Ceinara has numerous forms and depictions of her, as befitting a goddess of inspiration and art. Some say she appears as a beautiful woman of human origins with red hair that seems to segue into flames behind and about her and these roaring flames sometimes take the form of a dragon or a phoenix. Her garments are simple, sheer and white. Sometimes she is depicted as a dazzlingly beautiful elven woman, dressed as a rogue or a performer or a halfling lass of bright bubbling energy. In all forms her trademark red hair remains a constant as does fire.[[Category:Religion]][[Category:Gods_and_Goddesses]]
