Like her siblings, Asherah has not manifested herself in Assiah or Physical Creation since the Great War which tore apart the pantheons.

History
Much like MAVETH and SEPHIRA, SHEKHINAH was born from the interplay of AYIN and YESH. However, unlike her siblings, who took either after YESH or AYIN, embodying the white light of Life or the darkness of Death, SHEKHINAH became the middle ground. She is the embodiment of the Gray Maybe. After an infinity passed, YESH created the Seven Archangels which AYIN, much to their surprise accepted. The twelve beings simply were for countless time. Eventually, YESH created a new world with the idea that AYIN would accept but instead, She destroyed it. Thus. YESH battle against AYIN once more this time, the other Primordials were drawn into the battle. She, her siblings, and her adoptive children battled against her older sister. Eventually, the tie between YESH and AYIN was broken as she and the others gave YESH an opening to seal AYIN away. Her eldest daughter, KETER, volunteered herself to bear AYIN's seal and with a heavy heart, YESH relented and branded KETER with the Mark.

After the beginning of Creation, YESH and SHEKHINAH came together in a union and birthed the race of Angels. Shortly before that, YESH had created the concept of the soul and with it, fashioned the first forms of life which he called Leviathans. Her own siblings had taken the concept and used it to fashion and create their own forms of life known as Fae and Reapers. SHEKHINAH resided in a dimension which her husband created known as Heaven. There, she created a Garden, one that would be famous later on and at its center, she planted a tree that would connect it to Assiah. The tree bore fruit that contained a small portion of her own power. During the First Cosmic War, she and her family watched as YESH's first creations went to war with a group of beings who had come into existence with the formation of Creation. Eventually, YESH was fed up with the havoc the war caused and sent KETER and HOD down to Creation in which the war was stopped. The Leviathans were sealed at the very center of a prison realm called Purgatory.

Billions of years after everything began as SHEKHINAH, now known as Asherah watched as YESH, who was now known as God, guided the evolution of beings that would later be known as Humans, The First Two Original Humans were named Adam and Eve. God blessed His two youngest children with agelessness and immortality so long as they never ate the Fruit of the Divine Tree at the center of the Garden of Eden. God appeared before all the Angels and Archangels and proclaimed Humanity His greatest creation and asked them to guide them. Their daughter, Lucifer, was overcome by jealousy and tempted Eve to eat the Fruit of the Divine Tree. Heartbroken, Asherah watched as God banished Lucifer to Earth to learn her lesson and cast Adam and Eve from the Garden and returned it to Heaven.

Asherah was also there when God pulled Adam and Eve from Eden shortly after their demise at the hands of their descendants. The two were granted the full power of the Fruit that they consumed by Asherah while God hybridized them to be able to contend with their wards, the Leviathans, as the seal had cracked. However, both Asherah and her husband watched as their youngest children spawned a race of beings dedicated to persecuting the human race.

Years would pass in the blink of an eye with events such as Noah's flood and the Tower of Babel occuring. Eventually at the climax of the Great War, her husband would once more send the Archangels, who stopped the war. After the war's end, and God's subsequent disappearance, Asherah left Heaven and hid herself away, becoming once more the featureless, infinite concept of Possiblity until years later with the birth of her grandson. Only then, did she finally take an interest in Creation and manifested shortly after the beginning of the Apocalypse.

Appearance
Asherah appears as one of the most beautiful beings in all of Creation equalling or possibly surpassing the beauty of Life. She has hair as red as the purest of rubies and her green eyes shine like pure emeralds. She wears a white, double-breasted coat and brown pants. Underneath her coat, she wears a pale red sweater and wears a navy blue cloak styled that has two loose panels in the front with the linked concave sided diamonds.

In her true form, Asherah is the featureless, infinite concept of Possibility that permeates all levels of Creation while at the same time being beyond it She exists as the Grey Maybe, the intermediary between Life and Death, and the in-between of the White IS of YESH and the Black IS-NOT of AYIN.
