Hello, Elbahn, god of luck and chaos.Maybe I should introduce myself.
Which is sort of a tricky business since I don't really have a name.
Or rather, I have many, many names. I wish the story about that was all dramatic, epic and sad, but it's really not.
It was mostly a lack of time I think. Noone simply had the time to name me as a kid. My parents died around the time I was born and noone knew them very well. But luck (yeah, I'm talking about you, lord) had me sort of jointly raised by whichever slum family could afford me at the moment. Noone really wanted that much responsibility so as to declare a particular name for me, so instead I got a new name for each place I went.
Even to this day, I have people name me whatever they like. Most of the time they enjoy it and come up with wonderful names for me. I like (almost) all my names, why should I have to pick a single one?
... Alright, so I am a girl of many names. I guess you might call me The Jester, for that is what I am. A fool, a harlequin. That's not a name, but in many ways that's who I am. As for a name you won't know until you gave me a name of your own. I'm sure a god could really come up with a splendid name for me. Maybe even the name my parents had once intended, before they died ... Ah well, silly girls can dream.
