Mother of Faces

"spirit"

- Since the beginning of time, I've fashioned faces with great deliberation -- with all my heart! In each face, I put a piece of my own being!

The Mother of Faces is a spirit who resides in Forgetful Valley. She has the ability to give faces to living organisms, bestowing plants and animals with expressive markings. She owns a wolf, who, like the many other creatures in Forgetful Valley, has a face imprinted on its fur.

History
Despite being sought after for many years by Rafa and Misu, the Mother of Faces never appeared before the two, and never granted Rafa the face he had sought.

In 102 ASC, the Mother of Faces was approached by Aang, who had been brought to her by clutching on to her wolf's fur. Enraged that somebody would use her wolf as a "beast of burden", she demanded his name. In return, he asked for hers and she told him that she was the Mother of Faces.

Trivia

 * The abilities of the Mother of Faces seem diametric to Koh's; she has the ability to give faces, whereas Koh has the ability to take them.
 * In addition to living organisms, the Mother of Faces can also brand inanimate objects with distinct facial markings, such as rock formations.
