The people only ever knew the god of winter, as the god of seasons has long perished. To appease his unending frost, they offer him the lives of their own, assuming he'd have pity on them.
But never did his frost lessen, neither could he stop it. So he was called 'Ghost', as he is but a husk of the god of seasons.
Where Lucia goes, Ghost follows right after! For the longest time he only had a concept design, I'm so sorry Ghost

Herne the Hunter
Source: Herne the Hunter on Craiyon
On this day in 1906, the ancient tree, Herne’s Oak was replanted in Windsor Park, Berkshire. According to legend, Herne was a skilled hunter who saved the life of King Henry VIII by placing himself between the monarch and a charging stag. Herne was made Henry’s chief huntsman as a reward, but jealous gossip ultimately led to the hero’s dismissal from the king’s service. A distraught Herne then killed himself. But his story did not end there. In death, Herne transformed in a giant stag-masked hunting god, and has haunted the woods of Windsor Park ever since, leading phantom hounds in a never-ending pursuit of spectral stags. Herne was believed to be real enough, appearing in Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor to terrify a drink-addled Falstaff. The unwary are advised to flee at the sight of Herne, whose bow has been known to seek human victims as well as the creatures of the forest.
Herne is almost certainly a Tudor memory of the Celtic god of the Underworld, the winter deity, stag-headed Cernunnos. The god’s manifestation, like that of Herne, is best avoided by mortals.

spring god rene and winter god alois, they're good for the soul
also in their lore, even gods can have lasting damage done to their physical forms (usually done by significant natural disasters that damage their domain or done by other gods)
alois has holly branches that are usually bare, but around rene, they come to life bc he's happy and in love
rene usually only has blue flowers, blue hyacinths and forget me nots and sometimes blue violas, but after alois came into his life (and he developed a little crush shhh) he grew like, a single sprig of lavender (alois's favorite flower) and a ton of pink flowers like pink roses and pink magnolias
