Bogota is a roaming spirit. She has acquired some fame after her spiritual core was identified as a very specific idea: democracy as understood by the people born in 1922-1831 in la Gran Colombia. This concept of democracy includes the views of Colombians across class, religion, and race on the matter. While her spirit is composed of more ideas, this core idea alone is responsible for much of her personal complexity. This writer does not know enough of the people of la Gran Colombia himself, nor of Bogota personally, to write to much about how this idea manifests, but does know that Bogota is someone genuinely concerned with liberty and equality. Her understanding of democracy is incredibly nuanced, such as can only be had by experiencing every role within a nascent, struggling democracy (see also the Veil of Ignorance).

The process of identifying the connection involved a number of miracles, almost-divine beings, eccentric cosmoi, and otherwise improbable occurrence. The process cannot be captured adequately in anything short of a novel, but the reader may trust that the process was infallible. Bogota is the only such spirit to be perfectly identified, though other spirits have been imperfectly identified.

Bogota has never been to Earth. She has lived in Dreamscape for several hundred years. She has requested a number of books about la Gran Colombia, Simón Bolívar, and other related topics. She does not intend to visit, because it is bafflingly far away and the relevant period is already well in the past. La Gran Colombia no longer exists and she suffered an intense depression after learning about the region’s condition in 2019.

It should be noted that her name differs from the city that was the capitol of la Gran Colombia. Bogotá, the city, is pronounced with the emphasis on the last syllable. Bogota is also pronounced in the Spanish style, but with the emphasis on the second o. She chose the name herself as an infant spirit.
