soc_puppetContent warning: Death, abuse/neglect mention, illness mention
Unlike Trickster and Love, who are only possibly/sometimes the same entity, Death and Healing are the same being and always have been. Hers is the ultimate healing, that ends suffering when nothing else in the mortal realm can help someone. But she will fight like mad to keep from taking someone before she has to, and does all she can to ensure her followers do as well. Death is a last resort, but one that comes for everyone eventually.
Every time someone dies, Healer learns a little bit about how to prevent what they died of, and sends what knowledge she can to her followers. Pestilence is her greatest rival; she understands its place in the world, but that doesn't mean she has to like it or to stop fighting it, especially where people are concerned.
Abuse and Neglect are her greatest enemies: they push people towards her who should come in their own time, and while she will never turn anyone away, those who hasten their arrival for no reason have a special place waiting for them in her kingdom.
She is associated with small white flowers of all kinds, which are sometimes used as ornaments, charms, and/or decorations by her followers, who tend to wear darker colors otherwise (at least in part because stains don't show up as well on them).
