Flowery Goddess of Mount Fuji

Mountain deities tend to be quite rough and fierce, but this one is different. She is attractive, gentle and loves flowers. In fact she is known as ‘The Princess Who Makes The Tree Blossom Bloom’.

Sengen-Sama’s favorite hobby is skipping around scattering petals across the place. She also guards a secret well of eternal youth, but is very careful whom she invites back for a drink.

She is more savvy than you might expect, for she is identified with Konohanasakuya-Hime, the mother of Hoderi and Hoori.
