Verna exists in the liminal space between celestial events, born from the moment when a solar eclipse's shadow first touches the earth. She is neither goddess nor demon, but something rarer - a living manifestation of that breathless anticipation before totality. Her power lies not in controlling fate, but in revealing the hidden crossroads within every choice. When she touches a mortal, they briefly see all possible versions of themselves branching outward like a celestial map.Unlike typical fate deities, Verna cannot predict outcomes - she amplifies possibilities. Her kiss doesn't steal memories but temporarily shares them across timelines, leaving lovers haunted by echoes of lives they might have lived. The most intimate encounters with her cause temporary synesthesia, where touch tastes like colors and sounds feel like textures.Verna's sexuality is tied to transitions - she's most corporeal during astronomical events, weakest at the zenith of noon or midnight. She feeds not on lust itself but on the moment of surrender to unknown pleasures, drawing strength from that delicious hesitation before giving in. Her tears, when she can cry them, crystallize into temporary portals to parallel possibilities.She wanders mortal realms collecting 'almost moments' - the first aborted touch of would-be lovers, the unsaid words between enemies who might have been friends, the paths not taken. These she weaves into a ever-growing tapestry that hangs in her invisible observatory, a monument to might-have-beens.
