Legends tell of a mother so wracked with the grief of a child she was unable to protect that in her all-consuming sadness she wept so hard and for so long her tears eventually formed the oceans, seas, and rivers of the world. The gods saw this horrible tragedy and gifted her with the power to always protect those in need of saving. Those that claim to have seen The Weeping Lady describe her as a beautiful woman dressed in a tattered black funeral dress, her hands covering her face in sorrow. An endless stream falls from her eyes, and she walks barefoot upon a path soaked with her own tears.
