Lakshmi Goddess Lakshmi means Good Luck to Hindus. The word 'Lakshmi' is derived from the Sanskrit word "Laksya", meaning 'aim' or 'goal', and she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual. Lakshmi is the household goddess of most Hindu families, and a favorite of women. Although she is worshipped daily, the festive month of October is Lakshmi's special month. Lakshmi Puja is celebrated on the full moon night of Kojagari Purnima. The Lakshmi Form: Lakshmi is depicted as a beautiful woman of golden complexion, with four hands, sitting or standing on a full-bloomed lotus and holding a lotus bud, which stands for beauty, purity and fertility. Her four hands represent the four ends of human life: dharma or righteousness, "kama" or desires, "artha" or wealth, and "moksha" or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.Cascades of gold coins are seen flowing from her hands, suggesting that those who worship her gain wealth. She always wears gold embroidered red clothes. Red symbolizes activity and the golden lining indicates prosperity. Lakshmi is the active energy of Vishnu, and also appears as Lakshmi-Narayan - Lakshmi accompanying Vishnu. Two elephants are often shown standing next to the goddess and spraying water. This denotes that ceaseless effort, in accordance with one's dharma and governed by wisdom and purity, leads to both material and spiritual prosperity. A Mother Goddess: Worship of a mother goddess has been a part of Indian tradition since its earliest times. Lakshmi is one of the mother goddesses and is addressed as "mata" (mother) instead of just "devi" (goddess). As a female counterpart of Lord Vishnu, Mata Lakshmi is also called 'Shri', the female energy of the Supreme Being. She is the goddess of prosperity, wealth, purity, generosity, and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. A Domestic Deity: The importance attached to the presence of Lakshmi in every household makes her an essentially domestic deity. Householders worship Lakshmi for the well being and prosperity of the family. Businessmen and women also regard her equally and offer her daily prayers.On the full moon night following Dusshera or Durga Puja, Hindus worship Lakshmi ceremonially at home, pray for her blessings, and invite neighbors to attend the puja. It is believed that on this full moon night the goddess herself visits the homes and replenishes the inhabitants with wealth. A special worship is also offered to Lakshmi on the auspicious Diwali night. Taken from Hinduism.about.com

Padma Full Name: Padma Mishra Meaning of Name: Padma means lotus flower. Birth Date: October 26 Age: 11 (started the game at 10) Appearance: Hair Color: dark brown Hair Style: Long, tied back with ribbon Eye Color: gold Skin Tone: light brown/dark tan? Any Scars or Distinguishing Marks: 4 arms; jewel on the forehead Build or Body Type: slender Height: 4'9" Personality: For someone who should be a spoiled conceited child, she rather seems to have missed the memo. She is surprisingly unconceited for someone who has been treated as the reincarnation of a goddess her whole life. She tries to see the best in everyone, but she isn't naive enough to believe it, and doesn't quite understand people. She is unsure of how to deal with them, and will remain quiet until she has figured out the best way to respond. She has a tendency to speak out loud when she's both thinking and talking with her goddess, but most of the time she is unaware that she is doing it.

Her Background Padma was born to a large Hindu family in Middling. She only has two siblings, Isha, and Yash, both brothers, but the family more than makes up for it in aunts, uncles, and cousins. Her home is only one of the multiple homes in the Indian Quarter of Middling, and she spends just as much time at the neighboring homes of her relatives as she does her own. She was born with all four arms fully formed, causing the family to decide that she was the reincarnation of one of their goddesses, and was treated accordingly. They chose to home school her, and she has lessons daily, alternating what she studies between the different subjects depending on who's teaching her. Her favorite subject is history, and it doesn't hurt that her favorite aunt is the one teaching it. She has heard rumors of the game from her brothers, that there are other god marked people in the city. She isn't sure if she wants to learn more about it or not, but now that Lakshmi has revealed herself to her, it doesn't seem as if she'll have a choice.
