Full name: Messua Freya Ouédraogo
Nationality: American, but Hindu and African roots
Age: 24
Zodiac: pisces
Looks: Messua normally wears a Tilaka on her forehead as reference to her Hindu roots.
Personality: Messua is a calm person and a good listener. (needs to be updated later on)
History: Messua was born in New Orleans and belongs to a long bloodline of Mambos, Voodoo priestesses. She grew up with a mix of religions, which include the Voodoo cult, Hinduism and Christianity. Trained by her grandma she became the high priestess (Mambo) of her communtiy and shares her wisdom with people all over the world. Messua prays to the Voodoo spirit Loa Erzulie Freda, as her second name Freya is deflected from Freda. The Loa helped her through a hard time, when she lost the baby from her lover a few months before the actual birth date. The relationship broke apart and she fell into the dark part of the Voodoo magic. The bond of her community helped her finding her way back and her new belief in Erzulie Freda.
Loa Erzulie Freda: Erzulie Fréda Dahomey, the Rada aspect of Erzulie, is the Haitian African spirit of love, beauty, jewelry, dancing, luxury, and flowers. She wears three wedding rings, one for each husband - Damballa, Agwe and Ogoun. Her symbol is a heart, her colours are pink, blue, white and gold, and her favourite sacrifices include jewellery, perfume, sweet cakes and liqueurs. Coquettish and very fond of beauty and finery, Erzulie Freda is femininity and compassion embodied, yet she also has a darker side; she is seen as jealous and spoiled and within some Vodoun circles is considered to be lazy. During ritual possession, she may enter the body of either a man or a woman. She enjoys the game of flirtation and seduces people without distinguishing between sexes. In Christian iconography she is often identified with the Mater Dolorosa, as well as another loa named, Metres Ezili. She is conceived of as never able to attain her heart's most fervent desire. For this reason she always leaves a service in tears. Her syncretic iconographical depiction is usually based on that of the Virgin and Child, because she is the mother of Ti. Common syncretizations include Iyalorde Oxum as she relates to the Yoruba Vodu goddess of Erotic Love, Gold and Femininity.
