History Characters / StrayGods

* TheCynic: Persephone does not always have the most charitable interpretations of others, and is quick to assume personal slights against her, failings of their character or self-serving motives. Given her peers' general inaction toward Hades' abuse, one can see why she developed such defensive approach to life.
* DefrostingTheIceQueen: She is prickly, rude and prideful to near everyone, but she can become a fair and loyal ally to those who put in the work to prove themselves to her.

* WorthyOpponent: If Grace chooses to respond to her aggression with even more aggression without holding anything back and eventually steamrolling her in the fight she started, Persephone is actually impressed with the fight in them, and willingly aids them despite previously believing they were responsible for Calliope's death and unworthy of her Eidolon.

* RevengeBeforeReason: He held onto the throne of Hades for centuries to spite Persephone, despite on some level realizing he's wasting away in the Underworld as a result. To his credits, [[spoiler:he is seemingly much more reasonable than Persephone portrays him as, and it's far easier to convince him to let it go than it is to convince Persephone.]]

* TheCynic: Persephone does not always have a charitable interpretation of others, and is quick to assume personal flights against her or failings of their character. Given her peers' general inaction toward Hades' abuse, one can see why.

* HellHasNewManagement: [[spoiler:With Hades dead and Persephone deposed, Orpheus took the throne of the Underworld. Grace can let him keep it, give it back to Persephone, [[TakeAThirdOption take it for herself or destroy it entirely]]]].

* MuggleBestFriend: The only mortal character among a cast of immortals and fully supports and assists Grace throughout her adventures. [[spoiler:This can potentially change if she becomes the Last Muse through Grace passing over her eidolon]].

* GoodOldWays: She embodies this; she's HopelessWithTech and she dresses like how you'd imagine a Greek God, unlike other Idols who have adopted more modern outfits. [[spoiler:Subverted in that she's not good - she's the killer.]]

* ImplacableMan: The Furies. Once they are sent, they do not stop until they exact punishment [[LoopholeAbuse (which need not necessarily be the death of their target, small comfort as that may be)]], or until the one who sent them chooses to return them, [[spoiler:as Athena eventually would in the trial.]]

Apollo's sister, the goddess of the hunt. She partied ways with the pantheon long ago, refusing to acclimate with civilization.

* DoNotCallMePaul: Referenced in Freddie's profile, where Grace comments that the only person to call her Farishta is her grandmother.

* PerkyGoth: Grace wears piercings, black jeans and a leather jacket and is occasionally moody, but still is a very emotional person. This is especially true if the player consistently picks Green options, where Grace is consistently friendly and warm.

* MrExposition: As a bookworm who "knows her Greek myth", Freddie provides exposition on basic knowledge of various figures in Greek mythology for Grace's benefit..

* PerkyGoth: Grace wears piercings, black jeans and a leather jacket and is occasionally moody, but still is a very emotional person.

* ButNowIMustGo: When the pantheon left the Old World for civilization, she refused to leave and partied ways, disappearing into the wilderness.

* MotorMouth: Once she starts gushing over books or mythology, she can ramble on in paragraphs.

* BearerOfBadNews: Because every future is written by the Fates, Apollo is ''very'' reluctant to offer his help to Grace or anyone since it's most likely they won't like what they'll hear.
* CursedWithAwesome: Apollo has the power of prophecy, and can see the future as a result. He had since learned this is not always a good thing. To know a prophecy is to be bounded by it, [[spoiler:and indeed, him capitulating to Athena's demand and telling her the prophecy involving Calliope is the very thing that pointlessly got her killed.]] No wonder he is not keen on using this power for anyone's benefit.

* SurferDude: Downplayed. He ''looks'' like one and his current residence is a literal beach house, but personality-wise he's quite moody and serious. [[spoiler:His current host belonged to a mortal named Lucas, a surfer who tried to save his previous host from drowning]].

* The Voiceless: Don't say a single word in their first appearance.

* GlowingEyes: During Old Wounds, Apollo's eyes briefly glow gold with fury once Persephone pushed his buttons once too many times.

* DealWithTheDevil: I Can Teach You frames him this way. His goat horns can suggest Satanic imagery, he appears shifty and cunning, he stresses that he will one day call in this favour, Grace's best friend immediately mistrusts him and he and Freddie are positioned on opposite sides, as if they were angel and devil on her shoulder. [[spoiler:This is subverted when it turns out, while indeed a trickster and perhaps a little self-serving, he is largely innocent, and he uses his favour to push Grace further along in her investigation.]]

* {{Bookworm}}: She gets ''very'' excited whenever she sees books. Her reaction to witnessing [[spoiler:Hecate's library leaves her rambling her love for them]].

* MotorMouth: Once she starts gushing over books, she can ramble on in paragraphs.

* {{Squee}}: Her utterly ''delighted'' reaction while reacting to [[spoiler:Asterion woo Hecate, especially if they together]].

* IDidWhatIHadTo: [[spoiler:How she justifies killing Calliope and trying to execute Grace. In her view, either Calliope dies, or all the Idols die, and someone must make the difficult choice.]]
