Amaterasu
Japanese sun goddess and ancestor of imperial family. Amaterasu retreated into a cave after conflict with her brother, plunging world into darkness until lured out by her reflection and entertainment. She represents divine light, purity, order, and legitimate sovereignty. Amaterasu embodies the feminine sun, the offended divinity whose absence brings chaos, and the sacred lineage. Her emergence symbolizes restoration of light and harmony.
