* Aside from her mutant powers and her sorcery, her [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]] is the Soulsword. The Soulsword was created during Magik's seven-year stint in Limbo from her own life energy, in which the Soulsword was formed. The sword was an ordinary one when created, but over time, it had developed more intricate designs and forms whenever Illyana wielded it. On top of that, the Soulsword becomes even more powerful whenever Illyana uses it. Illyana's favorite form of Soulsword is the signature broadsword design. The sword is lethal to magic-based beings, but for humans and mutants, it just knocks them unconscious, as Black Widow found out when both her and Magik threw down.

* Alpha Hatsuseno is a robot who runs a coffee shop, Cafe Alpha, on the coast of Yokohama. Alpha lives in a peaceful time after a nebulous series of catastrophes ravaged the world; sea levels have risen drastically, with Yokohama becoming partially flooded. Humanity is on its way to extinction because of those events, but life goes on calmly and happily for the remaining people in the area. Alpha is good friends with the locals, children and elderly alike, and watches them as they go about their lifespans, sometimes providing them with a friendly ear. Although they are as mayflies compared to herself, she finds them and their works very worthy subjects of contemplation.
* Some indefinite amount of time after the last record of her life in Yokohama, Alpha was contacted by the Pantheon and invited to set up shop in their realm. Being interested in meeting new people and seeing new places, Alpha saw no objection to this, much as a dimension where everyone is immortal and anything can change with a snap of the fingers seems to run counter to what she has learned through her experiences with humans. With no wish to start a debate on the matter, Alpha hasn't commented on this apparent contradiction and quietly took the mantle of representing goddess of the MonoNoAware trope.
* Running the Cafe could be a lonely and boring job for Alpha; the place was in an out-of-the-way location and this meant she would often go for consecutive days without a single customer (the only reason a failing shop like this could stay open can be credited to the inhuman Alpha not needing much to stay alive). Truth be told, this can still be the case in the Pantheon, as the Cafe is still in a deserted coastal area to keep to its spirit, but by Alpha's own account, it's not as bad as in Yokohama; not only is the Pantheon lousy with people, but many of them are travellers or adventurers and they are happy to find Alpha's shop when they go by her isolated territory. This is how she wound up meeting the drifter Kino, who liked Alpha's calm and thoughtful demeanor and her account of her declining world, which Kino decided to add to her list of destinations. Kino often finds herself half-consciously drifting back to the serenity of Cafe Alpha once in a while to take a break from her travels.
* It was with some trepidation that Alpha saw a tank roll up to her Cafe, but that bad feeling disappeared soon enough when two harmless-looking girls hopped out and requested some refreshments. As Alpha served them, she curiously asked the girls, Chito and Yuuri, what their circumstances were to be getting around in a tank, and the two explained their world of origin was just about to collapse beyond remedy and the tank was simply the safest and most convenient way for them. They too learned that Alpha's world was in a similar state, if not quite so wrecked, and all together the three girls mused aloud on how strange and contradictory it is that their destroyed worlds can be so peaceful and sometimes even pleasant to live in. Afterwards, the trio have been known to sometimes travel together and pay visits to each other's worlds on occasion (though Alpha has to remind them not to bring their tank into hers, partly so as to not cause any alarm, partly because Alpha just doesn't want to see an instrument of war in Yokohama, much as she thinks it's neat that it serves no other purpose than to carry her friends around).
* Through Chito and Yuuri, Alpha also met Ai Astin, yet another denizen of a dying world; in this case the calamity is that humanity can no longer procreate nor die in the traditional sense, leading to a stagnated population that includes undead, who are, for the most part, just like living people, except for an unfortunate propensity to go berserk. Ai's task as a Gravekeeper is to grant true death to those who wish to pass on, but not everybody has issue with being undead (to the point where there are cities only for them), so it's not always wanted. Thus Alpha is presented with a situation where not all of humanity accepts their end and some insist on some form of permanence, flawed as it might be. At any rate, Alpha and Ai have bonded over their roles as observers of humanity on its way out, and Alpha is glad that Ai's world is a peaceful one as well despite its melancholic circumstances. Ai has also remarked that her mother was the first Gravekeeper and her name just so happened to be Alfa, leading to speculating that Alpha might as well her equivalent from a different universe. Alpha's not sure what to make of that, seeing Ai as a little sister at most.
* Alpha is not totally stationary; occasionally she shuts down the Cafe and brings out her scooter to go on her own travels around the Pantheon whenever she has a case of wanderlust. Sometimes she even meets Kino and the two travel together for a bit. In one of these trips, she's had the pleasure of visiting Neo-Venezia and meeting the Undines who row the gondolas, Akari, Aika and Alice, with whom Alpha became good friends as they served as her tour guides. Alpha was glad to see some of humanity's more majestic achievements recreated off-world, especially after hearing from the Undines that their planet Earth is going through some environmental troubles, even if its situation isn't as bad as Alpha's and humanity as a whole is still doing well. At any rate, Alpha could bond easily with the Undines, especially Akari, over their ability to bask in the present moment and finding beauty in small things.
* She once received the Rabbit House's employees in her Cafe while they were not-so-secretly staking out the competition. Needless to say, Alpha is not interested in starting any rivalry, nor does she have any need of displacing any other coffee businesses in the Pantheon for her benefit. All she thought was how fun it was to have such a cute and lively group at her often lonesome place for a change, so she was as nice to the girls as she usually is to just about everybody else. A good time was had by all as she showed them how she carved her signature wooden fish sculptures and played the Moon Harp, so any ideas the Rabbit House crew had about "the competition" were forgotten. Some time later, they brought Alpha along to meet their friends/sorta rivals at the Polar Bear Cafe, amazing Alpha with the sight of a coffee shop where humans and animals worked and hung out together in harmony. She became especially close to Polar Bear for his laidback disposition and quiet observation of his surroundings.
* Alpha has found that there is a pretty large variety of robots in the Pantheon in terms of purposes and shapes, and her potential favorites are pretty different from her, being WALL-E and EVE, two compact, oddly adorably-designed robots whose primary tasks have to do with protecting the environment. Their task is particularly important, given they come from a world that's much more devastated than Alpha's thanks to human foolishness, even to the point of becoming uninhabitable. It was quite shocking for Alpha, who's much more used to seeing the good in humans, to learn that they allowed things to get that bad. She also felt terribly sad for WALL-E after hearing from him (turns out she understands his speech quite well) how he was the only one of his series who didn't eventually break down and for a while was all alone except for a pet cockroach. Fortunately, after EVE arrived, the two went on to give new hope for mankind through their discovery of a growing plant. So Alpha felt reassured of mankind's goodness, especially as they decided to make an effort to fix the planet they had ruined. The idea of outliving other robots and existing all on her own is still haunting her, though.
* Living in close proximity to the ocean and being prone to contemplate its expanse for hours, it was only a matter of time until she met a robotic underwater dweller known simply as the Diver. She learned that the Diver once helped sea creatures reclaim the ruins of a lost civilization, a story which Alpha was impressed with, but also made her ponder what it's going to look like when animals and plants take over Yokohama; she thinks it would be a bittersweet sight at any rate. Through the Diver she learned of and sought out a few other beings with similar stories of restoring some semblance of life to ruined landscapes, such as the desert-dwelling Robed Figure, who once set cloth creatures free from their confinement as energy sources, and two mystical foxes who used the power of the aurora to purify their barren land from a festering plague. Alpha wound up infatuated with their beautiful, if tragic, worlds and will happily walk in them along with these new friends she's made, who appreciate her ability to see beauty among so much evidence of hubris and decadence.
* A rather more negative example of a world that's met its end through gradual flooding can be seen in the one inhabited by two mysterious white-haired characters known as the Young Girl and the Soldier, as the latter once told Alpha as he challenged her to find beauty in a world abandoned by god. Alpha took him up on it and while she was certainly spooked by the gothic architecture and bleak ambience, her typical quietly optimistic outlook still made the beauty of the meticulous contructions shine through to her. Learning that the city was built on an ark as a last resort when the rest of the world was flooded just made her love it more since she saw it as people making the best of a bad situation, not entirely unlike how humans dealt with the end in her universe. She doesn't know what to make of god abandoning the world or anything but that's how she feels about the city on the ark. The Soldier was quite amazed with her response and couldn't help but feel deep respect for her. The Young Girl was totally unaware of their convo, but she seems fond of Alpha herself as well.

** The GUAE was happy to use Mr Meeseeks for nefarious needs.

* He naturally despises Voldemort for believing in the superiority of [[WitchSpecies pure blood]] and using magic to satisfy his lust for power, something his muggle-born half-sister would never do.

* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chosokabe Motochika]] (is actually close friends with the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player Koei version]])
* Although she was personally not very lonely at all, Karen's past experience as a lonely soul enabled her to be elevated in the ranks of the Pantheon on the recommendation of Nagisa and Honoka (ontop of helping defeat the Nightmare and Eternal group). Karen's job is to soothe the loneliness of those who are rich and hopefully make them get past it by getting friends. She'll offer as the first friend too.
** Her entrance was a little rocky as well. She thought she received the invitation to the Pantheon itself. When she approached the gates of the Pantheon, she was instead ''refused'' and booted out, as it was said that the invitation was ''fake'', sending Karen into depression. The ''Yes!'' Cures still in mortal realm encouraged her to keep trying, and the Pantheon found out that the fake invitation was the machination of Terumi to {{Troll}} her with lines like "[[MemeticMutation Forever Alone]]" after learning what she would achieve. After difficulties were taken care of, Karen was finally permitted.
* She knew one day this would come to an end, but Karen is the first ''Yes!'' Cure to ever embrace the proper Pantheon. She eagerly waits that she won't be the only one (Considering that Rin Natsuki and Komachi Akimoto have been spotted in the Academy). Before that, she would content herself with the new friends she made in the Pantheon.
* She excels in medical studies. She learned a lot from various Gods that knew the arts of healing and respected them all, but Karen mostly favored and hung around with Litchi Faye-Ling a lot, as not only she was the one who helped solve the difficulty of her entrance at first (along with Mami Tomoe), Karen considered her like [[ParentalSubstitute a substitute mother figure]] considering her mortal mother (that she still loved and respected) rarely visit her.
** During spare times, she tends to lock herself inside a room and held on her hand a spare [[Pantheon/Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury Miracle Light]] she found, occasionally waving at it with hope. A lot thought it was because she's getting lonely herself, but in truth [[spoiler:she's praying for a miracle, secretly sharing the item with other Precures that share her sentiments, so that everything will go well with Litchi's questionable status. Karen is unsure if this will surely fix things, but she felt that she has to try regardless.]]
* Whenever she enters the Food Pantheon and leaves it, you can be assured that they will lose at least [[TrademarkFavoriteFood one bottle of grape juice]].
* Although it wasn't uttered often, calling Karen '[[MaamShock Babaa]]' is not recommended, she's not too pleased with it.
* Has a personal horse named Charlie, who may not be as great as [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Koku-Oh]], but Karen deeply cared for the horse, and the horse often came to her as her stead in battle. Naturally, she didn't take it well when Handsome Jack called the name 'lame' and offers to rename it as 'Butt Stallion II', causing Karen to flood him away.
* Her house is [[BigFancyHouse amongst the biggest and fanciest in the Pantheon]].
* Contrary to her portfolio, Karen understood that the House of Commerce aren't always problematic. But she does understand that it tends to make several lonely people because of their immense wealth, that's where she comes in. In a way, it makes her similar to Yuri Tsukikage, fixing the problems her portfolio represents.
** Though she does keep an eye against Looten Plunder, as his selfish motivations for richness are really promoting things Karen stood against. Not to mention, she along with her friends have fought not just one, but two evil world-destroying corporates.
** She ran into Charlotte Labouf during one of her trips and the two got along splendidly over gumbo, beignets and fairy tales. Charlotte truly supports Karen's goals in helping lonely girls to obtain friends and is wiling to work with alongside her.
* She also discovered Litchi's secret of getting drunk when no one's looking. Although she got her to agree not to drink, Karen got roped into playing 'dress ups'. While she agreed, she's secretly thinking of how to come up with a cute dress that fit Litchi's size without flaunting her wealth... something that she's contacting Charlotte for help.
* She had a nightmare of Litchi leaving her and going back to her old obsessed self, leaving her in complete depression like she did when she was stuck in a Nightmare Mask. Fortunately, the nightmare was broken when Litchi woke her up and told her that she managed to redeem herself and is welcomed back amongst the proper Pantheon. Karen has nothing to say but a congratulations.
** Is... less than fond of the ascension of Arakune due to the fact that she remembers from her nightmares that he was the reason why Ms. Litchi left her and had to work for the bad guys. Despite that, she respect Litchi's decisions regarding him and will help her cure him if possible, thus she wouldn't exactly 'oppose' him, but merely drive him away without killing him when he wreaks havoc.
** Eventually, these feelings would thrust her head on into the Morality Civil War, with her being one of Litchi's most steadfast friend and defender, to the point that she harbored intense dislike to Kokonoe Mercury for brushing off Litchi without even caring about her conditions and claiming that her idea is the best idea to deal with Litchi. This is to the point that Karen started getting creeped out that she found herself edging with the slippery slope against Kokonoe…
** By the end of it, the War ended and the Pantheon has given official statement that Litchi was to be forgiven. Karen was one of the first beings to wait at Litchi's house and gave her a hug, along with others.
* Freed Jay Gatsby from The Fallen by accepting his money. She even managed to bring him to the same house as her.
* Akin to another Pretty Cure member, it seems nowadays Karen has befriended another historical figure: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chousokabe Motochika]] (the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player]], mind you). When they've first met, Motochika was strumming his shamisen in peace, and Karen was attracted to his music due to being well-aware of fine talent in that field. He then talked with her for a while about their water motifs, and played her a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhcPQxAqDY song of some sort]] regarding [[ScrewDestiny his stance in life]]. It touched her, especially with their possible ways to relate to each other somewhat.
** When Karen was shocked to find out that he was ''the Chousokabe Motochika, ruler of Shikoku'', she was at a loss for words. But in the end, they ended up as close friends.
*** It turns out, fellow gods are pointing out that the reason why they seem close to each other is that [[Creator/AiMaeda their respective]] [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu voices]] are somehow...''[[RelationshipVoiceActor married]]'' to each other. The Capcom-big brother-version is confused on the matter, even if he does understand the reasons behind it.
*** On that end, [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Sima Shi]] who also has a similar voice to Motochika, has also opened her eyes on the other side of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db8R8M6ttMc defying fate where instead was merely accepting said fate]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aUq8Gdpdqg while also somewhat trusting it to guide you]]. Right now under the guidance of the Koei-version of Oichi ([[Creator/AiMaeda who has a similar voice to Karen]]), is teaching her to find the song that fits perfectly alongside those voices.
*** Is also starting to get along with [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Ze]][[Pantheon/NamingTheme r]][[VideoGame/MegaManX o]], mainly as a battle partner. The sadness they each both have suffered from seems to also tie them both together.

* You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. ''[[{{Tagline}} But do you recall... the most famous reindeer of all?]]'' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer Rangifer tarandus]][[/note]]'', as his name implies, was born with a shiny [[GagNose red nose.]] So bright in fact, that people would even say it glows. While his parents tried to hide it from public eyes, his unique snout was soon discovered and turned Rudolph into a laughing stock. AllOfTheOtherReindeer in the North Pole [[https://youtu.be/f1u7lHSMoIU?t=1065 mocked and humiliated the poor fawn.]] They called him cruel names and wouldn't let him play in their reindeer games. Even Santa himself acted incredibly jerkish towards him. Time soon passed, and a terrible storm engulfed the North Pole, not letting up even as Christmas Eve approached. Santa was close to cancelling the holiday altogether... until he realized something. He approached the now-adult Rudolph and asked, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" [[SavingChristmas And he did.]] With his nose piercing through the fog and mist, Rudolph led the way around the world and allowing Santa to deliver the presents on time. Christmas was saved, and the reindeer changed their attitude. They came to love him and cheered with glee, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would go down in history.
* Rudolph ascended to the Pantheon alongside Santa during one particular holiday season. A strong winter storm rolled over the entire Pantheon, causing mass concern over whether or not Christmas would come at all. All hope seemed lost, when, hidden in the fog and snow, a red light was spotted. The deities, both young and old, knew instantly who the light belonged to, with the younger ones cheering as Rudolph led Santa's sleigh through the blizzard, delivering presents as they went. Christmas had been saved once more, with Santa and Rudolph being given temples and titles within the Pantheon as thank you for their efforts.
** Santa and Rudolph share a temple, leading back to Christmas Town, better known as the North Pole. It is a quaint little area, with the Claus' and their elves living on the first castle on the left. '''[[note]]Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.[[/note]]''' The reindeer either live in the castle's stables or in the nearby caves. Business goes on as usual in preparations for December 24th, so should one ever visit, don't be surprised by all the elves and reindeer working and practicing.
* The version of Rudolph seen in the Pantheon hails from a [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer bizarre timeline]], where he, the son of Donner, ran away from home and travelled with an aspiring elf dentist named Hermey and Canadian prospector Yukon Cornelius to an island of misfit toys, confronting the Abominable Snow Monster, and eventually saving his family from said monster. However, his appearance tends to fluctuate from time to time; sometimes he looks like an adult and other times he reverts into a young fawn. As well, his origins are often thrown into question. Some claim he [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998 was born to Blitzen, and was rivals with his cousin, Arrow]], while others say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4b9Q7YdDdM his story was more simplistic.]] He will transform into these alternate forms occasionally, but he is most comfortable in his stop-motion body. Besides, it allowed for Hermey, Yukon and fellow reindeer Clarice to arrive as Heralds.
* Rudolph's love for Christmas is an absolute given and he was surprised to learn there were many other deities associated with the holidays living in the Pantheon. Luckily for him, most of them are on good terms with the reindeer. Besides the Santa and Mrs. Claus he's most familiar with, Rudolph came to work alongside the Guardian, Nicolas Saint North, the young idols Hijiri Mochizuki and Eve Santaclaus, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. They all do their duties to spread Christmas cheer and joy to the Pantheon and to the Worlds, with Rudolph always leading the way with his nose lighting the darkness.
** Initially, Rudolph had a difficult time trusting Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jack Skellington and The Grinch, due to their previous attempts to take over, sabotage or simply disregard Christmas altogether. Not to mention the latter two having dogs (Zero and Max) that they used in roles similar to reindeer. Then the young buck discovered their histories, learning how all three went through epiphanies and changed their ways to cherish the holiday season. Nowadays, Rudolph will occasionally enlist their help to spread Christmas cheer to the Pantheon... while keeping Jack from stealing the show.
* One Christmas Eve, Rudolph and Santa met three (former) homeless folks from Japan, named Gin, Hana and Miyuki, and witnessed their story of helping reunite an abandoned baby with her parents. Santa noted the trio's incredible luck on their journey and kindness to the child and decided to give them a place in the Pantheon. Rudolph often stops by the check up on them and even invite them to the North Pole to help in the festivities.
* Rudolph knows first-hand how it felt being ostracized for his differences and has gone about the Pantheon making friends with others like him. He is close to Naruto Uzumaki since the two were picked on in their childhood before earning the respect of others after saving them. He's also friends with Dumbo, often flying alongside the big-eared elephant during the holidays and helping Santa, The imaginative, Canadian red-head Anne Shirley, and the Fire Nation born circus performer Ty Lee, who took to the reindeer almost instantly, even praising him for using his gifts for good. The more cynical deities often make fun of these friendships, considering the red-nosed reindeer and company a bunch of mismatched misfits and freaks. Rudolph and the others don't really care for their opinions. Friends stick together no matter what, after all. He also became close to Haruka Kotoura and was heartbroken when he heard how she couldn't control her telepathic power, causing major issues. Haruka was surprised to find out that she could read Rudolph's mind despite being an animal. She's actually ok with it because most times, his mind is filled with sugar plums, fairies, Christmas and [[OfficialCouple Clarice.]]
** Despite this, Rudolph does have limits. He once heard of the dealings of the Diclonius, Lucy. While he did feel sorry for her at first, once he heard about the [[HarmfulToMinors end result of her bullying]] he felt sick to his stomach. He avoids interacting or even being near her.
* Rudolph's not exactly a big fan of bullies due to his own experiences being picked on. He initially frowned at Shoya Ishida and his bullying of his deaf classmate Shoko Nishimiya, as well as distrusting the young Katsuki Bakugo for him picking on the young Izuku Midoriya, which reminded Rudolph of his cousin Arrow. After hearing about the two bullies going through their [[HeelFaceTurn own major changes]], Rudolph tried to interact with them a bit more. Shoya and Shoko are on good terms with the flying deer, though Bakugo wishes not to be pitied by the deer.
* His journey to the Island of Misfit Toys and meeting its forgotten inhabitants came back to Rudolph's memory when he encountered an equally bizarre group of sentient toys in the Pantheon; led by a cowboy doll named Woody and a spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear. The toys had their own experiences with being lost, forgotten and eventually finding new owners, so they connected quickly with the red-nosed reindeer. They even travelled to the island to help other forgotten toys find new owners to play with and cherish.
* Not long after ascending, Rudolph found friends in the Pantheon's other resident hoofstock. In particular, the white-tailed deer Bambi, former farm cow-turned-reindeer Annabelle, and the Legendary Pokémon, Xerneas, who is sometimes spotted in the forests surrounding the Arctic, its multi-coloured antlers glowing with the aurora borealis. He was also happy to meet the blue-nosed reindeer Tony Chopper, although he was initially weirded out by his small size and strange appearance. All four have come by the North Pole from time to time, with Bambi bringing his own friends, Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, to enjoy the Christmas festivities. They all, however, know to stay away from the ruthless goat Grogar, who isn't quite up for the holiday joy, happiness and... you know, ''being nice whatsoever.''
** Speaking of deer, Rudolph encountered a strange woman named [=ViVi=], a member of a K-Pop girl group called LOOΠΔ. She was considered an oddball due to her being an android, not to mention being from Hong Kong. Despite this, Rudolph began talking with her, at the urging of her fellow idols. It turned out that she was a friendly individual, even revealing that her [[AnimalMotifs symbolic animal]] was a deer, which made things all the more perfect. From then on out, Rudolph often stops by to check up on the singer and dancer, even inviting her to the North Pole to hang out. On one such occasion, [=ViVi=] came over to Rudolph and called him cute. His response was to leap into the air and shout;
--> '''Rudolph:''' ''I'm Cute! I'm Cute! She said I'm cute!''
* [[WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly One time]], Rudolph and his friend Frosty the Snowman had a run-in with an evil winter warlock called Winterbolt, who once tried to use them in his plan to destroy Santa. After that, the young reindeer has remained cautious around similar ice-controlling beings, as well as a revived Winterbolt, who continues to haunt the Pantheon. He's wary of Lissandra and The Night's King, both of whom want to plunge the Pantheon into a long and unforgiving winter. To that end, Rudolph found new help with Jon Snow, the former King in the North having a bit of experience in dealing with wights and White Walkers. He also befriended the time-travelling warrior Lucina, following a scenario similar to [[WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear when the reindeer had to save the New Year.]]
** He actually feels sorry for Ice King, however, due to his tragic past. He can't really imagine what it's like to be that insane.
* Rudolph became good friends with Queen Anna, her older sister Elsa and the living snowman Olaf. The former initially was a tough sell, due to her cryokinetic powers, but then they started talking. He learned of Elsa having to hide her talent under her parent's instructions, just as his parents once did, as well as being ostricized by the public once it was discovered. Elsa often makes it her duty to provide a white Christmas for the Pantheon, and is more than happy to help Rudolph by keeping the worst storms at bay. Anna meanwhile loves to prepare and throw extravagant parties around the holiday season, and she likes to invite Rudolph over to entertain the kids, not to mention giving another reindeer friend to her fiance Kristoff and his faithful caribou Sven. As for Olaf? Rudolph gets along with him because, in a way, he reminds the deer a great deal of Frosty the Snowman.
* He once had a nasty run-in with the Wendigo, a flesh-eating monster whose sharp teeth and piercing call reminded the buck of the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. Luckily for the reindeer, he was saved by Braum, who reminded Rudolph of Yukon Cornelius. However, after hearing that the Wendigo was actually [[spoiler: a girl who was forced to eat her dead sister's body]], Rudolph was both saddened and disgusted. Rudolph is also incredibly disturbed by SCP-4666, due to its sadistic brutality towards naughty children, Spooky the ghost, who murdered Santa on one occasion, and Robot Santa, who often attacks people on Christmas regardless if they're naughty or nice.
* There are many rumours surrounding Rudolph. Some claim to have seen Rudolph [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo shooting laser beams]] out of his shining red nose, while others heard he was [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway hit by a 747 and a flock of seagulls while flying over Barcelona.]] Rudolph has denied these claims, citing that the instigators probably drank too much eggnog and just hallucinated it. But eyewitnesses were quick to report that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane.

* You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. ''[[{{Tagline}} But do you recall... the most famous reindeer of all?]]'' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer Rangifer tarandus]][[/note]]'', as his name implies, was born with a shiny [[GagNose red nose.]] So bright in fact, that people would even say it glows. While his parents tried to hide it from public eyes, his unique snout was soon discovered and turned Rudolph into a laughing stock. AllOfTheOtherReindeer in the North Pole [[https://youtu.be/f1u7lHSMoIU?t=1065 mocked and humiliated the poor fawn.]] They called him cruel names and wouldn't let him play in their reindeer games. Even Santa himself acted incredibly jerkish towards him. Time soon passed, and a terrible storm engulfed the North Pole, not letting up even as Christmas Eve approached. Santa was close to cancelling the holiday altogether... until he realized something. He approached the now-adult Rudolph and asked, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" [[SavingChristmas And he did.]] With his nose piercing through the fog and mist, Rudolph led the way around the world and allowing Santa to deliver the presents on time. Christmas was saved, and the reindeer changed their attitude. They came to love him and cheered with glee, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would go down in history.
* Rudolph ascended to the Pantheon alongside Santa during one particular holiday season. A strong winter storm rolled over the entire Pantheon, causing mass concern over whether or not Christmas would come at all. All hope seemed lost, when, hidden in the fog and snow, a red light was spotted. The deities, both young and old, knew instantly who the light belonged to, with the younger ones cheering as Rudolph led Santa's sleigh through the blizzard, delivering presents as they went. Christmas had been saved once more, with Santa and Rudolph being given temples and titles within the Pantheon as thank you for their efforts.
** Santa and Rudolph share a temple, leading back to Christmas Town, better known as the North Pole. It is a quaint little area, with the Claus' and their elves living on the first castle on the left. '''[[note]]Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.[[/note]]''' The reindeer either live in the castle's stables or in the nearby caves. Business goes on as usual in preparations for December 24th, so should one ever visit, don't be surprised by all the elves and reindeer working and practicing.
* The version of Rudolph seen in the Pantheon hails from a [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer bizarre timeline]], where he, the son of Donner, ran away from home and travelled with an aspiring elf dentist named Hermey and Canadian prospector Yukon Cornelius to an island of misfit toys, confronting the Abominable Snow Monster, and eventually saving his family from said monster. However, his appearance tends to fluctuate from time to time; sometimes he looks like an adult and other times he reverts into a young fawn. As well, his origins are often thrown into question. Some claim he [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998 was born to Blitzen, and was rivals with his cousin, Arrow]], while others say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4b9Q7YdDdM his story was more simplistic.]] He will transform into these alternate forms occasionally, but he is most comfortable in his stop-motion body. Besides, it allowed for Hermey, Yukon and fellow reindeer Clarice to arrive as Heralds.
* Rudolph's love for Christmas is an absolute given and he was surprised to learn there were many other deities associated with the holidays living in the Pantheon. Luckily for him, most of them are on good terms with the reindeer. Besides the Santa and Mrs. Claus he's most familiar with, Rudolph came to work alongside the Guardian, Nicolas Saint North, the young idols Hijiri Mochizuki and Eve Santaclaus, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. They all do their duties to spread Christmas cheer and joy to the Pantheon and to the Worlds, with Rudolph always leading the way with his nose lighting the darkness.
** Initially, Rudolph had a difficult time trusting Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jack Skellington and The Grinch, due to their previous attempts to take over, sabotage or simply disregard Christmas altogether. Not to mention the latter two having dogs (Zero and Max) that they used in roles similar to reindeer. Then the young buck discovered their histories, learning how all three went through epiphanies and changed their ways to cherish the holiday season. Nowadays, Rudolph will occasionally enlist their help to spread Christmas cheer to the Pantheon... while keeping Jack from stealing the show.
* One Christmas Eve, Rudolph and Santa met three (former) homeless folks from Japan, named Gin, Hana and Miyuki, and witnessed their story of helping reunite an abandoned baby with her parents. Santa noted the trio's incredible luck on their journey and kindness to the child and decided to give them a place in the Pantheon.

* Ruben was an aspiring HeavyMetal drummer who played alongside his girlfriend, Lou, as a duo band known as Blackgammon. Despite being content and happy for their career and with their relationship, something suddenly derailed everything; Ruben started to face disorientation and later an inability to hear his surroundings or his own words, which meant that his musical career was demolished.

* Ruben's ascension into the Pantheon was a bittersweet one for him. While he did lose the drive to follow his personal passions for being a Metal drummer due to his sudden hearing loss, he has since come to terms with it and embraced the silence. What happened is unknown, but it is speculated that Ruben may have returned to Joe and the rural shelter where he took residence during rehabilitation and admitted that he found his place there. His knowledge about the Pantheon came through a mail that Joe received that was addressed to Ruben, which confirmed his entry and ascension to the new realm. He was initially quite nervous about it, given that his title was to represent his dreams being shattered by a handicap, a fact that was all too true for him. That said, Joe was fairly encouraging for Ruben to take up the mantle, thinking that this could help in raising awareness and support for the deaf community. This is what got Ruben to be motivated into contributing to the Pantheon, and though it may be a wholly different world compared to where he came from, he's stated that he'll try his best.
* Ruben has a mostly neutral feeling towards the Pantheon, mainly because there simply isn't any need for him to be participating in many of the larger events that are going on there and he instead chooses to remain where he is and make an attempt to better bond with those that he is familiar with, or have undergone a similar situation as he did. He does hope that one day, his story can be used as a learning experience for those who are undergoing angst and anxiety over being deaf, though such a task has proven to be quite difficult. He's been thinking about reaching out to conversing with the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods about the matter someday and it does upset him that he is not being responded to. That said, the Court would ''actually'' want to help Ruben out for his troubles, but they're currently caught up in one urgent situation and news to such an extent where they're in need of more members and contributors just to be able to be more open to others' problems and issues, Ruben included.
* Given his former profession, he has nothing but respect for the Hall of Pantheon/RockAndMetal and is more than open to showing them support if need be. That said, he doesn't really like being pitied too much as it's less on him and more on the fact that he couldn't play drums because he can't hear anymore[[note]]while Ruben can ''technically'' still drum, his inability to hear renders him unable to know ''what'' he's playing and if he's even being on tempo[[/note]]. He has been approached by Slipknot frontman, Corey Taylor, about how he's been struggling with his deafness, with Ruben stating that he's adapting to it and feels as if he's found a new version of himself. Corey, himself someone who's been through tough times and even advocates for a mental health organization, commends Ruben for being open about his experiences. Metallica has also been quite responsive and amicable to Ruben and is willing to help him out in advocating for deaf individuals. Ruben's story and experience also make for a song idea for Metallica, though they're putting the idea on hold for now.
* Ruben is also a figure of great interest in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} generally, though approaching him can be difficult given that, as aforementioned, Ruben doesn't really want to be pitied simply for not being able to hear and they would want to respect the way he wants to be treated like. That doesn't deter the fact that Ruben is an occasional visitor and is open to expressing his personal story of how music influenced his life and how it still impacts him, regardless of his disability. Some figures in the House are willing to visit and help out Ruben in getting adjusted in the Pantheon and he really does appreciate their gesture though he feels upset that he couldn't provide them with anything on his part. It also doesn't help matters that the House of Musicality feels too alien for Ruben due to his deafness and he obviously feels sad and angry about it. Even so, he feels as if showcasing this to everyone else wouldn't reflect well on him and hence, he tries to do his best to be optimistic and hopeful.
** Despite his angst over not being able to play drums, Ruben does express respect and camaraderie to fellow drummers, that is if they can get along with him. Energizer Bunny was one of them, who was eager to simply hang out with Ruben and even try to learn Sign Language as a way of better reaching out to him. On another note, the bunny is also planning a gift for him, which he intends to be a newly built cochlear implant made from the House of Pantheon/{{Science}} in the hopes that Ruben can finally get his hearing back. He currently doesn't know about this, and at the moment, it seems unsure whether he really does want his hearing back. While not a drummer per se, Ruben has a heavy dislike towards Terrence Fletcher, due to his teaching towards aspiring drummers being too hard-line to the point of abuse and cruelty. Oddly enough, Fletcher's verbal abuses don't have an effect on Ruben due to his deafness, much to the teacher's chagrin, while Ruben speculates that Fletcher is a pathetic man if verbal and physical abuse is what he would resort to regarding control. That, and because of Fletcher's obsession with jazz music, Ruben thinks that he wouldn't know just how complex and demanding drumming would be in Heavy Metal music.
* Given his deafness and his integration into a social group that he was forced to invest himself into, Ruben has made contact with deities like Shouya Ishida and Shouko Nishimiya. Ruben was surprised to hear of the duo's story, namely that Shouya was initially a bully to Shouko in their pre-school days simply for being deaf and mute, which later led to backlash and the ostracization for the former when the latter left school for this very reason. Since then, Shouya made an attempt to amend his mistakes, even learning sign language as a means to properly interact with her. Ruben found their tale heartwarming, though was upset to learn of the circumstances that led to their troubles, including both wanting to commit suicide at some point in their lives. Ruben has since been a frequent visitor for Shouya and Shouko and is willing to support them at any given time, whereas the duo reciprocates this with respect and an acceptance for a new company.
* Ruben choosing to return to the community shelter and making an attempt to reconnect with Joe and his peers has been welcomed by a couple of deities in the Pantheon who were also deaf or had to use sign language to communicate with others. One of them was a Teen Titan known as Joseph Wilson, who had his [[SlashedThroat throat slashed]]. He survives, only for his speech to be permanently disabled, which also factored in a shaky relationship between him and his father, [[Pantheon/NamingTheme Slade Wilson]], who also endured a nasty divorce. They bonded with one another after hearing how both of them got to where they were because of bad circumstances, though Ruben makes an attempt to not reference Joseph's troubles all too much, a gesture that the latter respected. Ruben also found an OddFriendship with Shizune Hakamichi, due to their [[IntergenerationalFriendship sizeable age gap]]. Shizune being deaf has helped in her and Ruben understanding one another's plight and her presence has been a kind one for she makes repeated attempts to see the bright side of things and to find a purpose in the Pantheon, to which Ruben responds that he's trying just that. On another note, Ruben's denial of wanting to be pitied, to Shizune at least, is quite reminiscent of Hanako Ikezaea.
* As someone who used to be a heavy consumer of heroin, Ruben does the best he could to keep his distance from them, knowing that going back to old habits would not just send him down into a destructive and addictive spiral, bit would also alienate him from the members of the community shelter and his newfound friends in the Pantheon. He's lucid enough to know how rock artists tend to have a compulsion in doing drugs, considering that he himself was a former drummer, but that's beside the point. Joe has had to reprimand Ruben to not think too much about his desires or else he could end up acting like a heroin addict once and he's taken the lesson to heart. With that in mind, Ruben tends to avoid any sort of drug dealer in the Pantheon, and by extension, he keeps himself a lot of distance away from the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions.
* While he can no longer pursue a romantic relationship with Lou due to differing priorities and a change in what they want in their future, Ruben still feels obligated to see her as an important figure in his life and expresses a need to keep in contact, hence how she ended up being one of his heralds in the Pantheon, with Lou herself being uncertain about playing musical gigs. The two sometimes meet up in the Hall of Pantheon/RomanticLoss, where they would share a cup of coffee and have a friendly discussion about what they've been going through. Some deities there pity the two, much to Ruben's annoyance who insists that he wants to be accepted for who he is currently, be it in his homeworld or in the Pantheon. Lou has once expressed the idea of playing music in the Hall as a form of entertainment, which she relented as doing so would be upsetting to Ruben if he were ever there. She hasn't told him this, primarily because he would see this as Lou pitying him and she wants to respect her former love's wishes.
* Though he doesn't like to show it off mainly because he doesn't want to look pitiful towards others, Ruben does have the capability to relate and empathize with others, especially when dreams are concerned. This led him to George and Lennie, who had a more simplistic dream of simply wanting a farm, only for the American Great Depression to influence a series of events that ended in tragedy for the two. Ruben knew that what George and Lennie went through must have been worse than his own, but that didn't stop Ruben from reaching out to George and Lennie. Given his own deafness and the duo's limited understanding of modern education, given that they were from the 1930s, communicating with them using sign language has proven to be difficult. George is open and appreciative of Ruben and feels sympathetic to his lost dream of wanting to pursue a musical career. However, Ruben keeps as much distance as he can from Lennie, as even if he doesn't mean any ill intent, he ends up killing whatever he can get into his palms as Curley's wife demonstrates, which does upset Lennie. George isn't offended by this, thankfully, and feels that it's his own responsibility to look after Lennie and prevent him from ever killing anyone.
** On a more personal note, Ruben found his angst over losing his musical drive and passion to be eerily similar to what Kaori Miyazono went through, even if she played the violin rather than drums. Kaori, much like Ruben, was an aspiring musician, however, she contracted a disease that took away her mobility at a slow rate and was terminal, meaning that she didn't have much time left to live. She used much of her remaining life to lead an active and excitable lifestyle and motivate a pianist whom she idolized, Kousei Arima, to return to what he excelled in the most. Ruben found her story to be quite upsetting, though held back in pitying her, instead complimenting Kaori for making the most in life, even if she passed way too early. Kaori personally doesn't mind, even appreciating Ruben for taking a few steps in wanting to lead a vibrant life in the Pantheon despite being in a state of total silence, and is eager to try learning some sign language to hang out with Ruben more, mainly because having to constantly write about her thoughts and feelings can be tedious, to Ruben's amusement. Kaori is also making some attempts in getting Ruben to meet Kousei at some point, but regardless, the two are on good terms with one another.
* It should be noted that while accepting his new condition and, as a result, the silence of not being able to hear, Ruben does sometimes feel sad over what he had to go through and tries to find a way to fend off his frustrations in others ways without having to resort to using heroin. In addition to Joe and the community shelter, Ruben has found himself being well-accommodated by the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}} and, when there, makes an active attempt at communicating with others about his experience of going deaf and how much it impacted his life. He seeks to do this not just to reach out to others and relate to their troubles, but also as a platform to help others who have been through the same experience as he himself did. Since then, Ruben has been happy to know that the Pantheon has given him an opportunity to turn his life around and aims to take advantage out of it, in addition to reflecting on what he's been through to help others.

* Ruben was an aspiring HeavyMetal drummer who played alongside his girlfriend, Lou, as a duo band known as Blackgammon. Despite being content and happy for their career and with their relationship, something suddenly derailed everything; Ruben started to face disorientation and later an inability to hear his surroundings or his own words, which meant that his musical career was demolished. After playing more performances and further ruining his hearing, Lou tells Ruben to get checked into getting help, with Ruben being sent to a rural shelter for deaf recovering addicts. He was mentored by Joe, who was also deaf due to his experiences in the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar. Initially wanting cochlear implants to regain his hearing, Ruben initially had difficulty in adjusting to his new environment, though he later began to appreciate the community as well and learned Sign Language. Later on, Ruben sells all of his equipment and home RV to buy a pair of cochlear implants, though this came at a cost of being discharged from the shelter after Joe noticed that Ruben was behaving like an addict regarding wanting his RV and possessions back at some point. Despite the sacrifices, Ruben found, to his disappointment, that his implants only produce distorted sound. A reunion and a duet performance with Lou and her father, Richard, in Paris did nothing to offer fulfillment as the former couple realized that they've grown too far apart after their separation. Only later on his own in a park, when he removed his implants, did Ruben find solace and comfort, in silence...
* Ruben's ascension into the Pantheon was a bittersweet one for him. While he did lose the drive to follow his personal passions for being a Metal drummer due to his sudden hearing loss, he has since come to terms with it and embraced the silence. What happened is unknown, but it is speculated that Ruben may have returned to Joe and the rural shelter where he took residence during rehabilitation and admitted that he found his place there. His knowledge about the Pantheon came through a mail that Joe received that was addressed to Ruben, which confirmed his entry and ascension to the new realm. He was initially quite nervous about it, given that his title was to represent his dreams being shattered by a handicap, a fact that was all too true for him. That said, Joe was fairly encouraging for Ruben to take up the mantle, thinking that this could help in raising awareness and support for the deaf community. This is what got Ruben to be motivated into contributing to the Pantheon, and though it may be a wholly different world compared to where he came from, he's stated that he'll try his best.
* Ruben has a mostly neutral feeling towards the Pantheon, mainly because there simply isn't any need for him to be participating in many of the larger events that are going on there and he instead chooses to remain where he is and make an attempt to better bond with those that he is familiar with, or have undergone a similar situation as he did. He does hope that one day, his story can be used as a learning experience for those who are undergoing angst and anxiety over being deaf, though such a task has proven to be quite difficult. He's been thinking about reaching out to conversing with the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods about the matter someday and it does upset him that he is not being responded to. That said, the Court would ''actually'' want to help Ruben out for his troubles, but they're currently caught up in one urgent situation and news to such an extent where they're in need of more members and contributors just to be able to be more open to others' problems and issues, Ruben included.
* Given his former profession, he has nothing but respect for the Hall of Pantheon/RockAndMetal and is more than open to showing them support if need be. That said, he doesn't really like being pitied too much as it's less on him and more on the fact that he couldn't play drums because he can't hear anymore[[note]]while Ruben can ''technically'' still drum, his inability to hear renders him unable to know ''what'' he's playing and if he's even being on tempo[[/note]]. He has been approached by Slipknot frontman, Corey Taylor, about how he's been struggling with his deafness, with Ruben stating that he's adapting to it and feels as if he's found a new version of himself. Corey, himself someone who's been through tough times and even advocates for a mental health organization, commends Ruben for being open about his experiences. Metallica has also been quite responsive and amicable to Ruben and is willing to help him out in advocating for deaf individuals. Ruben's story and experience also make for a song idea for Metallica, though they're putting the idea on hold for now.
* Ruben is also a figure of great interest in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} generally, though approaching him can be difficult given that, as aforementioned, Ruben doesn't really want to be pitied simply for not being able to hear and they would want to respect the way he wants to be treated like. That doesn't deter the fact that Ruben is an occasional visitor and is open to expressing his personal story of how music influenced his life and how it still impacts him, regardless of his disability. Some figures in the House are willing to visit and help out Ruben in getting adjusted in the Pantheon and he really does appreciate their gesture though he feels upset that he couldn't provide them with anything on his part. It also doesn't help matters that the House of Musicality feels too alien for Ruben due to his deafness and he obviously feels sad and angry about it. Even so, he feels as if showcasing this to everyone else wouldn't reflect well on him and hence, he tries to do his best to be optimistic and hopeful.
