Bowynn Gods: Luanna
Luanna (Lu-Ahn-Nah) Luanna is the Bowynn goddess of gardens, flowers, meadows and fields and guardian of flowers. She is also the patron of florists and nursery owners. She is the daughter of Brea and Unthar.
She is also something of a weather goddess, making sure that destructive storms do not fall and destroy her beautiful gifts. Herbs and flowers are used not only magickally but medically, so in essence she is also considered a healing goddess. The flowers she brings to bloom are used to fragrant clothing washes as well as dye cloth. Little is said or spoke about when it comes to Luanna. Like all deities of the Bowynn faith, she is just accepted as "being there." She is often seen wandering gardens and meadows, bringing forth blooms and flowers. She is a goddess of frivolity, much like the great patron Aleglea. However, Luana's realm is strictly reserved for bringing forth colorful life in the garden. Sometimes she is seen with Aleglea and/or Jayleen Jarra, goddess of herbalism. It is said that Luanna's job in Alaway is to decorate the great halls with her gifts, thus giving the great hall of the gods a wondrous bouquet-like smell. On the Spring Equinox and (which in the Bowynn Tradition is called "Tsaquilla") Luanna is given high praise, as she is the grower of the scared flowers that symbolizes the holiday. Tsaquilla is a 3-day holiday and it is on the 3rd of the holiday, Luanna is given the most praise with great blessings of gardens and her statue or shrine in home gardens is cleansed and tended to. On Tsaquilla, small gardens are arranged just for the goddess.
Luanna is said to be a most beautiful goddess of simple beauty. Her garments as soft and flowing but simple as well; often a simple green gown/dress and over it a brown hladd or shorter tunic. Sometimes she is seen crowned with a simple braiding of flowers but nothing too bold. In her hands she carries a basket and sometimes a garden shear or boline in her hand. Other times she is seen carrying a bowl of seeds. When not seen in this form she will take the form of a bee, which is her totem animal. Naturally sacred gifts to Luanna consist of flowers bulbs and seeds.
You would expect them to jump into a dance together, wouldn't you?
"Glad I catch you, su alteza."
Luisa: Wait, If Elsa had bestowed the crown upon Anna, does that make me a queen too?
Isabela:
Isabela: Damn, I'm so jealous rn. I need to find a royalty gf asap
The taste of a world I never knew
Luisa feels like grass and sweat in a hot day. Something Anna barely familiar with, and maybe that's why Madrigal attracts her attention so much
Luisa smells like grass. It entered her, emerged under her skin after years of physical labour. Her life was smeared in the taste of sweat. It wasn’t just a small wetness, no. It were giant drops that rolled down her face under the burning sun. When Luisa lifted the heavy things, leaving stainless scracthes. Day after day spent outside, while the sun baked itself into her prominent heavy muscles, always sore from manual labour.
Luisa smells like freedom.
And Anna can't help but longs for it. She herself smells like dust of the lonely corridors. Gazes of the empty walls soaked her dress years ago. Making her sick at the every fingertip. If Luisa was a heavylifter the staining gold of the scorching sun, then Anna was a bird jumping from one branch to another in her cage. Gorgerous and painted but still a cage. Where she had nothing to do.
And she does wonder what it’s like. To spend your days working like this. This is so drastically different from living in a castle without a single person to see. Obvious, Anna was the member of the royal family. But so was Luisa, even if she kept denying it. They were the leaders of the country… City… hovewer it was called. But Luisa was an active part of it. And here Anna had to wait until she was an adult to see the light of a day.
Luisa is used to be dirty. Mug, chips of stone and lime clung to her sweating hands, hard from callouses. She knew water rising to her knees while Luisa pushed the river out of its bed. And it seemed so fascinating that Anna was one step away from grabbing a shovel herself and work until her bones are aching.
“Hey, hey, calm down!” Luisa chuckled, eyetwitching at the took the tool away. Crouched down to feel the nasty flow. “Holy shit, it’s freezing!”
Anna coughed and sneezed. She had to admit its truth. Colombia was somewhere far beyond the south ocean. Endlessly warmer that Arendelle “Don’t worry, what can’t I do that you can?”Even if they both knew it was a lie. Anna wasn’t Elsa, she couldn’t stay in the show naked amd don’t feel a thing. But, she had to say she was way better than Luisa. Just because she was used to it.
“How do you do this all?” Anna tilted her head, wiping her redding nose.
“Do what?”
“Work like this?” The thought was amazing. Just feel like a normal peasant, doing their best to provide community with what they needed. Anna found herself enchanted by physical workers. Just because of how wild nature was close to them. The taste of effort burying inside the flesh. It felt magestical.
Luisa shrugged, twirling the shovel. “It’s just the way things were.” She plays with her bicep in such a proud way, like a show off. They solid, as if someone had stuffed Luisa with rocks to give her hardness and this crazy durabiliry. Anna presses closer, almost sensing the warm Encanto that had sunk under Luisa’s skin. With the heavy rays pressing against her skin for days long. WIth the steaming water between her fingers, fur that was stuck to her blouse or leaves tripping into her hair. Luisa was somebody raised in a nature, much to Anna’s own childhood inside the four walls. In was bland and unfeeling. So now Anna was drawn to every tip of what used to be the outside world. The one Luisa knew so much, she was soaked in it like a ripe apple filled with honey. So Anna snuggled into the powerful flesh, just feeling it. If she was focused enough she could see Luisa somewhere in Encanto, working as she was used to. Anna adored every second of it like a forbidden fruit. And she pressed closer, just wanting to know what it’s like, to feel the freedom of the outside world. Because Luisa feels like grass.
Okay, but luanna sickfic! I mean, Norway is far colder than Colombia, which lies near equator. So I can imagine Luisa catching cold simply because she's not used to the temperature/wasn't prepared good enough when visiting Arendelle
Okay but imagine. Luanna au where Elsa and Anna's parents are alive. So when comes time and eventually Anna starts getting courtship, they decide to get a bodyguard to protect her. And a girl with super human strength surely sounds like a great protector from any unwanted visitors
