The form of the monarch butterfly.*** Everchanging and always lively, she was the embodiment of happiness and freedom, inspiring poets, musicians, and all who reveled in the wonder of a free, cheerful life. Known to appear both in human form and as a free-flying butterfly, Hozho manifests as brightly whirling lights and smoke in the middle of the air before a young woman dances out from the cloud. Few things are sufficient to bring down Hozho's joyful revelry, and she would rather flee than engage in violence or hatred. Little is known of her history, but she is celebrated and venerated at weddings, celebrations, and more. Any followers of Hozho are asked to merely live a joyful life, spreading smiles across the coast. > [!dm] > ### Institutions > Clerics of Hozho are individuals who step forward and are accepted for their strong passions and technical quality as priests. There is no official clergy; some believers may take up special roles or provide teaching, but they are not qualitatively different from others. Members of the church often spend their time performing acts of charity, often through the use of magic, to perform miracles and blessings. > > ### Notes > [Additional DM-only information]
