FLAME
She is truly like a star emitting light, steady, perched in the universe, burning, glowing, as long as the fire rages on.
"Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. Stars shine by burning hydrogen into helium in their cores and later in their lives create heavier elements."
"Most stars have small amounts of heavier elements like carbon," - Rights
