Her father was the king of the Mountains, Hamavan, and she is the reincarnation of a being that lends her name to a type of self immolation. One myth about her posits that Guari got her golden skin from this being after she replaced her own after being teased and another states that she created a guardian out of paste and gave life to it to guard her while bathing, though her consort would decapitate that guardian in anger, only to be forced to return him to life and replace his lost head.
