Even in the Axis Cult's teachings, her followers are encouraged to live it up however they can whenever they can, since life is too short, the world is too dangerous, [[HellOfAHeaven and the afterlife is too boring]] to take anything else into consideration.

* MundaneUtility: She possesses two very powerful divine items, her staff and her raiment. But Aqua uses the staff as a drying rack for laundry, and Kazuma uses the latter as cleanser/detergent when washing laundry because it has purifying properties. She can purify any liquid on contact into pure water. Kazuma mentions that she'll be the best toilet cleaner in the world, much to her dismay. Kazuma never saw Aqua actually clean the toilet, so it is implied that her mere presence can purify the restroom. She also often uses her water magic for useless party tricks. One of her spells grants the target immense skill/talent when it comes to artistic things, Kazuma felt that this spell was extremely useful. She can fix damaged pieces of art like a torn photograph to perfect condition, build a model robot realistic enough to shock Kazuma--with only milk cartons.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: To the other gods. They were very quick to seize upon her mistake of casually agreeing to become Kazuma's "cheat item", and added a very specific contractual clause to further delay her return (that Kazuma must defeat the Demon King in her presence, a prospect highly unlikely for much of the series, given his low stats and her, Megumin, and Darkness's CripplingOverspecialization).

* CassandraTruth: Hardly anyone believes her when she claims to be the actual water goddess, even after many displays of her extraordinary powers, such as resurrection and summoning a deluge (and Megumin and Darkness, two of her companions, are especially egregious cases). Even her religion, the Axis Cult, is widely dismissed as a fanatical offshoot cult instead of her official religion. This is largely chalked up to the fact that most people expected better of someone superior to the benevolent Eris, the dominant goddess of the world, than the egotistical idiot she really is. [[spoiler:In Volume 16, Kazuma is surprised to learn that Megumin and Darkness had eventually accepted that her feats were too outrageous for her to be human, even though their relationship with her hadn't changed.]]
