Jess again! This is Guanyin, the Chinese bodhisattva of compassion and mercy.
She's kind of a quiet radical, seems all sweet and sunny and benign until you remember that she once almost upended the order of existence by releasing all of her good karma at once into Diyu (hell), freeing so many imprisoned souls that the king of the dead brought her back to life just to prevent her from utterly destroying his realm. She gave up buddhahood in order to remain on Earth until all suffering had ended, and she's not going to rest until that happens.
She's living in Flushing Chinatown in Queens, where she works at a Chinese community centre and shares an apartment with a divine talking cockatoo who likes to get up in everybody's business.
As usual, wide open for plotting, backstory, etc!
