Guanyin – the Chinese Goddess of Mercy and Compassion
Characterized by her kindness+protection of those who are suffering
All seeing, all hearing being who is called upon by worshippers in times of uncertainty, fear, and despair
Typically shown standing on a dragon’s back, sitting on a lotus, or riding on clouds
Usually accompanied by two attendants
Wears a white robe + jade jewelry (green and white seen as signs of purity)
Holds a willow branch in right hand, water vase in left
most of the lore comes from when she was human (pre-rebirth as Guanyin) -- flowers, fire, buddhist temple, birds
generally just a very kind figure who is extremely sympathetic and caring -- wanted to capture the welcoming, gentle vibe -- also the sort of yellow-ish tint that you can find in a lot of ancient Chinese illustrations?
