Sakuhime

A goddess of spring that rose to power from the ruins of the island of Tenrai. Sakuhime ascended to godhood following the events of Izayoi. Her ascension is the subject of much suspicion, but many refugees from Tenrai have begun to worship Sakuhime as a connection to their lost homeland. As such, she has gathered a significant following despite being a new deity.

History
Sakuhime was a highly respected figure on the island of Tenrai even before her apotheosis. She was an ancient dryad who inhabited the Daizakura, the great cherry blossom tree. Her council was heeded by all the island's inhabitants, as her reputation for wisdom was surpassed by none.

When the progress of Izayoi seemed inevitable, it was Sakuhime who drove back the darkness and stopped the island's downfall. The resulting surge in worshipers allowed her to ascend.
