to:

A major deity of the Disc.

to:

A major deity of the Disc.Disc, and one of the most feared. He and The Lady are often [[ArchEnemy at odds with each other]].


Added DiffLines:

* OrderVersusChaos: How the conflict between Fate and The Lady is framed, with Fate representing Order and The Lady (Luck) representing Chaos.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation: While she's generally referred to and treated as a Goddess, her character also has shades of being an AnthropomorphicPersonification based on Discworld rules, as she doesn't seem to want anyone to worship her (something which gods generally ''[[GodsNeedPrayerBadly need]]''). Indeed, she actively ''punishes'' any who attempt to actively make a religion around her (temples built in her name often "mysteriously" burn down soon after) or even those who invoke her true name. Despite this lack of open prayer, she's considered one of the more powerful deities on this Discworld. This is partially {{HandWave}}d by saying that everyone believes in luck deep down, at least a little.
