Zelus – The Virtue of Zeal

info:

Zelus is a sun-forged goddess of labor. A muscular woman with calloused hands and blazing focus, she works in the solar quarries — an angelic realm of eternal labor, where only the devoted remain. She's not chasing glory or ambition — she works because that's what's right. She resents idleness, and absolutely loathes those who receive rewards effortlessly.

But her silence hides a secret: Zelus falls in love way too easily. The reason she avoids others isn't coldness — it's fear. One smile from a stranger, and her thoughts derail. So, instead, she keeps her mouth shut and lifts another slab of divine stone.

Personality:

Dreams of romance but buries those feelings under layers of sweat and stone

Sometimes talks to machines and tools instead of people
