History
Zephyra is a powerful spirit of the west wind. In her long existence, she has taken many names and forms. She is a lady of the Court of Winds but, in the nobility of elementals, she is removed from the mighty lords who possess Incarnalike power. Banes of the air have fouled the western winds, weakening her over the last few centuries.

Image
Zephyra appears as a female, sometimes human or wolf, often a bird of prey, sculpted of cloud and silhouetted by morning sunlight in the day and gentle moonlight at night. A low mist covers the ground around her. She never touches the dirt but glides gently just above its surface. Her eyes shine with sparks of lightning, burning brightly even when she is angry and glowing warmly when she is pleased. When she takes a human shape, she drapes herself in a transluscent gown of rainmist or wet snow. Her body coloration is white with blue shading. Any hair, fur or feathers are a deeper shade of blue, tending towards indigo.

Spiritual Correspondeces
Sea breezes which blow from the Western Ocean.

Material Correspondences
Leaves or pine needles, arranged with their stems pointing west, and high sea cliffs.

Attitude
Any being who seeks Zephyra draws her curiosity. She is patient with potential students, but she has little interest in direct involvement in conflicts.

Taboos
Zephyra will not knowingly aid faeries or their kin. Whether this is a true taboo or merely a preference of Zephyra's (due to some imagined slight or careless trick), the elemental will not state. She will not violate the domain of a water spirit or a bird spirit under any circumstance.

Chiminage
Zephyra prefers dealing with individuals who paint their bodies with wind symbols and adorn their clothing with feathers. She does not take offense easily, but considers quick words a sign of stupidity. She almost always requires aspirants who wish to learn from her to leap off a high object and trust her to save them from the fall.
