Origins
Nobody's quite sure when the Muse became a common term or idea, but some circles of musicians and artists claim she's been around since the start of the world. Others say she appeared as soon as the first creatures of the planet started to live. They say she is created from the possibility for creative creation and expression and, as such, exists as long as life allows itself possibilities and potential.
Nature
Fickle and free, the Muse is hard to pin down. One moment, she's there, the next, she's missing. Many artists of all varieties try to find ways to win her favor, but nobody's found a demonstrable way to achieve this. She seems carefree and unconcerned with who she inspires. Her gifts come to all different sorts of people, both good and bad, rich and poor. She blesses those she blesses.
Powers
She is inspiration and creativity. She is able to give others the drive and inspiration to create great things and reach into their own ideas and push onwards to new heights of greatness.She's usually only associated with art, music, dance, and theater, but she can inspire many more forms of expression.
