You are a phoenix.

What legend are you?. Take the Legendary Being Quiz by Paradox

"The phoenix was known to both the Russians and the Native Americans. This legendary creature of flame was said to live for thousands of years, and then die in an explosion of flame. When the fire dissipated, the bird would be reborn from it's own ashes."

What were they smoking? I've never heard of the Phoenix in relation to American OR Russian myth. It's famous as an Egyptian myth, that eventually filtered into some of the Greek and Roman stuff.
