Once there was a female mortal named Ignacia who roamed freely in the vast forest near her home. Being naughty and causing trouble with others intrigued her, she was always acting bad, breaking the peace between everyone. No mortal wanted to make the mistake of making her angry: one spark would set her temperamental attitude off wild. Aside from her personality, Ignacia had a beautiful, colorful mixture of hair and a red complexity to her face, like the colors of fire, that she dearly admired about herself. She had strong, long legs that gave great support to stand her ground, like a tree trunk, while her hair swayed in the wind, like leaves falling to the ground on a windy day. Overall, she was absolutely beautiful but flawed in her temperamental …show more content…
Another god watching her was Destrius, god of destruction, who loved seeing her temper create trouble or damage. One day Pazia witnessed Ignacia messing around in the forest with another mortal; they appeared to be fighting and she could feel the heat coming from Ignacia’s body. The mortal yelling “you can't always get what you want” caused Ignacia's short patience and temper to ignite, breaking the bond between her and the mortal. Without knowing the core of the frustration, Pazia did not know how to help; however, she knew that she wanted to change Ignacia’s behavior. After letting Ignacia cool down, Pazia asked, “Why must you always cause trouble with your temper, young one?” “It is something I do best,” Ignacia replied as she ran off to find someone or something else to fool around with.

Ignacia knew she had to change but reluctantly agreed. From there on, Pazia and Ignacia became good friends and worked on her temper. Staying away from other mortals helped, so they stayed in the woods isolated from society and restored nature that Ignacia had damaged. Ignacia began to be very fond of Pazia; she realized that peace was easier and a better lifestyle to live rather than having short patience and being angry. Destrius, being busy with other things, had not noticed Ignacia changing until it was too late. He became furious and approached her as she was singing and gardening the plants. “Why have you changed your behavior? I liked it the way it was before,” he persuasively said, hinting to revert her behavior back. Ignacia firmly replied with, “Well, hello. I am not interested in that old life; I love keeping peace and tending nature,” as she remembered the old times. Destrius, mad and jealous that Pazia had taken over, tried to think of a way to change Ignacia back. He knew he would not be able to change her while alive, so he killed Ignacia and turned her into a wildfire, destroying the surrounding area. Her body became a tree, and her red-orange hair resembled fire as it danced tree to

She is meek when it comes to her husband because she allows him to just slack around while she works hard to earn a living, to pay for their house rent, and to provide food for both of them.
