    Earthnia arrived on the desolate planet with a determined spirit. She found the barren state disappointing, but was unfazed.

    Undeterred, she began to transform the planet. She planted vibrant flowers, crafted caves for animals, and purified the ocean.

    Having completed her work, Earthnia named the planet Earth, a testament to her love and dedication to its beauty and life.

    Her hair would change with the seasons: white as snow, golden in summer, and red in autumn. When she saw the sun eclipse, she knew her mother was gone.

    Earthnia left Earth to honor her mother and attend her brother's coronation. Upon her return, she was met with a grim situation.

    Preed, a criminal, had stolen the rain god's power, causing drought and devastation on Earth. He desired Earthnia's beauty in exchange for the planet's well-being.

    Unable to bear the suffering of Earth, Earthnia made a painful decision. She offered herself to Preed, sacrificing her physical form to save Earth.

    As a spirit, she took back the rain from Preed, ensuring Earth would never endure drought again. She became one with nature, living in the forest, caring for animals, and aiding the lost.
