The deities are all based on several animals, mythical beings, and other things. Thought I'd list them here!

Millennial Tree - Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór; Norse stags that feed on Yggdrasill's branches

Sugar Swan - Swan Maidens; Women able to transform into swans that are often revered as heroes as well as their beauty and grace

Sea Fairy - Seahorses; While general animals, sea horses often are associated with undying love and devotion.

Moonlight - Hecate and Porcelain Dolls; Hecate is a Greek goddess known for bestowing magic upon humanity.

UNKNOWN - Helios; The Greek god of the Sun.

Stormbringer - Qilin/Kirinn; Horse-like creatures of Chinese mythology that are often seen as symbols of prosperity and leadership, as well as being associated with auspicious omens.

Wind Archer - Various deities of the wind and hummingbirds, specifically the white-booted racket tail.

Fire Spirit - Several inspirations, but mostly the film Rise of the Guardian's depiction of Jack Frost.

Frost Queen - The Snow Queen and perytons; The Snow Queen is part of an old fairytale by the same name; Perytons are deer-like beings with several avian features such as wings, talons, and feathered tails.

Honorable mention is Dreamweaver, who was once a normal Star Imp who ascended to a new form of being after a spell went wrong.
