Lightning Goddess aka Lightning Deity (電母), one of the important Deities that are under the supervision of Lord Thunder Pu Hua Tian Zun (九天應元雷聲普化天尊) for rain-pouring and scheduling of storm (行雲佈雨), etc.
In some contexts, Lightning Deity is known as the wife of the Thunder Deity, with the surname Xiu or other as Zhu (姓秀或朱), and people will address her as Xiu Tian Jun or Zhu Tian Jun (稱諱秀天君或朱天君).
So what are the tasks for her (電母職責)?
Her primary task is to release Lightning before Thunder Deity release his Thunder, in-order to minimize the risk of creating any un-necessary disasters. As for her secondary task, she is to assist Thunder Deity to eliminate all evil and un-filial people and make sure all of them get the deserved punishments.
