Shekinah is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux.
Profile
Origin
Shekinah[a] is a word of Hebrew origin denoting the omnipresence of God as defined in the Torah, which literally translates to "dwelling" or "setting". The Kabbalah associates Shekinah as a feminine aspect of God.
Design
She appears as a bald woman's head, with entirely white skin and golden lips, eyebrows, and wings protruding from the back scalp. Like Mem Aleph, she has an open third eye, and her irises resemble hypnotic spirals. On her profile is a crack containing three more faces: one smiling, one neutral, and one angry, which are partially obscured and potentially represent the Three Wise Men, all having the same gold eyelashes and lips, and also golden teeth. Behind these faces is a starry purple sky.

After obtaining their true power, the Three Wise Men return to their original form as a god.
Their name originates from the word "dwell" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, a pillar of cloud led people by day while a pillar of fire led them by night. The two Pillars were a sign for God to descend, which they called Shekinah. In Jewish mysticism, Shekinah was seen as the representation of a goddess-like woman hidden for many years. It is roughly defined as "God's bride" and "God's female essence."
