"Tracker"
“The Tracker” is a sinister Old Goddess who hunts alongside her brood, a chain of bloodhound-like creatures she calls her children. Once she picks up the scent of blood, nothing can stop her pursuit. When her prey is found, she performs chilling, ceremonial rituals to “purify” the blood before feasting with her children. Blue orchids—her signature flower—always bloom wherever her power manifests. Her fall into Old Godhood came when mortal rangers, no longer dependent on her guidance, turned instead to Fasteus god of the Hunt and Harvest, leaving her without followers.
Formerly known as Dahlia, goddess of Blood & Ceremony.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Once revered by hunters and rangers seeking divine aid in the pursuit of prey, Dhalia was abandoned as mortals grew more skilled and turned to Fasteus. Her divine power faded, and her body warped into the horrifying form of “The Tracker,” a predator bound only to her rituals and her endless hunt.
Intellectual Characteristics
Predatory cunning, ritualistic, manipulative, calculating, and unnervingly patient.
Morality & Philosophy
Sees life as nothing more than prey and ritual, believing all blood must be “purified” before it can be consumed. Life’s purpose is to feed the hunt and the ceremony.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To hunt, to ritualize, and to feed eternally, ensuring her brood never starves and her ceremonies never cease.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes: Blue orchids, blood, ceremonial dances, the thrill of the hunt, obedient prey.
Dislikes: Fire, open sunlight, prey that fights to the last breath, Fasteus and his followers.
Virtues & Personality perks
Relentless tracker, master of ceremonial magic, can mask her presence with blooming blue orchids, commands a brood of loyal hounds.
Vices & Personality flaws
Overly ritualistic (often wastes time in ceremonies), cannot refuse the scent of fresh blood (even if it leads to danger), obsessed with her orchids (destroys anything that harms them).
Personality Quirks
Always hums a low, droning chant when near prey, leaves trails of blue orchids in her wake, and tilts her head unnaturally when observing mortals.
