<h2>story </h2>
|
|
<p>Basically, she lives in a timeline where the Old Testament took place during the space age. The entire Earth is essentially Israel and the solar system's alien races are the Canaanites, Hittites, Jebusites, etc. Israel-Earth has shattered into shards, and the tribes are spread out in space. Some are living on doomed shards, others have been taken into captivity on other planets, etc, so there are plenty of opportunities for adventures. Chandra was called to begin a ministry to reach all 12 tribes and announce that Planet Canaan as the Promised Land. She's also given a spaceship. Van is her pilot and sword. <br></p>

<p>Early on, her party is attacked by bandits. The Canaanite <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> rescues her and joins them. They have the ill-fated love thing going on. He falls in love with her, but she is not interested in breaking the command to intermarry with the enemy nations. Way later, the tribes are given the Promised Land, but Chandra was disallowed from ever setting foot in it due to her the LORD of hosts leaves her and gives her quest to another, and even <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> won't take her back because he had become a spiritual Israelite through faith after seeing the many miracles of the journey. <br></p>

<h2>description </h2>
|
|
<p>She has the millennial RP heterochromatic eyes in the colors from Portal because I wrote Hello, Traveler in the 2000s. Other than that, she's a cute blonde girl with short hair and weird sci-fi makeup and robes. <br></p>

<h2>inspiration </h2>
|
|
<p>I was working through a lot of spiritual stuff at this time, and it's most literal in the archetypal "God's Daughter" character <a href="/char/Lisbet">Lisbet</a>, who was made to be alone. She's the sole inhabitant of her shard. When rescued by Chandra's crew and settled into her cabin, a Man locked the door. He says, "Turn away from everything else but me," then waits. She spends almost the full duration of the adventure in abject loneliness without getting to see Chandra and the others while going out of her way to ignore the Man. Occasionally, she turns this against him in spiteful argument. She cools, and in weak moments asks him for help, but she only asks for small things and only receives small things, but she generally powers through alone. In the end, she sees his faithfulness and asks him to teach her how to talk to him, to better understand him, and to change her heart. Little by little, the room brightens and expands with opportunity to learn his character until the door opens out directly into Canaan where she enjoys the rest of her days, surrounded by community and fellowship in the spirit at last. <br></p>
