Personality[]
Haliya smiling
Haliya is a shy and introverted but good hearted goddess in Encantadia because of this nature she tends to avoid contact with other encantados and possibly other Bathalas, and if she managed to make contact with them, like Cassiopea, she will immediately leave their sight/teleport back to the twin moons. Prior to this, Haliya was often seen smiling this is due to the fact that an Encantado named Hamir gives her joy and makes her feel that she's not alone. After discovering that this was a lie and Hamir only used her to gain wealth, Haliya has failed to show a single smile since then.
Story[]
Haliya is one of the Five Ancient and Elemental Bathalas of Encantadia that represents the element of Water. When they were sent to Encantadia, Haliya became unhappy and tried to go back to where they came from, but the gateways of her fellow Bathalas were closed against them. She tried the last of five gateways to the realm of the celestial beings but like her fellow Bathalas' it remained closed against her. So she just decided to reside on one of Encantadia's twin moons which she considers her Home of Meditation and Peace, there she declared herself Goddess of the Moons. She never lets that moon shine when darkness covers Encantadia. She oftentimes goes down to Encantadia to visit the Stream of Truth, her favorite Stream where she takes a bath because the water there is clean. She considers this place her home in Encantadia.
Emre is seeking help from her to take back Devas from the Bathalas Arde, Ether, and Keros. She is called by Emre as the Good Goddess.
When Cassiopea and Emre tricked Ether, Cassiopea made it to the Stream of Truth. She waited for the Bathaluman to descend at the Stream of Truth. Haliya did descend and sang an enchantment to clean herself which was interrupted when Cassiopea asked if she was the Bathalumang Haliya. Before Cassiopea got near her she teleported back to the Twin Moons.
Hamir visits Haliya.
Prior to her Debut Appearance[]
Haliya once loved a Sapiryan, that is why she gave him everything he desired and even entrusted to him the De-jar to ascend to the moon from Encantadia and vice-versa. But her love soon betrayed her, as he long has loved a Diwata and bore a child, which was LilaSari. Haliya went to the newly built home of Hamir, Sapiro. She vented out her anger by cursing their child to have a beautiful face that captivates people but if they look at it they would turn to stone and will soon perish and even her parents themselves won't be exempted from this curse. She then exclaimed that she never should have returned to Encantadia, and then she decided to forget the witness of her failed love, the moon, and made a second one as her home of peace and meditation. That is why Encantadia has two moons and why she avoids contact with Encantados because she doesn't trust them anymore.
Haliya waits for Hamir to return.
