History

Manman Ayida Ginen is a native of Saltmarsh (or, perhaps, the marsh). She learned root craft and medicine from her human mother but never met her elven father. A special child, Ayida took to the learning and lore of the marshes well, but always heard other voices speaking to her from beyond.

Character Notes

• Inspiration: Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans so walked the streets like she owned them, and Julia Brown, Priestess of Frenier, who folks thought brought on a hurricane after haven been taken for granted, sitting on her porch laughing her head off as the storm surge rose.
• Naming: In Haitian Voudou, Ayida Wedo is the wife of the rainbow serpent Danbala, while Ginen is a watery realm under the earth (this is also used to refer to Africa as an origin place). Manman is used as a title for fully initiated priestesses (Mama, or french Maman, as well as playful derivatives like Mommie, while papa and similar is for men). Novitiates are often called little leaves, or similar.
