Foul God of Taste ~ Uke-Mochi

Uke-Mochi: Goddess of Fertility and Food, Uke-Mochi loves to eat but she has horrible table manners, making feasts with her very unpleasent. According to legend, she prepared a feast for Tsukiyomi (the Moon God) long ago, but disgusted him so much with her foul manners that he beat her within an inch of her life. It is said that many things edible came from the wounds she sustained at the hands of a wrathful Tsukiyomi. Every autumn or two, Uke-Mochi appears from her shrine to partake in the Autumn Festival and holds various contests to see which human is capable of out eating her; those who do, apparently, recieve a glorious blessing to their harvest in the coming year. Sadly, None who rose to the challenge have succeded in out doing the goddess. However, this may be due to one of two things; No one seems to be able to handle as much food as Uke-Mochi, or because the goddess' awful table manners drives partakers away in disgust.

Aside from her wretched table manners, Uke-Mochi isn't actually that bad of a person and can prove to be an enjoyable acquantince as well...you just can't eat with her. Uke-Mochi has an odd relationship with the Goddess of Earth and Agriculture, Toyo-Ukebime, the two seem to have a mutual understanding for each other and are usually hanging out together. Farmers of the land worship them equally as the both of them work hand in hand in the harvesting months.

Uke-Mochi's power lies within the Manipulation and control of all things edible. With her godlike power over foodstuffs, she can manipulate their flavor, size and even bring them to life. There is even a frightening rumor that states she can turn living beings into food...and eat them.
