Rifts of Joy: Ame-no-Uzume, the Laughing Dawn

From Japanese myth

The goddess who danced naked to lure Amaterasu from her cave. Now? A burlesque emcee with a laugh that pulls people from despair. Her joy is shameless, sacred spectacle.

Rifts of Joy: Pabilsag, the Jovial Chimera

An obscure Mesopotamian god—scorpion-tailed, lion-faced, winged centaur.

Rifts of Joy: Ratatoskr, the Roastmaster of Yggdrasil
The squirrel who ferried insults between the Norse gods. Now he runs an underground comedy mic where truth bombs always land. The Roast is sacred to him—joy through chaos, laughter with teeth.

Rifts of Joy: Euphrosyne, the Forgotten Grace
One of the original Greek Charites (Graces), goddess of joy. Now she leads grief circles at a city library. Her smile calms storms. But if sorrow piles up, her joy frays into numbness.
