pays homage to her now and again. She brings luck to those who need it, though denies it sometimes as well. Her moods are fickle and she doesn't always heed the prayers of her followers. Everyone, at one time or another, has asked for her aid, since she brings good luck to those who need it, but Pezuta usually only grants such request if it will help the Balance or if it is one of her most devout followers. She usually appears as lithe woman in flashy robes or dresses with brilliant red hair and green eyes. She always carries a bag of coins and opal dice. Her favorite avatar is a merchant in Brightwater, Lucia Cointender, who owns the Happy Merchant.

Some generic roleplaying mechanics are as follows: Her Mages bare the symbol of a coin with a woman's face upon it. The Mages usually wear nice robes of bright colors. They can carry staves, daggers, or short swords.

Alignment (if your system calls for it) would be chaotic good. She only handles good luck and fortune, but she is definitely fickle when and where she hands it out.

Her followers include merchants, rogues, fortune tellers, but nearly everyone prays to her now and again.

Pezuta has created leprechauns, sprites, and fairies.

Her Mages are charged with spreading luck and fortune in the form of advice on how to handle ventures. She often houses seers in her temples so people can receive their futures if they so choose. Her temples are often huge, marble affairs with carvings of dancing, joyous people everywhere.

Her interactions with the other Gods are good, everyone likes good luck. She only fines Lokar distasteful, for death ends that streak of good luck, Dasa mean and spiteful, and Kahalla the worst of all evils. She has taken to sheltering Aiyana the best she can, and thus her followers and Mages often look after Aiyana's Mages as well.
