* GoodCounterpart to: Don Thousand
* Aesir emerged from the cataclysmic events of the First Armageddon, which created the Trinity of Realities. He subsequently became the ruler of the World of Chaos, which eventually became known as the Human World. Watching over humanity, time, and space across infinite possibilities from the holy mountain Fimbulventr, he came to pity humanity for their naivety and lack of free will. Aesir would then choose to grant them free will and the power he wielded was split into two equal halves which he each entrusted to humanity's instincts: the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness. By dividing the power of the eyes of Aesir, humans gained free will and the ability to choose. With control of the Eyes of the World, the eyes that determine destiny, humans could choose their own paths. Because of this, Aesir's soul was split in two and created two embodiments of his personality and powers: Loki, his dark half, who was given the Sovereign Power, and Loptr, his light half, who was given the Prophetic Power. Eventually, humanity gave birth to the negative qualities and sins of the world, such as hatred, betrayal, jealousy, etc. This, in turn, gave rise to the evil within Loptr, who came to regret giving away the Eyes and sought to reclaim his former power.
* Ultimately, Loptr [[spoiler:succeeded in regaining Aesir's power without merging with Loki. However, he was defeated when Bayonetta and Balder, who Loptr himself had brought up from 500 years in the past, summoned Omne, who separated his soul from his body, and Jeanne summoned Gomorrah, who consumed his body. Loptr's soul survived and he attempted to escape to the spirit realm to be reborn in a different era, but Balder intervened and trapped his soul within his body. Afterwards, Balder was transported back into his time and, corrupted by Loptr's evil nature, came up with a plan to resurrect Jubileus. After his plot was foiled, Loptr attempted to escape from Balder's body, but Balder managed to stop him from doing so. As a result, Loptr, along with the Eyes of the World, permanently died along with Balder]].
* When it was discovered that Loptr was still possessing Balder within the Pantheon, Bayonetta went to the Main House to ask how it was possible for him to be present in the pantheon without anyone having noticed it earlier. It was then explained to her that Aesir had actually ascended into the pantheon in the distant past, thus allowing his halves to enter as well. Upon learning of this, Bayonetta asked for Loki to enter as well, which was allowed. Loki was rather surprised to discover that his ascension had restored the Sovereign Power to him. After adjusting to being in the pantheon, Loki and Bayonetta concocted a plan to free Balder and, to his reluctance, merge Loki and Loptr back together. Part of the plan required Loki to use his Sovereign Power to take the Left Eye from Bayonetta, which had similarly been restored to her upon her ascension. During a subsequent battle, Balder, under Loptr's influence, attempted to steal the Sovereign Power from Loki once again, but interference from Bayonetta and several other gods instead resulted in Loptr's soul being removed from Balder and subsequently merging, along with the Right Eye, with Loki, finally restoring Aesir once more.
* Although he expressed his gratefulness towards Bayonetta and the others for stopping his evil half, Aesir explained that his continued existence in his true form would eventually result in humanity losing their free will once again. After consulting the gods of the Main House, it was decided that a spell would be put on Aesir that would periodically force his halves to fuse back into him, thus allowing him to split back into Loki and Loptr again and ensure humanity's free will.
* Aesir, Loki and Loptr each have differing attitudes towards Jubileus and Queen Sheba. Aesir generally tends to remain neutral between the two, as he prefers to maintain balance. Loki is rather dismissive of both of them, preferring to generally just avoid them. Loptr, on the other hand, has actively allied himself with Jubileus and opposes Queen Sheba. However, his alliance with Jubileus is somewhat shaky due to her not fully trusting him, unsure as to whether or not he intends to give the Eyes of the World to her or keep them for himself.
* Exclusive to Aesir:
** As the God of Chaos, Aesir is incredibly powerful. Through his Sovereign Power, he can freely control the Eyes of the World. With the Eyes, he is capable of manipulation and control over all of reality. He can see the past, present, and future, the fate of any being, and see through "everything". Through the Remembrances of Time, Aesir can manipulate time by taking a "snapshot" of a given area or object. This allows him to later recreate an area/object and restore it to its past glory from any changes over time that happened to it since said "snapshot". It can also allow him to see the truth of events that had transpired. However, Aesir's true power is that of Nothingness: the power to erase anything and everything from existence, putting him directly on par with [[Pantheon/AuthorityFigures Grand Zeno]].
** Although he's benevolent, Aesir prefers to stay uninvolved in the various conflicts in the pantheon, as he wishes to preserve the balance between good and evil. When approached by Lucifer with an offer to join the GUAC, Aesir explained that, although he somewhat agrees with their end goal, he does not approve of their methods and, as such, rejected the offer.
** Being a creator deity, Aesir gets along quite well with the other creator deities such Eru Ilúvatar, the Highest Joy, the Alpha and Omega, the God who talks to Bob, and Chuck Shurley, all of whom share his desire to preserve free will. All of them sympathize with the fact that he needs to split himself in order to ensure humanity's free will, allowing his evil half to run around free in the process. However, his interactions with Chuck have soured quite a bit after he learned about how [[spoiler:Chuck treats the universe and humanity like his {{Cosmic Plaything}}s and manipulated Sam and Dean [[ItAmusedMe for his own amusement]]]].
** Aesir is also on good terms with Amara, Raava and Ezalor. He was happy to hear of how Amara and Chuck had reconciled and chose to travel the universe together. However, although he gets along with Raava and Ezalor, he doesn't entirely approve of how they both wish to suppress and/or eliminate darkness, as he believes that it could cause an imbalance that could lead to more harm in the future.
** In contrast to most chaos gods, Aesir serves as the overseer of the balance between good and evil, rather than as some kind of destructive force. As a result, he opposes the various other chaos gods in the pantheon. He regards Eliphas, Don Thousand, Galeem, Dharkon, Vaatu and the Chaos Knight as good examples of how [[BothOrderAndChaosAreDangerous order and chaos are both dangerous]] when not kept in balance. In particular, he regards Galeem and Dharkon as being especially dangerous due to how they nearly managed to wipe out all the Smash Fighters and how Dharkon managed to seize the puppet fighters from Galeem's control to his own, momentarily gaining a considerable advantage over his counterpart. Aesir is also especially wary of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and GOLB, both of whom represent the PrimordialChaos which predates the universe and wish to return all of existence back to that state.
** Unsurprisingly, Aesir quickly came to oppose YHVH and the GUAL. Many have noted that Aesir is a good {{foil}} to gods such as YHVH and Kronika. Where YHVH is an evil God of Order and Kronika is a sadistic Keeper of Time, Aesir is a good God Of Chaos. Where YHVH and Kronika are huge believers in TheEvilsOfFreeWill, Aesir is the one that actually gave his world's humanity free will. Where YHVH and Kronika intentionally pit two factions against each other, Aesir oversees the BalanceOfGoodAndEvil.
** ''"Where we only see reality and make it match our rules of the world, Aesir saw through reality, and those visions became our world. These observations became Aesir's power. Aesir's eyes were truly the eyes that created the world."''
* Exclusive to Loki:
** Loki frequently spends time with Bayonetta, Jeanne and Father Balder. He's particularly happy that Balder has finally [[spoiler:been freed from Loptr's influence]]. When not hanging out with them, he tends to play tricks on various deities throughout the pantheon.
** He surprised to discover that there were other deities in the pantheon with whom he [[spoiler:shared his name]]. He was once forced by Bayonetta to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwHFrXLX4AAeCCc.jpg travel alongside her, Kratos and Atreus up a mountain]]. Although he disliked it at first, he eventually befriended Atreus, appreciating his kindness and compassion. He's also on good terms with the Archangel Gabriel, who similarly likes playing tricks on people and had passed himself off as the Asgardian Loki in the past. Speaking of which, however, Loki also became enemies with the Asgardian Loki, who strongly reminds him of Loptr.
** Loki's use of Tarot cards drew the attention Madame Xanadu, who was initially annoyed by the youth's snarky attitude which, combined with his British accent, strongly reminded her of [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes John Constantine]]. However, she came to respect Loki upon learning of his true identity.
** Loki was quick to befriend Ryoji Mochizuki, who was similarly an amnesiac who was unaware of [[spoiler:being a god]]. Loki sympathizes with how Ryoji was [[spoiler:unwittingly the harbinger of the apocalypse in his own universe]], and was glad to hear that things ultimately turned out well. Loki is similarly on friendly terms with Joshua, although Joshua's attitude typically results in Loki playing a prank on him.
** Loki is also on good terms with Zen and Rei, a deity and human couple who were similarly amnesiacs. Loki particularly bonded with Zen over how they're both [[spoiler:components of other gods]]. Loki also strongly sympathized with them over the circumstances that resulted in their amnesia as well as Rei [[spoiler:finding out that she is a ghost and DeadAllAlong]].
** Loki gets along reasonably well with the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, who has a surprisingly decent grasp on Loki and Loptr's situation due to formerly having been Jyggalag, a deity of order, before being transformed into his diametric opposite and the two currently existing as separate beings.
** ''"You don't need the Eyes of the World, love. I believe in your kind. You can create whatever future you desire."''
* Exclusive to Loptr:
** Loptr is extremely annoyed by how he's forced to periodically merge back with Loki and, when not targeting Loki directly, spends extended periods of time looking for a way to once again regain his Aesir form without Loki. He's interested in the Fusion Program-enhanced tech of [[Pantheon/CombinedForms Mido]], but is rather reluctant to try and use it due to how it tends to cause the resulting fusions to suffer from a severe case of [[AxCrazy violent madness]] and eventual [[SanitySlippage breakdown of sanity]]. Similarly, [[Pantheon/SchoolTypes Mao]] has expressed an interest in using Loptr and Loki as test subjects for his own fusion machine. However, Loptr declined the offer due to the fact that Mao has trouble building such a machine without it [[StuffBlowingUp blowing up on him]].
** Despite his temporary betrayal of YHVH in order to ascend Jubileus, Loptr has continued to cooperate with him and the GUAL due to their shared goal. He's also on good terms with Chakravartin and Zanza, as he shares the former's manipulative nature and the latter's desire to [[InTheirOwnImage recreate the world in his own image]].
** Surprisingly, he's willing to work with demons like Satan, Fortinbras and Mundus. Although Loptr himself tends to avoid directly answering why he works with them, it's generally accepted that he's just using them as a means to an end.
** Due to his [[HumansAreBastards disdainful view of humanity]], Loptr enjoys working with evil humans, especially those who [[TranshumanTreachery forsook their humanity]], as they reinforce his belief that humans don't deserve to have free will. As such, he occasionally works with the likes of Enrico Pucci, [[spoiler:Sun Li]], Ragyo Kiryuin and Relius Clover. However, his alliance with Ragyo resulted in him becoming enemies with her daughter Ryuko Matoi, although he generally doesn't view her as much of a threat to him.
** Loptr strongly dislikes the GUAC and especially its leader Lucifer, as his desire to create a world with absolute freedom where all sentient beings are free to do as they please is something that Loptr finds abhorrent. Loptr has stated that when he fully regains the powers of Aesir, he intends his first action to be the elimination of Lucifer.
** Aside from Bayonetta herself, Loptr has also become enemies with her various allies in the Pantheon, such as Gene and Akeno Himejima. Dante and Vergil Sparda also both oppose him, having been suspicious of him back when he was still controlling Balder. When Sparda himself ascended, his friendships with both the Umbra Witches and the liberated Balder would infuriate Loptr to no end, especially when Loki was quick to boast of it as a gain.
** ''"Human free will is a joke; it is a worthless illusion. You need only obey me."''

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Leeroy Jenkins]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Lúcio]], Tiki
* Long ago, the Ashunera discarded all of her emotions, which took the form of [[GodOfChaos Yune]]. This left her as Ashera, the [[GodOfOrder Goddess of Order and Restriction]]. After failing to wipe out all of the beorc and laguz, Ashera decided to follow Yune into the [[Pantheon/TropePantheons Trope Pantheon]].
* Upon ascending, Ashera thought her ideal House would be Pantheon/OrderAndChaos, only to notice [[OrderVersusChaos how much conflict there was in that house]]. About half of these fellow Gods were enemies, while the rest prioritized order like Ashera does. She also took residence in Divine Roles, where she also noticed a conflict between order and chaos. Suffice to say, her introduction to these houses has only exasperated the situation.
* As soon as she saw Sephiran in the Pantheon, she accepted him into her services once again, the latter returning to his Goddess. The Black Knight quickly followed, since Ashera is his master's master. However, when upon seeing Yune, Ashera immediately prioritized her destruction, and this time, she's not settling for her being sealed away inside a medallion. Ike also drew her unwanted attention since [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu he killed her]] with Yune's help. Micaiah hates her for not having any compassion for her own allies who fight for her. Grima is another target that she opposes. They wish to destroy everything, but she wishes for everything to be replaced with another, newer species. Grima tells her that mortals will always find ways to be evil and that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never create a species that bends to her wishes.
* When Ashera learned about the [[TableTopGame/Warhammer40000 Four Chaos Gods]], she deemed them to be an immediate threat to be wiped from existence. Where Yune only feared them, Ashera is willing to wait until her powers are fully restored to turn them into stone before they can learn of her existence, [[NoNonsenseNemesis taking no chances]].
* In regards to Manga/OnePiece, Ashera has employed Akainu/Sakazuki into her services. Sakazuki has taken note of her orderly outlook and her [[SuperEmpowering blessings]] will allow him to destroy all pirates in the Pantheon. The pirates (as well as the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare) remind her too much of the conflicts that caused her to awaken and to discard her emotions, and [[HumansAreFlawed humanity's faults in general]].
* Malthael has caught her attention with [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill his end goal]]. Ashera is in agreement; if mortals are unable to choose between what they can do, they will not become evil and remain orderly. With their combined power, only a select few in the Pantheon can stop them.
* Pantheon/OrderAndChaos is one heck of a roller coaster:
** LeeroyJenkins isn't so much of an enemy as he is a distraction, so he's a low priority on her [[TakenForGranite petrification list]]. The same cannot be said about Turles, who uses the Tree of Might to sap the life out of entire planets in order to power himself and his Crusher Corps. Lúcio has a problem with Ashera's plans since she's unwilling to give humanity a second chance. He'd much rather be friends with her {{Foil}} Yune. Ashera is opposed to Don Thousand [[ChaosIsEvil on principle]]. The latter sees her as a reflection of Eliphas, but without the ability to [[DuelsDecideEverything challenge her to a card game]], he had to fight her the old fashioned way. Loptr at first seemed trustworthy to Ashera, but seeing how he's responsible for half of the bad things they've done while claiming they need to be purged is nothing short of [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]]. That said, Loki's not too content with her [[BadBoss petrifying her own loyal followers]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after she's done with them]].
** On the flip side, Hotaru sees Ashera as a worthy ally since her ideals align nicely with his. Since chaos will always lead to conflict, he thinks it's best that Ashera succeeds in her plans for humanity since HumansAreBastards. Yaldabaoth was made from humanity's desire to maintain order, so Ashera gets along well with them. Even Death the Kid is willing to side with Ashera. The kinds of dangers that Ashera seeks to rid the Pantheon of remind him of [[TheCorrupter the Kishin's madness]].
* Divine Roles also is a bit of a doozy:
** She has made herself fierce enemies with Sheogorath for their opposite alignments, with Sheogorath seeing her a complete stuffy bore while Ashera sees him as a ditzy fool.
** On the other hand, she made allies with Shekinah because of their desire to create a truly orderly world and their hatred of chaos. YHVH is pleased about gaining more allies, much to Lucifer's dismay.
* The Goddess has noticed how similar her plans are to that of Soul Caliber. They both want to render everyone in a permanent dormant state for [[OrderIsNotGood reasons related to order]]. The details are different (Soul Caliber uses ice), but they're close enough. Madara Uchiha is another potential partner. [[SuperpowerLottery As if he wasn't strong enough already]], Ashera's blessings ensure that his [[LotusEaterMachine Infinite Tsukuyomi]] would go off without a hitch. Not even [[spoiler:a surprise betrayal from Black Zetsu]] could get through [[NighInvulnerability Mantle]].
* Also has a spot in Pantheon/OrderAndChaos.

* Chakravartin is the creator and god of the world of Gaea, and the true identity of the Golden Spider. The embodiment of Samsara, he comes off as a distant if loving god, but in truth is [[GodIsEvil a cold-hearted sociopath]] who masterminds tragedy for his benefit. He would mastermind conflict in Gaea, all for his greater purposes. Learning of the Trope Pantheon, Asura now seeks to play his [[MultiArmedAndDangerous many, many hands]].
** He has earned Asura's great ire for kidnapping Mithra, but they must settle their score in their own world before settling it in the Pantheon. As far as the outcome, the Pantheon consulted The Fates: the last images seen were [[ColonyDrop the Brahmastra falling to Earth]], and Asura and Yasha fighting one another again. "This is going to be fun", was the one comment The Golden Spider made on this subject.
** After his defeat at the hands of Asura, he has had very little to say due to coming down with a case of acute 'Missing half of your face' syndrome.
* For a time, Chakravartin would serve as the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the Embodiment of the Wheel of Life]], going by his Golden Spider form. However it wasn't considered a specific enough trope for him, and enough time had passed that [[ItWasHisSled everyone knew the truth about him]]. Chakravartin has re-instated himself as the God of [[TheMaker Prime Movers]], likely to keep an eye on others in the House of Faith.
** Considers YHVH to be his main rival in the god department. In his own house, he sits next to Aleph, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and God. With Aleph, he's concerned he may try to kill him as he did YHVH. With the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he regards him as horribly irresponsible and a mockery to the divine. He hasn't anything to say about God, but God thinks [[GodIsEvil he's undeserving of his Creator status]].
* Chakravartin believes himself to be [[GodIsGood a wise and beneficent Creator]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist who only causes suffering to get an heir and be free to other worlds]]. [[SubvertedTrope He's not a good god]]. [[GodIsEvil He really isn't]]. He may use an OmniscientMoralityLicense, [[ShutUpHannibal but Asura rightly told him to shove it up his ass]]. Team Dai-Gurren agrees, seeing him as another selfish, ruthless monster like the Anti-Spiral. For now, Chakravartin has teamed up with the Anti-Spiral in order to counter both Asura and Spiral Power.
** Has sought to recreate the conflict with other gods. So far, he's gotten Dartz, Lysandre and Apocalypse on his side; Dartz and Lysandre to fulfill their dreams of [[KnightTemplar a better world]] through destruction, and Apocalypse by fanning the flames of war.
** Zanza can get behind Chakravartin's views, as they both agree [[ItsAllAboutMe the world exists for them]] and feel they're better off working together. Fellow creator deity Arceus doesn't get along, as Chakravartin hoped to ensnare the weaker Alpha Pokemon for his own purposes and Arceus thinks he's a terrible god.
* He is virtually the only known individual in the Pantheon to talk down to '''Melkor''' of all people, and does it to his face, citing that as the spinner of life in Asura's universe, and with Melkor having been created by [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Eru]], the "Lord of the Rings" universe's {{God}}, he is above him. To quote what he said: "I am the Creator of all life in my world; you are merely a '''creation''' of your God". Melkor has apparently vowed to squash him for this "insult".
** Given his spider form and disdain for Melkor, it would seem that Ungoliant and he would get along. However, the AnimalisticAbomination could not help but try and feast on the life force he emanated, resulting in Chakravartin swatting her away. He does permit [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Arachne]] to visit his webs, possibly as some sort of scheme against the Greek gods of the pantheon.
** Tends to distance himself from [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Nekron]], and has been seen making a spider's web in a tree near The Entity's residence, claiming that as fellow weavers of life, he's comfortable around the White Light Entity. Nekron and the GUAD seek to despoil the lifestreams they maintain, in hopes of making the annihilation of all life an easier feat.
* Chakravartin is the master of Mantra, cosmic energies produced by the emotions from souls and prayers. Interestingly, the eight forms of Mantra are similar to the SevenDeadlySins. Some suspect Chakravartin may be [[SatanicArchetype a devil, rather than a god]]. He reacted, dispassionate yet [[TranquilFury clearly furious]]; "I am no servant of a higher being, fallen or otherwise. I ''am'' a higher being, '''never''' claim otherwise."
** Chakravartin is in control of reincarnation in his world, however, cannot reincarnate himself and thanks to Asura killing his "mortal" body cannot survive outside the pantheon. [[{{Understatement}} He considers this to be... unfortunate]]. Has been also trying to usurp Virtuous' position as the goddess of reincarnation.
** In his Golden Spider form, he rules Naraka; an afterlife realm with an endless number of pillars. Often will associate with the House of Life and Death because of this.
* Like most [[{{God}} Creator Deities]], The Golden Spider remains silent on the subject of YHVH. While he claims his form is simply [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith an efficient guise]], the explanation is at odds with his requiring Mithra's body as a temporary vessel and the small fact that YHVH's upper-tier Angels have started carrying golden flyswatters.
** Is amused by "The God of Light" Fortinbras and decided to work alongside this Creator God for the moment as a means to further his own plans.
** Knows [[spoiler:what lurks in Balder]] and through that connection has gained angels to work alongside The Golden Spider.
* As one of the most powerful entities in the Pantheon, Chakravartin has interest in other Overdeities. Lucifer has nothing but disdain towards him, seeing the Creator as similar to YHVH. Gaea, in particular, has a personal vendetta towards him for being the mastermind behind Gohma Vlitra, whom she regards as a parasite trying to usurp her being.
** May have picked [[TimeStandsStill his time-freezing powers]] from Dio Brando. Dio Brando considers him a possible rival in that field and may seek to usurp his power one day.
** Though Chakravartin may best [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus]] in combat, he prefers not to provoke him. His experiences with Asura has made him wary of destruction deities, and he doesn't have a reason to antagonize the Overdeity.

* The Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos is the opposite force to fight against the God of Discord, Chaos. Summoning warriors across time and space, the two of them have been fighting each other with their selective champions to one day finally defeat one another. When the Pantheon was in its earliest days and the Grand United Alliance of Good was being formed, her ability to unite multiple heroes together was the deciding factor for her to be the leader of such a grand order.
** However, there is more to Cosmos than just a beautiful deity. [[spoiler:She is in fact a [[ArtificialHuman Manikin]] who was designed after, and has the memories of, the wife of Cid of the Lufaine, in order to keep [[LivingWeapon Chaos]] under control. Eventually she, Chaos and Cid escaped their world through the Interdimensional Rift into "World B". There the three of them as well as the warrior Garland made a deal with the dragon deity Shinryu. As part of the pact, Cosmos became a goddess thanks to Shinryu's powers to fight in an endless loop against Chaos, with them sending warriors to be sacrificed to make Shinryu stronger with their memories and powers, as well as make Chaos stronger until he is strong enough to open the Rift again to get everyone back to their homeworld.]]
** [[spoiler:Ultimately, though, the Warriors of Cosmos started to influence her and the once-pawn of the cycle wanted to make it stop. She believed that, by giving her warriors fragments of her power as Crystals, they would unlock their true potential, and after letting herself get killed in order to break the cycle, they could defeat Chaos once and for all so that everyone could return from whence they came. Needless to say, she was successful.]]
** Even though [[spoiler:she herself is gone, her will reincarnated as Materia and Chaos' own into Spiritus]] when a [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015 new cycle of war suddenly popped up]]. While [[spoiler:the two started fighting without knowing much of anything about their past selves, they ultimately decided to keep on fighting in more of a good spirit in order to maintain balance in World B]]. Cosmos hopes Materia [[spoiler:and Spiritus]] will do a good job in World B without her help.
** There has been some speculation on Cosmos' origins. [[Pantheon/ShinMegamiTensei The deities of the ''Persona'' universe]] believe the Goddess of Harmony to be an AnthropomorphicPersonification of goodness itself, born when virtue first crystalized as a philosophy somewhere in the multiverse. Some Christian deities believe Cosmos to be a former angel, based on her appearance, who was unhappy with their Lord's oversight of mortals and became a deity herself to advance her own virtuous ideals. [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Sailor Moon]] has a theory that Cosmos could be Sailor Cosmos, the greatest Sailor Guardian in history, or an [[AlternateSelf alternate version]] of her. Some of the [[Pantheon/StarWars Jedi]] see Cosmos as an embodiment of the Light Side of the Force. For her part, Cosmos prefers to let people know that goodness comes from within, not without.
* Cosmos was around during the Pantheon's early days and was given the title of the '''[[GodOfGood Goddess of Good]]'''. At first, Eru Iluvatar was leading the GUAG but as he was not used to front-lining leadership he needed an active replacement; Cosmos volunteered to replace him and as he reviews her previous experiences, Eru considers worthy and declared her the new Leader of the Grand United Alliance of Good. They both still maintain a cordial relationship to this day. Gygax & Arneson had also arrived to the Pantheons as early as Cosmos and Eru, only slightly later than them. Cosmos and Eru are thankful for their new position as leaders of the Pantheon and they hope the two will help maintain the balance further, given their experience as dungeon masters.
* Even though she is the leader of the GUAG, she isn't really one to fight her own battles. While she can fight, her powers mainly focus on protecting her warriors than outright fighting herself. That being said, she can give anyone the right advice to give them the morale boost they need, and if she needs to, she can bestow fragments of her powers to other warriors to make them stronger.
** She is rather accepting when it comes to who want to join the GUAG. As long as they want to do good, she is more than willing to accept them in. But please, if you want to do some sort of divisive gambit, make sure you talk to her first. [[spoiler:She doesn't want the events of the 12th cycle of happening again where Kain and Warrior of Light kept on slaying the other warriors to protect them from the Manikins.]] She also recognises, like Philemon, that people cannot be forced into doing good because to truly do so, it must be voluntary. Forcing people to join her alignment would make the GUAG hypocritical and more like the GUAL or GUAE in nature.
** She also does fair amount of counselling to the GUAG members, mentoring them to the best of her abilities if they need it. She has heard it all from every branch of the "Good" alignment, to the [[ActualPacifist most stern pacifists]] to the [[BloodKnight most battle-hungry heroes]]. [[spoiler:She even takes the time to listen to non-GUAG members requiring soul-searching from other alliances. Jaime Lannister is one of those examples, with her giving the former Kingslayer necessary advice to break free of Cersei's [[{{Twincest}} toxic influence]] and encourage him to train in other fighting arts to humble himself]].
* To bolster her forces, Cosmos resummoned the Warriors of Light again because to her, it's better to first bring in who you know into the fray. They in turn were glad to see her and once they are informed of the bigger ForeverWar going on far greater than the conflict of World B, the Warriors are ready to fight for her once again. Especially the Warrior of Light, who is greatly faithful and loyal to her and Cosmos in turn sees him as a valuable servant to care for. It doesn't surprise her that Lord Chaos had also ascended at around the same time as her, with the Warriors of Chaos coming in later and gradually. Chaos claims that he'll fight her once again just like before, but so far he hasn't made much strikes against her, probably due to Melkor opposing her more and [[spoiler:being reminded of his own mother whenever he sees her again]]. Either way, Cosmos is going to be watching his next step along with his warriors, especially Kefka Palazzo who had threatened World B a few times on his own and proved to be more deadly.
* As she is the big leader, Cosmos is automatically allies with the members of the GUAG Command who are big and important members of the organization. They definitely treat each other more as equals than with a chain of command but nonetheless still defer to Cosmos as her good morals provide a true final say in whatever matter they brought up. It's a very long list, but some specific allies there had some interesting relations...
** Cosmos kinda likes [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Alexander the Great]]'s antics and believed in the "conquering by befriending together" philosophy he follows and she can hold her liquor against the finest wines, something that pleasantly surprises Alexander. She also believed in the Power of Bonds and keeps the line when [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Tokugawa Ieyasu]] is starting to stray off, and thus Ieyasu considers her a good friend. [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Rachel Alucard]] actually respects Cosmos and often decreases her snarking tendencies around her presence; although Cosmos was a little put off with her tendency of "doing things because she's bored" and wished Rachel would get serious, she still appreciates her knowledge and commands. [[Pantheon/OtherRelatives Reed Richards]] is fine with her as long as she lets him do whatever he wants and [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Jean-Luc Picard]] likes her stance on morality and upholding the dignity of all beings, civilizations, and cultures, not to mention she opposes despotism and inflicting suffering on others; in fact, he was so moved, he gave [[PatrickStewartSpeech a passionate speech]] in defense of her ideals. [[Pantheon/MilitaryTechnology Lady Honor Harrington]] also respects her for her achievements and the fact that she was able to rally such a high number of good-aligned deities under a single banner, even plenty of anti-heroes and anti-villains.
** Cosmos have also admired [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Makoto Yuki and Kotone Shiomi]]'s tactical prowess in combat and counts on them to lead their allies old and new and in turn, the two are loyal to her as she proves to bring a breath of fresh air since Nyx and Erebus. [[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Commander Samuel Vimes]] is loyal to enforcing the law and justice, not her (as he has a bit of contempt for serving any deity, even though he is one); however, he does realize the GUAE are threatening law and order, and is helping Cosmos because as a copper, it's what he supposed to do. The same goes for [[Pantheon/{{Economics}} Captain Alex]] who is glad that Cosmos allows him to [[ForGreatJustice fight against the criminals of the Pantheons]]. Cosmos respects [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Josiah Bartlet]]'s commitment to America, but has asked he extends his patriotism to helping all those who have been oppressed by evil which is more than fair in his opinion, and thus Bartlet has pledged his support for her. [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Tommy Oliver]] is more than willing to help Cosmos even if he wants to go back to teaching, [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ Yoda]] share a close friendship with her which is maybe out of being old, [[Pantheon/{{Eyewear}} Date Masamune]] have numerous reasons to join yet is still very loyal to her and [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Havelock Vetinari]] feels allying with her is necessary to his currently unclear plans.
* Despite the quick assumption that Chaos is Cosmos' greatest adversary, he pales compared to Melkor. Like him, Cosmos have not met Melkor before being appointed as the leader of the GUAG and if he did, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is [[MagneticHero able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds]] to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. She surmised that his BadBoss reputation within the GUAE has deterred new recruits from joining.
** By virtue, Cosmos also opposes Melkor's fellow Horsemen Griffith, Majin Buu and Johan Liebert. Their depravity (Griffith and Johan especially) are deplorable and dangerous enough for Cosmos that she decided to build more morale and warnings against their terror. The other Horsemen do see her as a formidable foe after Melkor first briefed them about her, with Griffith being assured that destiny will be at his favour and not Cosmos, Majin Buu looks forward to killing her himself and Johan looks forward to demoralizing her subordinates just so he can make her despair. Other GUAE high-ranking members Cosmos are enemies with are Malebolgia and Damien Thorn, the latter of which is closer to Melkor as a honorary "son" of sorts; they too also see her as an enemy with Malebolgia finding her no better than the God he knows even though she is miles more virtuous than Him and Damien sees her as a hindrance to his mission of bringing hell on Earth.
* Besides Melkor, Cosmos opposes the other GUA leaders YHVH, Lucifer, and Nekron because they have less-than-benevolent agendas to take over the Pantheons and for everyone involved. YHVH respects her to some degree as she has managed to unify so many heroes under one banner but the fact she oppose him still lies, which is disappointing as YHVH sees her potential on keeping Order throughout many realms. While Lucifer acknowledges her as an adversary and has no intention of losing the War of the Alliances to her, he also [[WorthyOpponent respects her]] quite a bit and has noted that if someone besides him absolutely had to be the winner of the War, he would much rather it be her than the others; because after all, she too acknowledges the dignity of sentient beings and respects their right to freedom while Melkor and YHVH are both, as he put it, "on a self-indulgent ego trip". As for Nekron, he also opposes her by virtue as she hinders their plans of omnicide.
** Believe it or not, her biggest concern when it comes to one particular deity is not the other faction leaders, but Shinryu. She fears that with her being the head of GUAG would mean that the ForeverWar nature of the Pantheon could keep on making Shinryu stronger and stronger. Not only that, but she fears that Shinryu could easily depower her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness the moment he is bored with her.]] From this, it is questionable that Cosmos can even count as an Overdeity. When the Court reviewed her ascension, they determined that her power level makes her a borderline Greater Goddess, but her status as the greatest example of pure good in the Pantheon lets her keep her current rank. This makes her weaker than the other Alliance leaders, and her influence lower than theirs. When not battling, Melkor milks this power gap for all its worth.
*** Luckily, it turns out that even if he's more powerful than her and Chaos, Shinryu still doesn't stand a chance against other and more powerful deities. It's still not enough to quell her fears though, as he is allying with more villainous deities in order to stay alive and have a chance at her.
*** One could argue that Cosmos' true power comes from the GUAG, which is arguably the most powerful alliance in the Pantheon due to the power of its members (which includes several Overdeities and ''many'' Greater Gods), sheer numbers, and the loyalty many members have to Cosmos herself. Cosmos also has the favor of deities who preserve cosmic balance such as [[Pantheon/{{Continuities}} Alpheus the World-Forger]], [[Pantheon/FantasticalJobs Uatu the Watcher]], [[Pantheon/CelestialBodiesAndStars Eternity]] and several of [[Pantheon/DCComics the Endless]]. Despite her lack of personal power compared to the other alliance leaders, Cosmos is one of the most influential deities in the Pantheon, to a degree that even Overdeities would envy.
** Other villains who Cosmos came to oppose are Frank Underwood and Ultraman Belial who are allied with the GUAE and the GUAD respectively. Both have seen her as a goody-two-shoes who shouldn't get in their way of their aims to conquer with Underwood privately stating that he "only prays to himself" and Belial having a sour reminder of the Ultras whenever he sees Cosmos.
* Throughout the cycles in World B, Cosmos and Lord Chaos wage war that in some ways, preserve balance and more so when Materia and Spiritus carries on that later on [[spoiler:with the two doing so in good spirit after defeating Shinryu together]]. It's why she has disdain for Kronika and her children Cetrion and Shinnok who established the conflict in their world so that it fits Kronika's idea of balance and order which she sees as a perversion to the usual [[BlackAndWhiteMorality good-versus-evil conflict]]. Not to mention that Cetrion would planned that if she were to take control of the Hourglass, it would be way too similar to the things Cosmos once tried to stop. Kronika scoffed at her as she had expected that Cosmos is too virtuous both for her own good and unfit for her ideal order, with Cetrion agreeing and called it a shame that they are not allies and Shinnok is reminded of Raiden at his most righteous when seeing her.
** Another pair of seemingly opposite deities who are nonetheless no different than each other are the Daedric Princes Molag Bal and Meridia. Molag Bal is the closest being to a GodOfEvil in his world and he did numerous atrocites that disgusted Cosmos greatly, such as starting the first rape that gave rise to the first of TheUndead and vampires just to spite the god of birth and death Arkay and enjoying corruption of the purest of heroes, making no better than worst of Chaos and/or Shinryu; Molag Bal likewise sees her as just like Meridia and made it very clear however grand or [[EvilIsPetty petty]].
*** Speaking of Meridia, Cosmos and by extension many in the GUAG would rather not associate themselves with the Lady of Infinite Energies after hearing about her manipulations during [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Molag Bal's Planemeld]] and support of the Elven race called the [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleids]] in the past and their resurfacing sometime around the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion Crisis]] when one of them attempts to overthrow the Divines and as such frequently butt heads with eachother should the situation allow them to cross paths. Cosmos and the Alliance are firmly for prioritizing all life whereas Meridia would only look out for the select few, and the few are perfectly liable to be culled if she deems it necessary in some way, shape, or form. Both Cosmos and Meridia have since been common opponents of one another.
** Cosmos then heard of the Ones, who have established the balance of the Force in their world and as expected, she got along with the Daughter for being women who championed for good. She was more than willing to let her join, while also being sympathetic towards The Daughter for having to oppose her brother. That said, The Daughter does not take direct action unless the The Son is involved. The reason is that she still wishes to fallow her father's orders, so she primarily takes a position in the Pantheon/GUAGMedicalDivision; there, she can user her Force Powers with great effect without disobeying her father. Seeing that, Cosmos is reminded of her situation with her father and creator Cid of the Lufaine and hopes to find a way to ascend him soon.
** Kreia doesn't like Cosmos as she sees her, Melkor and their respective organizations to be either extremely naive or too temperamental for their own good, and believes that balance is the key, something that neither sides have ever accomplished throughout their years[[note]]Kreia is still not aware of Materia and Spiritus' current situation but don't tell her that...[[/note]]. For a time, she also considered this to be the case for good and evil and why the ideals for the heroes to be utilitarian made them inhuman (and weak for those who show mercy) and the villains to be extremely selfish. Cosmos is dismayed that the circumstances in Kreia's life caused her to view the Force very bleakly and became vigilant in case she tries to derail the entire war, but she has taken her view that the Force is dangerous with a grain of salt because who knows if the Force really does cause imbalances to all of the Pantheons.
* As she was created in the image of Cid of the Lufaine's wife, Cosmos was redirected to Trish, a demon who is made to look like Dante's mother and Sparda's wife Eva in order to lure Dante. Unexpectedly finding a kindred spirit in a goddess [[spoiler:who started out as a Manikin]], Trish appreciates her company though she would like her more if she wasn't getting lectures in the way she's dressing. Sparda himself is also reminded of his wife when seeing her, and since Eva is currently his Herald the women do meet from time to time, which is something Sparda is very welcome to. It also helps that he has mutual respect towards the House of Heroism and he's partnered with the Sacred Knights.
* In terms of really close friends, they tend to be other high-end gods who are GodOfGood, at least in their setting. Aside from Eru, The Monitor and Ahura Mazda have provided big help towards the GUAG with the former being more willing to bring in villains and other morally grey beings should Cosmos is unable to call them in. Like Eru, Gan takes a hands-off approach in helping the GUAG and counts on Cosmos in doing the rest; the same goes for Dream of the Endless and he'll intervene to help her should the forces of evil become to powerful to handle like the aforementioned Barbatos. Mata Nui and Philemon are also strong allies of Cosmos in the Pantheons, with Mata Nui preferring her presence over YHVH's and Philemon was initially distrusted by her until Tatsuya Suou's intervention forced him to better himself which Cosmos hopes he'll stay on the right track.
* Cosmos had recently helped Captain America in re-establishing the House of Pantheon/{{Defense}} as a non-partisan force dedicated to rescuing innocent civilians and minimizing property damage. The first among them are chaos, the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, Aang, Amaterasu and Athena. chaos respects those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity or all of creation and she is an example of that though he did have some initial confusion over her name which are somewhat similar[[note]]KOS-MOS & Cosmos[[/note]] that he managed to quickly cleared up. Cosmos also has a diplomatic alliance with the PPC and supports their endeavors in their mission to maintain the continuum and that they'll make it in spite of their [[DysfunctionJunction dysfunctional work environment]], her relations with Aang go back to the Pantheonic Rebellion and has strengthen since because of their shared desire to protect all of the living and the same goes with Amaterasu and Athena though the latter is a little harder to work with considering some of her questionable actions.
** Related to her alliance with the PPC, Cosmos started to oppose Barbatos, the Anti-Monitor and the Nothing for being threats to all of fiction and its inhabitants once they warn her of their threats. Barbatos taunts her and vows to pull the Pantheons into the Dark Multiverse with her helpless, the Anti-Monitor also vowing to destroy everything even fiction that [[EnemyMine it took Cosmos and the other GUA Leaders to beat him together]] the first time round and the Nothing also poses a similar threat which is why she asks her allies to survey the Gmork (the Nothing's Herald) to look out for potential dangerous moves.
* She's also grateful to Haruhi Suzumiya and Ugo for helping maintaining balance in the Pantheon and help sorting the ranks respectively. At least until Whis then came along, but Cosmos knows Haruhi ultimately wants to have fun even if it costs a bad day for everyone around her. Ugo was at first intimidated by Cosmos' [[HartmanHips noticeable physique]] which she initially found amusing but as time and time went on, he got used to it to the point that he's surprised that he managed to overlook his one fear and see Cosmos for the person she is.
* The two most powerful heroes ever, Superman and Son Goku are ecstatic to see a leader of good running the alliance and praises her virtue which she is flattered by. Once they hear her backstory, they gave her full support for her and decided to fight alongside her against future threats. This also extends to [[Pantheon/DragonBall the Dragon Team]], Goku's allies who noticed that she's more proactive than Shenron and while Shenron is a big help, Cosmos gives them help way more often instead. Other champions of good like the dragon Bahamut and the paladin Artix von Krieger also pledge to fight alongside Cosmos, with the former's bond with her strengthen during the Pantheonic Rebellion like what Aang also did and the latter asking her for approval to form the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights; she did and he's forever grateful for that, not to also mention that she praises his triumph of moving past his origin [[spoiler:of being the Champion of Darkness]].
* As she is involved in [[GroundhogDayLoop cycles of time loops]], Cosmos has given help to the Pantheonic Time Police and their endeavours even if she hasn't traveled through time yet. She has however praised Clank and the Doctor for their actions in preserving time, even if for the latter his companions mostly make the messes; the Doctor in turn often helps Cosmos on occasion should she needs his help. She has also been critical of the Dahaka for being relentless against enemies of time with extreme prejudice and Homura Akemi not for the loops but for taking away Madoka Kaname's powers, but she's more sympathetic towards the latter as she can understand wanting to save Madoka who is very dear to her heart.
* Oddly enough, Cosmos managed to strike up a friendship with Mr. Satan, who faked his powerful appearance for a good show but is nevertheless a good person. She does help keep up his facade to those who are not aware of his true nature which is a sentiment that Mr. Satan is very grateful for. Like everybody else, Cosmos deeply respects Mr. Fred Rogers as his boundless kindness and gentle nature has touched the hearts of many; Mr. Rogers is at first weirded out by her existence but later on welcomes her presence as she is only a powerful being dedicated to championing good morals and benevolence.
* Gandalf met with Cosmos to discuss his entry into the Grand United Alliance Of Good, and believes her a fine lady deserving of every ounce of respect she gets, even comparing her to the Lady of Lórien, Galadriel; they parted on good terms and maintain a close professional relationship in their war against Melkor. Madoka also managed to befriend Cosmos, who felt very bad for her after Homura took away her strongest powers; Madoka tells her that Homura should not be blamed any further, which she agrees and they both continue to discuss methods on how to get Homura to open up more about her honest feelings, not just to get Madoka her powers back but to prevent another Pantheon-wide event by her hands.
** The young Illyasviel and Asia Argento also befriended Cosmos and see her as a very reliable adult with Cosmos understanding her DarkandTroubledPast and holds a BigSisterInstinct towards her, similar to Issei and will go MamaBear if she gets hurt though not to the extent of Issei going berserk. After inviting little Illya for ice cream (who initially hesitated), Cosmos heard out Illya's story, shocked that there's little to none parental supervision in her world so she asks Illya to come to her whenever there's any big trouble ahead which Illya takes to heart though she herself is also concerned of Cosmos' safety as well.
* A lot of the neutral-leaning or insincere heroes distrust Cosmos, as she is easily seen as a "goody-two-shoes" who shouldn't be questioning their morality when she hadn't made any harder decisions during her time in the cycles herself, ignoring the fact that [[spoiler:sacrificing herself]] to defeat Lord Chaos is already a hard decision. Lelouch vi Britannia, while still maintaining a strictly professional relationship with Cosmos is of the opinion that she should have made more heart-breaking decisions and while she wants to agree, she can't because there are some lines she wouldn't cross too far. The HeroKiller Stain actually have high praises for Cosmos as he sees her as much of a virtuous paragon as All Might and wishes all other heroes who disagreed with her would follow her example; Cosmos can't agree with that, because even if she disagrees with the same neutral-leaning heroes she wouldn't go out of their way to change their mind by force and plus, Stain killed just to prove his point which earns bad points in her eyes.
** As Eren Yeager slowly makes harsher decisions to the point that [[spoiler:he's willing to turn against humanity in order to keep his loved ones safe]], Cosmos can only hope that he'll come to see that it can't be the only way. The AntiHero Spawn is very jaded towards Cosmos as he has sour memories towards his world's own God who was a bit of a jerk that only tried to help him way later and thinks Cosmos is the same as him; of course, that's not true and Cosmos sympathizes his state as he has no way to properly redeem his sins of slaughtering various people while serving a monstrous devil like Malebolgia.
* Cosmos may be nice enough to give most villains a chance, but not the Nyarlathotep from the world of order versus chaos and Professor Hojo. Nyarlathotep is the embodiment of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humanity's evil]] a seeks to drag humans down to their destruction to prove the point of his existence and Hojo came from Cloud and Tifa's world, causing so many problems that shape them and Sephiroth to this day. The bad guys themselves scoff at Cosmos' righteousness with Nyarlathotep even taunting her that it's pointless to fight for humans and their innate goodness since they will ultimately be selfish again and Hojo vows to revive Jenova yet again just so he can hope to even beat her and carry on with his experiments.
* The Daughter warns Cosmos the threats of Emperor Sheev Palpatine and the Siths, the former having a galaxy-wide agenda of ruling the entire galaxy under his tyrannical fist and the latter individuals having their own agendas to pose problems to innocents; Cosmos accepts these precautions as their potential imbalance to the Force might affect everyone else badly. Palpatine himself scoffs at the goddess but he's intrigued at the abundance amount of champions she rallied, and considered coaxing a few of them to turn evil just to rub it in her face. Darth Vader, and by extension the [=501st=] Legion of Stormtroopers are a little contentious with Cosmos; the Stormtroopers are more okay with working for her but Vader is in hot water for his previous actions both in the name of his loved ones and the Empire. Cosmos is willing to give him another chance but so far Anakin isn't really too interested in getting her approval as long as he keeps atoning for his past sins.
* As for more conflicting alliances, Cosmos is off-put by both Zen'os' childishness mixed with absolute power and she, Aslan and occasionally [[Pantheon/{{Tics}} Q]] are trying to teach them to use their power more responsibly. Even if once she heard that [[spoiler:Zen'o only wanted to teach mortals about the importance of agency]], Cosmos thinks it was still reckless regardless. For Dr. Manhattan, Cosmos hopes that he once again fight for good even if [[spoiler:he nearly extinguished the existences of the JLA and LSH]] as he had been a big help for the GUAG and the Superhero Division; so far, no luck and it seems less likely that he'll ever consider rejoining.
* Cosmos is taking the threat [[Pantheon/HolyAuthorityAndPower Perpetua]] poses ''very'' seriously and is holding discussions with the leaders of the [[Pantheon/GUAGSuperheroDivision GUAG Superhero Division]], the [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality Pantheonic Time Police]] and other advisors in the [[Pantheon/GUAGCommand GUAG Command]] such as [[Pantheon/PredecessorsAndMentors Ghaleon]] and [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Ro]][[Pantheon/MinionsAndSidekicks bin]] to formulate strategies and possible alliances to counter this threat. The Goddess of Harmony sees Perpetua as something like a horrific combination of [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]], [[Pantheon/DimensionalAreas Shinryu]] and [[Pantheon/MethodsOfKilling Kronika]], able to grow in power through [[ForeverWar constant conflict]] with the goal of twisting all of time and existence into a nightmarish parody serving her hideous goals alone. Cosmos knows that beings from the Dark Multiverse could be one possible solution to fight Perpetua, but considers this to be [[GodzillaThreshold a last resort]].
* About once a month, Cosmos arranges a modest tea party at her palace with several select deities she counts as friends. Regular guests at these parties include [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Asia Argento]], [[Pantheon/AdaptationalStyles Illyasviel von Einzbern (PRISMA ILLYA)]], [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka Kaname]], [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Rachel Alucard]], [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Belldandy]] and [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Amaterasu]]. For the Goddess of Harmony, the tea parties are casual affairs where the guests can relax, talk freely and hear the latest news within the Pantheon.
* Few realize that Cosmos is possibly the most influential deity in the Pantheon, which allows her control over roughly ''a third'' of the Pantheon itself. Here's why...
** She is the patron deity of ''every'' heroic deity from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, a highly diverse universe of knowledge, magic, power and technology.
** She is Eru Ilúvatar's chosen successor as leader of the GUAG. As a result of this connection, Cosmos is also an honorary member of the Valar, a very powerful CouncilOfAngels. This is actually one reason why Melkor has grown to hate Cosmos with a passion. As Melkor's diametric opposite, Cosmos also has the allegiance of the heroic deities of Tolkien's Legendarium.
** Amaterasu is one of her closest allies. Through her, many heroic deities from Japan (anime, manga, tokusatsu, etc.) have befriended Cosmos.
** Through Square Enix's partnership with Disney, Cosmos added heroic deities from Disney's franchises to her long list of allies, including Mickey Mouse, Luke Skywalker, Captain America and many, ''many'' others.
** Her allies control the Houses of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, Pantheon/CommunitiesAndSolitude, Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery, Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities, Pantheon/{{Royalty}} and Pantheon/{{School}}, giving Cosmos a great deal of quiet influence over the Pantheon as a whole.
** As the most trusted deity residing in the Main House, Cosmos is usually chosen to personally welcome new deities into the Pantheon, allowing her to give a good first impression to potential new allies.
** In the aftermath of the Pantheonic Rebellion, the GUAG has reorganized itself to become more focused and cohesive as an organization. Because of this and the fact that the GUAG has numerous members throughout the Pantheon, Cosmos currently leads a multiversal NGOSuperpower.
** She is the leader of the Pantheon's most trustworthy faction, which has received requests to guard or watch over persons and objects of interest in the Pantheon. Among such charges are [[Pantheon/PowerLevelsAndAppearance SCP-]][[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes 239]], an [[GooGooGodlike all-powerful child]], and the [[Pantheon/VehiclesDepot Super Dimensional Fortress One]]. Because of this, the GUAG has access to resources their many enemies can only ''dream'' of having.
** She is a MagneticHero with the entire GUAG as her CharacterMagneticTeam. Across countless universes, from superheroes to knights, from aliens to robots, from nations of the past to futuristic civilizations, Cosmos has gathered all of them under a single banner and most of them are ''very'' loyal to her cause and each other. Ironically, Cosmos may be in a better position to conquer the Pantheon than her enemies!

* Opposes: The Houses of Pantheon/{{Craft}} and Pantheon/{{Musicality}}
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Satan (Castlevania)]]
* Ambiguous Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Krona the Mad Guardian]]
* Once the greatest of the Ainur, Melkor was not content with following the sacred designs of his creator Eru Ilúvatar and instead sought to create his tunes of discord and darkness. This initial act of rebellion sparked the evil within him and afterward sought to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans remake Ilúvatar’s world in his unholy image]] then [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it all in the end]]. Branded as Morgoth, the First Dark Lord, the Great Enemy of Arda, and the GodOfEvil, he did whatever he could to take over all of creation. That is until he was captured and [[SealedEvilInACan thrown into the Void beyond Arda]] where he could no longer do any harm until his prophesized return in the second [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Dagor Dagorath]]. While Melkor's Evil lingers across all of Arda, his physical return would have been something to worry about much later — until his ascension that is. By the power vested in the Pantheon, Melkor was broken free of his prison and given a position for historical purposes. Free from the rules of Arda, Melkor finally realized that he could expand his plan to take over all of the existence beyond the realm of Arda but knew that he needed much more help upon seeing [[TheMultiverse the greater omniverse]] that even now eludes him. Gathering all the baddies who were willing to work with him, he formed the Grand United Alliance of Evil. As a response to that, the Grand United Alliance of Good was formed, so needless to say Melkor has his work cut out for him.
* Is not particularly happy that the Court of the Gods is ensuring that he does not return to Arda much earlier than he should, or invade other universes while he is here. Melkor plans to overthrow them eventually but while he’s an Overdeity, [[AlwaysABiggerFish many can outmatch or outnumber him when it comes to power]]. Knowing this, [[OrcusOnHisThrone he sits on his throne giving orders instead of being proactive]] all in the belief that an opportunity will come for him to enact his plans.
* Despises that his brother Manwë and even worse, Eru himself are in the Pantheon watching his every move. The merciful Manwë just wants Melkor to cease his villainous tyranny but is forced to act against him as one of the GUAG’s leaders. Eru while very disapproving of everything Melkor has done does not think DivineIntervention is a suitable punishment for his former Ainur and [[GodsHandsAreTied sits out of the entire conflict]]. Melkor does not want any of their mercy or pity, as all he wants is to destroy both of them once he desolates the creations that they love so dear.
* Loves being credited for influencing [[GreaterScopeVillain all intentionally-evil villains]] at least after the middle of the twentieth century and being the source of all evil itself. That is undeniably true in Arda through to the rest of the omniverse, that might be stretching it. It’s noted Melkor does understand ideas such as TheDarkSide more than most, which gives credit to his claim though it is still just a claim by all accounts. He means to use the armies of the GUAE to conquer as many realms as possible and bring all the misery [[RapePillageAndBurn he can through slavery, genocide, famine, mass rape, et cetera]]. As long as it is considered evil, Melkor will do everything in his power to make sure everyone feels the evil he spreads.
** Once faced a specific issue ''multiple'' times where the people of some realms his armies conquered [[HappinessInSlavery love all the evil he has done to them]], something both amusing and odd to Melkor. He decreed that they be put to work to help in later conquests but he could not get them to move since they did enjoy their suffering. So Melkor made the most logical move: [[CruelMercy create a utopia where all his minions are kind to them and all their needs are provided for with nothing bad ever happening]]. That got them moving to join his ranks pretty quickly. He hated doing that but seeing all their misery made him relish it in the end.
** While he purports himself as the origin of all evil in creation, he never considered the idea of evil beings before creation. Amatsu-Mikaboshi, The Lich, and Orgalorg are beings that lived in the PrimordialChaos before space-time began, so Melkor is unable to say anything about them. The only explanation he can provide is that [[ObliviouslyEvil these guys aren’t truly evil since they don’t see themselves as evil]] and this is just how most beings before creation acted. Somehow... that makes a lot more sense than it should.
* Proud of his name as Morgoth as it inspires fear and dread to those who hear it. [[EmbarrassingFirstName The name Melkor more or less reminds him of when he was an Ainur, which he utterly detests]]. For some odd reason Melkor’s birth name is regularly used even by his subordinates, [[ItAmusedMe likely because they know he dislikes reminders of his past and wants to mock him for it]]. He isn’t so bothered by it nowadays but forces anyone within earshot to address him as Morgoth. A foot to your everything is prepared whenever someone says Melkor near him.
* Almost everyone in the GUAE joined him [[EnemyMine out of necessity]] than actual loyalty to him. Even those who like how Melkor rolls are just there for their purposes. Melkor knew this when creating the Alliance, so he isn’t too surprised. However, that is not stopping him from stamping out traitors. All he asks for in the end is everyone’s cooperation when it comes to serving the overall cause. He is certain he’ll get his revenge one day once he wins by killing most of them and [[AssimilationPlot absorbing his loyalists as a reward]].
** Is aware that there are plenty in his ranks who are more deplorable than he’d like but keeps them around because they’re indispensable (hence why many of his even more treacherous and nicer members are under TeethClenchedTeamwork). He does not discriminate against anybody as long as they’re willing to commit horrendous acts towards others and can tolerate the {{Crapsack World}} the GUAE aims to build. Anybody who isn’t with him (or at least publicly with him) or doing anything that’s not evil can get out of his face.
* Sauron was once TheDragon to him long ago after Melkor had tempted him from being TheBlacksmith of the Maiar to his NumberTwo in conquest. However, after putting up with all the {{Idiot Ball}}s Melkor had, getting mocked for being beaten by a few {{Hobbits}} and seeing Melkor favor Voldemort over him for the leadership of the Pantheon/GUAEMalumMagia, Sauron had enough and joined under Darkseid, knowing he will be appreciated there. Sauron even publicly denounced Melkor, calling him a cowardly fool who he hopes will be returned to the Void to whence he belongs. [[BurningWithAnger Melkor’s rage upon hearing that was akin to millions of volcanoes erupting]], in utter disbelief that his best and most trusted general would betray him just like that after everything he had done for Sauron. Then again, [[TaughtByExperience Sauron did learn from the best when it comes to stuff like this]]. He swore Darkseid and Sauron would rue the day they dared to oppose him.
* Never met Cosmos until she was elected leader by the GUAG. If he did meet her before, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is [[MagneticHero able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds]] to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. Maybe the BadBoss reputation his entire Alliance has is what’s keeping potential recruits away.
* Formed the Four Horsemen as the guardians of the House of Villains along with three others he was especially impressed by who is willing to serve his cause. Griffith, who represents the [[FallenHero corruption of heroes]], Johan Liebert who can [[MoreThanMindControl break the will of others]], and Majin Buu for wanting to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy anyone and everything]]. Melkor gets along with Griffith and Johan well enough but he has spent fortunes on candy to keep Nekron from snagging Majin Buu from him, forcing them to share the pink powerhouse as their candy-buying spree worsens. The Ebon Dragon was once part of his Horsemen but when the Ebon Dragon was ejected from the Pantheon, Melkor replaced him and never looked back. Now that the Ebon Dragon has returned, he is pissed that he was forgotten and wants to get back at Melkor for it.
* Melkor’s influence and power directly correlate to how frequently evil is committed in one universe (hence being a Cardinal Alignment). If Melkor ended up in ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'', he’d become incredibly weak while if he ended up in a place like ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}'', he’d be akin to his prime. If Melkor were to end up in a place like the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos realm of the Elder Gods]] where [[BlueAndOrangeMorality evil and good aren’t present]] and just “is”, he’d be impotent since the idea of evil as a force does not exist there. In the Pantheon proper, he’s in the same state he was when the first Dagor Bragollach occurred, like the Pantheon’s idealistic nature is being slowly dimmed thanks to the ForeverWar escalating and the TheInternet and mass media itself becoming more cynical. Every second of the growing cynicism allows him to feed off the resulting negativity.
* An incident he does not like to be reminded of is almost getting EatenAlive by Ungoliant, which would have potentially ended him right here and then. His relationship with Ungoliant is unknown as Melkor has no influence on her in the slightest. While Ungoliant is evil in a traditional sense, it can be speculated that she was doing what all spiders do: feeding on her prey. Then again, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain killing Melkor off can hardly be called an evil action]].
* His claims to be the origin of evil conflict with Krona’s existence, in how the Mad Guardian tampered with the beginning of existence and created evil. This led to a theory that Krona triggered Melkor’s FaceHeelTurn, being the source of the music that triggered his StartOfDarkness. Krona is insulted by this; all he did was look at how everything came to be and if he did create Melkor, it was purely an accident. Melkor has provided no comment on the matter, likely out of {{Pride}}. Given the [[TimeyWimeyBall timey-wimey]] experiment Krona was doing, it might be a lot more accurate to say [[StableTimeLoop Melkor and Krona were behind each other]]. Whichever deity proposed this theory, many say they forgot that Melkor and Krona are of different multiverses and likely could not influence the rise of evil in each other's realms.
* May or may not have created Aku since the blob is MadeOfEvil. Aku would like to state that '''''[[LargeHam HE IS AKU]]''''' and the notion that he was created by someone is completely incomprehensible to him. Similarly, both the Idea of Evil and Nyarlathotep are evil incarnate but were birthed by the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters evils of man]] instead of being the source of it. Melkor has learned that if he wants to keep his allies close, he has to prey upon and appeal to their egos so they won’t make the effort to form splinter groups opposing him.
* His nature as an evil-composed being makes him vulnerable to [[GoodHurtsEvil good-based auras and attacks]], though because of his strength it requires a ''lot'' of it. This, combined with her ability [[HeelFaceBrainwashing to force compassion on others]], makes Iroque and the Indigo Light Melkor’s KryptoniteFactor. Having diffused so much of his being into evil, his physical body is weakened to the point he's a Greater God in her presence, an Intermediate God if she forces an Indigo Lantern ring on him (though his evil is too great to brainwash away) and a Demigod under the Avatar of Compassion, the Proselyte. Zordon is another problem here since the wave of good energy from his HeroicSacrifice destroyed/purified the smaller [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace United Alliance Of Evil]]. He does not want such a thing happening to his own GUA.
* One of his most infamous actions was the theft of the Silmarils, which were then in Arda the only source of everyday things like the [[MacGuffin sun and the moon]]. Nightmare Moon granted Melkor permission to take the moon and bring everlasting darkness... if he got the sun first. Melkor wants to slay Amaterasu and relive the moment that gives him so much joy, though considering Amaterasu’s strength, he questions if he’ll be able to succeed. [[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Melkor claims he wants to take the moon and the sun so that he’ll be able to take everything that seems like fun.]]
* He was able to deflect a Spirit Bomb from Son Goku in a NoodleIncident, due to being [[PureIsNotGood pure (evil)]]. His true concern over the Saiyans is if he and Vegeta [[FusionDance fuse into Gogeta]]; his signature technique of the Stardust Breaker disintegrates all evil, so Melkor would be dissolved into nothingness if that hit him.
* Many regard Melkor's backstory and portfolio as being remarkably similar to the well-known tale of Archangel Lucifer, better known as {{Satan}} or The Devil. It is believed by most that he ''is'' none other than [[SatanicArchetype the Devil himself]]. The Beast disagrees, stating that he is the true Devil and influenced Melkor. Lucifer (and many of his deified counterparts) thinks they're both full of shit.
* The Golden Spider has pissed off Melkor by claiming to be AboveGoodAndEvil. The Golden Spider reasons that he is a Creator of Life, much like Eru, who was the one who created Melkor, meaning that Melkor is below him. Understandably, this turned many heads, considering the Golden Spider called such a thing into question. [[SpidersAreScary Given his previous experience with Ungoliant, Melkor might have arachnophobia.]]
* Created the dragons of his world, so that tidbit comes in conflict with Io’s existence as the [[MonsterProgenitor progenitor of all of dragonkind]]. Io also disagrees with Melkor’s statement, stating that all of his children, even the ones Melkor made belong to him. It’s odd to see a custody battle over who can raise dragons come into play but Io is the winner since he could probably eat Melkor if he wanted to.
** Though J.R.R. Tolkien is a superior of sorts for Melkor, the Dark Enemy argues otherwise, as [[DiedDuringProduction he passed before]] his tale could be finished. Tolkien is still recognized as his superior by most, as he's still behind the tales of Middle-earth and the story was completed by his son but one day, [[RageAgainstTheAuthor he’ll crush his creator to prove that he is beyond any being and bows to no one]].
* Was '''GREATLY''' affected by how the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Great Upheaval]] went down and not in a good way. Not only was he upstaged by YHVH and Lucifer, but many of his subordinates defected to their sides and later formed their own Grand United Alliances, not to mention that the price of his Internet[[note]]Melkor learned how to use modern technology surprisingly fast[[/note]] had been raised. With his reputation as God of Evil under threat, Melkor was heard grumbling after hearing the news that "Law and Chaos are nothing compared to the merciless, annihilating power of True Evil, [[EvilerThanThou I shall teach them all that]]...''
** Swore to get back at the two for what they did to him. [[VillainousBreakdown Melkor's ranting earthquake-like voice, full of absolute malice and insanity, echoed and boomed across every House and Temple as he screamed forth a terrible vow]]: [[note]]"'''YHVH!!! LUCIFER!!! I SWEAR BEFORE THIS YEAR HAS ENDED, YOU WILL BOTH BE LYING DEAD AT MY FEET! BUT BEFORE THAT, I SHALL MAKE YOUR NAMES SYNONYMOUS WITH THE VERY WORD SUFFERING UNTIL YOU BEG ME TO END YOU! EVERYTHING YOU BUILT, I WILL TEAR DOWN! EVERYTHING PRECIOUS TO YOU, I WILL DESPOIL! I WILL TURN THE PANTHEON INTO SUCH AN ABYSS OF DEPRAVITY AND CARNAGE THAT ALL THE HELLS IN EXISTENCE WILL PALE IN COMPARISON BEFORE IT!!! YOU WILL RUE THE DAY THAT YOU EVER DARE TO INTERFERE IN MY AFFAIRS AND STEAL AWAY MY CREATIONS!!!'''"[[/note]]
** The Great Will yawned and responded: [[note]] "Foul beast of Ilúvatar. Do you not comprehend what you seek? Law and Chaos are as eternal as Good and Evil. It matters not that neither myself nor the fallen one is removed. The ideas that shape us both are woven in the hearts of ephemerals and immortals alike; others shall come, and through them, we shall be reborn, as long as the will of the universe calls upon us! Curse your blindness! Are your pride and arrogance so vast you would dare to believe you could stop a war so long, it cannot be measured in linear time, and so vast, gods have gone mad trying to grasp its scope? That we care about your petty grievances? Have you ever given thought to how many truly welcome you, in their minds and souls? How many would embrace the idea of evil as you do as their final goal? [[TheDevilIsALoser When the time comes, you will stand alone]]. Grovel and curse in silence, and let the grand war continue."[[/note]]
** Lucifer's response was ''considerably'' more succinct: [[note]][[DeadpanSnarker "Inside voices, children."]][[/note]]
* Hates, hates, '''HATES''' the Houses of Craft and Music for representing his downfall. As much as Melkor wants to create, his CreativeSterility prevents him from being the [[TheMaker Creator God]] he so desires to be. These Houses remind Melkor of these flaws and he wants to purge both so that only ''he'' can create. Melkor tried desecrating the House of Craft but ran into Destruction of the Endless before even starting, and ''[[CurbStompBattle got the tar beaten out of him]]'', [[VillainsWantMercy making the former Ainur beg for mercy]]. Destruction let him off with a warning that if he were to go after the House of Craft again or the House of Music too, he won’t hold back next time. Melkor has ceased all attempts to destroy any of these Houses until he has prepared sufficiently to counter Destruction.
* Is fearful of Superman for having [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis taken out Darkseid with music]]. He’s also completely terrified of Ghost Rider since his DeathGlare would destroy Melkor’s mind. Anyone who can likely kill him quickly is people the Great Enemy steers clear of, like the ever so [[MemeticBadass infamous Kirby]] and the [[OneHitKill one-punch killer]] himself Saitama.
* Nekron and Melkor are not so different in regards to wanting to end existence but remain enemies despite sharing many traits, as Melkor thinks that only he has the right to destroy reality while Nekron just wants to skip the whole dystopia Melkor wants and get straight to the apocalypse. This is also felt between the Anti-Monitor and Melkor in which the latter isn’t okay with being erased from existence to make way for nothingness.
* Detests the idea of being [[DracoInLeatherPants represented as a misunderstood figure]] shockingly enough as he thinks it undermines his status as the GodOfEvil as it was originally written, even though it gained him a legion of fans who think that he was wronged by Eru. While Melkor likes the idea of people thinking [[SatanIsGood Eru is a tyrant and his rebellion is a good thing]], the truth remains that after manifesting on Arda he attempted to bring an age of darkness over the world merely to spite his Maker.
* Named Dark Specter as his new second-in-command after Sauron’s defection, as Dark Specter has run a [[LegionOfDoom universe-spanning alliance]] before. Melkor sometimes even finds him more reliable than Sauron ever was and after the Demonic Legion was purged for not complying with new Pantheon rules, Dark Specter found a place by Melkor’s side. After all, Melkor managed to get him a godly title despite it being a rather embarrassing one.
* Thought Malekith and Archaon would be perfect for his Alliance but both refused viciously as the Four Chaos Gods serve under Melkor, and as everyone knows they have [[ItsPersonal some really bad beef]] with those four. Thanks to having them as part of his closest council, both {{Evil Overlord}}s are targeting the GUAE, dwindling even more of Melkor’s influence. Melkor asked why did his allies have to be [[GuiltByAssociationGag so hard to be associated with]].
* He was supposed to have a son, but that never came to be (that son was made into Gothmog, his Lord of the Balrogs). Interested in the idea of a successor, he went to where all things of WhatCouldHaveBeen go: Retconnia. He requested Malal to release his son but Malal refused, as Melkor is friends with the Chaos Gods who abandoned him there. Irked by his protests, Malal threatened to have Melkor dragged into Retconnia as well if he even thought of staging a prison break for someone Malal isn’t even sure is there. Melkor backed off but swore Malal would regret his rejection.
* ''“But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.”''

* Herald: Spirit of Adoration
* Allies: Honestly, it's easier to find deities who ''aren't'' allied with her. Special mention goes to '''[[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Cayden Calien]]''', '''[[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Erastil]]''', [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Steven Universe]], [[Pantheon/InfatuationAndObsession Flonne]]
* Rivals: '''[[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Aphrodite]]''', '''[[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Calistria]]'''
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship Felix (Red vs Blue)]], [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes Penelope Mouse]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Akasha the Queen of Pain]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Dr. Frank-n-Furter]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Ato-ko Shirogane]], [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives The Child Abuse Supporters]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction the GUAD]], [[Pantheon/{{Plants}} Flowey]], House of Pantheon/HatredAndRancor
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Asmodeus]]
* Pities: [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Vincent Brooks]]
* Just as Calistria filled the role as the Goddess of Lust, the House of Love felt that they needed an equivalent for the more innocent version of such love. Aphrodite long considered herself to be the leading candidate for the roll, but she proved to be too petty to give away her [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Worlds Most Beautiful Goddess]] title, and her other title just didn't agree with the nature of the title. It ultimately went to the fifth Golarian deity to enter the Pantheon. That did not sit well with the Greek Goddess and the two have been rivals ever since. It's a one-sided affair, as Sheyln would rather have them work together.
** While she doesn't mind the type of love formed between couples, she prefers relationships not fueled solely on lust. She's more than content to hand those responsibilities to Calistra, her long-time rival, and the rest of the subhouse of Lust.
** Cayden has noted how much of a sight for sore eyes she is to him. Sheyln accepts his constant flirting, though she reminds him he would have to settle down for any long-term relationship to form.
** Is more willing than any other Golarian deity to work with Asmodeus. Asshole aside, the archdevil does have a way of keeping things under wraps. She only hopes that she can convince him to be more generous with his contracts.
* Her most supported friend is by far Flonne, Goddess of {{Love Freak}}s. Together, they hope to spread the wonders of love throughout the Pantheon. Sheyln plays the role of [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder rolling back some of Flonne's more eccentric schemes]]. Nevertheless, she is thankful for her unconditional devotion to love.
* It's hard to find a deity that is more tolerated in the Pantheon. Even the GUAE tolerate her, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes as many have romances of their own]]. The only group that truly want her destroyed is the GUAD. They fear that her domain convinces many to have a will to live.
** If there is one group of adoration that she doesn't reciprocate, it's her non-ascended core god Rovagug. The Rough Beast's definition of affection would be to trap her within its eye as she becomes the witness to the end of all realities. To say she fears its possible arrival into the Pantheon would be an {{Understatement}}.
* As seen as the opposite of love, the House of Hatred oppose her on principle. The two factions battle over passionate followers to choose one over the other. Kefka gets special mention for specifically awaiting her destruction.
* Is seen as a bringer of hope to those who had to deal with AbusiveParents as her dedication to love extends more than just romantic love. This has put her at odds with The Child Abuse Supporters in the House of Family.
* Flowey sees her antics as a complete waste of time, goading her to see if she can get him to change his ways. Sheyln may be all-loving, but was not dumb enough to fall for that trap. She does hope that the Pantheon can find a way; [[spoiler: there is hope with his true form... if only it can be maintained longer.]]
* There have been many heated arguments between her and the Queen of Pain. Much of that comes from the fact that Sheyln's brother has all but embraced the demon's philosophy. The Eternal Rose hopes that she can break through and redeem him, but Akasha has sworn to carry on manipulating Zon-Kuthon and his followers.
* Gains the approval of virtually all in the House of Friendship. Her philosophy resonates especially well with Steven Universe. The LoveGoddess was impressed with Steven's determination to see the good in all.
** There are a few exception to this case. Felix has proven to be a horrible 'friend' to all he's met and is likely to continue. Penelope Mouse isn't liked either among Sheyln's followers.
* Can only shake her head over the utter insanity of Vincent's love life. She has taken up to the challenge, trying to help him mend his relationship with his girlfriend Katherine Mc-Bride.
* Has a rather unorthodox stance on cheating on one's partners. She isn't truly opposed to them, as long as said relationship is out of true love. She hopes that said partners would eventually make it official. That doesn't mean she would let you cheat on others just for the sake up it. Those actions tend to ruin love for everyone. It's with that reason that the likes of Ato-ko and Dr. Frank-n-Furter are among the least liked among her followers.
* When it comes to [[MarryThemAll harems]], she is nonchalant towards the concept as well, just as long as you have a loving relationship with all of them. She worries more about their consent than anything else.

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Koko Hekmatyar]], [[Pantheon/ClothingTheme Gabrielle]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} The Guy]], [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Ventari]]
* Was livid once he ascended. Not just for not being ascended with the WarGod trope, which his brother [[Videogame/GodOfWar Kratos]] has, but having such a low rank. The Court's reason for the low rank was because of his constant worfing from Kratos, Hercules, Wonder Woman, Hercules, Superman, [[RuleOfThree and Hercules]]. Ares was not pleased.
** However, he can have a greater rank during times of war. It's for this sole reason why he has joined Melkor and his GUAE for a chance of an all-out war between the other Alliances.
** After having his title change and moving to the House of War, Ares was given a rank increase.
* Ares also wasn't happy when he found out that he wasn't made replacement for The Triumvirate of War but instead Alexander the Great was given that honor. He also didn't like the fact that Kratos was part of it. He was, however, ok with Apocalypse being in. It might be the fact that his world view would lead to war.
* Despite his blood lust for battle, he does have a soft spot for his children and his mother Hera. In fact, he killed Poseidon's own son when he raped his daughter. Even '''''Kratos''''', who thoroughly despises him for being the source of all of his suffering, grudgingly admits that this is the one quality of his that he can respect.
** He, however, hates his father Zeus because he considers Ares his unfavorite compare to Athena and Hercules. He still would help him, but Ares wouldn't like it.
* When Ares met with Aphrodite again, he thought they would go back to their old routine. Unfortunately for him, Aphrodite rebuked his advances. Ares didn't take it very well and thought she had eyes for someone else in the pantheon. Or, her refusal line hits a sensitive spot for him: "[[DoubleEntendre The only thing endowed is your sword!]]", which caused Ares to retort with, "What!? What's wrong with [[GagPenis my]] [[TeenyWeenie 'sword']] anyway these days!?"
* Funnily enough, despite being the father of the Amazon race, he has clashed on multiple occasion with Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazons. In fact, one of Ares' daughter is Hippolyta herself who is Diana's mother.
* When questioning about Ares and whether or not he was the God of Ponies, the Equestrian Deities could only stare in confusion.
* Since his power is directly link to war and conflict, Ares has been known to pose as a War merchant back in the mortal realm and has sold weapons to both sides of a battling country. This makes him allies with both Torchwick and Sundowner, fellow war merchants. This also made him enemy with Tony Stark who was a former weapons dealer.
* Once had a big laugh when he heard of Koko's plan of [[spoiler:ending war by disabling fighter planes. He remarks that war has been fought long before planes ever existed and humans will always find a way to fight one another]]. Because that's [[HumansAreBastards human instincts]].
* So far, the only other deity to truly worship Ares is the Spartan King, Leonidas. Ares likes him enough that he declares that Leonidas' house is his favorite (next to his own house), and he could afford being less Jerkass when being around him and his people.
* Has re-enacted his rivalry with his younger brother, Hercules. The two have a battle against each other most days. So far, Ares has lost in every match they fought.
** The same rivalry for Athena on who is the better War God was also renewed. He also made enemies with her Saints.
* Because he is the True God of War, Ares has a large arsenal of weapons from swords, maces, bows, axes and spears and can summon them [[HammerSpace out of nowhere]].
* Has lent his support to Millenium's effort to create one of the greatest war ever. Ares says they really need it since their last attempt at a war was disappointing and it was nothing more than an ok terrorist attack.
* Ares once did battle with both Kouta and Kaito. The Riders remark how much he reminds them of the Inves Overlord Demushu.
** This also made Ares acquainted with Kogane who was one of the causes of the Overlords extinction by causing them more blood thirsting. Ares was really impress with that.
* Is opposed by Archer since he is a [[spoiler:Counter-Guardian whose job is to stop conflict that that threaten history]]. The two have clashed on multiple occasions.
* Heard about the endless war between [[VideoGame/DOTA2 two Ancients]] that his father is a part of. He is trying to find a way to enter into that world, not only to increase his power but to make sure it continues to be endless. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3450S8MfemE Rumors has it that he has succeeded]].
* He's NOT pleased when they heard someone who looked like [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]] [[{{VideoGame/MUGEN}} took up his name and copied Jin while using lightning]]. Ares just took offense that this copycat ''dares'' take up his name, especially when he didn't bother to exude the qualities of a bloodthirsty WarGod like him even on looks. He's still not friends with Jin and being the guy he is, probably won't ever be.
* Had a duel with Flynn at one point; it ended with the Samurai the victor and Ares [[WorthyOpponent thoroughly impressed]].
* He made contact with [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Pantheon]] and drafted him for a personal war project that was said to be 'to fight against unknown threats to the Pantheon', giving him greater boons of power and also making him a bit more distant with his former friends. But for his deal and after learning not to make silly deals since the incident with Kratos, Ares personally had it that a new baking room is added to Pantheon's house so he can literally pursue his dream as a baker. Of course, Ares still managed to get one last message in that room: "P.S: Bake your enemies!"
* Is currently in the process of turning Xena into a weapon of war once more. It's a position Xena has fought against for years and she has no intention of going back to her evil ways. Still, Ares is one of the few Greek deities she is in good favor with, and the two do sometimes team up. Still, Gabrielle is usually not far behind to give her support. That has put her in his crosshair as he plots to remove her from the Pantheon.
* He actually has two personas, his Greek persona Ares and his Roman persona Mars. The two of them, despite both being War Gods, are ''drastically'' different in terms of personality. As Mars, he is much more mature, dignified, and does not believe in endless and meaningless bloodshed. As a result, he is a much more respectable figure who actually averts the trope for which he has been deified, and is disgusted by many of the bloodthirsty and savage allies that he supports as Ares. Unfortunately, the malevolent Ares persona is the predominant one in the Pantheon.
* Has it in for [[Pantheon/VillainousCounterparts Batman the Merciless]] for doing the exact same thing Kratos did.
* Has nothing but hatred towards Altera who not only defeated him and the other Olympian Gods in one universe, but also taking his sword as a prize. He also hates that she is able to trick him into using his power everytime she uses her "Teardrop Photon Ray".
* Has found himself amused at the Rated-R Superstar, enough that he's asked Edge to be [[Series/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians2023 a vessel for his power]].
* ''"No mercy!"''

* Pities: [[Pantheon/TragedyAndDespair The Groke]] (Demeter), [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Grimm]] (Persephone)
* Wary of: [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Shub-Niggurath]] (both of them)
* Within Myth/ClassicalMythology there are two major deities associated with fertility, and they are mother and daughter; Demeter and Persephone. One of Cronus' children, Demeter is a goddess of agriculture and the harvest. Her daughter Persephone is the goddess of the spring, and vegetation, however she also has double duty as the goddess of the underworld and Hades' queen. This contradictory nature is maintained by her being with her mother in spring and summer, and with Hades during fall and winter. These weather patterns are [[FisherKing based on Demeter's mood]]; she does her job when her beloved daughter is with her, but when they're apart she is upset and doesn't do her job. "De-meter" means "Earth Mother", for those wondering.
* Applies to both
** Originally Persephone had ascended on her own, seeking to reunite with her beloved husband and [[DefiedTrope not]] [[HappilyMarried actually]] CreepyUncle Hades. Despite having first met her through abducting her, and her falling under the AbductionIsLove trope, by all accounts Hades is a loyal and loving husband [[FairForItsDay which is more than can be said for many of his relatives]]. Having had enough over millennia of not seeing her every winter, Demeter threatened to send the Trope Pantheon into EndlessWinter if she was not allowed to share pantheonic godhood with her daughter. Her wish was granted after it was found mother and daughter fell under the FertilityGod role, to both Persephone's pleasure [[MyBelovedSmother and frustration]].
*** Later on it was concluded [[AlwaysABiggerFish there were gods more than capable of shutting Demeter up]], and the pantheon court reacted rashly. However despite the conflict beween Hades and Demeter, he concluded Persephone was happier in the pantheon [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and that was worth her mother's nagging]].
** Being from [[BigScrewedUpFamily the Olympian dynasty]] left the two in a mess of complicated family dynamics and views on their blood. And they weren't surprised to learn [[CrossoverCosmology other literal gods]] often dealt with their share of dysfunctions. Mother and daughter are in agreement that Cronus can go back to [[Pantheon/{{Wardening}} Tartarus]] [[EatsBabies for obvious reasons]], [[KillTheGod Kratos]] should be nailed down there with him. On the exact opposite end, Hestia proves the one goddess who can get the two and Hades in the same room without bickering.
*** Demeter and Zeus have been lovers in the past, given he is Persephone's father, and while she sometimes eyerolls at his JerkassGods ventures [[AmicableExes they're on good terms]]. However she really doesn't get along with her other brother Poseidon. She may dislike Hades for his relationship with her daughter, but she ''hates'' Poseidon for forcing himself on her while she mourned her daughter not being around[[note]]that said, in some myths [[AdaptationalConsent they have had more consensual relationships]][[/note]]. She has a hard time believing [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians he's changed]] and remains frosty at best with him. As for Persephone and Zeus, she's usually a DaddysGirl or at least neutral to him, but in the Orphic tradition Zeus [[BedTrick posed as Hades to sleep with her]]. Needless to say Persephone is '''outraged''' and if Zeus ever tries that again she's sworn [[GroinAttack to repeat what happened to his grandfather]]. Zeus has attempted to justify the whole incident by explaining Orphic tradition saw him and Hades as the same god [[DeityIdentityConfusion so they may have conflated his and Hades' actions with one another]].
*** Said Orphic tradition has the obscure deities Zagreus and Melinoe come to be. Seeing as how the Trope Pantheon's Zagreus is Hades' son, [[ParentalIncest Zeus' "actions"]] aren't canon to the pantheon, [[DiscontinuityNod but it still makes Persephone shudder]]. Persephone and her son Zagreus' relationship is strained to an extent, and not getting into too much of a tangent he spent some time believing [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Nyx]] was his biological mother. One of Nyx's children, Thanatos, is naturally allied with Persephone because of his role as an embodiment of death and her role as Queen of the Underworld.
*** According to Orphic tradition Demeter wanted Apollo to be with Persephone instead. While [[DependingOnTheWriter he is usually]] a good catch, Persephone [[Webcomic/LoreOlympus has recently come to have]]...[[{{Understatement}} mixed feelings]] on Apollo. Why is that? [[spoiler:Because in one timeline, ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil he raped her]]'', and this was a timeline [[AdaptationalNiceGuy where most gods actually valued consent]].]] Most of the collective [[CompositeCharacter that makes up Apollo]] has apologized profusely for this, especially the [[Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo Camp Half-Blood incarnation]], [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten she refuses to let him forget it]]. The "Lore Olympus" timeline has led Hera [[AdaptationalNiceGirl to be more empathetic to Persephone]]. Interestingly Hera doesn't have it out for Demeter [[WomanScorned despite her reputation]], though mainly because she wasn't married to Zeus at the time.
*** Outside their pantheon, Persephone ended up bonding with Ostara after she overhead the Greek goddess bemoaning [[EverybodyHatesHades her husband's reputation]]. Having [[HijackedByJesus be misinterpreted by Christianity]] and also being a spring goddess, they made good friends. Demeter agrees with her daughter that YHVH should be frozen solid for His oppression to other gods, but neither of them have any hard feelings to other incarnations of {{God}}. [[{{Satan}} As for his opposite]], the Satan from South Park has an OddFriendship with the two as he sympathizes with Demeter's desire to see her daughter in the Underworld and respects Persephone's handling of divine responsibility.
*** Worth noting [[VideoGame/{{Hades}} that]] [[Webcomic/LoreOlympus sometimes]] [[UnrelatedInTheAdaptation Zeus isn't Demeter's brother and Persephone's dad]]. People snarked that Hades approved so people stop labeling him as a CreepyUncle. It's also possible that in early myths they may have a deeper connection to Poseidon. Looking over their early myths, Demeter found she has some things in common with Hathor; they're both fertility deities, but she's a lot more extroverted ([[HardDrinkingPartyGirl and fun]]). [[ObnoxiousInLaws Well, those were Hades' words]]. Demeter and Persephone enjoy girls' night out with her, but they really aren't comfortable with [[SplitPersonality her Sekhment side]]. While Demeter is a grim goddess when Persephone is separated from her, [[EveryoneHasStandards Sekhment is]] [[AxCrazy batshit]] [[BloodKnight crazy]].
** For those asking, never mention the Kid Icarus Hades around either of them. Demeter has an ax to grind with her son-in-law but even at his most dickish he's a saint [[CompleteMonster compared to THAT Hades]]. Persephone is disgusted someone so terrible is going around with her husband's identity. Mother and daughter wholeheartedly support Palutena and Kid Icarus's efforts to take him down. It is worth noting that there was one time where Persephone and Hades fell out, [[VideoGame/GodOfWarChainsOfOlympus and it was pretty big]]: she was so disillusioned by everything she became an OmnicidalManiac and tried to get Atlas to help her. While she hates Kratos for the rest of his actions against her family, now that she's calmed down she doesn't blame him for killing her.
** Naturally neither of them like the GUAD; wiping everything out is antithetical to a FertilityGod and a best case scenario for a Nekron victory is no-one left to enter the Underworld. When it was pointed out Persephone had a GUAD moment, she replied "[[OldShame yeah, and it's even more reason to hate them]]", and she really doesn't want to be reminded of the incident. Next to Nekron, the Lich is probably their second biggest foe from the GUAD, especially due to recent events where he tried to destroy the cycle of reincarnation; the Lich wants to kill Demeter in order to bring about an EndlessWinter to make wiping out all life on Earth easier. His rebooted self Sweet P had a far more innocent interest in the [[FertilityGod fertility goddesses]] as he wants help at keeping his evil past/Farmworld incarnation at bay.
** Her mother doesn't have as big of a shame she wants to her repress, but "absently eating the shoulder of a meal [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies that was actually the host's]] [[OffingTheOffspring son or grandson]]" is certainly shameful. In case you're wondering they revived the kid but he needed a prosthesis shoulder, [[DraggedOffToHell and off to Tartarus his dad went]]. So she stays away from the Hall of Flesh Eaters because of bad memories. As for the rest of the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} Demeter and Persephone aren't just fine with it, they're supporters; as [[FertilityGod fertility goddesses]], they have an important role in the development of the house's crops. They're allies with Princess Sakuna due to her being a harvest deity.
** Due to their role as fertility deities Demeter and Persephone are protectors of the House of Pantheon/{{Plants}}, at least when it's not fall or winter given the latter's dynamic with Hades. Persephone is particularly fond of the Spring Sprite, what with being the goddess of spring and all. Both hold an amicable relationship with Shishigami, the Great Forest Spirit, though Demeter still likes the Spring Sprite almost as much as her daughter. Despite her ecoterrorism both tend to be fine to an extent with Poison Ivy, just as long as she behaves in their presence. And as a winter spirit, the two are in contact with Jack Frost. He later introduced mother and daughter to the Guardians of the Holidays, and as the holidays they represent have seasons play a big part in it they keep in contact with the deities.
** The two tend to keep their distance from the Hall of Pantheon/TaintedLove since it's a downer compared to Persephone being HappilyMarried. They don't have much respect for Hans being an opportunistic little schemer looking for marriage; much as Demeter hates it and the controversial way it happened, Hades is a good husband. Demeter and Persephone are more divided on the Halls [[Pantheon/LustfulActs of]] [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Lust]]-the latter and Hades sometimes blush going there for advice at spicing up the bedroom, while the former thinks they're being prudish and believes [[DoYouWantToCopulate sex and love have nothing to do with each other]]. It's why she doesn't think she was insulting Hera when she was sleeping with Zeus. Since they aren't doing so now Hera isn't mad at her persay, but she is still annoyed.
** Demeter and Hades only get along rarely, and one of those rare occasions is opposing Kronika. Her being [[OurTitansAreDifferent a Titan]] is bad enough, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist but in spite of what she says]] Kronika is a temporal tyrant at least as bad as their hatred father Cronus. Kronika's daughter Cetrion, due to being a nature and plant goddess, [[AffablyEvil likes Demeter and Persephone to a degree]] but she wants to supplant them as a nature goddess [[DaddysGirl and loyalty to her mother]]. Persephone actually pities her on some level as her mother is far more smothering [[AbusiveParents and emotionally abusive]] to her, [[AntiVillain and if it weren't for her influence Cetrion]] [[HeelFaceTurn could've become her friend]]. Demeter worries about these thoughts since she's afraid her daughter is projecting some criticism of her. For her flaws Demeter truly loves her daughter and she fears [[ShadowArchetype she could become like Kronika]] under the wrong situation.
** Don't ask them how [[JustSoStory their origin story for seasons]] is supposed to work with the existence of the southern hemisphere. She'll just point to Gaea to be bothered by those questions instead. Since Demeter has a similar if smaller role to Gaea, they sometimes talk with each other. Also, a fun fact is that Demeter [[UsefulNotes/DwarfPlanets has a dwarf planet]] named after her Roman name, Ceres. You can find it in the asteroid belt. Originally it was an asteroid, but upgraded around the same time [[Pantheon/AstronomicalBodies Pluto, Hades' Roman namesake]] was demoted from a full planet. [[ObnoxiousInLaws Naturally she's super-smug about it whenever Hades is in earshot]].
** [[BerserkButton Do not bring up how Nurgle is]] a [[FertilityGod fertility deity]] in earshot of Demeter and Persephone. While technically true, [[{{Plaguemaster}} it's only in the worst way possible]] and even Olympians start vomiting after spending more than 5 minutes with the Great Unclean One. [[AffablyEvil Nurgle finds this a shame]] and [[ShipperOnDeck he thinks Persephone and Hades are adorable together]]. Demeter will begrudgingly admit that Shub-Niggurath is a fertility deity, but is honestly kind of scared by [[EldritchAbomination them]]. Feel free to mention Te Fiti's similarities to her and her daughter though, as they tend to be chill with one another [[spoiler:as long as the latter's heart is intact]]. The two also like Chaac and the HappyRain he brings. Persephone respects his sense of responsibility and [[spoiler:desire to atone for sleeping with his brother's wife]].
* Applies to Demeter
** As mentioned, fall and later winter is caused by Demeter not wanting to do her job while her daughter is with Hades. Zamasu, [[{{Hypocrite}} of all people]], called her out for a dereliction of duty. [[HatedByAll Like pretty much everyone]] Demeter didn't want to hear it, [[FateWorseThanDeath cursing him with eternal hunger]] and yelling at him for being everything a Kaioshin '''shouldn't be'''. It's worth noting that though she's a temperamental [[FisherKing Fisher Queen]] she doesn't want to cause a true EndlessWinter like Jadis or the Night's King. She's not an OmnicidalManiac like the latter, and she isn't in it because DespotismJustifiesTheMeans like the former. And given how the world has become used to her "seasonal mood-swings", her keeping up her seasonal schedule is probably for the best.
** As a fertility and nature goddess, Demeter doesn't mind people eating meat and hunting animals, and agrees with Speckles that PredationIsNatural. [[NatureIsNotNice However she also doesn't mind, for example, hunters being chased and eaten by wolves]]. She doesn't play favorites in the House of Beasts and Fauna, though she did feel [[Pantheon/AnimalBehavior the Zoosters]] were a tiny bit naive. With the humans there liking for Steve Irwin due to his involvement with a variety of animals, even when many are considered dangerous. Given her view on interaction with animals and hunting, she and Hircine occasionally like to converse with one another, though if he wants an expert on hunting he should call Artemis.
** For the love of Zeus, ''do not anger her''. Even he was powerless to convince her to stop rampage in searching for Persephone until she got to see her again, almost freezing Greece. She's an undeniable MamaBear, though some have accused her [[MyBelovedSmother of being too much of one]]. However she's a caring mother and abusive mothers like Lady Tremaine and ''especially'' Ragyo Kiryuin can expect her to get along with Hades for the sole purpose of devising a special torment in Tartarus for them. Also, while she doesn't go out of her way to torment "Uncle Charlie" she is prone to causing him problems for being a CreepyUncle, [[RevengeByProxy if only to vent about Hades and Persephone's relationship]]. [[TheSociopath Given what he's like]], [[AssholeVictim he kind of deserves it]]. Her wrath isn't just for those that directly piss her off, but [[GaiasVengeance those who would ruin nature]]. Mr Burns and Hexxus are deplorable polluters, so they have to go. Battra naturally gravitated to her.
** Demeter really likes Chi-Chi's attitude and her dedication as a mother. Of course, any good and loving mother is usually a positive for her. Kitty Forman and Sophitia Alexandra are friends of hers for similar reasons, just as long as the former doesn't cook pomegranates. She's protective to Selma as due to Persephone's absence in fall/winter, she sympathizes with her struggles as a mother. On fathers, she and Highfather have recently formed a friendship with one another [[ASharedSuffering due to similar past tragedy]]. As her daughter was kidnapped ([[AdaptationalConsent or secretly eloped in later tales]]), she feels really bad for an over-all responsible deity having to give up their child to his ArchEnemy for an EnforcedColdWar...one that was temporary as Darkseid was biding his time until he could win without a PyrrhicVictory ([[ComicBook/FinalCrisis and that still happened]]). Out of sympathy, she will help out Highfather's biological and adoptive sons.
** Hades and Demeter are able to get along in their hatred of Darkseid, [[EveryoneHasStandards since even for a god]] [[GodOfEvil his actions are appalling]]. And Hades is many things, but he certainly isn't abusive like [[AbusiveParents Darkseid]]. [[UnknownRival This contempt is mostly one-sided]] as the Lord of Apokolips merely seems them like almost every god; in the way [[MultiversalConqueror of his conquest of everything]]. Something the former didn't get at first is how Demeter feels sorry for the Groke despite being [[WalkingWasteland a destructive force]], which led to her snaring at the god of the underworld. Demeter causes winter out of sadness for her daughter being away from her, and the Groke is a cryokinetic who's own icy nature denies her warmth and companionship. Given how their powers work, Demeter is only able to offer the Groke a couch to sit on in already cold winter.
** YHVH and Zeus' previously established dynamic with Demeter has been thrown into question with some recent events. Despite normally opposing the oppressive YHVH, her issues with Zeus [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney led her to side with Him]]...or more specifically His female aspect/equivalent Shekhinah. Initially she dimissed this sudden turn as the consequence [[CrossoverCosmology of so many mythologies sharing a reality]], however it might've been [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder because of recent drama in the Nasuverse]]. A version of Zeus turned (more) megalomaniacal and when Demeter wanted to protect humanity he brainwashed her and forced her into OffingTheOffspring. [[SanitySlippage She didn't take this well]]. Fortunately most incarnations of Zeus aren't ''that'' tyrannical.
* Applies to Persephone
** Persephone is just as feared as Hades, but while he is often seen with contempt to the point [[EverybodyHatesHades of being vilified]] she is regarded as a just ruler. When derided for letting Alcestis goes from the Underworld, Persephone retorted that whoever she deems worthy to return to the land of the living is none of their business. However while she can be merciful, she isn't much softer than her husband and agrees with Dhuum [[DeathIsCheap cheating death]] is bad. [[EveryoneHasStandards However she isn't against the pantheon's rules regarding death like him]], since they're actual established rules...but don't expect them to hold up in ''her'' underworld. [[VideoGame/{{Skylanders}} More recently she's been using her time away from Hades]] to incarnate as a fairy that acts as a [[SkillScoresAndPerks skill tree]] for the Skylanders.
** She gets along with a number of death gods or death embodiments besides her husband and Thanatos, as between her and Hades Persephone fits the PerkyGoth role more often. Death of the Endless is an obvious friend, as they're both [[PerkyGoth perky goths]]. Another friend of hers is Ereshkigal, another goddess of the underworld. Something important to remember about Persephone is that while [[BewareTheNiceOnes you never want to provoke her wrath]], she's a compassionate and fair goddess to dead souls unless [[PayEvilUntoEvil they really messed up]]. It's why she's disgusted by Ah Puch due to his torture and abuse of the dead. And don't even get her started on AM, [[FateWorseThanDeath who tries to deny people entrance to Hades]] [[AndIMustScream to inflict his own Tartarus on him]]...all for the crimes of the people that built him [[CreativeSterility the way]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood he is]].
** Feels kind of bad for Grimm as he's a death entity [[DeathIsALoser who was hoodwinked and humiliated by two kids]]. That said, he got himself in that position due to his hubris so he's not exactly innocent. Her concern for him mainly relates to the time [[ManipulativeBastard Sisyphus scammed Thanatos into being stuck in a box]] [[DeathTakesAHoliday and screwing over the natural order]]...along with other criminal activities, which led to him moving a boulder up a hill in Tartarus forever. As an act of consolidation she's promised Grimm she'll work out a deal that if he can ever find a loophole to get out of being [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Billy]] and [[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes Mandy's]] "friend" she'll have a special IronicHell set up in Tartarus for them. When Grimm pointed out [[HorrifyingTheHorror he's not the only chthonic being Mandy has frightened into some compliance]], Persephone smirked and said "[[BadassBoast you think I don't know how to frighten her?]]"
** Though Hades adores her almost to the point of SingleTargetSexuality, [[NotSoAboveItAll he does have children outside his marriage]]; she still has an awkward relationship with her step-son Nico[[note]]one time she turned him into a dandelion[[/note]], and her step-daughter Hazel. In Hades' defense [[AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder these trysts were while she was away from him]], so he's not some shameless adulterer like his brothers. Still [[BerserkButton never try to seduce her husband while she's the queen]]; she turned Minthe into a plant because of it. Aphrodite will always give some scathing remark when Persephone does this because she despises him for not letting her lover Adonis leave the afterlife, and turning him into an anemone. Persephone herself did have feelings for Adonis, but Zeus stepped in before things went too far[[note]]not because he cared about faithfulness, just because he wanted the two to stop fighting[[/note]].
** As she has one of the strongest marriages of her family, she is well-respected in the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection and in turn respects loving married couples. When out of the underworld, she tends to go by Kore. Doesn't stop people from calling her Persephone though, which she's come to accept because it's familiar. She's naturally quite fond of Rhaegar and Lyanna, as their "[[AbductionIsLove elopement]]" is very similar to how she and Hades came together. Now that she's OlderAndWiser, however, she isn't going to be above criticizing them for the backlash that caused. [[HypocrisyNod Again, she knows what she's saying]], but as her story ended well she wouldn't change it. She and Hades have a mutual respect with the GodCouple of La Muerte and Xibala, who are fellow chthonic deities.
** Like her husband Persephone is royalty, as she is the Queen of the underworld. Being more reasonable[[note]]read: less prone to [[EverybodyHatesHades villification]][[/note]] than her husband she naturally gets along with the good and competent members of the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} like Aragon, however can't just send them to the Elysian Fields after they die because she likes them....except Princess Bubblegum, because [[Pantheon/FearsomeArchetypes Peppermint Butler]] was already pals with Hades and convinced him to do it. On the flip side she's not just going to send royals to Tartarus because she hates them; she needs to judge with Hades if their sins are truly damnable. Emperor Mateus is somewhat of an outlier as ignoring [[CompleteMonster he's done plenty to deserve Tartarus]], he needs to be watched over [[HellHasNewManagement so he doesn't try to take over the place]].
** Persephone knows how her mother can be an [[ObnoxiousInLaws obnoxious in-law]] to her husband, which is why she doesn't care for Carter Pewterschmidt [[JerkassHasAPoint despite making a good argument against Peter]]. However as he's pretty much irrelevant in the grand scheme of things she finds him an annoyance. She's more frustrated by Voldemort, as [[EvilCannotComprehendGood his complete inability to understand love]] combined with his desperate MortalityPhobia leads him to be a walking insult against her overall job when with Hades. Given [[ImmortalityImmorality the lengths of which he's gone to in order to survive]] she asked Hades what punishment in Tartarus they should give him, only for him to decline by saying "my dear, [[spoiler:I can't think of anything [[AndIMustScream worse than what already awaits him]] ]]. Let's not bother ourselves with that wretched soul".

* Loathes Deadpool so much... in fact, wants to kick his butt once and for all.
* He [[BerserkButton REALLY]] doesn't like it when people bring up [[OldShame that one time when]] he gave birth to a horse after transforming into a mare. Same goes for that time he became pregnant with the first trolls after eating a heart. And that time he tied a rope to a goat and his... well... [[GroinAttack you know]].
* He has learned not to insult [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] ''no matter the situation''. [[Film/TheAvengers2012 That time]] [[ShutUpHannibal he got interrupted mid-sentence with a]] MetronomicManMashing [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and being called "Puny God"]] still bears him a big embarrassment.
* He also occasionally [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} took the form of a frail-looking old man with two knives with a knack of going invisible and backstabbing people]]. Not exactly as powerful as his other form, but Loki enjoys catching people by surprise with this.
** But, perhaps after listening to his followers, Loki decided to ditch the frail-old-man facade and go back to his more regal, [[http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/smite.gamepedia.com/e/e3/T_Loki_Default_Card.png traditionally Nordic]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWXQtRxsKvs appearance]] to show the other gods he means business.
* At one point, he [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne started drinking heavily]], to the point that he sold a key he was supposed to guard just to get more booze money. Understandably, he would prefer to not bring that up anytime soon. He does[[spoiler:n't]] take pride for being [[Literature/DigitalDevilStory the original]] BigBad of the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' franchise, though.
** And eventually, for shit and giggles, he tricked [[spoiler:Robin Hood]] to step aside and became the secret, hidden Persona of [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Persona 5}} Goro Akechi]]]]. Whether it's because [[spoiler:Loki feels like taking a piece of Masayoshi Shido or purely for lulz]], we will never know.
* There was also one time when he was punished to [[Manga/MythicalDetectiveLokiRagnarok take the form of a young boy]] and took a role of a detective to gather the evil in men's hearts. He might not want to talk about this for various reasons.
** He also doesn't like to talk about a time when he was [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon portrayed as a woman]]. Maybe not because of the woman part, [[GenderBender he is no better on normal basics]], but because she is maybe too nice normally to his liking.
** Also, don't remind him the time when he had his [[PhysicalGod godlike form]] in [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD an alternate universe]] get squashed to an omelet by an ultra-enlarged Mjolnir wielded by Issei Hyodo. Maybe it's because he can't withstand losing against a mere devil who is also a huge pervert. It has gotten to the point that, purely for payback, Loki has taken interest into brainwashing Issei's girlfriend, [[Pantheon/BodyImages Rias Gremory]]. [[spoiler:And that ended up being foiled by her and Issei's future kid]].
* He is sometimes [[Series/{{Supernatural}} confused for]] ArchangelGabriel. He has no idea why, though.
* Claims he is not a member of the Pantheon/CouncilOfShadows. No one believes him.
* Has taken to calling himself the "God of Stories", which Dream of the Endless finds amusing at best, though admits he prefers him to some of the other attempts to replace him.
* Despite Thor being his archfoe, deep down, he still loves and cares about his adoptive brother. However, Loki's somewhat messed-up state keeps him from being able to fully show it in between that and his trickery. However, hurting Thor is a reliable way to get on the trickster god's bad side.
* Dead set on not forgiving Thanos for that one time [[spoiler:[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar he strangled him to death]]]].
* Apparently was the figure known as D.B. Cooper, who escaped out of a plane with a briefcase of money and was never located. When pressed over the truth, Loki mutters something about losing a bet to Thor.

* '''VERY''' wary of: [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]]
* By extension, Thor is Fate's senpai and is very much respected by her (and her followers too). Thor honors Fate's prowess and dedication, and thus condemns Precia Testarossa for her abuses to Fate...
** At least until her HeroicSacrifice to protect Fate against Ghetsis. After swearing to redirect the condemnation to Ghetsis, in the arranged burial ceremony for Precia, Thor personally made a speech which contains his personal hopes that she finds peace in the 'afterlife of Pantheon'
** The GUAL targeting Fate's friends [[spoiler: provoked Thor to join the Pantheonic Rebellion in the Defense front]].
* Formerly the position was prepared for [[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden]], but Thor got the position after at one point Raiden executes what is equal to saying this to his to-be followers: [[NeutralFemale "Don't worry. I'll bravely watch you DIE from the sidelines!"]]
** He later agreed to face Raiden in [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Mortal Kombat]] to see if he was really worthy of his position. While Raiden put up a decent fight, a blow from Thor's hammer obliterated the entire lower half of his body. Whatever was left of Raiden was hurled into the sun.
** Though once he learned [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 one genuine problem Raiden has been suffering lately]], Thor felt pity for him, so he brought what was left of Raiden to the House of Life and Death to revive him and sent him to The Fallen afterwards to await redemption.
** [[spoiler:Is pleased that Raiden is on the path of redemption upon learning that [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX he has done much better than he had previously]] and that he wasn't ''entirely'' responsible for what happened in his world. But then, learning that he transformed into Dark Raiden means that Thor will also give him an extra warning not to cross over the line, or he'll take action. ''Again''. Raiden, for his part, simply told the current Thunder God that if they do come to blows, the result ''won't'' be like last time]].
* It is customary to quote ''[[ComicBook/SecretInvasion "My God has a hammer!"]]'' to identify Thor (especially to differentiate him and Fate). Though that's no longer necessary since she's moved to the sub-house of Pantheon/MagicArchetypes.
* Currently had an uneasy tension with Iron Man after his actions of building a ''nefarious'' clone of him. However, as time passed and Tony repents, Thor also lets down and try to fix their relationship, finalized at around April 2010.
* Is VERY MUCH respected by all heroic gods in the pantheon, and has allies in pretty much every house on it. He also hangs out a lot at the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare looking for epic fights that will be made songs of. He's also always willing to serve as an enforcer for the House of Pantheon/{{Justice}}, as his good friend [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] is there.
** Whatever you do, do ''not'' ask him to put his hammer down. The last time that happened, it made contact with Captain America's Vibranium shield and decimated the House of Nature with one solid swoop. It took the House of Craft and the House of Heroes a whole day to fix it.
* The presence of Freya made Thor aware of [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} the Battlefield of the Gods]] and he apologized for rarely being present there, saying that there are many evildoers in the mortal realm that he has to defeat. The good thing is, he gets to keep Loki at bay here because he's kinda [[GameBreaker broken]] [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} over there]], something that Freya is very thankful at.
** When he does have free time, he does get over there. And he's also surprised to see Amaterasu there in a woman guise, instead of [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} a dog]] that [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 he used to fight in a clash between two worlds]].
* When he first heard of [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Odin's]] ascension, Thor believed it to be his father, [[ComicBook/{{TheMightyThor}} Odin Borson]] but upon encountering said Odin he found that the swordsman was not his father. Thor took up arms against Odin, perceiving an insult to the Allfather's name. As is often the case when Thor takes to arms, the battle was climatic and worthy of retelling. As they struggled against one another, Mjölnir and Zantetsuken clashed so fiercely it threatened to level a wing in the House of Nature. Exhausted and finding mutual respect, the gods chose to part ways. Though never calling the other friend, it was clear an unspoken bond was forged.
* Recently Thor came upon a curious world when he sensed that someone besides himself had used Mjölnir's power. Upon further investigation, he learnt that a [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/avenging-40k-avengers-fusion.231663/ Space Wolf by the name of Magni was deemed worthy by Mjölnir to be its wielder sometime after the local Thor died during Ragnarok]].
** Afterwards Thor encountered Leman Russ and after a typical Fenrisian challenge of food, beer and fighting, the two hit of wonderfully. Russ even went as far as to say that Thor would have been a better brother than his archenemy [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Magnus the Red]].
** Speaking of worth, while it [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield only allows itself to be carried by someone it deems worthy]][[labelnote:list of worthy warriors (aside from Thor and Odin)]][[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Captain America]], [[Pantheon/{{Weather}} Storm]], [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Wonder Woman]], Spider-Man 2099, Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Puddlegulp the Frog, [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]] (after granted permission), [[Film/{{Thor}} a random paramedic]], [[ComicBook/PowerPack Zero Gee]], [[spoiler:Jane Foster]][[/labelnote]], Mjölnir can still be manipulated like an ordinary hammer of its size as long as it's not held. (e.g. an elevator can still lift itself with the hammer inside it, and those who can carry it without holding it like [[Pantheon/StarWars Force-users]], [[MindOverMatter other telekinetics]], or ferrokinetics like [[Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals Magneto]], but it'll weigh down as soon as it reaches an unworthy person's physical grasp).
* [[FlipFlopOfGod He seems to have a hard time deciding if he should grow a beard or not]]. And even then he can't decide if he should keep it red or blond.
* [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Heed his words, evildoers!]] [[TemptingFate If thou dost wish to challenge the Odinson]], [[CurbStompBattle thou will face the divine power of MIGHTY MJOLNIR!]] '''[[{{Determinator}} NEVER SHALL THE GOD OF THUNDER RELENT!!!]]'''
* [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI Do not remind him of the time he was brainwashed and was forced to work under YHVH]].
** Because of this, he has found a WorthyOpponent called the [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Demi-fiend]]. [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne He lost]]]].
** He also had [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Flynn]] [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV help out Odin while he was suffering from amnesia]].
* Heard about a female 'Valkerie' who also wields a mighty hammer and loves the [[BloodKnight thrill of battles]]. Thor found that person in Nora Valkyrie, in which he was impressed with her battle skills. He actually took her under his wing to train her.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_xFOmYxKYw Thor and Zeus]] decided [[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory to rap against each other]] to see which thunder god is mightier. [[spoiler:It was decided Thor won. Zeus wasn't too happy about that]].
* Being an explorer of worlds (or "Realms", as he often calls them), has gotten along with Captain Kirk, who even thinks Thor looks like [[Creator/ChrisHemsworth his father]].
* Originally, Thor was furious when he discovered that [[spoiler:Kratos had killed Baldur, Magni and Modi, who are the brothers and sons of his alternate self. In addition to the fact that Kratos and his son Atreus may be responsible for unleashing Ragnarok in that timeline, he made plans to attack them both out of vengeance and to prevent them from doing any more damage. However, after finding out more details, he was horrified to discover that the alternate counterparts of the Aesir that Kratos was fighting were mostly arrogant, genocidal, and all-around despicable assholes who ruined countless lives and unjustifiably slaughtered the Jotuns, who were apparently much more peaceful in that timeline. In particular, while Thor was at first disgusted by his alternate self, who was seemingly a vicious, savage brute who seems to have none of Thor's own positive qualities while amplifying his negative ones; he has since learnt that Thor himself was not responsible for many of those negative qualities, that the alternate Thor ''was not happy'' at what he has become, and that the alternate Thor is very clearly trying to better himself for his family. Thor's disgust has since been transferred to the alternate Odin, who was a knowledge-hungry ManipulativeBastard and ControlFreak- very much unlike his own Odin who, while flawed, was ultimately a good guy- that was responsible for his alternate self's trauma, alcoholism and self-loathing, and whose machinations were responsible for many of that particular Aesir's worse qualities. This spurred him to abandon his plans to attack both of them]].
** He ''is'', however, taking steps to ensure that [[spoiler: Loki stays away from Atreus once he discovered that Atreus may very well be an incarnation of Loki. He does ''not'' need his brother trying to mold Atreus in his image.]]
* After [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar failing to stop Thanos from wiping out half of all life with a snap of the Infinity Gauntlet]]... [[spoiler: [[Film/AvengersEndgame Thor spent five years of depression]] as an overweight [[{{Hikikomori}} video game addict and shut in]] who inhales junk-food and drinks beer like water, only leaving his cabin to get more beer]]. During this time he became friends online with one [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]], whom he found a kindred-spirit as a fellow [[spoiler:video game and Television addict]]. They regularly spend Fridays [[spoiler:playing VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} together]] in exchange for Thor letting Konata use him as click-bait for her Facebook and Twitter account.
** He also befriended ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' while trying out an antiquated online game called VideoGame/{{Everquest}}, and has gradually picked up the Nerd's "delightful" habit of shockingly-vulgar insults; though the Nerd for his part thinks that "rip off your arms and shove them up your butt" is '''much''' too tame and polite.
* Thor has begun seeking parental advice from the [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Kirito and Asuna]], as similar to their adoption of Yui, he has recently [[Film/ThorLoveAndThunder taken Love Gorrsdottir, a supernatural child ''far'' more powerful than he as his niece as a gestrue of forgiveness to her dying father Gorr the God Butcher.]] Asuna forbidding beer-drinking in her Log House notwithstanding, Thor thoroughly enjoys his visits to the Kirigaya-household as her kind grace and gentle dignity reminds him of his own mother's, not to mention being able to confide stories both joyful and tragic about ''his'' adoptive-brothre Loki with Kirito, who shares the similar pain of losing a blood brother in Eugeo. The trio of warriors, however, must frequently drop their notepads and teacups to stop the mischievous Love from being a bad-influence on the normally well-behaved Yui, causing the two godlings to act out and cause ''considerable'' damage to the normally-tranquil forrests of Aincrad Level 22 during their now frequent childish bouts of "play fighting."

* Annoyed by: The House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection
* Pities: [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Hanzo Shimada]]
* A jotunn who is the goddess of winter, bowhunting, mountains, and skiing. Enraged by the death of her father, Thiazi, she planned to take down all of the Aesir as they are all responsible of his father. She and the Aesir instead reach a compromise and to reconcile. The first one is to make her laugh, which Loki managed to succeed in doing so, which lets Odin's take Thiazi's eyes to the sky to turn into stars, which pleases her. The second is letting her choose a husband among them, but only by looking at her feet. Wanting to marry Baldr, she failed as she accidentally choose Njord, which also makes her the step-mother of Freya and Freyr. Their living conditions eventually led them to lie an awful wedded life, which causes them to separate and return to their lives.
* The reason why she ascended is because of this. Her domains like winter, bowhunting, and mountains are very understandable, but skiing? It is one of the weirdest things thst you think would inhabit by a deity since not a lot of deities inhabit that and there isn't anything important to skiing in a mythological setting if you really think about it, which is why she ascended.
* She's very happy to see her fellow gods again the Pantheon and celebrated. She's shocked to see that the Thor is different from the one she knew, being that he is much more noble, less of an asshole and more kindhearted, and has different requirements of using Mjolnir, because of this, they get along pretty quickly. She's very happy to hear of [[spoiler: Loki's redemption, and because of that, they become friends again, although it did take a while for it to happen]], but Loki still doesn't forgive her for placing a venomous snake around his face. She's not exactly happy seeing Loki's children and Surtr as they pretty much one of the reasons why Ragnarok happened, killing most of the gods with only a handful of them and two humans survived to rebuild civilization.
** From her fellow gods, she heard a different counterpart of Hel existed and she's not pleased upon hearing the details. Considering she's the Goddess of Death and using that position to caused greater death than what is imagined, [[Film/ThorRagnarok destroyed Thor's hammer]], and slaughtered the Asgardians in that universe, she is not exactly pleased.
* Due to being the goddess of winter, she met the House of Ice And Cold. She befriended all of the deities due to her association with it and although they're weirded out with one of associations is skiing, they didn't spat her out of it since it's a winter sport. It also helps that she knows how to fight, which managed her to get some bonus points with Olaf and Ymir. The only god in that House she didn't get along with is Kaldr. This is because he is the personification of heat death in his universe, uses his powers for evil, and the fact he doesn't mind it really sets her off.
* She got to meet a living snowman in the Pantheon, who is Olaf. Olaf feels bad hearing the story of her father's death, and attempted to console her for it. The fact she managed to reconcile with the people that are responsible for her father's death pretty much astounded him. She is warmed by his loyalty to his friends and is happy to see that he could live in summer without melting. It also helps that he is created by one of her new friends in the Pantheon, Elsa.
* Hearing about [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder a Lostbelt where a Celtic figure became an avatar of her instead of being a warrior queen and goldslayer]], she decided to go off to meet that person, who is Scathach. The goddess of winter is not impressed with what happened in that world and wanted to knock some sense into her....that is until she was stopped by the Master of Chaldea. Hearing about the story from them, she apologized to Scathach from confronting her mercilessly. She admires the Master from saving humanity as a whole even if the situation requires to destroy other Lostbelts to survives and that Scathach is one of the Servants he summoned. She became good friends with them after that and hearing about her other self, she wonders if she could be summoned as a Servant someday. Although for the moment, she has been having extra fatigue because she received a lot of summons for 'farming problems'.
* Seeing that one of her domains as a goddess is archery and is an actual goddess, she was approached by Artemis and became rivals because of this. Artemis feels bad for her awful marriage, ststing that she didn't deserve any of this and wanted to kill the Aesirs for this, but Skaði calmed her down, as she already reconciled with them. Hearing about her association with the mountains, Artemis is happy to hear that there is someone share the same positions with her, even though Skaði is much more associated with winter. Because of this, the two established more of a FriendlyRivalry.
** Through Artemis, she met other archers as a result, including her student, Chiron. She admires the centaur for his good wisdom and his good nature compared to the other centaurs and his family members, with Chiron admiring her sense of justice and judgement (though he does feel uneasy with some of her punishments), which is why they got along and passed more as friends rather than rivals. She also met other human archers, such as Hawkeye, Green Arrow, and Katniss. She is impressed with how keen sense of eyesight and their mastery of archery, and most of all, they're able to do it without having any superpowers to contribute it and are just mortals. With that, they're more like rivalry because she doesn't see them as the type she could hang out with and they're much more likely to have other archers as their own rivals, though she does admire the first two for their jobs as superheroes and the latter for volunteering as tribute in the Hunger Games, seeing it as a selfless act.
** Hearing about an another archer named Hanzo Shimada, she feels bad for him. She thinks it sucks that he is in a redemption quest that is entirely pointless and thinks that he is irredeemable. He is also a bit of DeathSeeker, but it also infuriates her that he couldn't find a way to forgive himself and also accepting Genji's forgiveness, which really sets her off. But she seems that he suffered too much that she calmed down a bit, but she hopes that he'll find a way to forgive himself and also accepting Genji's forgiveness and to become true brothers again. As someone who pursues justice and judgement, she forgives him for his actions, knowing that he has so much regret in his heart that she could feel sympathy for him, and seeing that she forgive the Aesirs for killing her father, it would be hypocritical of her to spite him if it wasn't for his desire of atonement.
* Passionate in the pursuit of justice and judgement with some sources saying she is also the goddess of justice and judgement, she got along with the good side of the House of Justice. She is horrified to learn that there are evil deities of the House of Justice, wondering why they have a position there in the first place. She wanted to say that they should be disband from that House, but she knew she couldn't do anything and decided to leave them be.
* She can be summoned as an SMT demon and as a Persona. She was contracted by Nanashi, Makoto Yuki, Aigis, Yu Narukami, and Ren Amamiya. Hearing that they are already in the Pantheon, she's very happy to see them again, congratulated them in their efforts to save humanity (though Nanashi's situation is different), and is willing to be contracted with them again if they ever need her help.
** The Demi-Fiend is a special case. In his universe, she was one of the guardians of the flow of Magatsuhi and she represents the red temple. The Demi-Fiend was requested to liberate the three temples and in order to safeguard the place, they have to battle. After their battle, she joined him as one of his demons coincidentally by evolving Scathach. Seeing that he is not as different as the one she knew, she's willing to join him again.
* She used to be one of Mem Aleph's enthralled Mothers until being defeated by Tadano Hitonari. Seeing that Skaði is different from the one Mem Aleph knew and that she truly doesn't care about humanity and wants to eradicate them, the goddess doesn't want to serve under her anytime soon, even though she understands her reasons of doing so.
* Some sources say that after she and Njord have a divorce, she remarried Ullr, others said it's Odin. When a lot of deities ask her about it, she gives no comment about it. She doesn't want it to spill around the Pantheon any longer, especially in the House of Love, which really annoys her, as that House is known for it's ShipToShipCombat, so she doesn't say anything about the issue, which disappointed some of the deities.

* Aesir emerged from the cataclysmic events of the First Armageddon, which created the Trinity of Realities. He subsequently became the ruler of the World of Chaos, which eventually became known as the Human World. Watching over humanity, time, and space across infinite possibilities from the holy mountain Fimbulventr, he came to pity humanity for their naivety and lack of free will. Aesir would then choose to grant them free will and the power he wielded was split into two equal halves which he each entrusted to humanity's instincts: the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness. By dividing the power of the eyes of Aesir, humans gained free will and the ability to choose. With control of the Eyes of the World, the eyes that determine destiny, humans could choose their own paths. Because of this, Aesir's soul was split in two and created two embodiments of his personality and powers: Loki, his dark half, who was given the Sovereign Power, and Loptr, his light half, who was given the Prophetic Power. Eventually, humanity gave birth to the negative qualities and sins of the world, such as hatred, betrayal, jealousy, etc. This, in turn, gave rise to the evil within Loptr, who came to regret giving away the Eyes and sought to reclaim his former power.
* Ultimately, Loptr [[spoiler:succeeded in regaining Aesir's power without merging with Loki. However, he was defeated when Bayonetta and Balder, who Loptr himself had brought up from 500 years in the past, summoned Omne, who separated his soul from his body, and Jeanne summoned Gomorrah, who consumed his body. Loptr's soul survived and he attempted to escape to the spirit realm to be reborn in a different era, but Balder intervened and trapped his soul within his body. Afterwards, Balder was transported back into his time and, corrupted by Loptr's evil nature, came up with a plan to resurrect Jubileus. After his plot was foiled, Loptr attempted to escape from Balder's body, but Balder managed to stop him from doing so. As a result, Loptr, along with the Eyes of the World, permanently died along with Balder]].
* When it was discovered that Loptr was still possessing Balder within the Pantheon, Bayonetta went to the Main House to ask how it was possible for him to be present in the pantheon without anyone having noticed it earlier. It was then explained to her that Aesir had actually ascended into the pantheon in the distant past, thus allowing his halves to enter as well. Upon learning of this, Bayonetta asked for Loki to enter as well, which was allowed. Loki was rather surprised to discover that his ascension had restored the Sovereign Power to him. After adjusting to being in the pantheon, Loki and Bayonetta concocted a plan to free Balder and, to his reluctance, merge Loki and Loptr back together. Part of the plan required Loki to use his Sovereign Power to take the Left Eye from Bayonetta, which had similarly been restored to her upon her ascension. During a subsequent battle, Balder, under Loptr's influence, attempted to steal the Sovereign Power from Loki once again, but interference from Bayonetta and several other gods instead resulted in Loptr's soul being removed from Balder and subsequently merging, along with the Right Eye, with Loki, finally restoring Aesir once more.
* Although he expressed his gratefulness towards Bayonetta and the others for stopping his evil half, Aesir explained that his continued existence in his true form would eventually result in humanity losing their free will once again. After consulting the gods of the Main House, it was decided that a spell would be put on Aesir that would periodically force his halves to fuse back into him, thus allowing him to split back into Loki and Loptr again and ensure humanity's free will.
* Aesir, Loki and Loptr each have differing attitudes towards Jubileus and Queen Sheba. Aesir generally tends to remain neutral between the two, as he prefers to maintain balance. Loki is rather dismissive of both of them, preferring to generally just avoid them. Loptr, on the other hand, has actively allied himself with Jubileus and opposes Queen Sheba. However, his alliance with Jubileus is somewhat shaky due to her not fully trusting him, unsure as to whether or not he intends to give the Eyes of the World to her or keep them for himself.
* Exclusive to Aesir:
** As the God of Chaos, Aesir is incredibly powerful. Through his Sovereign Power, he can freely control the Eyes of the World. With the Eyes, he is capable of manipulation and control over all of reality. He can see the past, present, and future, the fate of any being, and see through "everything". Through the Remembrances of Time, Aesir can manipulate time by taking a "snapshot" of a given area or object. This allows him to later recreate an area/object and restore it to its past glory from any changes over time that happened to it since said "snapshot". It can also allow him to see the truth of events that had transpired. However, Aesir's true power is that of Nothingness: the power to erase anything and everything from existence, putting him directly on par with [[Pantheon/AuthorityFigures Grand Zeno]].
** Although he's benevolent, Aesir prefers to stay uninvolved in the various conflicts in the pantheon, as he wishes to preserve the balance between good and evil. When approached by Lucifer with an offer to join the GUAC, Aesir explained that, although he somewhat agrees with their end goal, he does not approve of their methods and, as such, rejected the offer.
** Being a creator deity, Aesir gets along quite well with the other creator deities such Eru Ilúvatar, the Highest Joy, the Alpha and Omega, the God who talks to Bob, and Chuck Shurley, all of whom share his desire to preserve free will. All of them sympathize with the fact that he needs to split himself in order to ensure humanity's free will, allowing his evil half to run around free in the process. However, his interactions with Chuck have soured quite a bit after he learned about how [[spoiler:Chuck treats the universe and humanity like his {{Cosmic Plaything}}s and manipulated Sam and Dean [[ItAmusedMe for his own amusement]]]].
** Aesir is also on good terms with Amara, Raava and Ezalor. He was happy to hear of how Amara and Chuck had reconciled and chose to travel the universe together. However, although he gets along with Raava and Ezalor, he doesn't entirely approve of how they both wish to suppress and/or eliminate darkness, as he believes that it could cause an imbalance that could lead to more harm in the future.
** In contrast to most chaos gods, Aesir serves as the overseer of the balance between good and evil, rather than as some kind of destructive force. As a result, he opposes the various other chaos gods in the pantheon. He regards Eliphas, Don Thousand, Galeem, Dharkon, Vaatu and the Chaos Knight as good examples of how [[BothOrderAndChaosAreDangerous order and chaos are both dangerous]] when not kept in balance. In particular, he regards Galeem and Dharkon as being especially dangerous due to how they nearly managed to wipe out all the Smash Fighters and how Dharkon managed to seize the puppet fighters from Galeem's control to his own, momentarily gaining a considerable advantage over his counterpart. Aesir is also especially wary of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and GOLB, both of whom represent the PrimordialChaos which predates the universe and wish to return all of existence back to that state.
** Unsurprisingly, Aesir quickly came to oppose YHVH and the GUAL. Many have noted that Aesir is a good {{foil}} to gods such as YHVH and Kronika. Where YHVH is an evil God of Order and Kronika is a sadistic Keeper of Time, Aesir is a good God Of Chaos. Where YHVH and Kronika are huge believers in TheEvilsOfFreeWill, Aesir is the one that actually gave his world's humanity free will. Where YHVH and Kronika intentionally pit two factions against each other, Aesir oversees the BalanceOfGoodAndEvil.
** ''"Where we only see reality and make it match our rules of the world, Aesir saw through reality, and those visions became our world. These observations became Aesir's power. Aesir's eyes were truly the eyes that created the world."''
* Exclusive to Loki:
** Loki frequently spends time with Bayonetta, Jeanne and Father Balder. He's particularly happy that Balder has finally [[spoiler:been freed from Loptr's influence]]. When not hanging out with them, he tends to play tricks on various deities throughout the pantheon.
** He surprised to discover that there were other deities in the pantheon with whom he [[spoiler:shared his name]]. He was once forced by Bayonetta to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwHFrXLX4AAeCCc.jpg travel alongside her, Kratos and Atreus up a mountain]]. Although he disliked it at first, he eventually befriended Atreus, appreciating his kindness and compassion. He's also on good terms with the Archangel Gabriel, who similarly likes playing tricks on people and had passed himself off as the Asgardian Loki in the past. Speaking of which, however, Loki also became enemies with the Asgardian Loki, who strongly reminds him of Loptr.
** Loki's use of Tarot cards drew the attention Madame Xanadu, who was initially annoyed by the youth's snarky attitude which, combined with his British accent, strongly reminded her of [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes John Constantine]]. However, she came to respect Loki upon learning of his true identity.
** Loki was quick to befriend Ryoji Mochizuki, who was similarly an amnesiac who was unaware of [[spoiler:being a god]]. Loki sympathizes with how Ryoji was [[spoiler:unwittingly the harbinger of the apocalypse in his own universe]], and was glad to hear that things ultimately turned out well. Loki is similarly on friendly terms with Joshua, although Joshua's attitude typically results in Loki playing a prank on him.
** Loki is also on good terms with Zen and Rei, a deity and human couple who were similarly amnesiacs. Loki particularly bonded with Zen over how they're both [[spoiler:components of other gods]]. Loki also strongly sympathized with them over the circumstances that resulted in their amnesia as well as Rei [[spoiler:finding out that she is a ghost and DeadAllAlong]].
** Loki gets along reasonably well with the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, who has a surprisingly decent grasp on Loki and Loptr's situation due to formerly having been Jyggalag, a deity of order, before being transformed into his diametric opposite and the two currently existing as separate beings.
** ''"You don't need the Eyes of the World, love. I believe in your kind. You can create whatever future you desire."''
* Exclusive to Loptr:
** Loptr is extremely annoyed by how he's forced to periodically merge back with Loki and, when not targeting Loki directly, spends extended periods of time looking for a way to once again regain his Aesir form without Loki. He's interested in the Fusion Program-enhanced tech of [[Pantheon/CombinedForms Mido]], but is rather reluctant to try and use it due to how it tends to cause the resulting fusions to suffer from a severe case of [[AxCrazy violent madness]] and eventual [[SanitySlippage breakdown of sanity]]. Similarly, [[Pantheon/SchoolTypes Mao]] has expressed an interest in using Loptr and Loki as test subjects for his own fusion machine. However, Loptr declined the offer due to the fact that Mao has trouble building such a machine without it [[StuffBlowingUp blowing up on him]].
** Despite his temporary betrayal of YHVH in order to ascend Jubileus, Loptr has continued to cooperate with him and the GUAL due to their shared goal. He's also on good terms with Chakravartin and Zanza, as he shares the former's manipulative nature and the latter's desire to [[InTheirOwnImage recreate the world in his own image]].
** Surprisingly, he's willing to work with demons like Satan, Fortinbras and Mundus. Although Loptr himself tends to avoid directly answering why he works with them, it's generally accepted that he's just using them as a means to an end.
** Due to his [[HumansAreBastards disdainful view of humanity]], Loptr enjoys working with evil humans, especially those who [[TranshumanTreachery forsook their humanity]], as they reinforce his belief that humans don't deserve to have free will. As such, he occasionally works with the likes of Enrico Pucci, [[spoiler:Sun Li]], Ragyo Kiryuin and Relius Clover. However, his alliance with Ragyo resulted in him becoming enemies with her daughter Ryuko Matoi, although he generally doesn't view her as much of a threat to him.
** Loptr strongly dislikes the GUAC and especially its leader Lucifer, as his desire to create a world with absolute freedom where all sentient beings are free to do as they please is something that Loptr finds abhorrent. Loptr has stated that when he fully regains the powers of Aesir, he intends his first action to be the elimination of Lucifer.
** Aside from Bayonetta herself, Loptr has also become enemies with her various allies in the Pantheon, such as Gene and Akeno Himejima. Dante and Vergil Sparda also both oppose him, having been suspicious of him back when he was still controlling Balder. When Sparda himself ascended, his friendships with both the Umbra Witches and the liberated Balder would infuriate Loptr to no end, especially when Loki was quick to boast of it as a gain.
** ''"Human free will is a joke; it is a worthless illusion. You need only obey me."''

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Leeroy Jenkins]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Lúcio]], Tiki
* Long ago, the Ashunera discarded all of her emotions, which took the form of [[GodOfChaos Yune]]. This left her as Ashera, the [[GodOfOrder Goddess of Order and Restriction]]. After failing to wipe out all of the beorc and laguz, Ashera decided to follow Yune into the [[Pantheon/TropePantheons Trope Pantheon]].
* Upon ascending, Ashera thought her ideal House would be Pantheon/OrderAndChaos, only to notice [[OrderVersusChaos how much conflict there was in that house]]. About half of these fellow Gods were enemies, while the rest prioritized order like Ashera does. She also took residence in Divine Roles, where she also noticed a conflict between order and chaos. Suffice to say, her introduction to these houses has only exasperated the situation.
* As soon as she saw Sephiran in the Pantheon, she accepted him into her services once again, the latter returning to his Goddess. The Black Knight quickly followed, since Ashera is his master's master. However, when upon seeing Yune, Ashera immediately prioritized her destruction, and this time, she's not settling for her being sealed away inside a medallion. Ike also drew her unwanted attention since [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu he killed her]] with Yune's help. Micaiah hates her for not having any compassion for her own allies who fight for her. Grima is another target that she opposes. They wish to destroy everything, but she wishes for everything to be replaced with another, newer species. Grima tells her that mortals will always find ways to be evil and that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never create a species that bends to her wishes.
* When Ashera learned about the [[TableTopGame/Warhammer40000 Four Chaos Gods]], she deemed them to be an immediate threat to be wiped from existence. Where Yune only feared them, Ashera is willing to wait until her powers are fully restored to turn them into stone before they can learn of her existence, [[NoNonsenseNemesis taking no chances]].
* In regards to Manga/OnePiece, Ashera has employed Akainu/Sakazuki into her services. Sakazuki has taken note of her orderly outlook and her [[SuperEmpowering blessings]] will allow him to destroy all pirates in the Pantheon. The pirates (as well as the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare) remind her too much of the conflicts that caused her to awaken and to discard her emotions, and [[HumansAreFlawed humanity's faults in general]].
* Malthael has caught her attention with [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill his end goal]]. Ashera is in agreement; if mortals are unable to choose between what they can do, they will not become evil and remain orderly. With their combined power, only a select few in the Pantheon can stop them.
* Pantheon/OrderAndChaos is one heck of a roller coaster:
** LeeroyJenkins isn't so much of an enemy as he is a distraction, so he's a low priority on her [[TakenForGranite petrification list]]. The same cannot be said about Turles, who uses the Tree of Might to sap the life out of entire planets in order to power himself and his Crusher Corps. Lúcio has a problem with Ashera's plans since she's unwilling to give humanity a second chance. He'd much rather be friends with her {{Foil}} Yune. Ashera is opposed to Don Thousand [[ChaosIsEvil on principle]]. The latter sees her as a reflection of Eliphas, but without the ability to [[DuelsDecideEverything challenge her to a card game]], he had to fight her the old fashioned way. Loptr at first seemed trustworthy to Ashera, but seeing how he's responsible for half of the bad things they've done while claiming they need to be purged is nothing short of [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]]. That said, Loki's not too content with her [[BadBoss petrifying her own loyal followers]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after she's done with them]].
** On the flip side, Hotaru sees Ashera as a worthy ally since her ideals align nicely with his. Since chaos will always lead to conflict, he thinks it's best that Ashera succeeds in her plans for humanity since HumansAreBastards. Yaldabaoth was made from humanity's desire to maintain order, so Ashera gets along well with them. Even Death the Kid is willing to side with Ashera. The kinds of dangers that Ashera seeks to rid the Pantheon of remind him of [[TheCorrupter the Kishin's madness]].
* Divine Roles also is a bit of a doozy:
** She has made herself fierce enemies with Sheogorath for their opposite alignments, with Sheogorath seeing her a complete stuffy bore while Ashera sees him as a ditzy fool.
** On the other hand, she made allies with Shekinah because of their desire to create a truly orderly world and their hatred of chaos. YHVH is pleased about gaining more allies, much to Lucifer's dismay.
* The Goddess has noticed how similar her plans are to that of Soul Caliber. They both want to render everyone in a permanent dormant state for [[OrderIsNotGood reasons related to order]]. The details are different (Soul Caliber uses ice), but they're close enough. Madara Uchiha is another potential partner. [[SuperpowerLottery As if he wasn't strong enough already]], Ashera's blessings ensure that his [[LotusEaterMachine Infinite Tsukuyomi]] would go off without a hitch. Not even [[spoiler:a surprise betrayal from Black Zetsu]] could get through [[NighInvulnerability Mantle]].
* Also has a spot in Pantheon/OrderAndChaos.

* Chakravartin is the creator and god of the world of Gaea, and the true identity of the Golden Spider. The embodiment of Samsara, he comes off as a distant if loving god, but in truth is [[GodIsEvil a cold-hearted sociopath]] who masterminds tragedy for his benefit. He would mastermind conflict in Gaea, all for his greater purposes. Learning of the Trope Pantheon, Asura now seeks to play his [[MultiArmedAndDangerous many, many hands]].
** He has earned Asura's great ire for kidnapping Mithra, but they must settle their score in their own world before settling it in the Pantheon. As far as the outcome, the Pantheon consulted The Fates: the last images seen were [[ColonyDrop the Brahmastra falling to Earth]], and Asura and Yasha fighting one another again. "This is going to be fun", was the one comment The Golden Spider made on this subject.
** After his defeat at the hands of Asura, he has had very little to say due to coming down with a case of acute 'Missing half of your face' syndrome.
* For a time, Chakravartin would serve as the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the Embodiment of the Wheel of Life]], going by his Golden Spider form. However it wasn't considered a specific enough trope for him, and enough time had passed that [[ItWasHisSled everyone knew the truth about him]]. Chakravartin has re-instated himself as the God of [[TheMaker Prime Movers]], likely to keep an eye on others in the House of Faith.
** Considers YHVH to be his main rival in the god department. In his own house, he sits next to Aleph, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and God. With Aleph, he's concerned he may try to kill him as he did YHVH. With the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he regards him as horribly irresponsible and a mockery to the divine. He hasn't anything to say about God, but God thinks [[GodIsEvil he's undeserving of his Creator status]].
* Chakravartin believes himself to be [[GodIsGood a wise and beneficent Creator]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist who only causes suffering to get an heir and be free to other worlds]]. [[SubvertedTrope He's not a good god]]. [[GodIsEvil He really isn't]]. He may use an OmniscientMoralityLicense, [[ShutUpHannibal but Asura rightly told him to shove it up his ass]]. Team Dai-Gurren agrees, seeing him as another selfish, ruthless monster like the Anti-Spiral. For now, Chakravartin has teamed up with the Anti-Spiral in order to counter both Asura and Spiral Power.
** Has sought to recreate the conflict with other gods. So far, he's gotten Dartz, Lysandre and Apocalypse on his side; Dartz and Lysandre to fulfill their dreams of [[KnightTemplar a better world]] through destruction, and Apocalypse by fanning the flames of war.
** Zanza can get behind Chakravartin's views, as they both agree [[ItsAllAboutMe the world exists for them]] and feel they're better off working together. Fellow creator deity Arceus doesn't get along, as Chakravartin hoped to ensnare the weaker Alpha Pokemon for his own purposes and Arceus thinks he's a terrible god.
* He is virtually the only known individual in the Pantheon to talk down to '''Melkor''' of all people, and does it to his face, citing that as the spinner of life in Asura's universe, and with Melkor having been created by [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Eru]], the "Lord of the Rings" universe's {{God}}, he is above him. To quote what he said: "I am the Creator of all life in my world; you are merely a '''creation''' of your God". Melkor has apparently vowed to squash him for this "insult".
** Given his spider form and disdain for Melkor, it would seem that Ungoliant and he would get along. However, the AnimalisticAbomination could not help but try and feast on the life force he emanated, resulting in Chakravartin swatting her away. He does permit [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Arachne]] to visit his webs, possibly as some sort of scheme against the Greek gods of the pantheon.
** Tends to distance himself from [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Nekron]], and has been seen making a spider's web in a tree near The Entity's residence, claiming that as fellow weavers of life, he's comfortable around the White Light Entity. Nekron and the GUAD seek to despoil the lifestreams they maintain, in hopes of making the annihilation of all life an easier feat.
* Chakravartin is the master of Mantra, cosmic energies produced by the emotions from souls and prayers. Interestingly, the eight forms of Mantra are similar to the SevenDeadlySins. Some suspect Chakravartin may be [[SatanicArchetype a devil, rather than a god]]. He reacted, dispassionate yet [[TranquilFury clearly furious]]; "I am no servant of a higher being, fallen or otherwise. I ''am'' a higher being, '''never''' claim otherwise."
** Chakravartin is in control of reincarnation in his world, however, cannot reincarnate himself and thanks to Asura killing his "mortal" body cannot survive outside the pantheon. [[{{Understatement}} He considers this to be... unfortunate]]. Has been also trying to usurp Virtuous' position as the goddess of reincarnation.
** In his Golden Spider form, he rules Naraka; an afterlife realm with an endless number of pillars. Often will associate with the House of Life and Death because of this.
* Like most [[{{God}} Creator Deities]], The Golden Spider remains silent on the subject of YHVH. While he claims his form is simply [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith an efficient guise]], the explanation is at odds with his requiring Mithra's body as a temporary vessel and the small fact that YHVH's upper-tier Angels have started carrying golden flyswatters.
** Is amused by "The God of Light" Fortinbras and decided to work alongside this Creator God for the moment as a means to further his own plans.
** Knows [[spoiler:what lurks in Balder]] and through that connection has gained angels to work alongside The Golden Spider.
* As one of the most powerful entities in the Pantheon, Chakravartin has interest in other Overdeities. Lucifer has nothing but disdain towards him, seeing the Creator as similar to YHVH. Gaea, in particular, has a personal vendetta towards him for being the mastermind behind Gohma Vlitra, whom she regards as a parasite trying to usurp her being.
** May have picked [[TimeStandsStill his time-freezing powers]] from Dio Brando. Dio Brando considers him a possible rival in that field and may seek to usurp his power one day.
** Though Chakravartin may best [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus]] in combat, he prefers not to provoke him. His experiences with Asura has made him wary of destruction deities, and he doesn't have a reason to antagonize the Overdeity.

* The Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos is the opposite force to fight against the God of Discord, Chaos. Summoning warriors across time and space, the two of them have been fighting each other with their selective champions to one day finally defeat one another. When the Pantheon was in its earliest days and the Grand United Alliance of Good was being formed, her ability to unite multiple heroes together was the deciding factor for her to be the leader of such a grand order.
** However, there is more to Cosmos than just a beautiful deity. [[spoiler:She is in fact a [[ArtificialHuman Manikin]] who was designed after, and has the memories of, the wife of Cid of the Lufaine, in order to keep [[LivingWeapon Chaos]] under control. Eventually she, Chaos and Cid escaped their world through the Interdimensional Rift into "World B". There the three of them as well as the warrior Garland made a deal with the dragon deity Shinryu. As part of the pact, Cosmos became a goddess thanks to Shinryu's powers to fight in an endless loop against Chaos, with them sending warriors to be sacrificed to make Shinryu stronger with their memories and powers, as well as make Chaos stronger until he is strong enough to open the Rift again to get everyone back to their homeworld.]]
** [[spoiler:Ultimately, though, the Warriors of Cosmos started to influence her and the once-pawn of the cycle wanted to make it stop. She believed that, by giving her warriors fragments of her power as Crystals, they would unlock their true potential, and after letting herself get killed in order to break the cycle, they could defeat Chaos once and for all so that everyone could return from whence they came. Needless to say, she was successful.]]
** Even though [[spoiler:she herself is gone, her will reincarnated as Materia and Chaos' own into Spiritus]] when a [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015 new cycle of war suddenly popped up]]. While [[spoiler:the two started fighting without knowing much of anything about their past selves, they ultimately decided to keep on fighting in more of a good spirit in order to maintain balance in World B]]. Cosmos hopes Materia [[spoiler:and Spiritus]] will do a good job in World B without her help.
** There has been some speculation on Cosmos' origins. [[Pantheon/ShinMegamiTensei The deities of the ''Persona'' universe]] believe the Goddess of Harmony to be an AnthropomorphicPersonification of goodness itself, born when virtue first crystalized as a philosophy somewhere in the multiverse. Some Christian deities believe Cosmos to be a former angel, based on her appearance, who was unhappy with their Lord's oversight of mortals and became a deity herself to advance her own virtuous ideals. [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Sailor Moon]] has a theory that Cosmos could be Sailor Cosmos, the greatest Sailor Guardian in history, or an [[AlternateSelf alternate version]] of her. Some of the [[Pantheon/StarWars Jedi]] see Cosmos as an embodiment of the Light Side of the Force. For her part, Cosmos prefers to let people know that goodness comes from within, not without.
* Cosmos was around during the Pantheon's early days and was given the title of the '''[[GodOfGood Goddess of Good]]'''. At first, Eru Iluvatar was leading the GUAG but as he was not used to front-lining leadership he needed an active replacement; Cosmos volunteered to replace him and as he reviews her previous experiences, Eru considers worthy and declared her the new Leader of the Grand United Alliance of Good. They both still maintain a cordial relationship to this day. Gygax & Arneson had also arrived to the Pantheons as early as Cosmos and Eru, only slightly later than them. Cosmos and Eru are thankful for their new position as leaders of the Pantheon and they hope the two will help maintain the balance further, given their experience as dungeon masters.
* Even though she is the leader of the GUAG, she isn't really one to fight her own battles. While she can fight, her powers mainly focus on protecting her warriors than outright fighting herself. That being said, she can give anyone the right advice to give them the morale boost they need, and if she needs to, she can bestow fragments of her powers to other warriors to make them stronger.
** She is rather accepting when it comes to who want to join the GUAG. As long as they want to do good, she is more than willing to accept them in. But please, if you want to do some sort of divisive gambit, make sure you talk to her first. [[spoiler:She doesn't want the events of the 12th cycle of happening again where Kain and Warrior of Light kept on slaying the other warriors to protect them from the Manikins.]] She also recognises, like Philemon, that people cannot be forced into doing good because to truly do so, it must be voluntary. Forcing people to join her alignment would make the GUAG hypocritical and more like the GUAL or GUAE in nature.
** She also does fair amount of counselling to the GUAG members, mentoring them to the best of her abilities if they need it. She has heard it all from every branch of the "Good" alignment, to the [[ActualPacifist most stern pacifists]] to the [[BloodKnight most battle-hungry heroes]]. [[spoiler:She even takes the time to listen to non-GUAG members requiring soul-searching from other alliances. Jaime Lannister is one of those examples, with her giving the former Kingslayer necessary advice to break free of Cersei's [[{{Twincest}} toxic influence]] and encourage him to train in other fighting arts to humble himself]].
* To bolster her forces, Cosmos resummoned the Warriors of Light again because to her, it's better to first bring in who you know into the fray. They in turn were glad to see her and once they are informed of the bigger ForeverWar going on far greater than the conflict of World B, the Warriors are ready to fight for her once again. Especially the Warrior of Light, who is greatly faithful and loyal to her and Cosmos in turn sees him as a valuable servant to care for. It doesn't surprise her that Lord Chaos had also ascended at around the same time as her, with the Warriors of Chaos coming in later and gradually. Chaos claims that he'll fight her once again just like before, but so far he hasn't made much strikes against her, probably due to Melkor opposing her more and [[spoiler:being reminded of his own mother whenever he sees her again]]. Either way, Cosmos is going to be watching his next step along with his warriors, especially Kefka Palazzo who had threatened World B a few times on his own and proved to be more deadly.
* As she is the big leader, Cosmos is automatically allies with the members of the GUAG Command who are big and important members of the organization. They definitely treat each other more as equals than with a chain of command but nonetheless still defer to Cosmos as her good morals provide a true final say in whatever matter they brought up. It's a very long list, but some specific allies there had some interesting relations...
** Cosmos kinda likes [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Alexander the Great]]'s antics and believed in the "conquering by befriending together" philosophy he follows and she can hold her liquor against the finest wines, something that pleasantly surprises Alexander. She also believed in the Power of Bonds and keeps the line when [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Tokugawa Ieyasu]] is starting to stray off, and thus Ieyasu considers her a good friend. [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Rachel Alucard]] actually respects Cosmos and often decreases her snarking tendencies around her presence; although Cosmos was a little put off with her tendency of "doing things because she's bored" and wished Rachel would get serious, she still appreciates her knowledge and commands. [[Pantheon/OtherRelatives Reed Richards]] is fine with her as long as she lets him do whatever he wants and [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Jean-Luc Picard]] likes her stance on morality and upholding the dignity of all beings, civilizations, and cultures, not to mention she opposes despotism and inflicting suffering on others; in fact, he was so moved, he gave [[PatrickStewartSpeech a passionate speech]] in defense of her ideals. [[Pantheon/MilitaryTechnology Lady Honor Harrington]] also respects her for her achievements and the fact that she was able to rally such a high number of good-aligned deities under a single banner, even plenty of anti-heroes and anti-villains.
** Cosmos have also admired [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Makoto Yuki and Kotone Shiomi]]'s tactical prowess in combat and counts on them to lead their allies old and new and in turn, the two are loyal to her as she proves to bring a breath of fresh air since Nyx and Erebus. [[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Commander Samuel Vimes]] is loyal to enforcing the law and justice, not her (as he has a bit of contempt for serving any deity, even though he is one); however, he does realize the GUAE are threatening law and order, and is helping Cosmos because as a copper, it's what he supposed to do. The same goes for [[Pantheon/{{Economics}} Captain Alex]] who is glad that Cosmos allows him to [[ForGreatJustice fight against the criminals of the Pantheons]]. Cosmos respects [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Josiah Bartlet]]'s commitment to America, but has asked he extends his patriotism to helping all those who have been oppressed by evil which is more than fair in his opinion, and thus Bartlet has pledged his support for her. [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Tommy Oliver]] is more than willing to help Cosmos even if he wants to go back to teaching, [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ Yoda]] share a close friendship with her which is maybe out of being old, [[Pantheon/{{Eyewear}} Date Masamune]] have numerous reasons to join yet is still very loyal to her and [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Havelock Vetinari]] feels allying with her is necessary to his currently unclear plans.
* Despite the quick assumption that Chaos is Cosmos' greatest adversary, he pales compared to Melkor. Like him, Cosmos have not met Melkor before being appointed as the leader of the GUAG and if he did, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is [[MagneticHero able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds]] to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. She surmised that his BadBoss reputation within the GUAE has deterred new recruits from joining.
** By virtue, Cosmos also opposes Melkor's fellow Horsemen Griffith, Majin Buu and Johan Liebert. Their depravity (Griffith and Johan especially) are deplorable and dangerous enough for Cosmos that she decided to build more morale and warnings against their terror. The other Horsemen do see her as a formidable foe after Melkor first briefed them about her, with Griffith being assured that destiny will be at his favour and not Cosmos, Majin Buu looks forward to killing her himself and Johan looks forward to demoralizing her subordinates just so he can make her despair. Other GUAE high-ranking members Cosmos are enemies with are Malebolgia and Damien Thorn, the latter of which is closer to Melkor as a honorary "son" of sorts; they too also see her as an enemy with Malebolgia finding her no better than the God he knows even though she is miles more virtuous than Him and Damien sees her as a hindrance to his mission of bringing hell on Earth.
* Besides Melkor, Cosmos opposes the other GUA leaders YHVH, Lucifer, and Nekron because they have less-than-benevolent agendas to take over the Pantheons and for everyone involved. YHVH respects her to some degree as she has managed to unify so many heroes under one banner but the fact she oppose him still lies, which is disappointing as YHVH sees her potential on keeping Order throughout many realms. While Lucifer acknowledges her as an adversary and has no intention of losing the War of the Alliances to her, he also [[WorthyOpponent respects her]] quite a bit and has noted that if someone besides him absolutely had to be the winner of the War, he would much rather it be her than the others; because after all, she too acknowledges the dignity of sentient beings and respects their right to freedom while Melkor and YHVH are both, as he put it, "on a self-indulgent ego trip". As for Nekron, he also opposes her by virtue as she hinders their plans of omnicide.
** Believe it or not, her biggest concern when it comes to one particular deity is not the other faction leaders, but Shinryu. She fears that with her being the head of GUAG would mean that the ForeverWar nature of the Pantheon could keep on making Shinryu stronger and stronger. Not only that, but she fears that Shinryu could easily depower her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness the moment he is bored with her.]] From this, it is questionable that Cosmos can even count as an Overdeity. When the Court reviewed her ascension, they determined that her power level makes her a borderline Greater Goddess, but her status as the greatest example of pure good in the Pantheon lets her keep her current rank. This makes her weaker than the other Alliance leaders, and her influence lower than theirs. When not battling, Melkor milks this power gap for all its worth.
*** Luckily, it turns out that even if he's more powerful than her and Chaos, Shinryu still doesn't stand a chance against other and more powerful deities. It's still not enough to quell her fears though, as he is allying with more villainous deities in order to stay alive and have a chance at her.
*** One could argue that Cosmos' true power comes from the GUAG, which is arguably the most powerful alliance in the Pantheon due to the power of its members (which includes several Overdeities and ''many'' Greater Gods), sheer numbers, and the loyalty many members have to Cosmos herself. Cosmos also has the favor of deities who preserve cosmic balance such as [[Pantheon/{{Continuities}} Alpheus the World-Forger]], [[Pantheon/FantasticalJobs Uatu the Watcher]], [[Pantheon/CelestialBodiesAndStars Eternity]] and several of [[Pantheon/DCComics the Endless]]. Despite her lack of personal power compared to the other alliance leaders, Cosmos is one of the most influential deities in the Pantheon, to a degree that even Overdeities would envy.
** Other villains who Cosmos came to oppose are Frank Underwood and Ultraman Belial who are allied with the GUAE and the GUAD respectively. Both have seen her as a goody-two-shoes who shouldn't get in their way of their aims to conquer with Underwood privately stating that he "only prays to himself" and Belial having a sour reminder of the Ultras whenever he sees Cosmos.
* Throughout the cycles in World B, Cosmos and Lord Chaos wage war that in some ways, preserve balance and more so when Materia and Spiritus carries on that later on [[spoiler:with the two doing so in good spirit after defeating Shinryu together]]. It's why she has disdain for Kronika and her children Cetrion and Shinnok who established the conflict in their world so that it fits Kronika's idea of balance and order which she sees as a perversion to the usual [[BlackAndWhiteMorality good-versus-evil conflict]]. Not to mention that Cetrion would planned that if she were to take control of the Hourglass, it would be way too similar to the things Cosmos once tried to stop. Kronika scoffed at her as she had expected that Cosmos is too virtuous both for her own good and unfit for her ideal order, with Cetrion agreeing and called it a shame that they are not allies and Shinnok is reminded of Raiden at his most righteous when seeing her.
** Another pair of seemingly opposite deities who are nonetheless no different than each other are the Daedric Princes Molag Bal and Meridia. Molag Bal is the closest being to a GodOfEvil in his world and he did numerous atrocites that disgusted Cosmos greatly, such as starting the first rape that gave rise to the first of TheUndead and vampires just to spite the god of birth and death Arkay and enjoying corruption of the purest of heroes, making no better than worst of Chaos and/or Shinryu; Molag Bal likewise sees her as just like Meridia and made it very clear however grand or [[EvilIsPetty petty]].
*** Speaking of Meridia, Cosmos and by extension many in the GUAG would rather not associate themselves with the Lady of Infinite Energies after hearing about her manipulations during [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Molag Bal's Planemeld]] and support of the Elven race called the [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleids]] in the past and their resurfacing sometime around the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion Crisis]] when one of them attempts to overthrow the Divines and as such frequently butt heads with eachother should the situation allow them to cross paths. Cosmos and the Alliance are firmly for prioritizing all life whereas Meridia would only look out for the select few, and the few are perfectly liable to be culled if she deems it necessary in some way, shape, or form. Both Cosmos and Meridia have since been common opponents of one another.
** Cosmos then heard of the Ones, who have established the balance of the Force in their world and as expected, she got along with the Daughter for being women who championed for good. She was more than willing to let her join, while also being sympathetic towards The Daughter for having to oppose her brother. That said, The Daughter does not take direct action unless the The Son is involved. The reason is that she still wishes to fallow her father's orders, so she primarily takes a position in the Pantheon/GUAGMedicalDivision; there, she can user her Force Powers with great effect without disobeying her father. Seeing that, Cosmos is reminded of her situation with her father and creator Cid of the Lufaine and hopes to find a way to ascend him soon.
** Kreia doesn't like Cosmos as she sees her, Melkor and their respective organizations to be either extremely naive or too temperamental for their own good, and believes that balance is the key, something that neither sides have ever accomplished throughout their years[[note]]Kreia is still not aware of Materia and Spiritus' current situation but don't tell her that...[[/note]]. For a time, she also considered this to be the case for good and evil and why the ideals for the heroes to be utilitarian made them inhuman (and weak for those who show mercy) and the villains to be extremely selfish. Cosmos is dismayed that the circumstances in Kreia's life caused her to view the Force very bleakly and became vigilant in case she tries to derail the entire war, but she has taken her view that the Force is dangerous with a grain of salt because who knows if the Force really does cause imbalances to all of the Pantheons.
* As she was created in the image of Cid of the Lufaine's wife, Cosmos was redirected to Trish, a demon who is made to look like Dante's mother and Sparda's wife Eva in order to lure Dante. Unexpectedly finding a kindred spirit in a goddess [[spoiler:who started out as a Manikin]], Trish appreciates her company though she would like her more if she wasn't getting lectures in the way she's dressing. Sparda himself is also reminded of his wife when seeing her, and since Eva is currently his Herald the women do meet from time to time, which is something Sparda is very welcome to. It also helps that he has mutual respect towards the House of Heroism and he's partnered with the Sacred Knights.
* In terms of really close friends, they tend to be other high-end gods who are GodOfGood, at least in their setting. Aside from Eru, The Monitor and Ahura Mazda have provided big help towards the GUAG with the former being more willing to bring in villains and other morally grey beings should Cosmos is unable to call them in. Like Eru, Gan takes a hands-off approach in helping the GUAG and counts on Cosmos in doing the rest; the same goes for Dream of the Endless and he'll intervene to help her should the forces of evil become to powerful to handle like the aforementioned Barbatos. Mata Nui and Philemon are also strong allies of Cosmos in the Pantheons, with Mata Nui preferring her presence over YHVH's and Philemon was initially distrusted by her until Tatsuya Suou's intervention forced him to better himself which Cosmos hopes he'll stay on the right track.
* Cosmos had recently helped Captain America in re-establishing the House of Pantheon/{{Defense}} as a non-partisan force dedicated to rescuing innocent civilians and minimizing property damage. The first among them are chaos, the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, Aang, Amaterasu and Athena. chaos respects those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity or all of creation and she is an example of that though he did have some initial confusion over her name which are somewhat similar[[note]]KOS-MOS & Cosmos[[/note]] that he managed to quickly cleared up. Cosmos also has a diplomatic alliance with the PPC and supports their endeavors in their mission to maintain the continuum and that they'll make it in spite of their [[DysfunctionJunction dysfunctional work environment]], her relations with Aang go back to the Pantheonic Rebellion and has strengthen since because of their shared desire to protect all of the living and the same goes with Amaterasu and Athena though the latter is a little harder to work with considering some of her questionable actions.
** Related to her alliance with the PPC, Cosmos started to oppose Barbatos, the Anti-Monitor and the Nothing for being threats to all of fiction and its inhabitants once they warn her of their threats. Barbatos taunts her and vows to pull the Pantheons into the Dark Multiverse with her helpless, the Anti-Monitor also vowing to destroy everything even fiction that [[EnemyMine it took Cosmos and the other GUA Leaders to beat him together]] the first time round and the Nothing also poses a similar threat which is why she asks her allies to survey the Gmork (the Nothing's Herald) to look out for potential dangerous moves.
* She's also grateful to Haruhi Suzumiya and Ugo for helping maintaining balance in the Pantheon and help sorting the ranks respectively. At least until Whis then came along, but Cosmos knows Haruhi ultimately wants to have fun even if it costs a bad day for everyone around her. Ugo was at first intimidated by Cosmos' [[HartmanHips noticeable physique]] which she initially found amusing but as time and time went on, he got used to it to the point that he's surprised that he managed to overlook his one fear and see Cosmos for the person she is.
* The two most powerful heroes ever, Superman and Son Goku are ecstatic to see a leader of good running the alliance and praises her virtue which she is flattered by. Once they hear her backstory, they gave her full support for her and decided to fight alongside her against future threats. This also extends to [[Pantheon/DragonBall the Dragon Team]], Goku's allies who noticed that she's more proactive than Shenron and while Shenron is a big help, Cosmos gives them help way more often instead. Other champions of good like the dragon Bahamut and the paladin Artix von Krieger also pledge to fight alongside Cosmos, with the former's bond with her strengthen during the Pantheonic Rebellion like what Aang also did and the latter asking her for approval to form the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights; she did and he's forever grateful for that, not to also mention that she praises his triumph of moving past his origin [[spoiler:of being the Champion of Darkness]].
* As she is involved in [[GroundhogDayLoop cycles of time loops]], Cosmos has given help to the Pantheonic Time Police and their endeavours even if she hasn't traveled through time yet. She has however praised Clank and the Doctor for their actions in preserving time, even if for the latter his companions mostly make the messes; the Doctor in turn often helps Cosmos on occasion should she needs his help. She has also been critical of the Dahaka for being relentless against enemies of time with extreme prejudice and Homura Akemi not for the loops but for taking away Madoka Kaname's powers, but she's more sympathetic towards the latter as she can understand wanting to save Madoka who is very dear to her heart.
* Oddly enough, Cosmos managed to strike up a friendship with Mr. Satan, who faked his powerful appearance for a good show but is nevertheless a good person. She does help keep up his facade to those who are not aware of his true nature which is a sentiment that Mr. Satan is very grateful for. Like everybody else, Cosmos deeply respects Mr. Fred Rogers as his boundless kindness and gentle nature has touched the hearts of many; Mr. Rogers is at first weirded out by her existence but later on welcomes her presence as she is only a powerful being dedicated to championing good morals and benevolence.
* Gandalf met with Cosmos to discuss his entry into the Grand United Alliance Of Good, and believes her a fine lady deserving of every ounce of respect she gets, even comparing her to the Lady of Lórien, Galadriel; they parted on good terms and maintain a close professional relationship in their war against Melkor. Madoka also managed to befriend Cosmos, who felt very bad for her after Homura took away her strongest powers; Madoka tells her that Homura should not be blamed any further, which she agrees and they both continue to discuss methods on how to get Homura to open up more about her honest feelings, not just to get Madoka her powers back but to prevent another Pantheon-wide event by her hands.
** The young Illyasviel and Asia Argento also befriended Cosmos and see her as a very reliable adult with Cosmos understanding her DarkandTroubledPast and holds a BigSisterInstinct towards her, similar to Issei and will go MamaBear if she gets hurt though not to the extent of Issei going berserk. After inviting little Illya for ice cream (who initially hesitated), Cosmos heard out Illya's story, shocked that there's little to none parental supervision in her world so she asks Illya to come to her whenever there's any big trouble ahead which Illya takes to heart though she herself is also concerned of Cosmos' safety as well.
* A lot of the neutral-leaning or insincere heroes distrust Cosmos, as she is easily seen as a "goody-two-shoes" who shouldn't be questioning their morality when she hadn't made any harder decisions during her time in the cycles herself, ignoring the fact that [[spoiler:sacrificing herself]] to defeat Lord Chaos is already a hard decision. Lelouch vi Britannia, while still maintaining a strictly professional relationship with Cosmos is of the opinion that she should have made more heart-breaking decisions and while she wants to agree, she can't because there are some lines she wouldn't cross too far. The HeroKiller Stain actually have high praises for Cosmos as he sees her as much of a virtuous paragon as All Might and wishes all other heroes who disagreed with her would follow her example; Cosmos can't agree with that, because even if she disagrees with the same neutral-leaning heroes she wouldn't go out of their way to change their mind by force and plus, Stain killed just to prove his point which earns bad points in her eyes.
** As Eren Yeager slowly makes harsher decisions to the point that [[spoiler:he's willing to turn against humanity in order to keep his loved ones safe]], Cosmos can only hope that he'll come to see that it can't be the only way. The AntiHero Spawn is very jaded towards Cosmos as he has sour memories towards his world's own God who was a bit of a jerk that only tried to help him way later and thinks Cosmos is the same as him; of course, that's not true and Cosmos sympathizes his state as he has no way to properly redeem his sins of slaughtering various people while serving a monstrous devil like Malebolgia.
* Cosmos may be nice enough to give most villains a chance, but not the Nyarlathotep from the world of order versus chaos and Professor Hojo. Nyarlathotep is the embodiment of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humanity's evil]] a seeks to drag humans down to their destruction to prove the point of his existence and Hojo came from Cloud and Tifa's world, causing so many problems that shape them and Sephiroth to this day. The bad guys themselves scoff at Cosmos' righteousness with Nyarlathotep even taunting her that it's pointless to fight for humans and their innate goodness since they will ultimately be selfish again and Hojo vows to revive Jenova yet again just so he can hope to even beat her and carry on with his experiments.
* The Daughter warns Cosmos the threats of Emperor Sheev Palpatine and the Siths, the former having a galaxy-wide agenda of ruling the entire galaxy under his tyrannical fist and the latter individuals having their own agendas to pose problems to innocents; Cosmos accepts these precautions as their potential imbalance to the Force might affect everyone else badly. Palpatine himself scoffs at the goddess but he's intrigued at the abundance amount of champions she rallied, and considered coaxing a few of them to turn evil just to rub it in her face. Darth Vader, and by extension the [=501st=] Legion of Stormtroopers are a little contentious with Cosmos; the Stormtroopers are more okay with working for her but Vader is in hot water for his previous actions both in the name of his loved ones and the Empire. Cosmos is willing to give him another chance but so far Anakin isn't really too interested in getting her approval as long as he keeps atoning for his past sins.
* As for more conflicting alliances, Cosmos is off-put by both Zen'os' childishness mixed with absolute power and she, Aslan and occasionally [[Pantheon/{{Tics}} Q]] are trying to teach them to use their power more responsibly. Even if once she heard that [[spoiler:Zen'o only wanted to teach mortals about the importance of agency]], Cosmos thinks it was still reckless regardless. For Dr. Manhattan, Cosmos hopes that he once again fight for good even if [[spoiler:he nearly extinguished the existences of the JLA and LSH]] as he had been a big help for the GUAG and the Superhero Division; so far, no luck and it seems less likely that he'll ever consider rejoining.
* Cosmos is taking the threat [[Pantheon/HolyAuthorityAndPower Perpetua]] poses ''very'' seriously and is holding discussions with the leaders of the [[Pantheon/GUAGSuperheroDivision GUAG Superhero Division]], the [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality Pantheonic Time Police]] and other advisors in the [[Pantheon/GUAGCommand GUAG Command]] such as [[Pantheon/PredecessorsAndMentors Ghaleon]] and [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Ro]][[Pantheon/MinionsAndSidekicks bin]] to formulate strategies and possible alliances to counter this threat. The Goddess of Harmony sees Perpetua as something like a horrific combination of [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]], [[Pantheon/DimensionalAreas Shinryu]] and [[Pantheon/MethodsOfKilling Kronika]], able to grow in power through [[ForeverWar constant conflict]] with the goal of twisting all of time and existence into a nightmarish parody serving her hideous goals alone. Cosmos knows that beings from the Dark Multiverse could be one possible solution to fight Perpetua, but considers this to be [[GodzillaThreshold a last resort]].
* About once a month, Cosmos arranges a modest tea party at her palace with several select deities she counts as friends. Regular guests at these parties include [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Asia Argento]], [[Pantheon/AdaptationalStyles Illyasviel von Einzbern (PRISMA ILLYA)]], [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka Kaname]], [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Rachel Alucard]], [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Belldandy]] and [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Amaterasu]]. For the Goddess of Harmony, the tea parties are casual affairs where the guests can relax, talk freely and hear the latest news within the Pantheon.
* Few realize that Cosmos is possibly the most influential deity in the Pantheon, which allows her control over roughly ''a third'' of the Pantheon itself. Here's why...
** She is the patron deity of ''every'' heroic deity from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, a highly diverse universe of knowledge, magic, power and technology.
** She is Eru Ilúvatar's chosen successor as leader of the GUAG. As a result of this connection, Cosmos is also an honorary member of the Valar, a very powerful CouncilOfAngels. This is actually one reason why Melkor has grown to hate Cosmos with a passion. As Melkor's diametric opposite, Cosmos also has the allegiance of the heroic deities of Tolkien's Legendarium.
** Amaterasu is one of her closest allies. Through her, many heroic deities from Japan (anime, manga, tokusatsu, etc.) have befriended Cosmos.
** Through Square Enix's partnership with Disney, Cosmos added heroic deities from Disney's franchises to her long list of allies, including Mickey Mouse, Luke Skywalker, Captain America and many, ''many'' others.
** Her allies control the Houses of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, Pantheon/CommunitiesAndSolitude, Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery, Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities, Pantheon/{{Royalty}} and Pantheon/{{School}}, giving Cosmos a great deal of quiet influence over the Pantheon as a whole.
** As the most trusted deity residing in the Main House, Cosmos is usually chosen to personally welcome new deities into the Pantheon, allowing her to give a good first impression to potential new allies.
** In the aftermath of the Pantheonic Rebellion, the GUAG has reorganized itself to become more focused and cohesive as an organization. Because of this and the fact that the GUAG has numerous members throughout the Pantheon, Cosmos currently leads a multiversal NGOSuperpower.
** She is the leader of the Pantheon's most trustworthy faction, which has received requests to guard or watch over persons and objects of interest in the Pantheon. Among such charges are [[Pantheon/PowerLevelsAndAppearance SCP-]][[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes 239]], an [[GooGooGodlike all-powerful child]], and the [[Pantheon/VehiclesDepot Super Dimensional Fortress One]]. Because of this, the GUAG has access to resources their many enemies can only ''dream'' of having.
** She is a MagneticHero with the entire GUAG as her CharacterMagneticTeam. Across countless universes, from superheroes to knights, from aliens to robots, from nations of the past to futuristic civilizations, Cosmos has gathered all of them under a single banner and most of them are ''very'' loyal to her cause and each other. Ironically, Cosmos may be in a better position to conquer the Pantheon than her enemies!

* Opposes: The Houses of Pantheon/{{Craft}} and Pantheon/{{Musicality}}
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Satan (Castlevania)]]
* Ambiguous Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Krona the Mad Guardian]]
* Once the greatest of the Ainur, Melkor was not content with following the sacred designs of his creator Eru Ilúvatar and instead sought to create his tunes of discord and darkness. This initial act of rebellion sparked the evil within him and afterward sought to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans remake Ilúvatar’s world in his unholy image]] then [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it all in the end]]. Branded as Morgoth, the First Dark Lord, the Great Enemy of Arda, and the GodOfEvil, he did whatever he could to take over all of creation. That is until he was captured and [[SealedEvilInACan thrown into the Void beyond Arda]] where he could no longer do any harm until his prophesized return in the second [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Dagor Dagorath]]. While Melkor's Evil lingers across all of Arda, his physical return would have been something to worry about much later — until his ascension that is. By the power vested in the Pantheon, Melkor was broken free of his prison and given a position for historical purposes. Free from the rules of Arda, Melkor finally realized that he could expand his plan to take over all of the existence beyond the realm of Arda but knew that he needed much more help upon seeing [[TheMultiverse the greater omniverse]] that even now eludes him. Gathering all the baddies who were willing to work with him, he formed the Grand United Alliance of Evil. As a response to that, the Grand United Alliance of Good was formed, so needless to say Melkor has his work cut out for him.
* Is not particularly happy that the Court of the Gods is ensuring that he does not return to Arda much earlier than he should, or invade other universes while he is here. Melkor plans to overthrow them eventually but while he’s an Overdeity, [[AlwaysABiggerFish many can outmatch or outnumber him when it comes to power]]. Knowing this, [[OrcusOnHisThrone he sits on his throne giving orders instead of being proactive]] all in the belief that an opportunity will come for him to enact his plans.
* Despises that his brother Manwë and even worse, Eru himself are in the Pantheon watching his every move. The merciful Manwë just wants Melkor to cease his villainous tyranny but is forced to act against him as one of the GUAG’s leaders. Eru while very disapproving of everything Melkor has done does not think DivineIntervention is a suitable punishment for his former Ainur and [[GodsHandsAreTied sits out of the entire conflict]]. Melkor does not want any of their mercy or pity, as all he wants is to destroy both of them once he desolates the creations that they love so dear.
* Loves being credited for influencing [[GreaterScopeVillain all intentionally-evil villains]] at least after the middle of the twentieth century and being the source of all evil itself. That is undeniably true in Arda through to the rest of the omniverse, that might be stretching it. It’s noted Melkor does understand ideas such as TheDarkSide more than most, which gives credit to his claim though it is still just a claim by all accounts. He means to use the armies of the GUAE to conquer as many realms as possible and bring all the misery [[RapePillageAndBurn he can through slavery, genocide, famine, mass rape, et cetera]]. As long as it is considered evil, Melkor will do everything in his power to make sure everyone feels the evil he spreads.
** Once faced a specific issue ''multiple'' times where the people of some realms his armies conquered [[HappinessInSlavery love all the evil he has done to them]], something both amusing and odd to Melkor. He decreed that they be put to work to help in later conquests but he could not get them to move since they did enjoy their suffering. So Melkor made the most logical move: [[CruelMercy create a utopia where all his minions are kind to them and all their needs are provided for with nothing bad ever happening]]. That got them moving to join his ranks pretty quickly. He hated doing that but seeing all their misery made him relish it in the end.
** While he purports himself as the origin of all evil in creation, he never considered the idea of evil beings before creation. Amatsu-Mikaboshi, The Lich, and Orgalorg are beings that lived in the PrimordialChaos before space-time began, so Melkor is unable to say anything about them. The only explanation he can provide is that [[ObliviouslyEvil these guys aren’t truly evil since they don’t see themselves as evil]] and this is just how most beings before creation acted. Somehow... that makes a lot more sense than it should.
* Proud of his name as Morgoth as it inspires fear and dread to those who hear it. [[EmbarrassingFirstName The name Melkor more or less reminds him of when he was an Ainur, which he utterly detests]]. For some odd reason Melkor’s birth name is regularly used even by his subordinates, [[ItAmusedMe likely because they know he dislikes reminders of his past and wants to mock him for it]]. He isn’t so bothered by it nowadays but forces anyone within earshot to address him as Morgoth. A foot to your everything is prepared whenever someone says Melkor near him.
* Almost everyone in the GUAE joined him [[EnemyMine out of necessity]] than actual loyalty to him. Even those who like how Melkor rolls are just there for their purposes. Melkor knew this when creating the Alliance, so he isn’t too surprised. However, that is not stopping him from stamping out traitors. All he asks for in the end is everyone’s cooperation when it comes to serving the overall cause. He is certain he’ll get his revenge one day once he wins by killing most of them and [[AssimilationPlot absorbing his loyalists as a reward]].
** Is aware that there are plenty in his ranks who are more deplorable than he’d like but keeps them around because they’re indispensable (hence why many of his even more treacherous and nicer members are under TeethClenchedTeamwork). He does not discriminate against anybody as long as they’re willing to commit horrendous acts towards others and can tolerate the {{Crapsack World}} the GUAE aims to build. Anybody who isn’t with him (or at least publicly with him) or doing anything that’s not evil can get out of his face.
* Sauron was once TheDragon to him long ago after Melkor had tempted him from being TheBlacksmith of the Maiar to his NumberTwo in conquest. However, after putting up with all the {{Idiot Ball}}s Melkor had, getting mocked for being beaten by a few {{Hobbits}} and seeing Melkor favor Voldemort over him for the leadership of the Pantheon/GUAEMalumMagia, Sauron had enough and joined under Darkseid, knowing he will be appreciated there. Sauron even publicly denounced Melkor, calling him a cowardly fool who he hopes will be returned to the Void to whence he belongs. [[BurningWithAnger Melkor’s rage upon hearing that was akin to millions of volcanoes erupting]], in utter disbelief that his best and most trusted general would betray him just like that after everything he had done for Sauron. Then again, [[TaughtByExperience Sauron did learn from the best when it comes to stuff like this]]. He swore Darkseid and Sauron would rue the day they dared to oppose him.
* Never met Cosmos until she was elected leader by the GUAG. If he did meet her before, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is [[MagneticHero able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds]] to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. Maybe the BadBoss reputation his entire Alliance has is what’s keeping potential recruits away.
* Formed the Four Horsemen as the guardians of the House of Villains along with three others he was especially impressed by who is willing to serve his cause. Griffith, who represents the [[FallenHero corruption of heroes]], Johan Liebert who can [[MoreThanMindControl break the will of others]], and Majin Buu for wanting to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy anyone and everything]]. Melkor gets along with Griffith and Johan well enough but he has spent fortunes on candy to keep Nekron from snagging Majin Buu from him, forcing them to share the pink powerhouse as their candy-buying spree worsens. The Ebon Dragon was once part of his Horsemen but when the Ebon Dragon was ejected from the Pantheon, Melkor replaced him and never looked back. Now that the Ebon Dragon has returned, he is pissed that he was forgotten and wants to get back at Melkor for it.
* Melkor’s influence and power directly correlate to how frequently evil is committed in one universe (hence being a Cardinal Alignment). If Melkor ended up in ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'', he’d become incredibly weak while if he ended up in a place like ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}'', he’d be akin to his prime. If Melkor were to end up in a place like the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos realm of the Elder Gods]] where [[BlueAndOrangeMorality evil and good aren’t present]] and just “is”, he’d be impotent since the idea of evil as a force does not exist there. In the Pantheon proper, he’s in the same state he was when the first Dagor Bragollach occurred, like the Pantheon’s idealistic nature is being slowly dimmed thanks to the ForeverWar escalating and the TheInternet and mass media itself becoming more cynical. Every second of the growing cynicism allows him to feed off the resulting negativity.
* An incident he does not like to be reminded of is almost getting EatenAlive by Ungoliant, which would have potentially ended him right here and then. His relationship with Ungoliant is unknown as Melkor has no influence on her in the slightest. While Ungoliant is evil in a traditional sense, it can be speculated that she was doing what all spiders do: feeding on her prey. Then again, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain killing Melkor off can hardly be called an evil action]].
* His claims to be the origin of evil conflict with Krona’s existence, in how the Mad Guardian tampered with the beginning of existence and created evil. This led to a theory that Krona triggered Melkor’s FaceHeelTurn, being the source of the music that triggered his StartOfDarkness. Krona is insulted by this; all he did was look at how everything came to be and if he did create Melkor, it was purely an accident. Melkor has provided no comment on the matter, likely out of {{Pride}}. Given the [[TimeyWimeyBall timey-wimey]] experiment Krona was doing, it might be a lot more accurate to say [[StableTimeLoop Melkor and Krona were behind each other]]. Whichever deity proposed this theory, many say they forgot that Melkor and Krona are of different multiverses and likely could not influence the rise of evil in each other's realms.
* May or may not have created Aku since the blob is MadeOfEvil. Aku would like to state that '''''[[LargeHam HE IS AKU]]''''' and the notion that he was created by someone is completely incomprehensible to him. Similarly, both the Idea of Evil and Nyarlathotep are evil incarnate but were birthed by the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters evils of man]] instead of being the source of it. Melkor has learned that if he wants to keep his allies close, he has to prey upon and appeal to their egos so they won’t make the effort to form splinter groups opposing him.
* His nature as an evil-composed being makes him vulnerable to [[GoodHurtsEvil good-based auras and attacks]], though because of his strength it requires a ''lot'' of it. This, combined with her ability [[HeelFaceBrainwashing to force compassion on others]], makes Iroque and the Indigo Light Melkor’s KryptoniteFactor. Having diffused so much of his being into evil, his physical body is weakened to the point he's a Greater God in her presence, an Intermediate God if she forces an Indigo Lantern ring on him (though his evil is too great to brainwash away) and a Demigod under the Avatar of Compassion, the Proselyte. Zordon is another problem here since the wave of good energy from his HeroicSacrifice destroyed/purified the smaller [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace United Alliance Of Evil]]. He does not want such a thing happening to his own GUA.
* One of his most infamous actions was the theft of the Silmarils, which were then in Arda the only source of everyday things like the [[MacGuffin sun and the moon]]. Nightmare Moon granted Melkor permission to take the moon and bring everlasting darkness... if he got the sun first. Melkor wants to slay Amaterasu and relive the moment that gives him so much joy, though considering Amaterasu’s strength, he questions if he’ll be able to succeed. [[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Melkor claims he wants to take the moon and the sun so that he’ll be able to take everything that seems like fun.]]
* He was able to deflect a Spirit Bomb from Son Goku in a NoodleIncident, due to being [[PureIsNotGood pure (evil)]]. His true concern over the Saiyans is if he and Vegeta [[FusionDance fuse into Gogeta]]; his signature technique of the Stardust Breaker disintegrates all evil, so Melkor would be dissolved into nothingness if that hit him.
* Many regard Melkor's backstory and portfolio as being remarkably similar to the well-known tale of Archangel Lucifer, better known as {{Satan}} or The Devil. It is believed by most that he ''is'' none other than [[SatanicArchetype the Devil himself]]. The Beast disagrees, stating that he is the true Devil and influenced Melkor. Lucifer (and many of his deified counterparts) thinks they're both full of shit.
* The Golden Spider has pissed off Melkor by claiming to be AboveGoodAndEvil. The Golden Spider reasons that he is a Creator of Life, much like Eru, who was the one who created Melkor, meaning that Melkor is below him. Understandably, this turned many heads, considering the Golden Spider called such a thing into question. [[SpidersAreScary Given his previous experience with Ungoliant, Melkor might have arachnophobia.]]
* Created the dragons of his world, so that tidbit comes in conflict with Io’s existence as the [[MonsterProgenitor progenitor of all of dragonkind]]. Io also disagrees with Melkor’s statement, stating that all of his children, even the ones Melkor made belong to him. It’s odd to see a custody battle over who can raise dragons come into play but Io is the winner since he could probably eat Melkor if he wanted to.
** Though J.R.R. Tolkien is a superior of sorts for Melkor, the Dark Enemy argues otherwise, as [[DiedDuringProduction he passed before]] his tale could be finished. Tolkien is still recognized as his superior by most, as he's still behind the tales of Middle-earth and the story was completed by his son but one day, [[RageAgainstTheAuthor he’ll crush his creator to prove that he is beyond any being and bows to no one]].
* Was '''GREATLY''' affected by how the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Great Upheaval]] went down and not in a good way. Not only was he upstaged by YHVH and Lucifer, but many of his subordinates defected to their sides and later formed their own Grand United Alliances, not to mention that the price of his Internet[[note]]Melkor learned how to use modern technology surprisingly fast[[/note]] had been raised. With his reputation as God of Evil under threat, Melkor was heard grumbling after hearing the news that "Law and Chaos are nothing compared to the merciless, annihilating power of True Evil, [[EvilerThanThou I shall teach them all that]]...''
** Swore to get back at the two for what they did to him. [[VillainousBreakdown Melkor's ranting earthquake-like voice, full of absolute malice and insanity, echoed and boomed across every House and Temple as he screamed forth a terrible vow]]: [[note]]"'''YHVH!!! LUCIFER!!! I SWEAR BEFORE THIS YEAR HAS ENDED, YOU WILL BOTH BE LYING DEAD AT MY FEET! BUT BEFORE THAT, I SHALL MAKE YOUR NAMES SYNONYMOUS WITH THE VERY WORD SUFFERING UNTIL YOU BEG ME TO END YOU! EVERYTHING YOU BUILT, I WILL TEAR DOWN! EVERYTHING PRECIOUS TO YOU, I WILL DESPOIL! I WILL TURN THE PANTHEON INTO SUCH AN ABYSS OF DEPRAVITY AND CARNAGE THAT ALL THE HELLS IN EXISTENCE WILL PALE IN COMPARISON BEFORE IT!!! YOU WILL RUE THE DAY THAT YOU EVER DARE TO INTERFERE IN MY AFFAIRS AND STEAL AWAY MY CREATIONS!!!'''"[[/note]]
** The Great Will yawned and responded: [[note]] "Foul beast of Ilúvatar. Do you not comprehend what you seek? Law and Chaos are as eternal as Good and Evil. It matters not that neither myself nor the fallen one is removed. The ideas that shape us both are woven in the hearts of ephemerals and immortals alike; others shall come, and through them, we shall be reborn, as long as the will of the universe calls upon us! Curse your blindness! Are your pride and arrogance so vast you would dare to believe you could stop a war so long, it cannot be measured in linear time, and so vast, gods have gone mad trying to grasp its scope? That we care about your petty grievances? Have you ever given thought to how many truly welcome you, in their minds and souls? How many would embrace the idea of evil as you do as their final goal? [[TheDevilIsALoser When the time comes, you will stand alone]]. Grovel and curse in silence, and let the grand war continue."[[/note]]
** Lucifer's response was ''considerably'' more succinct: [[note]][[DeadpanSnarker "Inside voices, children."]][[/note]]
* Hates, hates, '''HATES''' the Houses of Craft and Music for representing his downfall. As much as Melkor wants to create, his CreativeSterility prevents him from being the [[TheMaker Creator God]] he so desires to be. These Houses remind Melkor of these flaws and he wants to purge both so that only ''he'' can create. Melkor tried desecrating the House of Craft but ran into Destruction of the Endless before even starting, and ''[[CurbStompBattle got the tar beaten out of him]]'', [[VillainsWantMercy making the former Ainur beg for mercy]]. Destruction let him off with a warning that if he were to go after the House of Craft again or the House of Music too, he won’t hold back next time. Melkor has ceased all attempts to destroy any of these Houses until he has prepared sufficiently to counter Destruction.
* Is fearful of Superman for having [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis taken out Darkseid with music]]. He’s also completely terrified of Ghost Rider since his DeathGlare would destroy Melkor’s mind. Anyone who can likely kill him quickly is people the Great Enemy steers clear of, like the ever so [[MemeticBadass infamous Kirby]] and the [[OneHitKill one-punch killer]] himself Saitama.
* Nekron and Melkor are not so different in regards to wanting to end existence but remain enemies despite sharing many traits, as Melkor thinks that only he has the right to destroy reality while Nekron just wants to skip the whole dystopia Melkor wants and get straight to the apocalypse. This is also felt between the Anti-Monitor and Melkor in which the latter isn’t okay with being erased from existence to make way for nothingness.
* Detests the idea of being [[DracoInLeatherPants represented as a misunderstood figure]] shockingly enough as he thinks it undermines his status as the GodOfEvil as it was originally written, even though it gained him a legion of fans who think that he was wronged by Eru. While Melkor likes the idea of people thinking [[SatanIsGood Eru is a tyrant and his rebellion is a good thing]], the truth remains that after manifesting on Arda he attempted to bring an age of darkness over the world merely to spite his Maker.
* Named Dark Specter as his new second-in-command after Sauron’s defection, as Dark Specter has run a [[LegionOfDoom universe-spanning alliance]] before. Melkor sometimes even finds him more reliable than Sauron ever was and after the Demonic Legion was purged for not complying with new Pantheon rules, Dark Specter found a place by Melkor’s side. After all, Melkor managed to get him a godly title despite it being a rather embarrassing one.
* Thought Malekith and Archaon would be perfect for his Alliance but both refused viciously as the Four Chaos Gods serve under Melkor, and as everyone knows they have [[ItsPersonal some really bad beef]] with those four. Thanks to having them as part of his closest council, both {{Evil Overlord}}s are targeting the GUAE, dwindling even more of Melkor’s influence. Melkor asked why did his allies have to be [[GuiltByAssociationGag so hard to be associated with]].
* He was supposed to have a son, but that never came to be (that son was made into Gothmog, his Lord of the Balrogs). Interested in the idea of a successor, he went to where all things of WhatCouldHaveBeen go: Retconnia. He requested Malal to release his son but Malal refused, as Melkor is friends with the Chaos Gods who abandoned him there. Irked by his protests, Malal threatened to have Melkor dragged into Retconnia as well if he even thought of staging a prison break for someone Malal isn’t even sure is there. Melkor backed off but swore Malal would regret his rejection.
* ''“But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.”''

* Portfolio: [[AllLovingHero All-Loving Heroine]], EvenTheGirlsWantHer, FriendToAllLivingThings, IncorruptiblePurePureness, [[LoveRedeems Believes in Love Redeeming All]], ThePowerOfLove
* Herald: Spirit of Adoration
* Allies: Honestly, it's easier to find deities who ''aren't'' allied with her. Special mention goes to '''[[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Cayden Calien]]''', '''[[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Erastil]]''', [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Steven Universe]], [[Pantheon/InfatuationAndObsession Flonne]]
* Rivals: '''[[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Aphrodite]]''', '''[[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Calistria]]'''
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship Felix (Red vs Blue)]], [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes Penelope Mouse]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Akasha the Queen of Pain]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Dr. Frank-n-Furter]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Ato-ko Shirogane]], [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives The Child Abuse Supporters]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction the GUAD]], [[Pantheon/{{Plants}} Flowey]], House of Pantheon/HatredAndRancor
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Asmodeus]]
* Pities: [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Vincent Brooks]]
* Just as Calistria filled the role as the Goddess of Lust, the House of Love felt that they needed an equivalent for the more innocent version of such love. Aphrodite long considered herself to be the leading candidate for the roll, but she proved to be too petty to give away her [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Worlds Most Beautiful Goddess]] title, and her other title just didn't agree with the nature of the title. It ultimately went to the fifth Golarian deity to enter the Pantheon. That did not sit well with the Greek Goddess and the two have been rivals ever since. It's a one-sided affair, as Sheyln would rather have them work together.
** While she doesn't mind the type of love formed between couples, she prefers relationships not fueled solely on lust. She's more than content to hand those responsibilities to Calistra, her long-time rival, and the rest of the subhouse of Lust.
** Cayden has noted how much of a sight for sore eyes she is to him. Sheyln accepts his constant flirting, though she reminds him he would have to settle down for any long-term relationship to form.
** Is more willing than any other Golarian deity to work with Asmodeus. Asshole aside, the archdevil does have a way of keeping things under wraps. She only hopes that she can convince him to be more generous with his contracts.
* Her most supported friend is by far Flonne, Goddess of {{Love Freak}}s. Together, they hope to spread the wonders of love throughout the Pantheon. Sheyln plays the role of [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder rolling back some of Flonne's more eccentric schemes]]. Nevertheless, she is thankful for her unconditional devotion to love.
* It's hard to find a deity that is more tolerated in the Pantheon. Even the GUAE tolerate her, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes as many have romances of their own]]. The only group that truly want her destroyed is the GUAD. They fear that her domain convinces many to have a will to live.
** If there is one group of adoration that she doesn't reciprocate, it's her non-ascended core god Rovagug. The Rough Beast's definition of affection would be to trap her within its eye as she becomes the witness to the end of all realities. To say she fears its possible arrival into the Pantheon would be an {{Understatement}}.
* As seen as the opposite of love, the House of Hatred oppose her on principle. The two factions battle over passionate followers to choose one over the other. Kefka gets special mention for specifically awaiting her destruction.
* Is seen as a bringer of hope to those who had to deal with AbusiveParents as her dedication to love extends more than just romantic love. This has put her at odds with The Child Abuse Supporters in the House of Family.
* Flowey sees her antics as a complete waste of time, goading her to see if she can get him to change his ways. Sheyln may be all-loving, but was not dumb enough to fall for that trap. She does hope that the Pantheon can find a way; [[spoiler: there is hope with his true form... if only it can be maintained longer.]]
* There have been many heated arguments between her and the Queen of Pain. Much of that comes from the fact that Sheyln's brother has all but embraced the demon's philosophy. The Eternal Rose hopes that she can break through and redeem him, but Akasha has sworn to carry on manipulating Zon-Kuthon and his followers.
* Gains the approval of virtually all in the House of Friendship. Her philosophy resonates especially well with Steven Universe. The LoveGoddess was impressed with Steven's determination to see the good in all.
** There are a few exception to this case. Felix has proven to be a horrible 'friend' to all he's met and is likely to continue. Penelope Mouse isn't liked either among Sheyln's followers.
* Can only shake her head over the utter insanity of Vincent's love life. She has taken up to the challenge, trying to help him mend his relationship with his girlfriend Katherine Mc-Bride.
* Has a rather unorthodox stance on cheating on one's partners. She isn't truly opposed to them, as long as said relationship is out of true love. She hopes that said partners would eventually make it official. That doesn't mean she would let you cheat on others just for the sake up it. Those actions tend to ruin love for everyone. It's with that reason that the likes of Ato-ko and Dr. Frank-n-Furter are among the least liked among her followers.
* When it comes to [[MarryThemAll harems]], she is nonchalant towards the concept as well, just as long as you have a loving relationship with all of them. She worries more about their consent than anything else.

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Koko Hekmatyar]], [[Pantheon/ClothingTheme Gabrielle]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} The Guy]], [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Ventari]]
* Was livid once he ascended. Not just for not being ascended with the WarGod trope, which his brother [[Videogame/GodOfWar Kratos]] has, but having such a low rank. The Court's reason for the low rank was because of his constant worfing from Kratos, Hercules, Wonder Woman, Hercules, Superman, [[RuleOfThree and Hercules]]. Ares was not pleased.
** However, he can have a greater rank during times of war. It's for this sole reason why he has joined Melkor and his GUAE for a chance of an all-out war between the other Alliances.
** After having his title change and moving to the House of War, Ares was given a rank increase.
* Ares also wasn't happy when he found out that he wasn't made replacement for The Triumvirate of War but instead Alexander the Great was given that honor. He also didn't like the fact that Kratos was part of it. He was, however, ok with Apocalypse being in. It might be the fact that his world view would lead to war.
* Despite his blood lust for battle, he does have a soft spot for his children and his mother Hera. In fact, he killed Poseidon's own son when he raped his daughter. Even '''''Kratos''''', who thoroughly despises him for being the source of all of his suffering, grudgingly admits that this is the one quality of his that he can respect.
** He, however, hates his father Zeus because he considers Ares his unfavorite compare to Athena and Hercules. He still would help him, but Ares wouldn't like it.
* When Ares met with Aphrodite again, he thought they would go back to their old routine. Unfortunately for him, Aphrodite rebuked his advances. Ares didn't take it very well and thought she had eyes for someone else in the pantheon. Or, her refusal line hits a sensitive spot for him: "[[DoubleEntendre The only thing endowed is your sword!]]", which caused Ares to retort with, "What!? What's wrong with [[GagPenis my]] [[TeenyWeenie 'sword']] anyway these days!?"
* Funnily enough, despite being the father of the Amazon race, he has clashed on multiple occasion with Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazons. In fact, one of Ares' daughter is Hippolyta herself who is Diana's mother.
* When questioning about Ares and whether or not he was the God of Ponies, the Equestrian Deities could only stare in confusion.
* Since his power is directly link to war and conflict, Ares has been known to pose as a War merchant back in the mortal realm and has sold weapons to both sides of a battling country. This makes him allies with both Torchwick and Sundowner, fellow war merchants. This also made him enemy with Tony Stark who was a former weapons dealer.
* Once had a big laugh when he heard of Koko's plan of [[spoiler:ending war by disabling fighter planes. He remarks that war has been fought long before planes ever existed and humans will always find a way to fight one another]]. Because that's [[HumansAreBastards human instincts]].
* So far, the only other deity to truly worship Ares is the Spartan King, Leonidas. Ares likes him enough that he declares that Leonidas' house is his favorite (next to his own house), and he could afford being less Jerkass when being around him and his people.
* Has re-enacted his rivalry with his younger brother, Hercules. The two have a battle against each other most days. So far, Ares has lost in every match they fought.
** The same rivalry for Athena on who is the better War God was also renewed. He also made enemies with her Saints.
* Because he is the True God of War, Ares has a large arsenal of weapons from swords, maces, bows, axes and spears and can summon them [[HammerSpace out of nowhere]].
* Has lent his support to Millenium's effort to create one of the greatest war ever. Ares says they really need it since their last attempt at a war was disappointing and it was nothing more than an ok terrorist attack.
* Ares once did battle with both Kouta and Kaito. The Riders remark how much he reminds them of the Inves Overlord Demushu.
** This also made Ares acquainted with Kogane who was one of the causes of the Overlords extinction by causing them more blood thirsting. Ares was really impress with that.
* Is opposed by Archer since he is a [[spoiler:Counter-Guardian whose job is to stop conflict that that threaten history]]. The two have clashed on multiple occasions.
* Heard about the endless war between [[VideoGame/DOTA2 two Ancients]] that his father is a part of. He is trying to find a way to enter into that world, not only to increase his power but to make sure it continues to be endless. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3450S8MfemE Rumors has it that he has succeeded]].
* He's NOT pleased when they heard someone who looked like [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]] [[{{VideoGame/MUGEN}} took up his name and copied Jin while using lightning]]. Ares just took offense that this copycat ''dares'' take up his name, especially when he didn't bother to exude the qualities of a bloodthirsty WarGod like him even on looks. He's still not friends with Jin and being the guy he is, probably won't ever be.
* Had a duel with Flynn at one point; it ended with the Samurai the victor and Ares [[WorthyOpponent thoroughly impressed]].
* He made contact with [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Pantheon]] and drafted him for a personal war project that was said to be 'to fight against unknown threats to the Pantheon', giving him greater boons of power and also making him a bit more distant with his former friends. But for his deal and after learning not to make silly deals since the incident with Kratos, Ares personally had it that a new baking room is added to Pantheon's house so he can literally pursue his dream as a baker. Of course, Ares still managed to get one last message in that room: "P.S: Bake your enemies!"
* Is currently in the process of turning Xena into a weapon of war once more. It's a position Xena has fought against for years and she has no intention of going back to her evil ways. Still, Ares is one of the few Greek deities she is in good favor with, and the two do sometimes team up. Still, Gabrielle is usually not far behind to give her support. That has put her in his crosshair as he plots to remove her from the Pantheon.
* He actually has two personas, his Greek persona Ares and his Roman persona Mars. The two of them, despite both being War Gods, are ''drastically'' different in terms of personality. As Mars, he is much more mature, dignified, and does not believe in endless and meaningless bloodshed. As a result, he is a much more respectable figure who actually averts the trope for which he has been deified, and is disgusted by many of the bloodthirsty and savage allies that he supports as Ares. Unfortunately, the malevolent Ares persona is the predominant one in the Pantheon.
* Has it in for [[Pantheon/VillainousCounterparts Batman the Merciless]] for doing the exact same thing Kratos did.
* Has nothing but hatred towards Altera who not only defeated him and the other Olympian Gods in one universe, but also taking his sword as a prize. He also hates that she is able to trick him into using his power everytime she uses her "Teardrop Photon Ray".
* Has found himself amused at the Rated-R Superstar, enough that he's asked Edge to be [[Series/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians2023 a vessel for his power]].
* ''"No mercy!"''

* Pities: [[Pantheon/TragedyAndDespair The Groke]] (Demeter), [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Grimm]] (Persephone)
* Wary of: [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Shub-Niggurath]] (both of them)
* Within Myth/ClassicalMythology there are two major deities associated with fertility, and they are mother and daughter; Demeter and Persephone. One of Cronus' children, Demeter is a goddess of agriculture and the harvest. Her daughter Persephone is the goddess of the spring, and vegetation, however she also has double duty as the goddess of the underworld and Hades' queen. This contradictory nature is maintained by her being with her mother in spring and summer, and with Hades during fall and winter. These weather patterns are [[FisherKing based on Demeter's mood]]; she does her job when her beloved daughter is with her, but when they're apart she is upset and doesn't do her job. "De-meter" means "Earth Mother", for those wondering.
* Applies to both
** Originally Persephone had ascended on her own, seeking to reunite with her beloved husband and [[DefiedTrope not]] [[HappilyMarried actually]] CreepyUncle Hades. Despite having first met her through abducting her, and her falling under the AbductionIsLove trope, by all accounts Hades is a loyal and loving husband [[FairForItsDay which is more than can be said for many of his relatives]]. Having had enough over millennia of not seeing her every winter, Demeter threatened to send the Trope Pantheon into EndlessWinter if she was not allowed to share pantheonic godhood with her daughter. Her wish was granted after it was found mother and daughter fell under the FertilityGod role, to both Persephone's pleasure [[MyBelovedSmother and frustration]].
*** Later on it was concluded [[AlwaysABiggerFish there were gods more than capable of shutting Demeter up]], and the pantheon court reacted rashly. However despite the conflict beween Hades and Demeter, he concluded Persephone was happier in the pantheon [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and that was worth her mother's nagging]].
** Being from [[BigScrewedUpFamily the Olympian dynasty]] left the two in a mess of complicated family dynamics and views on their blood. And they weren't surprised to learn [[CrossoverCosmology other literal gods]] often dealt with their share of dysfunctions. Mother and daughter are in agreement that Cronus can go back to [[Pantheon/{{Wardening}} Tartarus]] [[EatsBabies for obvious reasons]], [[KillTheGod Kratos]] should be nailed down there with him. On the exact opposite end, Hestia proves the one goddess who can get the two and Hades in the same room without bickering.
*** Demeter and Zeus have been lovers in the past, given he is Persephone's father, and while she sometimes eyerolls at his JerkassGods ventures [[AmicableExes they're on good terms]]. However she really doesn't get along with her other brother Poseidon. She may dislike Hades for his relationship with her daughter, but she ''hates'' Poseidon for forcing himself on her while she mourned her daughter not being around[[note]]that said, in some myths [[AdaptationalConsent they have had more consensual relationships]][[/note]]. She has a hard time believing [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians he's changed]] and remains frosty at best with him. As for Persephone and Zeus, she's usually a DaddysGirl or at least neutral to him, but in the Orphic tradition Zeus [[BedTrick posed as Hades to sleep with her]]. Needless to say Persephone is '''outraged''' and if Zeus ever tries that again she's sworn [[GroinAttack to repeat what happened to his grandfather]]. Zeus has attempted to justify the whole incident by explaining Orphic tradition saw him and Hades as the same god [[DeityIdentityConfusion so they may have conflated his and Hades' actions with one another]].
*** Said Orphic tradition has the obscure deities Zagreus and Melinoe come to be. Seeing as how the Trope Pantheon's Zagreus is Hades' son, [[ParentalIncest Zeus' "actions"]] aren't canon to the pantheon, [[DiscontinuityNod but it still makes Persephone shudder]]. Persephone and her son Zagreus' relationship is strained to an extent, and not getting into too much of a tangent he spent some time believing [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Nyx]] was his biological mother. One of Nyx's children, Thanatos, is naturally allied with Persephone because of his role as an embodiment of death and her role as Queen of the Underworld.
*** According to Orphic tradition Demeter wanted Apollo to be with Persephone instead. While [[DependingOnTheWriter he is usually]] a good catch, Persephone [[Webcomic/LoreOlympus has recently come to have]]...[[{{Understatement}} mixed feelings]] on Apollo. Why is that? [[spoiler:Because in one timeline, ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil he raped her]]'', and this was a timeline [[AdaptationalNiceGuy where most gods actually valued consent]].]] Most of the collective [[CompositeCharacter that makes up Apollo]] has apologized profusely for this, especially the [[Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo Camp Half-Blood incarnation]], [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten she refuses to let him forget it]]. The "Lore Olympus" timeline has led Hera [[AdaptationalNiceGirl to be more empathetic to Persephone]]. Interestingly Hera doesn't have it out for Demeter [[WomanScorned despite her reputation]], though mainly because she wasn't married to Zeus at the time.
*** Outside their pantheon, Persephone ended up bonding with Ostara after she overhead the Greek goddess bemoaning [[EverybodyHatesHades her husband's reputation]]. Having [[HijackedByJesus be misinterpreted by Christianity]] and also being a spring goddess, they made good friends. Demeter agrees with her daughter that YHVH should be frozen solid for His oppression to other gods, but neither of them have any hard feelings to other incarnations of {{God}}. [[{{Satan}} As for his opposite]], the Satan from South Park has an OddFriendship with the two as he sympathizes with Demeter's desire to see her daughter in the Underworld and respects Persephone's handling of divine responsibility.
*** Worth noting [[VideoGame/{{Hades}} that]] [[Webcomic/LoreOlympus sometimes]] [[UnrelatedInTheAdaptation Zeus isn't Demeter's brother and Persephone's dad]]. People snarked that Hades approved so people stop labeling him as a CreepyUncle. It's also possible that in early myths they may have a deeper connection to Poseidon. Looking over their early myths, Demeter found she has some things in common with Hathor; they're both fertility deities, but she's a lot more extroverted ([[HardDrinkingPartyGirl and fun]]). [[ObnoxiousInLaws Well, those were Hades' words]]. Demeter and Persephone enjoy girls' night out with her, but they really aren't comfortable with [[SplitPersonality her Sekhment side]]. While Demeter is a grim goddess when Persephone is separated from her, [[EveryoneHasStandards Sekhment is]] [[AxCrazy batshit]] [[BloodKnight crazy]].
** For those asking, never mention the Kid Icarus Hades around either of them. Demeter has an ax to grind with her son-in-law but even at his most dickish he's a saint [[CompleteMonster compared to THAT Hades]]. Persephone is disgusted someone so terrible is going around with her husband's identity. Mother and daughter wholeheartedly support Palutena and Kid Icarus's efforts to take him down. It is worth noting that there was one time where Persephone and Hades fell out, [[VideoGame/GodOfWarChainsOfOlympus and it was pretty big]]: she was so disillusioned by everything she became an OmnicidalManiac and tried to get Atlas to help her. While she hates Kratos for the rest of his actions against her family, now that she's calmed down she doesn't blame him for killing her.
** Naturally neither of them like the GUAD; wiping everything out is antithetical to a FertilityGod and a best case scenario for a Nekron victory is no-one left to enter the Underworld. When it was pointed out Persephone had a GUAD moment, she replied "[[OldShame yeah, and it's even more reason to hate them]]", and she really doesn't want to be reminded of the incident. Next to Nekron, the Lich is probably their second biggest foe from the GUAD, especially due to recent events where he tried to destroy the cycle of reincarnation; the Lich wants to kill Demeter in order to bring about an EndlessWinter to make wiping out all life on Earth easier. His rebooted self Sweet P had a far more innocent interest in the [[FertilityGod fertility goddesses]] as he wants help at keeping his evil past/Farmworld incarnation at bay.
** Her mother doesn't have as big of a shame she wants to her repress, but "absently eating the shoulder of a meal [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies that was actually the host's]] [[OffingTheOffspring son or grandson]]" is certainly shameful. In case you're wondering they revived the kid but he needed a prosthesis shoulder, [[DraggedOffToHell and off to Tartarus his dad went]]. So she stays away from the Hall of Flesh Eaters because of bad memories. As for the rest of the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} Demeter and Persephone aren't just fine with it, they're supporters; as [[FertilityGod fertility goddesses]], they have an important role in the development of the house's crops. They're allies with Princess Sakuna due to her being a harvest deity.
** Due to their role as fertility deities Demeter and Persephone are protectors of the House of Pantheon/{{Plants}}, at least when it's not fall or winter given the latter's dynamic with Hades. Persephone is particularly fond of the Spring Sprite, what with being the goddess of spring and all. Both hold an amicable relationship with Shishigami, the Great Forest Spirit, though Demeter still likes the Spring Sprite almost as much as her daughter. Despite her ecoterrorism both tend to be fine to an extent with Poison Ivy, just as long as she behaves in their presence. And as a winter spirit, the two are in contact with Jack Frost. He later introduced mother and daughter to the Guardians of the Holidays, and as the holidays they represent have seasons play a big part in it they keep in contact with the deities.
** The two tend to keep their distance from the Hall of Pantheon/TaintedLove since it's a downer compared to Persephone being HappilyMarried. They don't have much respect for Hans being an opportunistic little schemer looking for marriage; much as Demeter hates it and the controversial way it happened, Hades is a good husband. Demeter and Persephone are more divided on the Halls [[Pantheon/LustfulActs of]] [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Lust]]-the latter and Hades sometimes blush going there for advice at spicing up the bedroom, while the former thinks they're being prudish and believes [[DoYouWantToCopulate sex and love have nothing to do with each other]]. It's why she doesn't think she was insulting Hera when she was sleeping with Zeus. Since they aren't doing so now Hera isn't mad at her persay, but she is still annoyed.
** Demeter and Hades only get along rarely, and one of those rare occasions is opposing Kronika. Her being [[OurTitansAreDifferent a Titan]] is bad enough, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist but in spite of what she says]] Kronika is a temporal tyrant at least as bad as their hatred father Cronus. Kronika's daughter Cetrion, due to being a nature and plant goddess, [[AffablyEvil likes Demeter and Persephone to a degree]] but she wants to supplant them as a nature goddess [[DaddysGirl and loyalty to her mother]]. Persephone actually pities her on some level as her mother is far more smothering [[AbusiveParents and emotionally abusive]] to her, [[AntiVillain and if it weren't for her influence Cetrion]] [[HeelFaceTurn could've become her friend]]. Demeter worries about these thoughts since she's afraid her daughter is projecting some criticism of her. For her flaws Demeter truly loves her daughter and she fears [[ShadowArchetype she could become like Kronika]] under the wrong situation.
** Don't ask them how [[JustSoStory their origin story for seasons]] is supposed to work with the existence of the southern hemisphere. She'll just point to Gaea to be bothered by those questions instead. Since Demeter has a similar if smaller role to Gaea, they sometimes talk with each other. Also, a fun fact is that Demeter [[UsefulNotes/DwarfPlanets has a dwarf planet]] named after her Roman name, Ceres. You can find it in the asteroid belt. Originally it was an asteroid, but upgraded around the same time [[Pantheon/AstronomicalBodies Pluto, Hades' Roman namesake]] was demoted from a full planet. [[ObnoxiousInLaws Naturally she's super-smug about it whenever Hades is in earshot]].
** [[BerserkButton Do not bring up how Nurgle is]] a [[FertilityGod fertility deity]] in earshot of Demeter and Persephone. While technically true, [[{{Plaguemaster}} it's only in the worst way possible]] and even Olympians start vomiting after spending more than 5 minutes with the Great Unclean One. [[AffablyEvil Nurgle finds this a shame]] and [[ShipperOnDeck he thinks Persephone and Hades are adorable together]]. Demeter will begrudgingly admit that Shub-Niggurath is a fertility deity, but is honestly kind of scared by [[EldritchAbomination them]]. Feel free to mention Te Fiti's similarities to her and her daughter though, as they tend to be chill with one another [[spoiler:as long as the latter's heart is intact]]. The two also like Chaac and the HappyRain he brings. Persephone respects his sense of responsibility and [[spoiler:desire to atone for sleeping with his brother's wife]].
* Applies to Demeter
** As mentioned, fall and later winter is caused by Demeter not wanting to do her job while her daughter is with Hades. Zamasu, [[{{Hypocrite}} of all people]], called her out for a dereliction of duty. [[HatedByAll Like pretty much everyone]] Demeter didn't want to hear it, [[FateWorseThanDeath cursing him with eternal hunger]] and yelling at him for being everything a Kaioshin '''shouldn't be'''. It's worth noting that though she's a temperamental [[FisherKing Fisher Queen]] she doesn't want to cause a true EndlessWinter like Jadis or the Night's King. She's not an OmnicidalManiac like the latter, and she isn't in it because DespotismJustifiesTheMeans like the former. And given how the world has become used to her "seasonal mood-swings", her keeping up her seasonal schedule is probably for the best.
** As a fertility and nature goddess, Demeter doesn't mind people eating meat and hunting animals, and agrees with Speckles that PredationIsNatural. [[NatureIsNotNice However she also doesn't mind, for example, hunters being chased and eaten by wolves]]. She doesn't play favorites in the House of Beasts and Fauna, though she did feel [[Pantheon/AnimalBehavior the Zoosters]] were a tiny bit naive. With the humans there liking for Steve Irwin due to his involvement with a variety of animals, even when many are considered dangerous. Given her view on interaction with animals and hunting, she and Hircine occasionally like to converse with one another, though if he wants an expert on hunting he should call Artemis.
** For the love of Zeus, ''do not anger her''. Even he was powerless to convince her to stop rampage in searching for Persephone until she got to see her again, almost freezing Greece. She's an undeniable MamaBear, though some have accused her [[MyBelovedSmother of being too much of one]]. However she's a caring mother and abusive mothers like Lady Tremaine and ''especially'' Ragyo Kiryuin can expect her to get along with Hades for the sole purpose of devising a special torment in Tartarus for them. Also, while she doesn't go out of her way to torment "Uncle Charlie" she is prone to causing him problems for being a CreepyUncle, [[RevengeByProxy if only to vent about Hades and Persephone's relationship]]. [[TheSociopath Given what he's like]], [[AssholeVictim he kind of deserves it]]. Her wrath isn't just for those that directly piss her off, but [[GaiasVengeance those who would ruin nature]]. Mr Burns and Hexxus are deplorable polluters, so they have to go. Battra naturally gravitated to her.
** Demeter really likes Chi-Chi's attitude and her dedication as a mother. Of course, any good and loving mother is usually a positive for her. Kitty Forman and Sophitia Alexandra are friends of hers for similar reasons, just as long as the former doesn't cook pomegranates. She's protective to Selma as due to Persephone's absence in fall/winter, she sympathizes with her struggles as a mother. On fathers, she and Highfather have recently formed a friendship with one another [[ASharedSuffering due to similar past tragedy]]. As her daughter was kidnapped ([[AdaptationalConsent or secretly eloped in later tales]]), she feels really bad for an over-all responsible deity having to give up their child to his ArchEnemy for an EnforcedColdWar...one that was temporary as Darkseid was biding his time until he could win without a PyrrhicVictory ([[ComicBook/FinalCrisis and that still happened]]). Out of sympathy, she will help out Highfather's biological and adoptive sons.
** Hades and Demeter are able to get along in their hatred of Darkseid, [[EveryoneHasStandards since even for a god]] [[GodOfEvil his actions are appalling]]. And Hades is many things, but he certainly isn't abusive like [[AbusiveParents Darkseid]]. [[UnknownRival This contempt is mostly one-sided]] as the Lord of Apokolips merely seems them like almost every god; in the way [[MultiversalConqueror of his conquest of everything]]. Something the former didn't get at first is how Demeter feels sorry for the Groke despite being [[WalkingWasteland a destructive force]], which led to her snaring at the god of the underworld. Demeter causes winter out of sadness for her daughter being away from her, and the Groke is a cryokinetic who's own icy nature denies her warmth and companionship. Given how their powers work, Demeter is only able to offer the Groke a couch to sit on in already cold winter.
** YHVH and Zeus' previously established dynamic with Demeter has been thrown into question with some recent events. Despite normally opposing the oppressive YHVH, her issues with Zeus [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney led her to side with Him]]...or more specifically His female aspect/equivalent Shekhinah. Initially she dimissed this sudden turn as the consequence [[CrossoverCosmology of so many mythologies sharing a reality]], however it might've been [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder because of recent drama in the Nasuverse]]. A version of Zeus turned (more) megalomaniacal and when Demeter wanted to protect humanity he brainwashed her and forced her into OffingTheOffspring. [[SanitySlippage She didn't take this well]]. Fortunately most incarnations of Zeus aren't ''that'' tyrannical.
* Applies to Persephone
** Persephone is just as feared as Hades, but while he is often seen with contempt to the point [[EverybodyHatesHades of being vilified]] she is regarded as a just ruler. When derided for letting Alcestis goes from the Underworld, Persephone retorted that whoever she deems worthy to return to the land of the living is none of their business. However while she can be merciful, she isn't much softer than her husband and agrees with Dhuum [[DeathIsCheap cheating death]] is bad. [[EveryoneHasStandards However she isn't against the pantheon's rules regarding death like him]], since they're actual established rules...but don't expect them to hold up in ''her'' underworld. [[VideoGame/{{Skylanders}} More recently she's been using her time away from Hades]] to incarnate as a fairy that acts as a [[SkillScoresAndPerks skill tree]] for the Skylanders.
** She gets along with a number of death gods or death embodiments besides her husband and Thanatos, as between her and Hades Persephone fits the PerkyGoth role more often. Death of the Endless is an obvious friend, as they're both [[PerkyGoth perky goths]]. Another friend of hers is Ereshkigal, another goddess of the underworld. Something important to remember about Persephone is that while [[BewareTheNiceOnes you never want to provoke her wrath]], she's a compassionate and fair goddess to dead souls unless [[PayEvilUntoEvil they really messed up]]. It's why she's disgusted by Ah Puch due to his torture and abuse of the dead. And don't even get her started on AM, [[FateWorseThanDeath who tries to deny people entrance to Hades]] [[AndIMustScream to inflict his own Tartarus on him]]...all for the crimes of the people that built him [[CreativeSterility the way]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood he is]].
** Feels kind of bad for Grimm as he's a death entity [[DeathIsALoser who was hoodwinked and humiliated by two kids]]. That said, he got himself in that position due to his hubris so he's not exactly innocent. Her concern for him mainly relates to the time [[ManipulativeBastard Sisyphus scammed Thanatos into being stuck in a box]] [[DeathTakesAHoliday and screwing over the natural order]]...along with other criminal activities, which led to him moving a boulder up a hill in Tartarus forever. As an act of consolidation she's promised Grimm she'll work out a deal that if he can ever find a loophole to get out of being [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Billy]] and [[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes Mandy's]] "friend" she'll have a special IronicHell set up in Tartarus for them. When Grimm pointed out [[HorrifyingTheHorror he's not the only chthonic being Mandy has frightened into some compliance]], Persephone smirked and said "[[BadassBoast you think I don't know how to frighten her?]]"
** Though Hades adores her almost to the point of SingleTargetSexuality, [[NotSoAboveItAll he does have children outside his marriage]]; she still has an awkward relationship with her step-son Nico[[note]]one time she turned him into a dandelion[[/note]], and her step-daughter Hazel. In Hades' defense [[AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder these trysts were while she was away from him]], so he's not some shameless adulterer like his brothers. Still [[BerserkButton never try to seduce her husband while she's the queen]]; she turned Minthe into a plant because of it. Aphrodite will always give some scathing remark when Persephone does this because she despises him for not letting her lover Adonis leave the afterlife, and turning him into an anemone. Persephone herself did have feelings for Adonis, but Zeus stepped in before things went too far[[note]]not because he cared about faithfulness, just because he wanted the two to stop fighting[[/note]].
** As she has one of the strongest marriages of her family, she is well-respected in the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection and in turn respects loving married couples. When out of the underworld, she tends to go by Kore. Doesn't stop people from calling her Persephone though, which she's come to accept because it's familiar. She's naturally quite fond of Rhaegar and Lyanna, as their "[[AbductionIsLove elopement]]" is very similar to how she and Hades came together. Now that she's OlderAndWiser, however, she isn't going to be above criticizing them for the backlash that caused. [[HypocrisyNod Again, she knows what she's saying]], but as her story ended well she wouldn't change it. She and Hades have a mutual respect with the GodCouple of La Muerte and Xibala, who are fellow chthonic deities.
** Like her husband Persephone is royalty, as she is the Queen of the underworld. Being more reasonable[[note]]read: less prone to [[EverybodyHatesHades villification]][[/note]] than her husband she naturally gets along with the good and competent members of the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} like Aragon, however can't just send them to the Elysian Fields after they die because she likes them....except Princess Bubblegum, because [[Pantheon/FearsomeArchetypes Peppermint Butler]] was already pals with Hades and convinced him to do it. On the flip side she's not just going to send royals to Tartarus because she hates them; she needs to judge with Hades if their sins are truly damnable. Emperor Mateus is somewhat of an outlier as ignoring [[CompleteMonster he's done plenty to deserve Tartarus]], he needs to be watched over [[HellHasNewManagement so he doesn't try to take over the place]].
** Persephone knows how her mother can be an [[ObnoxiousInLaws obnoxious in-law]] to her husband, which is why she doesn't care for Carter Pewterschmidt [[JerkassHasAPoint despite making a good argument against Peter]]. However as he's pretty much irrelevant in the grand scheme of things she finds him an annoyance. She's more frustrated by Voldemort, as [[EvilCannotComprehendGood his complete inability to understand love]] combined with his desperate MortalityPhobia leads him to be a walking insult against her overall job when with Hades. Given [[ImmortalityImmorality the lengths of which he's gone to in order to survive]] she asked Hades what punishment in Tartarus they should give him, only for him to decline by saying "my dear, [[spoiler:I can't think of anything [[AndIMustScream worse than what already awaits him]] ]]. Let's not bother ourselves with that wretched soul".

* Loathes Deadpool so much... in fact, wants to kick his butt once and for all.
* He [[BerserkButton REALLY]] doesn't like it when people bring up [[OldShame that one time when]] he gave birth to a horse after transforming into a mare. Same goes for that time he became pregnant with the first trolls after eating a heart. And that time he tied a rope to a goat and his... well... [[GroinAttack you know]].
* He has learned not to insult [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] ''no matter the situation''. [[Film/TheAvengers2012 That time]] [[ShutUpHannibal he got interrupted mid-sentence with a]] MetronomicManMashing [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and being called "Puny God"]] still bears him a big embarrassment.
* He also occasionally [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} took the form of a frail-looking old man with two knives with a knack of going invisible and backstabbing people]]. Not exactly as powerful as his other form, but Loki enjoys catching people by surprise with this.
** But, perhaps after listening to his followers, Loki decided to ditch the frail-old-man facade and go back to his more regal, [[http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/smite.gamepedia.com/e/e3/T_Loki_Default_Card.png traditionally Nordic]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWXQtRxsKvs appearance]] to show the other gods he means business.
* At one point, he [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne started drinking heavily]], to the point that he sold a key he was supposed to guard just to get more booze money. Understandably, he would prefer to not bring that up anytime soon. He does[[spoiler:n't]] take pride for being [[Literature/DigitalDevilStory the original]] BigBad of the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' franchise, though.
** And eventually, for shit and giggles, he tricked [[spoiler:Robin Hood]] to step aside and became the secret, hidden Persona of [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Persona 5}} Goro Akechi]]]]. Whether it's because [[spoiler:Loki feels like taking a piece of Masayoshi Shido or purely for lulz]], we will never know.
* There was also one time when he was punished to [[Manga/MythicalDetectiveLokiRagnarok take the form of a young boy]] and took a role of a detective to gather the evil in men's hearts. He might not want to talk about this for various reasons.
** He also doesn't like to talk about a time when he was [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon portrayed as a woman]]. Maybe not because of the woman part, [[GenderBender he is no better on normal basics]], but because she is maybe too nice normally to his liking.
** Also, don't remind him the time when he had his [[PhysicalGod godlike form]] in [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD an alternate universe]] get squashed to an omelet by an ultra-enlarged Mjolnir wielded by Issei Hyodo. Maybe it's because he can't withstand losing against a mere devil who is also a huge pervert. It has gotten to the point that, purely for payback, Loki has taken interest into brainwashing Issei's girlfriend, [[Pantheon/BodyImages Rias Gremory]]. [[spoiler:And that ended up being foiled by her and Issei's future kid]].
* He is sometimes [[Series/{{Supernatural}} confused for]] ArchangelGabriel. He has no idea why, though.
* Claims he is not a member of the Pantheon/CouncilOfShadows. No one believes him.
* Has taken to calling himself the "God of Stories", which Dream of the Endless finds amusing at best, though admits he prefers him to some of the other attempts to replace him.
* Despite Thor being his archfoe, deep down, he still loves and cares about his adoptive brother. However, Loki's somewhat messed-up state keeps him from being able to fully show it in between that and his trickery. However, hurting Thor is a reliable way to get on the trickster god's bad side.
* Dead set on not forgiving Thanos for that one time [[spoiler:[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar he strangled him to death]]]].
* Apparently was the figure known as D.B. Cooper, who escaped out of a plane with a briefcase of money and was never located. When pressed over the truth, Loki mutters something about losing a bet to Thor.

* '''VERY''' wary of: [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]]
* By extension, Thor is Fate's senpai and is very much respected by her (and her followers too). Thor honors Fate's prowess and dedication, and thus condemns Precia Testarossa for her abuses to Fate...
** At least until her HeroicSacrifice to protect Fate against Ghetsis. After swearing to redirect the condemnation to Ghetsis, in the arranged burial ceremony for Precia, Thor personally made a speech which contains his personal hopes that she finds peace in the 'afterlife of Pantheon'
** The GUAL targeting Fate's friends [[spoiler: provoked Thor to join the Pantheonic Rebellion in the Defense front]].
* Formerly the position was prepared for [[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden]], but Thor got the position after at one point Raiden executes what is equal to saying this to his to-be followers: [[NeutralFemale "Don't worry. I'll bravely watch you DIE from the sidelines!"]]
** He later agreed to face Raiden in [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Mortal Kombat]] to see if he was really worthy of his position. While Raiden put up a decent fight, a blow from Thor's hammer obliterated the entire lower half of his body. Whatever was left of Raiden was hurled into the sun.
** Though once he learned [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 one genuine problem Raiden has been suffering lately]], Thor felt pity for him, so he brought what was left of Raiden to the House of Life and Death to revive him and sent him to The Fallen afterwards to await redemption.
** [[spoiler:Is pleased that Raiden is on the path of redemption upon learning that [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX he has done much better than he had previously]] and that he wasn't ''entirely'' responsible for what happened in his world. But then, learning that he transformed into Dark Raiden means that Thor will also give him an extra warning not to cross over the line, or he'll take action. ''Again''. Raiden, for his part, simply told the current Thunder God that if they do come to blows, the result ''won't'' be like last time]].
* It is customary to quote ''[[ComicBook/SecretInvasion "My God has a hammer!"]]'' to identify Thor (especially to differentiate him and Fate). Though that's no longer necessary since she's moved to the sub-house of Pantheon/MagicArchetypes.
* Currently had an uneasy tension with Iron Man after his actions of building a ''nefarious'' clone of him. However, as time passed and Tony repents, Thor also lets down and try to fix their relationship, finalized at around April 2010.
* Is VERY MUCH respected by all heroic gods in the pantheon, and has allies in pretty much every house on it. He also hangs out a lot at the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare looking for epic fights that will be made songs of. He's also always willing to serve as an enforcer for the House of Pantheon/{{Justice}}, as his good friend [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] is there.
** Whatever you do, do ''not'' ask him to put his hammer down. The last time that happened, it made contact with Captain America's Vibranium shield and decimated the House of Nature with one solid swoop. It took the House of Craft and the House of Heroes a whole day to fix it.
* The presence of Freya made Thor aware of [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} the Battlefield of the Gods]] and he apologized for rarely being present there, saying that there are many evildoers in the mortal realm that he has to defeat. The good thing is, he gets to keep Loki at bay here because he's kinda [[GameBreaker broken]] [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} over there]], something that Freya is very thankful at.
** When he does have free time, he does get over there. And he's also surprised to see Amaterasu there in a woman guise, instead of [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} a dog]] that [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 he used to fight in a clash between two worlds]].
* When he first heard of [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Odin's]] ascension, Thor believed it to be his father, [[ComicBook/{{TheMightyThor}} Odin Borson]] but upon encountering said Odin he found that the swordsman was not his father. Thor took up arms against Odin, perceiving an insult to the Allfather's name. As is often the case when Thor takes to arms, the battle was climatic and worthy of retelling. As they struggled against one another, Mjölnir and Zantetsuken clashed so fiercely it threatened to level a wing in the House of Nature. Exhausted and finding mutual respect, the gods chose to part ways. Though never calling the other friend, it was clear an unspoken bond was forged.
* Recently Thor came upon a curious world when he sensed that someone besides himself had used Mjölnir's power. Upon further investigation, he learnt that a [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/avenging-40k-avengers-fusion.231663/ Space Wolf by the name of Magni was deemed worthy by Mjölnir to be its wielder sometime after the local Thor died during Ragnarok]].
** Afterwards Thor encountered Leman Russ and after a typical Fenrisian challenge of food, beer and fighting, the two hit of wonderfully. Russ even went as far as to say that Thor would have been a better brother than his archenemy [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Magnus the Red]].
** Speaking of worth, while it [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield only allows itself to be carried by someone it deems worthy]][[labelnote:list of worthy warriors (aside from Thor and Odin)]][[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Captain America]], [[Pantheon/{{Weather}} Storm]], [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Wonder Woman]], Spider-Man 2099, Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Puddlegulp the Frog, [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]] (after granted permission), [[Film/{{Thor}} a random paramedic]], [[ComicBook/PowerPack Zero Gee]], [[spoiler:Jane Foster]][[/labelnote]], Mjölnir can still be manipulated like an ordinary hammer of its size as long as it's not held. (e.g. an elevator can still lift itself with the hammer inside it, and those who can carry it without holding it like [[Pantheon/StarWars Force-users]], [[MindOverMatter other telekinetics]], or ferrokinetics like [[Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals Magneto]], but it'll weigh down as soon as it reaches an unworthy person's physical grasp).
* [[FlipFlopOfGod He seems to have a hard time deciding if he should grow a beard or not]]. And even then he can't decide if he should keep it red or blond.
* [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Heed his words, evildoers!]] [[TemptingFate If thou dost wish to challenge the Odinson]], [[CurbStompBattle thou will face the divine power of MIGHTY MJOLNIR!]] '''[[{{Determinator}} NEVER SHALL THE GOD OF THUNDER RELENT!!!]]'''
* [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI Do not remind him of the time he was brainwashed and was forced to work under YHVH]].
** Because of this, he has found a WorthyOpponent called the [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Demi-fiend]]. [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne He lost]]]].
** He also had [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Flynn]] [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV help out Odin while he was suffering from amnesia]].
* Heard about a female 'Valkerie' who also wields a mighty hammer and loves the [[BloodKnight thrill of battles]]. Thor found that person in Nora Valkyrie, in which he was impressed with her battle skills. He actually took her under his wing to train her.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_xFOmYxKYw Thor and Zeus]] decided [[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory to rap against each other]] to see which thunder god is mightier. [[spoiler:It was decided Thor won. Zeus wasn't too happy about that]].
* Being an explorer of worlds (or "Realms", as he often calls them), has gotten along with Captain Kirk, who even thinks Thor looks like [[Creator/ChrisHemsworth his father]].
* Originally, Thor was furious when he discovered that [[spoiler:Kratos had killed Baldur, Magni and Modi, who are the brothers and sons of his alternate self. In addition to the fact that Kratos and his son Atreus may be responsible for unleashing Ragnarok in that timeline, he made plans to attack them both out of vengeance and to prevent them from doing any more damage. However, after finding out more details, he was horrified to discover that the alternate counterparts of the Aesir that Kratos was fighting were mostly arrogant, genocidal, and all-around despicable assholes who ruined countless lives and unjustifiably slaughtered the Jotuns, who were apparently much more peaceful in that timeline. In particular, while Thor was at first disgusted by his alternate self, who was seemingly a vicious, savage brute who seems to have none of Thor's own positive qualities while amplifying his negative ones; he has since learnt that Thor himself was not responsible for many of those negative qualities, that the alternate Thor ''was not happy'' at what he has become, and that the alternate Thor is very clearly trying to better himself for his family. Thor's disgust has since been transferred to the alternate Odin, who was a knowledge-hungry ManipulativeBastard and ControlFreak- very much unlike his own Odin who, while flawed, was ultimately a good guy- that was responsible for his alternate self's trauma, alcoholism and self-loathing, and whose machinations were responsible for many of that particular Aesir's worse qualities. This spurred him to abandon his plans to attack both of them]].
** He ''is'', however, taking steps to ensure that [[spoiler: Loki stays away from Atreus once he discovered that Atreus may very well be an incarnation of Loki. He does ''not'' need his brother trying to mold Atreus in his image.]]
* After [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar failing to stop Thanos from wiping out half of all life with a snap of the Infinity Gauntlet]]... [[spoiler: [[Film/AvengersEndgame Thor spent five years of depression]] as an overweight [[{{Hikikomori}} video game addict and shut in]] who inhales junk-food and drinks beer like water, only leaving his cabin to get more beer]]. During this time he became friends online with one [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]], whom he found a kindred-spirit as a fellow [[spoiler:video game and Television addict]]. They regularly spend Fridays [[spoiler:playing VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} together]] in exchange for Thor letting Konata use him as click-bait for her Facebook and Twitter account.
** He also befriended ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' while trying out an antiquated online game called VideoGame/{{Everquest}}, and has gradually picked up the Nerd's "delightful" habit of shockingly-vulgar insults; though the Nerd for his part thinks that "rip off your arms and shove them up your butt" is '''much''' too tame and polite.
* Thor has begun seeking parental advice from the [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Kirito and Asuna]], as similar to their adoption of Yui, he has recently [[Film/ThorLoveAndThunder taken Love Gorrsdottir, a supernatural child ''far'' more powerful than he as his niece as a gestrue of forgiveness to her dying father Gorr the God Butcher.]] Asuna forbidding beer-drinking in her Log House notwithstanding, Thor thoroughly enjoys his visits to the Kirigaya-household as her kind grace and gentle dignity reminds him of his own mother's, not to mention being able to confide stories both joyful and tragic about ''his'' adoptive-brothre Loki with Kirito, who shares the similar pain of losing a blood brother in Eugeo. The trio of warriors, however, must frequently drop their notepads and teacups to stop the mischievous Love from being a bad-influence on the normally well-behaved Yui, causing the two godlings to act out and cause ''considerable'' damage to the normally-tranquil forrests of Aincrad Level 22 during their now frequent childish bouts of "play fighting."

* A jotunn who is the goddess of winter, bowhunting, mountains, and skiing. Enraged by the death of her father, Thiazi, she planned to take down all of the Aesir as they are all responsible of his father. She and the Aesir instead reach a compromise and to reconcile. The first one is to make her laugh, which Loki managed to succeed in doing so, which lets Odin's take Thiazi's eyes to the sky to turn into stars, which pleases her. The second is letting her choose a husband among them, but only by looking at her feet. Wanting to marry Baldr, she failed as she accidentally choose Njord, which also makes her the step-mother of Freya and Freyr. Their living conditions eventually led them to lie an awful wedded life, which causes them to separate and return to their lives.
* The reason why she ascended is because of this. Her domains like winter, bowhunting, and mountains are very understandable, but skiing? It is one of the weirdest things thst you think would inhabit by a deity since not a lot of deities inhabit that and there isn't anything important to skiing in a mythological setting if you really think about it, which is why she ascended.
* She's very happy to see her fellow gods again the Pantheon and celebrated. She's shocked to see that the Thor is different from the one she knew, being that he is much more noble, less of an asshole and more kindhearted, and has different requirements of using Mjolnir, because of this, they get along pretty quickly. She's very happy to hear of [[spoiler: Loki's redemption, and because of that, they become friends again, although it did take a while for it to happen]], but Loki still doesn't forgive her for placing a venomous snake around his face. She's not exactly happy seeing Loki's children and Surtr as they pretty much one of the reasons why Ragnarok happened, killing most of the gods with only a handful of them and two humans survived to rebuild civilization.
** From her fellow gods, she heard a different counterpart of Hel existed and she's not pleased upon hearing the details. Considering she's the Goddess of Death and using that position to caused greater death than what is imagined, [[Film/ThorRagnarok destroyed Thor's hammer]], and slaughtered the Asgardians in that universe, she is not exactly pleased.
* Due to being the goddess of winter, she met the House of Ice And Cold. She befriended all of the deities due to her association with it and although they're weirded out with one of associations is skiing, they didn't spat her out of it since it's a winter sport. It also helps that she knows how to fight, which managed her to get some bonus points with Olaf and Ymir. The only god in that House she didn't get along with is Kaldr. This is because he is the personification of heat death in his universe, uses his powers for evil, and the fact he doesn't mind it really sets her off.
* She got to meet a living snowman in the Pantheon, who is Olaf. Olaf feels bad hearing the story of her father's death, and attempted to console her for it. The fact she managed to reconcile with the people that are responsible for her father's death pretty much astounded him. She is warmed by his loyalty to his friends and is happy to see that he could live in summer without melting. It also helps that he is created by one of her new friends in the Pantheon, Elsa.
* Hearing about [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder a Lostbelt where a Celtic figure became an avatar of her instead of being a warrior queen and goldslayer]], she decided to go off to meet that person, who is Scathach. The goddess of winter is not impressed with what happened in that world and wanted to knock some sense into her....that is until she was stopped by the Master of Chaldea. Hearing about the story from them, she apologized to Scathach from confronting her mercilessly. She admires the Master from saving humanity as a whole even if the situation requires to destroy other Lostbelts to survives and that Scathach is one of the Servants he summoned. She became good friends with them after that and hearing about her other self, she wonders if she could be summoned as a Servant someday. Although for the moment, she has been having extra fatigue because she received a lot of summons for 'farming problems'.
* Seeing that one of her domains as a goddess is archery and is an actual goddess, she was approached by Artemis and became rivals because of this. Artemis feels bad for her awful marriage, ststing that she didn't deserve any of this and wanted to kill the Aesirs for this, but Skaði calmed her down, as she already reconciled with them. Hearing about her association with the mountains, Artemis is happy to hear that there is someone share the same positions with her, even though Skaði is much more associated with winter. Because of this, the two established more of a FriendlyRivalry.
** Through Artemis, she met other archers as a result, including her student, Chiron. She admires the centaur for his good wisdom and his good nature compared to the other centaurs and his family members, with Chiron admiring her sense of justice and judgement (though he does feel uneasy with some of her punishments), which is why they got along and passed more as friends rather than rivals. She also met other human archers, such as Hawkeye, Green Arrow, and Katniss. She is impressed with how keen sense of eyesight and their mastery of archery, and most of all, they're able to do it without having any superpowers to contribute it and are just mortals. With that, they're more like rivalry because she doesn't see them as the type she could hang out with and they're much more likely to have other archers as their own rivals, though she does admire the first two for their jobs as superheroes and the latter for volunteering as tribute in the Hunger Games, seeing it as a selfless act.
** Hearing about an another archer named Hanzo Shimada, she feels bad for him. She thinks it sucks that he is in a redemption quest that is entirely pointless and thinks that he is irredeemable. He is also a bit of DeathSeeker, but it also infuriates her that he couldn't find a way to forgive himself and also accepting Genji's forgiveness, which really sets her off. But she seems that he suffered too much that she calmed down a bit, but she hopes that he'll find a way to forgive himself and also accepting Genji's forgiveness and to become true brothers again. As someone who pursues justice and judgement, she forgives him for his actions, knowing that he has so much regret in his heart that she could feel sympathy for him, and seeing that she forgive the Aesirs for killing her father, it would be hypocritical of her to spite him if it wasn't for his desire of atonement.
* Passionate in the pursuit of justice and judgement with some sources saying she is also the goddess of justice and judgement, she got along with the good side of the House of Justice. She is horrified to learn that there are evil deities of the House of Justice, wondering why they have a position there in the first place. She wanted to say that they should be disband from that House, but she knew she couldn't do anything and decided to leave them be.
* She can be summoned as an SMT demon and as a Persona. She was contracted by Nanashi, Makoto Yuki, Aigis, Yu Narukami, and Ren Amamiya. Hearing that they are already in the Pantheon, she's very happy to see them again, congratulated them in their efforts to save humanity (though Nanashi's situation is different), and is willing to be contracted with them again if they ever need her help.
** The Demi-Fiend is a special case. In his universe, she was one of the guardians of the flow of Magatsuhi and she represents the red temple. The Demi-Fiend was requested to liberate the three temples and in order to safeguard the place, they have to battle. After their battle, she joined him as one of his demons coincidentally by evolving Scathach. Seeing that he is not as different as the one she knew, she's willing to join him again.
* She used to be one of Mem Aleph's enthralled Mothers until being defeated by Tadano Hitonari. Seeing that Skaði is different from the one Mem Aleph knew and that she truly doesn't care about humanity and wants to eradicate them, the goddess doesn't want to serve under her anytime soon, even though she understands her reasons of doing so.
* Some sources say that after she and Njord have a divorce, she remarried Ullr, others said it's Odin. When a lot of deities ask her about it, she gives no comment about it. She doesn't want it to spill around the Pantheon any longer, especially in the House of Love, which really annoys her, as that House is known for it's ShipToShipCombat, so she doesn't say anything about the issue, which disappointed some of the deities.
