The First to Love was she who woke third. She saw a world filled with creative thoughts, boundless life, and endless loneliness. She threw herself into the sea, and became the roiling of the waves; ever shifting with different emotions. From her motions did mortals learn to feel; they mimicked her changing temperament, and knew emotion for the first time. She looked upon her creation and was first pleased. Mortals came together as communities, as lovers, and as families. No longer were they lonely, but no longer where they content, either. Mortals strove to use the gift knowledge to acquire and possess new sensations and new feelings. Some did so in beautiful ways, while others committed monstrous atrocities.

Still, the First to Love was pleased. Despite the curses and suffering brought about by her gift, she had given mortals something else: purpose. Those reverent of the First to Love embrace all manner of passionate pursuits. Artists, musicians, and poets are particularly dedicated to her. The two most commonly followed edicts are: to pursue passion, and to not interfere with the passions of others. She is often depicted as a bird of paradise, and sometimes as a water sprite. Most often, however, she is seen as a beautiful dancer, ensnaring the hearts of those who behold her.
