History Characters / HadesOlympianGods

* EndlessWinter: [[spoiler: Demeter is causing one of these due to her daughter being missing. Hades says she would do far, far worse if she knew the truth.]]

* FantasticRacism: Demeter does not care for mortals. Quite a few of her conversations with Zagreus will see her bashing mortals saying they are not worthy of her gifts.
* GoodIsNotNice: She's on Zagreus's side, but that's it. She's quite imperious and cold, seeming more of an icy matriarch than a kindly grandmother, rather like the inverse of Nyx. [[spoiler: Though she becomes more doting when she learns that Zagreus is her grandson.]]

* JerkassGods: Demeter arguably holds truest to the stereotype of the Olympians being infamously cruel to mortals. Whenever Demeter speaks of mortals, she can barely hide her contempt and thinks nothing of making them endure an EndlessWinter all because she's in mourning of ''her own'' personal loss. She finally mellows out in the post-game, and only because [[spoiler: she learns Persephone is safe and sound and returns to living on Olympus part-time.]]

* LightIsNotGood: She wears white and light blue colors, and although she shows gentle moments to Zagreus from time to time, she is far from kind. This is due to the fact that [[spoiler: Persephone is missing which has turned her bitter and caused the Surface to freeze over in her absence]].

* TheLostLenore: She [[MayflyDecemberRomance fell for a mortal farmer]] and clearly regrets being left behind when he died. It's kind of understandable why her mood is so icy having lost [[spoiler: both a lover and a child]].

* MayflyDecemberRomance: She will bitterly advise Zagreus not to ever fall in love with a mortal, as such affairs are doomed. She can go on to confirm that she fell in love with a farmer who paid tribute to her, producing [[spoiler: Persephone]], but that he is long gone.

* MoralityPet: Even going by the TeethClenchedTeamwork standards of the Olympians, Demeter doesn't try to hide the fact that she doesn't care for any of them. The only person she seems to hold in high regard is Zagreus [[spoiler: and her daughter Persephone]].

* NotHimself: It's implied by the Codex that Demeter has become a much darker and less merciful figure in her old age. [[spoiler: The loss of Persephone likely has something to do with it.]]
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Although she was initially unaware that Zagreus [[spoiler: was her grandson, Hades will mention if Zagreus has been in contact with the winter goddess of how much she doesn't like Hades.]] He snarks that she and Zagreus must have gotten along very quickly due to their mutual dislike of him. [[spoiler: Even after everyone is reconciled, Demeter keeps the surface around the Temple of Styx locked in eternal winter as a snub to Hades.]]

* ShootTheMessenger: When [[spoiler: Helios informed her what happened to Persephone she not only didn't believe him, she blocked out the sun in response.]]

* TheGhost: Apollo, Hephaestus, Hera, and Hestia are all mentioned in dialogue but otherwise absent, the latter two also represented by aspects of the bow and rail respectively.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Zigzagged. In Greek mythology, the Olympians are known for being vindictive and petty. While they certainly become offended if you side against them in the Trial of the Gods, they [[EasilyForgiven get over it]] after you survive. Otherwise, they're nothing but supportive towards Zagreus and are eager to meet him in person. However, if you listen to their talkings about each other and how Hades regards them, they are ''still'' the same dysfunctional, petty deities they are associated as. [[spoilers: The whole messy situation of Persephone's arranged relationship with Hades and the idea of her being revealed to be alive in seclusion is enough to warrant the Gods' might upon the Underworld. Thankfully, it doesn't come to that.]]

* AdaptedOut: Of the Twelve Olympians in the original myths, Apollo, Hephaestus and Hera are noticeably only mentioned (but never seen), and the game uses the interpretation that favors Dionysus over Hestia as one of the twelve. Apollo, Hphaestus, and Hestia would later appear in the sequel.
