Babban Mai Tsaro is a tall, beautiful woman who appears to be human except for her eyes, which are glowing a deep, rich brown color, and her extra pair of arms. Her skin is dark, her hair is light brown streaked with grey, and she wears a loose dress of maroon and magenta silk. She also wears twelve bracelets of
quickiron, each one protecting her from the evils of the world. She embodies comfort, protection, familial love, ancestral guidance, equality, and justice. She carries a staff of wood from the
World Tree and wears sandals made from the earth itself. Her heart beats echo through the world and fill those who sense them with comfort.
Each of her bracelets protects from a different evil: one for infernum, one for arnum, one for rending, one for entropy, one for void, one for msawhat, one for blasphemy, one for evil Divines, one for evil inmortals, one for misused non-infernal energies, one for pain of any kind, and one for metaphysical attacks of any kind. If she gives a bracelet to someone, they will have an aura of protection of power 100. However, most beings cannot bear the weight of these bracelets without supernatural aid. Her breath will send any she wishes to home. Her kiss will show someone the way home. And her song will bond others to her heart.
