	'''LOTUS''' (/loʊtʌs/, LOH-tus) is a major character in doughbyte. She is a [[Sunkissed]] Llokin who leads the caretaking of the [[Tears]], being possibly the most knowledgeable of their abilities out of any Llokin. Like others involved with the Tears, she has lived multiple lives. She has no known biological relationships with any other characters, but is notably linked with [[ROMAL]], [[JAELA]], and later [[VETTE]] through the caretaking of the artifact.

	=== Learning to use the artifact ===		=== Uncertain origins ===

			Because LOTUS and her lives have spanned potentially hundreds of years, it's not exactly clear where she came from. Given that she has a Sunkissed body, she most likely originated from an ancient Sunkissed tribe or town. She has also mentioned that she was born in a time of turmoil,{{Record Ref\|goodbyes ii}} so it is possible that this town does not exist any more. LOTUS appears to be highly traveled, which makes her origins even more murky. It is highly unlikely that LOTUS has any living relatives, but she may have descendants.

	It is never described how LOTUS came unto this knowledge, but it is implied that LOTUS is one of the first Llokin to understand how to use the Tears. She is possibly the only one capable of "rebirthing" Llokin from newly created eggs, a process she does to herself and others many times throughout the plot.		It is never described how LOTUS came unto this knowledge, but it is implied that LOTUS is one of the first Llokin to understand how to use the Tears. It is also possible that she discovered the Tears themselves, or was the first Llokin to obtain them. Given that they most likely originate from the corpse of the [[RHOMB]] in the glacial wastes outside the [[Terminator]], it's unclear how exactly she or another [[Llokin]] would have obtained them. She is possibly the only one capable of "rebirthing" Llokin from newly created eggs, a process she does to herself and others many times throughout the plot. However, other members of her group have been shown to be particularly adept with the Tears,{{Record Ref\|only ashes to rule}}{{Record Ref\|end of a journey}} so it is possible that they are also aware of how to do it.

	'''LOTUS''' (/loʊtʌs/, LOH-tus) is a major character in doughbyte. ~~Being~~ the ~~primary caretaker~~ of the [[Tears]], she is the ~~driving force behind~~ many of the ~~plot~~'s ~~events~~.		'''LOTUS''' (/loʊtʌs/, LOH-tus) is a major character in doughbyte. She is a [[Sunkissed]] Llokin who leads the caretaking of the [[Tears]], being possibly the most knowledgeable of their abilities out of any Llokin. Like others involved with the Tears, she has lived multiple lives. She has no known biological relationships with any other characters, but is notably linked with [[ROMAL]], [[JAELA]], and later [[VETTE]] through the caretaking of the artifact.

			== Appearance ==

			LOTUS is deeply red scaled, with a typical Sunkissed triple-pair set of amber lightning-bolt shaped horns and matching orange eyes. She is sometimes described wearing a red or green [[kinjewel]], despite not being in any relationship{{Record Ref\|compromises i}}, and sometimes depicted wearing a faded orange loincloth.

			== Characterization ==

			LOTUS is dutiful and caring. She is fully committed to the well management of the Tears for the greater good rather than her own gain, and believes deeply in the inherent goodness of others, acting as a contrast to the Tears' other caretakers{{Record Ref\|goodbyes ii}}. However, her personality is comparatively much more reserved and quiet. She is undeterred of her responsibilities even with [[ZSUNG]]'s intense disapproval.

			She seems to revel in secrecy, choosing to protect the Tears through hiding, and being difficult to pin down herself.

			== Plot events ==

			=== Learning to use the artifact ===

			It is never described how LOTUS came unto this knowledge, but it is implied that LOTUS is one of the first Llokin to understand how to use the Tears. She is possibly the only one capable of "rebirthing" Llokin from newly created eggs, a process she does to herself and others many times throughout the plot.

			=== Moving the artifact ===

			Chronologically, LOTUS's earliest appearance in the story is during a meeting of the original caretakers, composed of herself, ROMAL, JAELA, [[KHYEL]], [[AERIS]], and [[HEKAE]]. She breaks up disagreement about where [[Tears\|the artifact]] belongs by suggesting it be moved to [[Clearstone]], which is eventually done.{{Record Ref\|compromises ii}} There, she is reborn (for what is apparently the third time{{Record Ref\|goodbyes ii}}) along with JAELA.

			==== Hiding in [[Vetteswoods]] ====

			Being reborn before the others, JAELA tries to convince LOTUS to kill the other caretakers and make off with the artifact to become gods over the Surface. After vehemently refusing, then seeing her murder KHYEL anyway, LOTUS makes off with an unborn ROMAL and the Tears, moving them both to Vetteswoods. She hides ROMAL's egg underground so it is not found by JAELA.{{Record Ref\|goodbyes ii}}

			Here, she seems to pretend to be a normal child, meeting [[VETTE]] and becoming friends with children [[KIRII]] and [[METIS]]. The artifact ends up in their possession, and as VETTE comes to understand what it is, LOTUS eventually confronts him about it, though exactly what comes of this is not clear{{Record Ref\|dark whispers}}. VETTE is later reborn by [[SILLH]] when she comes into possession of a Tear.

			=== Splitting the artifact ===

			Once ROMAL hatches, LOTUS expresses her desire to gather a new group of caretakers and split the artifact across the Surface so that the group can be more easily kept in check. After ROMAL refuses, it seems LOTUS proceeds with her plan anyway, as Tears begin showing up in various undergound shrines across the Caldera.

			=== Escaping to the [[Littlelands]] ===

			LOTUS is not seen again until ROMAL has begun hunting the Tears. With at least one already found, she and [[EVJAR]] follow LOTUS to the Littelands, where she has been welcomed and sheltered by the natives. Unwilling to give the artifact shard she holds to ROMAL, but also unwilling to kill or hurt ROMAL, she allows ROMAL to take it by force, causing her to be gravely wounded and lose her right arm.

			Her fate is currently unknown.
