It is unclear whether Triana has any family relationship with Dizal and Regial. Folk lore states that after arising the victor in a particularly vicious battle, a wounded Regial let out a triumphant cry to the heavens, and in that moment Triana sprang from his soul and into the sky. Other theories state that Triana is Regial's lover, or that she is another child of Dizal that was somehow lost in legend. Whatever the reason, Triana often follows Regial on his Campains against great evil. Another story says that whenever Triana is present Regial has yet to be wounded by a rivals blow, leading to her reputation of a Goddess of Luck.
Contrary to Regial who believes in the force of overwhelming might, Triana often supports the underdog and frowns upon crushing victories. She is far trickier than her partner and is not against utilizing ruses and decption to tip the scales in her favor. While Regial's philopshy is to decimate the enemies troops, Triana's is to decimate the enemy's leaders, leading to a lethal combination. When war is not being raged, Triana is prone to focus on unfortunate souls of note and tip the scales a bit more in their favor, often in the form of weird twists of fate. Hence, prayers to Triana are very common among the less fortunate in hopes of better things. Naturally, gamblers are some of her biggest supporters, good or no.
When she appears, Triana appears as a perfect human woman, of about 20 years of age, with long flowing golden hair. Attached to her back are two angelic wings, that she can seemingly reveal and hide at will. When going into battle she also carries a unique weapon, a longsword with two slightly shorter blades emanating from the hilt at 45 degree angles, as well as a breastplate of similar construction to Regial's.
Dogma:
Followers of Triana value all of life's experiences, good and bad, and try to make the best out of them. They are prone to some recklessness and passion, and don't mind breaking a few rules if it's for the greater good. They see that conflict has a positive end, and often uphold the banner of revolution from oppressive regimes. "Live everyday as if it were your last" a follower of Triana might say.
