Aphrael is a character from the fantasy series Elenium and Tamuli by David and Leigh Eddings. She is one of the thousand younger gods of Styricum and is known as the Child-Goddess, as her preferred form is that of a six-year old girl with grass-stained feet, known to the knights as Flute. She has three known incarnations: Danae, the daughter of Sparhawk and Queen Ehlana; her true form, as an adult woman; and the form of Flute, the six-year old girl, hardly different in appearance from Danae (she takes the form of a child as people trust children more). Due to her habit of being reborn to a mortal follower, Aphrael's 'Flute' incarnation was a sister to Sephrenia. The fact that Flute is an incarnation of Aphrael is known to Styrics but not revealed to Sparhawk until the end of The Ruby Knight. Only Sparhawk, Sephrenia, Vanion, and later Xanetia know Danae is also an incarnation. Berit also notices the similarity between the two girls, and has a conversation about it with Sparhawk's squire Khalad. He can't ever prove it but he suspects.

Aphrael was instrumental in the recovery of the Bhelliom, a magical blue sapphire crafted in the shape of a rose, and its delivery to Sparhawk in The Ruby Knight. She was also involved in stopping Klæl in the The Tamuli.
