For the first time in my life a song gave me physical chills and made me cry. For this reason, I want to make a character related to it in someway. The song is called Lycoris Radiata, meaning red spider lily. The flower represents death, chaos, afterlife, reincarnation, and final farewells. I want to make a character that is representative of all these as well, and zealously does the work of her god. Death, or death adjacent. Killing those meant to die and seeing that souls are guided to the afterlife. I also want her to have a strong connection with the previously mentioned flower. What do you all think would work? I know this is super edgy, but it gets me emotional hearing even just mention of the flower, and I wanna make a character I can easily get emotionally attached to.
Here are all the death themed subclasses to my knowledge. There are undoubtedly more UA material, but here are the ones you can find here. Some of these are only marginally thematic while others are directly associated with the concept of death.

Death domain cleric is a good start.
Grave domain is also a possibility.
