The highest and most holy deity of any world in which the series takes place, the Mana Goddess is oft positioned as the benevolent, yet stalwart creator god and maker of all things living, Her powers so vast as to defy description by any language. Embraced by good and pursued by evil, She exists as the very essence of the [[Mana Tree]], from which all life and spiritual force are said to emanate. She is even rumored to grant the fondest wishes of one's heart and soul should She be approached with pure intent. | The highest and most holy deity of any world in which the series takes place, the Mana Goddess is oft positioned as the benevolent, yet stalwart creator god and maker of all things living, Her powers so vast as to defy description by any language.

Yet in spite of possessing such far-reaching, world-shaping power, the Mana Goddess is not a perfect deity by definition. She often enters the world as a mortal regardless of whether She is a spirit or not; and so, a common plot in each world involves the selection and/or appointment of a chosen champion to ensure Her will is done and Her consciousness kept safe from all harm; as She goes, so goes the world She oversees.

Any significant presence of darkness therefore gravely weakens the Goddess so that if She falls, Her world falls with Her. However, a female of any tribe may succeed Her to prevent the world's collapse. This often comes at the cost of the woman's mortal life and body, with the added effect of mana power becoming dormant until the new Goddess matures, at which point the cycle may repeat. | ||
