Leizi
Leizi, also known as Dianmu (電母) ("Mother of Lightning"), is the Chinese Goddess of Lightning, who is said to have used flashing mirrors to send bolts of lightning across the sky.[1]
She is married to the God of thunder, Leigong. She is one of the gods who work together to produce the phenomena of thunder. Other companions are Yun Tong ("Cloud Youth"), who whips up clouds, and Yu Zi ("Rain Master") who causes downpours by dipping his sword into a pot. Roaring winds rush forth from a type of goatskin bag manipulated by Fengbo ("Earl of Wind"), who was later transformed into Feng Po Po ("Lady Wind").
