The '''Priestesses of the Sun''' (also '''Daughters of the Sun''')<ref>In-game document [[Hoshi: Answering the Call]]</ref> were a group of special maidens, who surrounded the [[Sun Queen Himiko]]<ref>In-game document [[Ambassador: First Impressions]]</ref> in [[Tomb Raider (2013)]].

It was the greatest of honors to be selected by the [[Sun Queen]] to become a Priestess of the Sun, and the title raised the family of the lucky maiden to the heights of the [[Yamatai]] society. The [[Sun Queen]] also eventually chooses one of the Priestesses of the Sun to take her place as the ruler of [[Yamatai]].

The daily life of Priestesses of the Sun consisted of being instructed in languages, etiquette, history, warfare - all the skills needed to rule. The [[Sun Queen]] is like a mother to the Priestesses of the Sun, being warm, attentive and loving to them.<ref>In-game document [[Hoshi: At Her Side]]</ref>

During the course of the game, four [[Ancient Scrolls]] written by [[Hoshi]], one of the Priestesses of the Sun, reveal much about what it is like to be a Priestesse of the Sun. Despite being a wanted position, the [[Sun Queen]] also scares her trusted maidens<ref>In-game document [[Hoshi: At Her Side]]</ref> - and becoming the next [[Sun Queen]] scares the Priestesses, especially [[Hoshi]], even more.<ref>In-game document [[Hoshi: In Her Image]]</ref>

Eventually the occupation of being a Priestess of the Sun presumably came to its end, as the [[Ritual]] of becoming the next [[Sun Queen]] was corrupted by [[Hoshi]], leaving the soul of [[Himiko]] trapped to a decaying body.<ref>In-game documents [[Hoshi: An End]] and [[General: Failure of Duty]]</ref>
