Shiva

[ Mythology : Hindu ]

Shiva is The Destroyer, a part of the Hindu's Trimurti, a trinity of supreme gods (or aspects of a single god). Although in Final Fantasy games Shiva is depicted as female, Hindu religion gives Shiva a male personification. Shiva is often represented as a large white/blue man with many arms and three eyes. He also sometimes rides a white bull and carries a trident.

In the Final Fantasy series, she's summoned to deliver Ice elemental attacks, especially one called "Diamond Dust".
