History Characters / SmiteJapanesePantheon

* BitingTheHandHumour: One of her jokes has her mocking the fact that there are so many sun-related deities (Ra, Apollo, Khepri, Sol and her) in the game with her inclusion.

* TheLeader, FrontlineGeneral: Amaterasu's style is this in spades. Her style is to stay near her allies while buffing them, sometimes get in front of them to soak damage all while striking at her enemies on her own. She's pretty much leading the charge while delivering a world of hurt on her own. She even has this as a personality, believing that being a TopGod means that she must lead and be a good example of those that followed her.

** GoodIsNotSoft: She may be benevolent, but is far more willing to engage in violence compared to Khepri, and has some lines that edge dangerously close to KnightTemplar territory.

Amaterasu is a Warrior Goddess who has a style focused heavily on buffing herself and her allies while simultaneously debuffing her enemies. Her passive, ''Illuminating Strike'', causes any enemy god she hits with three basic attacks in a short time period to be affected by an aura that causes them and other nearby enemies to take 10% more damage from all sources. Her first ability, ''Divine Presence'', heals herself over time when used and toggles between an aura of Valor, which provides power to nearby allies and herself, and Benevolence, which provides bonus movement speed instead. The aura remains indefinitely until toggled. Her second ability, ''Heavenly Reflection'', causes her to charge her mirror for up to five seconds. During this time, she takes less damage. After the charge is over, or it is cancelled, she fires her mirror straight ahead, damaging all enemies hit, the damage increasing based on how many times she inflicted or received damage during the charge-up. Her third ability, ''Glorious Charge'', has Amaterasu shine light off her sword, briefly silencing enemies in front of her before dashing forward, dealing damage and stopping at the first enemy god hit. Her ultimate, ''Dazzling Offensive'', has her unleash a three-hit combo strike in a cone in front of her, with each strike having increased effectiveness if the prior one hit. The first hit simply deals damage, if that connects the second hit deals increased damage and slows, if that connects the final hit deals even more damage and stuns.

The first Japanese deity and the [[TopGod Top Goddess]] of the Japanese Shinto pantheon. Amaterasu is the child of Izanagi, born from his left eye, and rules the Heavens. She's armed with two of the Sacred Regalia of Japan: Mirror of Yata and Jewel of Yasakani, and aside of that, a normal katana.

* SiblingRivalry: Even when Susano'o is still in datamined status, she still have a kill-quote ready for him, and Amaterasu is still not pleased at his antics before.

* WhatTheHellHero: Amaterasu is probably the first one to call out on Zeus' [[JerkassGods douchebaggery]] and [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] even if he's a fellow TopGod (from Greece)

[[folder: Susanoo]]

The first Japanese deity and the [[TopGod Top Goddess]] of the Japanese Shinto pantheon. Amaterasu is the child of Izanagi, born from his left eye, and rules the Heavens. She's armed with the three Sacred Regalia of Japan: Mirror of Yata, Jewel of Yasakani and the Kusanagi.

* CoolSword: The Kusanagi, which was given to her by her brother Susanoo.

* SwipeYourBladeOff: Her stance swap animation involves her performing ''chiburui'' and flicking the Kusanagi before sheathing it.

* {{Xenafication}}: Amaterasu is usually depicted as a magic-oriented Goddess, draped in robes, and just had the Kusanagi from Susanoo to be put on her side, not exactly using it. In here, however, she's instead taking on the battle more directly, wearing feudal Japanese armor atop of her robe, and is more than willing to use the Kusanagi for slicing...

Amaterasu is a Warrior God that utilizes every of her Regalia to either strike a mighty damage to her enemies or support her team.
