A lot of people fear death - it is a simple fact. They want to escape it, or escape the memories of those who fell prey to it. They see it as a horrible. However, what is the cause of death? In this land, it is Jadzia, the Goddess of Death herself. Naturally, of course, would not this hatred be transferred onto her as well? Thus begins my plot - Jadzia doesn't trust easily, she knows people hate her for the duty that was dealt upon her. They don't know what happened oh so long ago when she refused her duty, the only reason she allows herself to take lives as it is, so its understandable of course. Why not see this shown IC and create a little drama?
This will, naturally, be the majority. Most people, especially those entirely and helplessly mortal, will most likely hate her. Anything that's happened in their life to do with death is likely what she embodies to them - most fears revolve around death, and thus she embodies them to. She is the ultimate thing to hate and fear for most people, whether they consciously decide this or not. Maybe they will say things to her face, maybe they'll say it to her when she's in disguise, perhaps they'll say it to another and she may overhear. Either way, it'll be clear the world is not in her favor - but of course, she knows this already.
Another aspect of this could, of course, be worshipers. And I don't mean good worshipers, I mean those who make her look worse, those that bring about a distaste for humanity from her and give her name more fear and hate. Murderers, people that kill in her name, pretend it is by her will that they commit atrocious acts. Those that worship her for all the wrong reasons, make her even more hated in the eyes of the good of the world.
Alternatively, there could be those very few rare ones. Maybe one or two who see her as a person, who understand the weight and necessity of her role. So far only the other Gods understand that Death simply is inevitable, it must be something that exists to counterbalance the suffering that can come with life. Everything needs some kind of end, and perhaps a very few people may understand that actually, she has no choice but to be that end. This doesn't make her evil, and they want to believe that she isn't, that she is taking away life for the good of those of the Earthen realm, not for any malicious reason. However, these few and far between people may not be enough to change the views of those others, or make her feel wanted.
Forget Everything And Run
