Name: Cosine (Kosina)
Domain: Number
Title: The Counting Crow
Date of Rebirth:
Age: Looks as though in her late teens/very early 20s.
Skintone: Pale, has almost a greenish tinge to it.
Eye Color: A piercing bright green.
Hair Color: Black, in the light it shines green like a bird’s wing.
Height: A little below average for a woman. Her host was tiny and she didn’t grow more than a few inches during morphing.
Appearance: Merged with her Vietnamese host Cosine has the appearance of an Asian woman, she could be easily mistaken for a mortal if it wasn’t for her wings. They are black, like a crow’s with green vectors that swirl around them. Her hair is black until the light hits it, then it shines with a green tint much like a bird’s wing. Her pale skin also possesses a slight greenish tint.
She favours floor length dresses made of light material. Think Grecian style, simple, empire line and floaty. She prefers blocks of colour to patterns. Her clothes tend to be of one colour, maybe with a band of silver or gold under the bust. Her hair is usually down and falls just past her shoulders. If it is up she wears it in a simple bun, most likely with a few strands falling loose.
Cosine wears no jewellery and likes to wander about the apartment in bare feet. When venturing outside she wears simple slippers or sandals. Her only ornament is a charm made of feathers and wood that she wears attached to a front strand of hair. This is –never- removed.
Quote:
wooden beads in form of sun charms with crow feathers hooked to it in an ornamental fashion.
Some costume inspiration.

Personality: Becoming a morph on the eve of Gehenna Cosine has had to learn a lot about herself. She has grown in confidence and independence, no longer needing to hide behind others to gain strength. She is friendly and polite with a rather reserved public face and a quick smirk when amused.
In private she is much more relaxed and free with emotions. Her private life is very much private, even to friends.
Cosine likes children, especially her honourary niece Lacrymosa whom she will happily spend hours exploring with and teaching counting rhymes.
She can often feel unsure of herself and her position. This can lead to missed opportunities.
Family: Her immediate family is her twin brother Arctang. Their rebirth and his disappearance has caused a bit of a rift between them. Hopefully they will grow closer as they become reacquainted.
Cosine cohabits with Ankou, the god she is closest to. She likes whiling away time with him, be it lounging around talking or reading in silence whilst he works.
In addition to Ankou she considers Echo, Nergal and their children part of her family. They helped her host and in turn her when she needed them most. She would do anything for them in return.
Likes: Reading (she has a secret love of trashy romances), working in the gardens of the Pantheon, cookies, number games, children, crows, Kou, music.
Dislikes: Lateness, the state of the universe, violence, rudeness, having personal space invaded by strangers.
Powers:
One - By invoking this power, Cosine can create a feeling of Sorrow in the target or cause one minor sad event to occur in their future
Two - By invoking this power, Cosine can create a feeling of joy in the target or cause one minor joyous event to occur in their future

Lien grew up in Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam. At the age of 12 she was sold into the sex trade by her father. From there she was taken to Japan where she worked under a smalltime gangster by the name of Masaru Nakamura.
After escaping Nakamura she found herself wandering the world of Destruction. She received the stone from a strange bird and was found by Nergal. He took her to the house of Echo where she remained until Cosine finally consumed her on the eve of Gehenna.

Cosine shares a room with Ankou, the Spirit Guide.
The rooms of the Spirit Guide in the Pantheon lay behind the door that is marked with a field of forgive-me-not, over which flies a crow and a vulture, each with a burning candle. It is quite a bit larger than the space in between the doors in the outside hall would indicate. It has been re-organized recently (not yet icly, though ! here's the old one if you need to refer to it) to better fit the needs of those who live within.
* The door leads directly to large hallway, which leads directly to the common room. The common room is rather large, and serves as a relaxation space, a dining room and a kitchen all in one for the multiple occupants. The furniture is now new and matching dark wood. The common room, as well as every room in this space, have a dark hard wood floor as well.
* There are now more rooms reserved for the aoidei - Jinx and Anima are no longer sharing, and each of Cosine's aoidei now have their own space.
* The most noticeable thing was that the layout basically flipped - the balcony now connects to the common room, rather than the master bedroom, making it more accessible by anyone, and providing more natural light, whenever such a thing will actually return.
* The bedroom is now the second largest room, though still rather large in size. It is restricted sorely to Ankou and Cosine unless the aoidei are allowed in. It processes a rather large bed, as well as some bookshelves.
* Ankou and Cosine now both have a space all of their own. Cosine has her office, and Ankou has a side room to do carving and... whatever else in.
* Leading outside, there is a balcony, with a large glass door acting as both door and the biggest window all three top rooms, with curtains. On the side of the balcony there are small encolves and perchs made of scrap woods for crows to perch at, and nest.

A Gift Fit For a Cat
Having received the key to the treasury door, a lattice, double gate of diamond and moonstone on the right up the stairs to Harmodius' own wing of the shop, the Counting Crow must find a gift fit for some queenly goddess she does not know.
1 solo going up and finding the doors and treasury. If you want inspiration, think the treasure room scene in the movie Legend, only HUGE. Or the treasure room in The Mummy. Platforms and platforms of piled money and jewels, statues and ceramics, weapons, clothes, tapestries, wines, anything and everything mundane and magical of worth.
-How does Cosine feel about having to go where no other god has really yet gone, to Destruction's own wing?
-Cosine's reaction to all the riches at first, then to the realization that she has to sort through it all O______O''
At least 2 posts, solo or joint, sifting through the stuff. Have fun with it! Make up items! I want you to flex your creative muscles on what wonders would be in the hold of the Twin Crown. Cosine's reactions to all this, her thoughts and feelings, so on and so forth.
At least one joint with Destruction, bring him the item. Present it to him, and reasons why Cosine thinks it would be the gift that he desires.
