Pantheon / Romantic Interest

Go To

As a continuation of the Pantheon split project, two Halls were created to give room for the Romance. One is this hall, and the other is the Hall of Love Interests.

The Hall of Romantic Interest is a place where one can go and see the many ways individuals can pursue their interests in romance or learn how the dynamics of love operate.

Naturally, any insults to their object of their affections will not end well for the offender.

Intermediate Gods

    Diane 
Diane, Goddess of Belated Love Epiphanies (Serpent's Sin of Envy, Matrona, Lady Diane, Diana, Giant Queen, Big Cutie)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diane_8.png
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: Her Serpent's Sin Tattoo
  • Theme Song: The Giants
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Belated Love Epiphany, Action Girl, Amnesiac Lover, Childhood Friend Romance, Cute Bruiser, Can control earth and metal, Can turn into metal, Wields a massive hammer called Gideon, Eternal Love, Giant Woman, Gentle Giant, Girlish Pigtails, Height Angst, Interspecies Romance
  • Domains: Giants, Memory Loss, Love, Earth, Metal
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Ten Commandments
  • Complicated Relationship with: The Greek/Roman Gods in general (although Gaea and Vulcan get along with her for the most part)
  • Opposes: Kratos
  • Opposed by: Most pig/boar deities
  • A member of the Giant Clan, Diane ran away at a young age due to her hatred of fighting. One day, Diane found an injured fairy named King lying unconscious on a riverbank and nursed him back to health. Having lost all memories of his past, a grateful King chose to stay with Diane and the two spent 500 years playing together. However, King's memories eventually returned and he erased her memories of him in order to protect her. After returning to the Giant Clan, Diane was trained by Matrona to become the strongest Giant warrior. However, the two were later lured into a ruse by the Knights of Liones, who were looking to gain reputation and prestige for killing Matrona. After being hit by a poisonous arrow that was about to hit Diane, Matrona used the last of her strength to take down the 330 knights. Diane was later captured by the Knights of Liones and was sentenced to capital punishment under the pretense of killing Matrona out of envy, along with the deaths of the 330 other Holy Knights in an attempt to silence all witnesses. However, Diane was saved at the last moment by Meliodas, whom she had met earlier, who gained legal custody over her. Some time after this, Diane officially became a member of the Seven Deadly Sins.
  • Diane originally ascended into the pantheon as a follower of William Baker/Sandman. When the gods heard her story about how she regained her memories of King shortly after he left and had lost them again by the time he returned, they strongly sympathized with her ordeal and, with the strong encouragement of Meliodas, decided to ascend her as a goddess.
  • Diane was very happy to be reunited with Meliodas, but also quickly denounced any rumors that she was still in love with him, making it clear that the return of her memories made her realize that her feelings of love had been misdirected towards Meliodas and were actually directed towards King. However, people have noticed that she sometimes inexplicably becomes a lot more clingy and possessive.
  • Diane strongly encourages the Sandman to abandon crime altogether whenever they meet. While he appreciates her efforts to have him embrace his more sympathetic side, his attempts at reforming ultimately never stick.
  • Having faced discrimination for being a Giant in the past, Diane strongly empathizes with Hagrid, who had faced similar discrimination for being a Half-Giant. Having expressed a desire of having children of her own one day, Diane likes to talk to Hagrid about his experiences in order to acquire an understanding of what kind of upbringing he had.
  • Diane gets along well with Wonder Woman, despite the latter having a giant woman, Giganta, as one of her longtime foes. Diane frequently visits her for guidance and counsel, and has also expressed a wish to visit Themyscira.
  • She is quite impressed by Toph's earthbending and metalbending talent and the two share a mutual respect. Diane has occasionally visited Toph in order to take some lessons from her.
  • Diane often hangs out with the Iron Giant, relating to his desire to not be used as a weapon. She finds his peaceful nature and idealism to be very inspiring. She also likes to spend time with Steven Universe, much to his joy, since he's attracted to giant women. She quite enjoys his "Giant Woman" song.
  • Most of the Greek/Roman Gods are rather wary of her, as they had fought a war against giants in the past. The only exceptions are Gaea, who is the mother of her world's giants, and Vulcan, who had been aided by the cyclopes at his forge.
  • Diane opposes Kratos, as he has quite a bit of experience killing foes much larger than himself. Her being on good terms with Gaea doesn't help.
  • Due to her fear of insects, she avoids the House of Insects like the plague. She is also opposed by many of the Pantheon's pigs/boars as her favourite food is pork.
  • Diane has noticed that her voice sometimes sounds like those of Spider-Gwen, Futaba Sakura and Tsuyu Asui, and other times sounds like those of Aladdin, Atsuko "Akko" Kagari and Ryuko Matoi. After getting over the initial weirdness, she managed to successfully befriend all of them.

    Juvia Lockser 
Juvia Lockser, Goddess of Love at First Sight (Juvia of The Deep, Rain Woman, Juvia of the Great Sea)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b33babfa_0e26_44ae_aef3_b920b8be6678.png
  • Intermediate Goddess (Greater Goddess if significantly pissed off)
  • Theme Song: Juvia of the Great Sea (battle theme), Aria
  • Symbol: A Gray plushie surrounded by a myriad of Teru Teru Bozu.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (formerly Neutral Evil)
  • Portfolio: Falling in love with Gray with a glance, Dogged Nice Girl, Unleashing hell on those who would harm Gray and subsequently envious of those who would even think of getting near him, Making a Splash, Being able to transform into water, the only one in her unit to turn good, Unconsciously shipping others via her own hallucinations
  • Domains: Love, Water, Anger
  • Allies: Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel, Erza Scarlet, Gajeel Redfox, Cana Alberona, Gildartz Clive, Wendy Marvell, Touka Kirishima, Nyarko, Mele, Hinata Hyuga
  • One-sided Rivalry With: Lucy Heartfilia (friendly), And Chelia (inverted)
  • Enemies: Anyone who would harm Gray (with Esdeath on top of that list), Yuuki Terumi
  • Ascended after hearing about Gray's ascension. She immediately attempted to find her way in the pantheon, insisting that she get a house near Gray. However, the Main House said she was better for the House of Love and she immediately went with it.
    • Some of her first-time followers are a bit taken aback by the large amount of Gray memorabilia in a corner of her temple, but are quickly assured that it's fine. She also spends two or three days in a month cleaning up Gray's temple herself.
  • Is none too pleased at finding that Gray is popular with other women. Luckily she won't go into crazy extremes like Kotonoha. She'll prank them though.
  • She once almost immediately accused Lucy Heartfilia of being one of those people much to latter's dismay. She's gotten a bit better though. But pretty much anyone who tries to either flirt/harm Grey is going to unleash her wrath to the point that she can scare Erza Scarlet. Thus, this has been decreed the sixth dumbest thing to do as confirmed by the Main House.
  • With her ascension it's rumored that the GUAG will form a new unit in order to directly oppose the Yandere Quartet. Though it's mostly because Nyarko wants to form a Sentai unit of her own. Juvia will only be interested if it involves Gray somehow. It was eventually successful. It was sort of successful on opposing them, even if Yuno herself took her own team down.
  • After hearing that Terumi was responsible for Gray's brief stint as a stripper, she went quiet. Sometime later, Terumi's house was flooded.
  • It's noted that she sounds like Rena Ryuuguu on one hand and Yuno Gasai on the other hand.
  • Had a bit of a moment when she was in the House of Friendship, due to the fact that she never had lots of friends due to her powers (and subsequently making a myriad of Teru-Teru Bōzu). Her cries turned into a gentle rain though.
    • However be careful if she goes into Ocular Gushers mode: if she cries hard enough everyone within a five foot radius will be swept away.
  • She is wary of KISS, remembering the time she was brainwashed by a KISS look-a-like. They have made explicitly clear to her that they wouldn't harm her anyway.
  • She gets along rather well with Hinata. As they have a lot in common. They even inspired each other to make scarves for their beloved.
  • Breaking Speeches do not work on her for the last guy who tried, she ripped apart from the inside.
  • Since discovering the "thirst" meme on the Internet, she knows very well the irony of a water mage like her being very thirsty for someone (i.e. GRAY). She pays it forward by going to the temples of Ainz Ooal Gown (to talk to Albedo) and Anna Nishikinomiya to ensure they don't cross a line into Yandere-ness. (She does refuse the complimetary cookies at Anna's temple, though.)
  • After hearing of Gray's battle against Esdeath and his demise at her hands, the Imperial General has become a primary adversary, but has been told (by Gray himself) to not engage her alone since if Esdeath could defeat him, Juvia would be far less of a problem for her.
  • "Drip, drop... drip, drop..."

    Tsubaki Yayoi 
Tsubaki Yayoi, Goddess of One-Person Love (Izayoi)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbdw_tsubaki.png
Izayoi
  • Intermediate Goddess (Greater Goddess as Izayoi)
  • Theme Music: Condemnation Wings normally, becomes Justice Sword when she transforms into Izayoi.
  • Symbol: Her Sealed Weapon Izayoi on her emblem (Tsubaki Yayoi), Her sword on her emblem (Izayoi).
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral; As Izayoi, Lawful Revolving Door.
  • Portfolio: Hero-Worshipper, Pitiful People, Being used as a metaphorical punching bag, Fiery Redhead, Lady of War, Not-So-Good Light Strength, Clingy Jealous Girl, Dark expy of Ky Kiske, Being controlled by others (and breaking it), Swords That Can Kill Anything.
  • Domain: Love, War, Heroism
  • Allies: Jin Kisaragi (though she wants it to be more), Reika Aoki, Hakumen, Noel Vermillion (After a bit of persuading), Makoto Nanaya, Cecil Harvey, Ky Kiske, Kain Highwind, Yukiko Amagi, Robin, Aki Izayoi, Mashiro Moritaka, Cherry
  • Enemies: Yuuki Terumi (after being finally told of the truth), Handsome Jack.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Ragna the Bloodedge
  • Formerly a follower of Parsee Mizuhashi (she technically still kinda), she used to follow Terumi and the GUAE all because Noel took away things she desired. It took the efforts of Edward Elric (who pointed out her hypocrisy of calling him and Noel sinners she claims the latter took away the opportunity to be with Jin and accusing the former supporting the "couple," when she herself claimed to serve justice in the GUAE under the effects of the Mind Eater), to bring her back to the GUAG. When she was told of the evils of Terumi and GUAE and how it corrupted NOL, Tsubaki finally knew what she had to do and aligned to the position of her dreams: Heroes.
    • Still, like Litchi, she is to be put in the Token Evil Teammates quarters until there is a clear message about her Heel–Face Turn. Tsubaki didn't mind and considered it her atonement for being that much of a jealous girl. Noel, Makoto, Jin and Hakumen at least visit her a lot. Fortunately, she managed to graduate with flying colors and be accepted to the normal Pantheon in good graces again.
  • Good or evil, there'a one thing that's constant. Her red hair is still gorgeous.
    • That being said, her appearance reminds Naruto Uzumaki about his mother minus the graceful personality she has.
  • Occasionally Thinks Like a Romance Novel, something which many Gods would mock her over due to utter naiveness. Well they don't say it in front of Jin or Hakumen, though...
  • Is a member of the GUAG Five Sacred Knights.
  • Once seen pictures of Jin with another girl by the name of Aoki Reika. Needless to say, she was jealous until Aoki corrected her that she has the same powers as him, and the two became friends.
  • Has been able to unlock the full power of the Sealed Armagus: Izayoi.
  • One thing has been discovered about Tsubaki... She hates Ragna. Reasonings may look complicated, but she still blames him for the misfortunes happening to her circle of friends. Not even her redemption removes that aspect of hers. She eventually realized that Ragna is just as much of a victim as her friends are, though she still makes it clear that she doesn't like him.
  • Has reformed The 3 Stooges of Torifune, a comedy troupe Tsubaki, Noel and Makoto formed during their school days.
  • She has become enemies with Handsome Jack. He hates her because her voice sounds similar to one of his sworn enemies, and she hates him because he's as big of a jerk as Terumi.
  • Is rather close to Robin, due to the fact she reminds him/her greatly of one of the Shepherds, Cordelia. She's also rather grateful Robin has offered to help pair up her and Jin, though she sometimes gets a little uncomfortable when Robin starts to sound like Jin.

Lesser Gods

    Alibaba Saluja 
Alibaba Saluja, God of Love Revelation Epiphanies (Wonder Man Alibaba, Alibaba the Wonder)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alibaba_saluja.png
  • Rank: Lesser God, Intermediate God with his vessel
  • Theme Song: One Step Further
  • Symbol: His Metal Vessel, which holds Amon
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold, Having a fire based Djinn, Master Swordsman, Super-Reflexes, Warrior Prince, Heroic and Manipulative Bastard, Wields Amon, All-Loving Hero, Butt-Monkey, Wide-Eyed Idealist, Wise Beyond His Years
  • Domains: Fire, Royalty, Love, Chosen Ones
  • Allies: Aladdin (Magi), Morgiana (his wife), Ren Hakuryuu, Ugo, Scheherazade, Issei Hyodo, Natsu Dragneel, Senku Ishigami, Josuke Higashikata, Jon Snow, Alistar Theirin, Naruto Uzumaki, Jaune Arc, Lelouch vi Britannia, Zuko, Oliver, all benevolent Aladdin deities, Sonic the Hedgehog, Naofumi's Party, all benevolent Avatar deities
  • Enemies: Ren Gyokuen, Quan Chi, Eric Cartman, Jafar, Erazor Djinn
  • Alibaba is third prince of Balbadd and the king's illegitimate son, who fled the city after a major disaster at the castle that he was responsible for. Joining Aladdin during his journey in the hopes of becoming rich through Dungeon Crawling, Alibaba would also free his future love interest Morgiana from slavery and eventually free Balbadd from his tyrannical half-brother's rule, establishing a republic before joining his friends in the fight against Al-Thamen.
  • He finally made his ascension after searching for a trope, which turned out to be Love Revelation Epiphany because once he learned about Morgiana's feelings for him, he began to see her in a new light and the two slowly started to become a romantic couple. His friends were overjoyed after hearing of journey to the pantheon. He also decided to wait after he got a girlfriend before his ascension. He was overjoyed when Morgiana accepted his proposal, and after their journey was over, finally get married.
  • Many were surprised to see him still alive after hearing he was "killed" by Hakuryuu. They were more shocked to find out how he survived, by successfully reconstituting himself into a form composed only of his own consciousness. Many praised his determination and willpower, especially Senku Ishigami, who was petrified for many years and managed to keep himself conscious until he finally freed himself.
  • Jon Snow and Alibaba formed a kinship with one another after seeing how much they had in common, being Warrior Princes with impressive swordsmanship, illegitimate children of monarchs, and falling in love with redheads. Even though Alibaba is more idealistic than Snow currently is, Snow still respects him as a warrior, prince, and a friend, promising to have his back in their time of need.
  • Alistar and Alibaba despite having numerous differences, became quick friends not long after meeting each other. Alistar was rather surprised that Alibaba didn't take the throne of Balbadd, but he does support his decision to make it a republic. He also supports Alibaba's relationship with Morgiana after seeing how close they are and promising to help them whenever they need it. Alibaba in turn was rather that Alistar was aware of his heritage, unlike him, but he does support him after seeing just how good he is as a ruler.
  • Josuke was an illegitimate child who initially had a strained relationship with his father since the latter wasn't around for him and his mother. Josuke and Alibaba quickly became friends after hearing of each other's struggles, and tend to hold training sessions when they need to master their skills and power. Alibaba disapproves of Josuke's money-making sessions, considering how he put himself through severe debt after stealing the royal treasure, but otherwise trusts him as a comrade and a friend.
  • Despite being an illegitimate child like him, Alibaba is downright shocked to see how vile and crude Eric Cartman is, even more so after discovering how he grounded up a couple into chili and tricked their son into eating it. Alibaba is absolutely repulsed by Cartman's atrocities, coming to see him as an enemy he needs to fight and get rid of. Cartman in turn mocks Alibaba's actions from before meeting Aladdin and even laughs at his attempts to prove himself a real man.
  • Gets along very well with both Naruto and Jaune since they were both initially oblivious to love. In their case however, they learned about the girl's feelings for them through different means (Naruto when he sees Hinata's memories and feelings for him, Jaune when Pyrhha kisses him). While both Naurto and Alibaba congratulate each other for finding the girl of their dreams, they both expressed sympathy for Jaune for losing Pyrhha so after learning of her feelings. Naruto and Alibaba admit they would be heartbroken if something should happen to Hinata and Morgiana, with Naruto outright noting he almost lost hope when Hinata rejected him while Alibaba was blackmailed into an arranged marriage with Kougyoku.
  • Alibaba felt great sympathy for both Lelouch and Zuko, princes who had been exiled by their cruel fathers and eventually decided to rebel against their tyranny by helping their enemies. Though Alibaba congragulates Zuko for suceeding his father as Fire Lord and becoming a better ruler than him, he felt sad when he learned that Lelouch became a tyrant in order to unite the world and thus ensure peace through his death. Both of them actually admit that Alibaba's method of establishing a republic was probably the best idea possible between them, especially in Zuko's case since in his world, Prince Wu decided to change the monarchy of the Earth Kingdom with into a democratic nation instead.
  • Oliver had explored a world that had a kingdom that was similar to the world Alibiba came from. Alibaba got along quickly with Oliver after hearing of his adventures, showing sympathy for him after learning of what happened to his mother, and was quite interested in his magic. Alibaba was also quite surprised to see Oliver's genie, Al-Khemi, who basically uses alchemy to create food or items for Oliver.
  • Became quick friends with Aladdin and his friends from Agrabah, though he was also quite surprised to learn that Aladdin used a name that sounded similar to his while he impersonated a prince. He was impressed by Aladdin's feats despite being a normal human, found Genie's behavior a little bizarre after meeting him for the first time, and seemed a little amused by Iago's behavior. That said, Alibaba also sympathized with Aladdin after learning of his past as a Street Urchin, and how he was treated by snobbish people.
  • Alibaba had nothing but contempt for the likes of Jafar (a man obsessed with power to the point he was tricked into becoming a lamp-bound genie) and Erazor Djinn (a vile genie that sought to remake his world in his own image). He was also disgusted by the way they treated Jasmine and Shahra, since it reminds him of how Morgiana was enslaved back in their world. He usually teams up with Aladdin and Sonic the Hedgehog to fight them if they ever become a threat.
  • When he first heard about Naofumi having slaves for his party, Alibaba was initially shocked and thought Naofumi was another slave master in the Pantheon and confronted him about it. Morgiana and Raphtalia had to calmly explain the situation to him and when Alibaba heard about the full circumstances, why Raphtalia and Filo prefer to be his slaves, and that Naofumi treats them very kindly, Alibaba apologizes for jumping to conclusions and though he doesn't fully approve, he does acknowledge that Naofumi is a good guy and becomes a trustworthy ally to him.
  • Both Avatars Aang and Korra were impressed by Alibaba's accomplishments, especially when he founded a republic in place of a kingdom after deposing a tyrant. This reminded Korra of when Prince Wu decided to abolish the monarchy of the Earth Kingdom and turn it into a democratic nation where the people chose their own leaders. They were also chosen ones just like them, but the only difference is that fate itself chose Aang and Korra while Alibaba was chosen by Aladdin.
  • Alibaba is on good terms with Scheherazade, since he, like Aladdin, also admires her for inventing the Scheherezade Gambit and also respects her loyalty to her people. Not to mention she was also a good ally to him and his friends when they met. That said, he doesn't like how she ignores the plight if it means saving her own instead. The version of Scheherazade in the Pantheon was horrified by her Magi incarnation's actions, vowing with Aladdin to never become that kind of person, so Alibaba is willing to give her the chance to prove herself.

    Honoka Mitsui 
Honoka Mitsui, Patron Saint of Teenage Infatuation
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/honoka_mitsui.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: The First High School symbol
  • Theme Song: "Kirari ☆ One Way Love"
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Smitten Teenage Girl, The Cutie, Not Much of a Fighter But Wants to Be, Undying Loyalty on a Genetic Level, Nice Girl, Light Manipulation, Hidden Buxom
  • Domains: Love, Submissiveness, Kindness, Self-esteem Issues
  • Herald: Shizuku Kitayama (her best friend)
  • High Priestess: Chiho Sasaki
  • Followers: Airi Sakura, Luluco, Susan and Mary Test, Meilin Lee
  • Allies: Akame, Miia, Mayuri, Princess Zelda, Prism Cherry, Ordis
  • Enemies: Chernabog, Zed, Makuta Teridax, The House of Tainted Love (except Erina Joestar)
  • Conflicting Opinion: Monika
  • Honoka gained fame across the Pantheon for her love towards Tatsuya Shiba. To clarify, she fell in love with him even when she knew nothing about him other than he was handsome and competent. For the most part, her series treated her crush in a positive manner, but there were times where Honoka wondered if she even had a chance with Tatsuya. Acknowledging such character trait, the Court of the Gods allowed her ascension.
    • The reason for her crush on Tatsuya was later explained as part of her genetic makeup. Honoka is descended from the Elements, the first kind of magicians to exist in her native Japan. The Elements lived in a time where discrimination against magic was rampant; thus, to ensure they wouldn't be a threat to society, the Elements allowed the government to modify their genetic structure to ensure loyalty to their leaders. The Elements' descendants inherited such genetic loyalty, which was often greater when expressed towards someone of the opposite gender; in Honoka's case, Tatsuya.
  • Befriended Akame, Miia and Mayuri after discovering they had the same Japanese voice. To be more specific, she got along swimmingly with Mayuri, especially after hearing of her Heroic Sacrifice to protect Shido. She gets a bit creeped out by Akame's assassin skills and the extremes Miia often goes to in order to protect her "Darling", but at least she knows their hearts are in the right place.
  • Sees Princess Zelda as a mentor in the ways of magic. Her calm demeanor and lifelong wisdom reminds Honoka of her friend Miyuki. Zelda, in turn, sees much of herself in Honoka, particularly in how her feelings for Tatsuya are not too different from her own feelings towards Link.
  • Naturally opposed to the deities of Tainted Love, seeing them as what could happen to her if her love for Tatsuya made her lose her sense of perspective.
    • Still, Monika falls in something of a gray area for Honoka. While she doesn't approve of the lengths Monik is willing to go for (Insert Name Here)'s affections; she does admit the knowledge if being a fictional character in a fictional world where her life is taken to a backseat would drive her to the deep end too. Even so, Honoka keeps away from her as much as she can.
  • Prism Cherry became acquainted with Honoka after hearing of her light-based powers, especially when she used her magic as an improvised flashbang to win the Battle Board competition. Since then, Cherry trained Honoka in how to use her light magic in terms of defense. That, unfortunately, has earned Honoka the enmity of evil deities who use darkness magic such as Chernabog, Zed and Makuta Teridax.
  • After hearing of Honoka's Hidden Buxom, Katsuragi has made attempts to grope her. Having learned from experience, Honoka is quick to cast illusions and high-intensity flares to disorient Katsuragi and make a run for it. So far, it's proven effective.
  • Unexpectedly became friends with Ordis after he got wind of her genetic loyalty towards Tatsuya, seeing it as no different from his own loyalty towards his Operator. In his spare time, when not helping his Operator, Ordis helps Honoka further her illusions and light magic. There is a possibility that he might try to replicate Mirage's Prism ability.
  • Has an additional temple in the Hall of Teenagers.

    Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug and Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir 
Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, Patron Saints of Love Dynamics Between Civilian and Secret Identities (Collectively: The Love Square) (Marinette: Miraculous Ladybug, Ladybug, My lady, Little Lady, Mari, Bugaboo, Princess, Bridgette, Marino Lady Noir) (Adrien: Adrikins, Cat Noir, Chat Noir, Chat, Chaton, Tom Cat, Kitty, Kitten, Felix, Cat Walker, Mister Bug, Aspik, Cat Blanc, Ephemeral)

  • One day, a black butterfly came in the Pantheon and infected Full Frontal, and he went on a rampage after Zechs Marquise, Herald of Char Aznable. He was shortly stopped and the butterfly was removed and magically contained. The "Akuma" was then analyzed by the SCP Foundation* and the House of Knowledge traced its origins to a version of Paris under the protection of two young vigilante heroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir. They also analyzed these heroes as well as their civilian identities, Marinette and Adrien, and it became apparent that the duo doesn't know each other's alter egos (at Ladybug's insistence). Also, their love dynamic was interesting enough that they were invited to the Pantheon, also keeping in mind the masquerade they uphold even on each other.
    • The following ascension ceremony (as Marinette and Adrien) was interrupted however when another deity ended up akumatized. This time, the victim was one of the attendees, Dan, who was just about to start yet another vengeance scheme on somebody, and his resulting rampage was much wilder than normal. Immediately, the deities split off, found someplace to hide, and transformed into Ladybug and Cat Noir. The akumatized Dan was much more powerful than expected, thus the two new arrivals'…arrival was welcomed by the already-ascended heroes of the Pantheon as they worked on stopping him. Eventually, Dan was de-akumatized, and so was the butterfly that did it. And then, Ladybug used her Miraculous powers to restore the damage done in the fight. After the new heroes left to turn back, the ceremony was resumed. That said, Marinette and Adrien are baffled with their new title, though.
    • After their official ascension, akumatized victims have dropped to zero after the Court of the Gods managed to close down on their creator, Hawk Moth, and shut him out of the Pantheon. Of course, Melkor has already taken interest in him and has plans to ascend him one day.
  • Applies to both:
    • Given that it's only a matter of time, even if it might take them another season of three, the Court of the Gods decided that in the event Ladybug and Cat Noir expose their identities to each other (by choice or by circumstances), they'll still be allowed to stay in the Pantheon (as the trope they represent is still the most prevalent out of all other potential candidates).
    • In addition, the Court imposed a rule that everyone is to keep the duo's secret identities from each other and let the two figure them out for themselves. Because of that, some just can't help but bang their heads against the wall as to how obvious who they are underneath the masks. Then again, most are seeing it through the lens of the audience (who have the privilege of knowing both identities); the secrets are understandably more effective to a perspective not in the know.
      • Being the chaotic douchebag that he is, Deadpool ignored this rule and told them who they are in classic Deadpool fashion. The Court of the Gods went into full panic mode, had the Men in Black quickly neuralyze them of the incident, and punished Deadpool for it (not that he gives a damn). Stricter warnings have been given to the likes of Trollkaiger and Itazura Griefers, who are the most likely to break the masquerade just because.
      • Speaking of those two, among pranks they pull (but no identity-compromising ones), one particular one they do is implying that Hawk Moth might be Adrien's father. Of course, neither want to hear of that, especially Adrien. Unbeknownst to the trolling groups, they were closer to the truth than they realize.
      • After the events of "Catalyst" and "Mayura", there was finally a good reason to keep the secret up; emotional impact. Rena Rouge and Carapace's concern for each other (since they know one another's identities) ended up getting them both akumatized in that climactic battle, and Queen Bee's civilian identity being public knowledge meant Hawk Moth knew exactly who to use to catch her off guard; her family. As a result, the good guys have backed down and will let the show run its course. On the other end, though, the bad guys ironically saw this as a reason to try and spill the beans, even if the Court would just revert all of that.
    • Many agree that watching Ladybug and Cat Noir flirting and waiting for the "Will They or Won't They?" moment is better than any soap operas they ever watched. And there was a lot of cheering when Marinette finally kissed Adrien at the end of Season 2. Well, on the cheek, but still.
    • Due to the existence of magic as well as other means of sight, their Kwamis' secrecy isn't as paramount as before and can be passed off as magical companions such as Luna, Kero, and other Mascot Characters. That said, another secret-keeping was mandated so neither Adrien discovers Tikki nor Marinette discovers Plagg with Adrien (she's already seen Plagg on his own once before), and this is also enforced by the Court of the Gods and the Kwamis themselves.
    • Their masks are bound by magic, so pulling them off is impossible.
    • Widowmaker one day went to their Paris under a Talon operation to assassinate Mayor André Bourgeois, but her gun was yanked by Ladybug's yoyo and was hit in the head by Chat Noir's baton while Chat Noir's Cataclysm rotted her gun with just one touch. Sadly, she escaped using a smoke bomb.
      • Tracer, knowing that Widowmaker won't stop until her target is dead, teamed up with the Parisian heroes to find her. Tracer easily befriended them and was very amused with Cat Noir's attempt of flirting with his partner (she had to tell him that she's already off the market, though).
    • Due to them still being young on the hero business, many veterans have decided to mentor them:
      • Superman taught them how to fight villains without causing too much Collateral Damage (because Ladybug's Miraculous powers don't [yet] work on damage not done by akumatized victims), and Batman taught them how to fight strategically.
      • Spider-Man taught Ladybug how to use yo-yo in more creative ways and swing more effectively with it. He also praised her goals to keep a "professional" relationship with Cat Noir (even though he hopes for the day the two find out who they really are underneath the masks).
      • Daredevil taught Cat Noir more efficient ways to use his Cataclysm power (via claw attack training), and Nightwing taught him advanced staff combat.
      • Outside her hero work, being an aspiring fashion designer, she's garnered the attention of Rarity and Erika Kurumi, who both begun to tutor her and soon the three were exchanging ideas.
    • Upon hearing of the crap the Phantom Thieves of Hearts gone through and how their Personas awakened, both Cat Noir and Ladybug could only say that the crew were lucky Hawk Moth wasn't there; it would've been too easy for him to akumatize any of them (or any of their targets' victims, really, in the Crapsack World it was before Yaldabaoth's defeat).
      • Speaking of the Phantom Thieves, Cat Noir could swear he sometimes hear Plagg's voice from Ryuji.
      • After hearing of Adrien's father, Ren and co. wonder if they can offer to reform Gabriel Agreste by going into his Palace just like they did with Makoto's sister Sae. However, there are 3 reasons why they haven't yet. 1) Gabriel's secrets could be important for future events since he is actually Hawk Moth. 2) If Adrien's idea of a rebel ends up making his thief outfit similar to his Cat Noir identity (if he even awakens a Persona at all), it can cause some confusion. 3) That would be a dead giveaway to Marinette, (even if he can explain it away as being someone who looks up to Cat Noir a lot, it's still very risky).
    • As a duo themed between Creation and Destruction, they drew quite a bit of attention.
      • The first were from Xerneas and Yveltal, Legendary Pokémon both themed around the balance between these, and are even their "envoys" in an alternate world. Xerneas wishes Ladybug luck and finds her World-Healing Wave interesting (though its limited use saddens him), while Yveltal is glad to see Cat Noir using powers of destruction for good purposes, though is worries by the several times he got brainwashed and nearly killed Ladybug with his Cataclysm. As for Zygarde, it has reserved its opinion for now.
      • Next were the Firebird and the Spring Sprite. Hearing of someone who can undo damage (even though it's limited for now) pissed him off and went after Ladybug, but Yveltal got in his way, sent him packing, and the Spring Sprite restored the Firebird's destruction, leaving the two heroes in awe. Ladybug, in particular, hopes her Miraculous powers can do more than just do damage from akumatized victims.
    • The duo's experiences with Rogercop have left the two uncomfortable with high-tech officers with eye-obscuring visors like Robocop and Judge Dredd, and they can occasionally end up at odds with the latter should they decide to screw the rules to do right while he's around.
    • Dark Cupid's shenanigans have soured their opinion on those who propagate Hate Plagues like the Dazzlings.
    • Their dealings with Robostus have also made them more aware of what the GUAM might do and they warn that if Hawk Moth ever ascends, not even mechanical deities are safe from his Akumas.
    • A pair of GP Bases and a Gunpla resembling the mecha used against Gamer have been prepared for Marinette and Adrien, but Sei Iori only plans to present it to them when the two finally know each others' real identities; gifting these early would risk giving them hints as to who they secretly are.
    • Due to having similar scenarios (superheroes in high school who fight monsters based off of fellow students), Gentaro has decided to befriend the two, which involved taking both Marinette and Adrien to the Kamen Rider Club and on the moon. The two were absolutely delighted and hope that—as Ladybug and Cat Noir—they can help Fourze befriend others.
    • As of late, potions have been cooked up* that the Kwamis can consume that beef up their powers. So far, their seen powers are as follows:
      • One is a "water" mode that gives them fins and allows them to fight underwater.
      • Another is an "ice" mode that gives them ice skates and added insulation against the cold.
    • Occasionally, the pair will receive a visit from a very Unlucky individual named Qrow. At first, he was only seeking a way to counteract his constant bad luck, but he soon learned that their specific powers couldn’t help with his exact situation. However, Ladybug respected him for his drive to do good and protect his family. Meanwhile, Chat sympathized and pitied his near-constant bad luck, regretting that his powers would only make everything worse. Qrow just comments that at least he can turn it off. And in the event that Cat Noir is unavailable or elsewhere, Ladybug's good luck can counteract Qrow's Semblance when they work together.
    • Some of the more impatient members of the House of Time and Temporality, tired of waiting for them to finally figure it out, decided to peer into their universe and see if there is any timeline where they get together. To their joy, they discovered there was one where Adrien pieced together Marinette's identity due to a slip-up and they reciprocated. Then their joy turned to horror at how terribly it turned out and everything that happened as a result, thanks to Hawk Moth attempting to ruin their relationship so he could akumatize Marinette, but was foiled by Cat Noir, in the process discovering that Cat Noir was his son, then changing his plan revealing himself as Gabriel and his true motivation of bringing back Adrien's mother from her coma, causing Adrien so much despair that he akumatized into Cat Blanc, and in his conflicted madness, accidentally killed both Ladybug and Hawk Moth in a Mega Cataclysm, destroying all of Paris and the moon, then later, when Ladybug attempted to fix it, nearly erased the entire universe. Thankfully, that timeline was erased by Ladybug, with the aid of a time travelling superhero, Bunnyx. It was then collectively decided to just wait for it to happen naturally, as nobody wants to risk repeating the events that transpired.
  • Exclusive to Marinette:
    • Tony Stark, after the Civil War incident, wanted to prevent collateral damage and was amazed at Ladybug's power to repair any damage in the environment after a battle with an enemy. He was saddened when Marinette told him that for now she can only fixes damage caused between her (and Cat Noir) and akumatized villains. Still, Tony has a spot open for her.
    • After a visit to the Magical Girl Sisterhood (which she and Cat Noir don't plan on joining; they plan on going to the Superhero Division instead), she got to know another designer by the name of Tomoyo Daidouji. Marinette expresses some concern for her, as Tomoyo's willingness to expose herself to danger just to catch Sakura in action (even though she now has less risky ways to do so) reminds her of the couple of times her own friend Alya did the same thing for the sake of her Ladyblog. And just like Alya, Tomoyo also has limited access to magical powers, though unlike the blogger (who's limited by Ladybug herself) she's limited by specific areas.
    • Ladybug turns out to be a Legacy Hero, as her Kawmi Tikki has served several other Ladybugs (including Joan of Arc and Hippolyta) for more than 5000 years before Marinette. It is generally assumed the same goes for Cat Noir.
    • Having been victims of bullying, Sabrina (who still sort of is with Libby around) and Max know what it's like. Marinette's bully Chloé Bourgeois (which Max is a bit miffed with since she shares the same name as her best friend/herald Chloe Price) reminds the time-travelling girl a bit about her own school's high-class bullies, Victoria Chase and Nathan Prescott. But her Character Development and eventually becoming a (temporary) Miraculous-user complicated Max's opinion.
      • Speaking of bullies, Marinette doesn't feel comfortable around the Bully Hunter Jimmy Hopkins; she knows he means well, but physically beating up bullies doesn't feel right and wouldn't wish it on hers. As for his former High Priestess, Matilda Wormwood, she admits to not having the same issues as telekinesis has a lot more uses.
    • Due to her uncle having been akumatized after his food was sabotaged in a cooking contest, Marinette loathes those who would do the same to anyone's. She would also intervene whenever Mystery Food X ends up being served, not wanting anybody to suffer the same fate of tasting something terrible, putting her at odds with the girls of the Investigation Team (except Naoto).
    • Marinette turns out to be really good at fighting games, to the surprise of those whom she challenges.
    • As of late, Marinette has recently divulged her identity of Ladybug as Alya which has made her much more relaxed about keeping her identity a secret.
    • In regards to familiar voices...
      • Marinette was intimidated and repulsed by Homura for two reasons. 1) Her time powers are a sore reminder of Timebreaker, and 2) she deems the measures Homura has pulled in order to protect Madoka from Kyubey rather... excessive. Though if nothing else, at least she did what she did out of love: that's more than she can say about the likes of Hawk Moth. Speaking of Kyubey, she would like to find out if he could be "de-evilized", but he's not small enough for her yo-yo.
      • Her meeting with Nanoha while visiting the Magical Girl Sisterhood was cordial enough, though the overwhelming power the Raising Heart's wielder possesses was intimidating. Rei Hino/Sailor Mars was also sort-of intimidating, but for different reasons, and it wasn't as bad either.
      • Despite her alarming amount of weaponry, Alisa Bosconovitch's charms had enough sway over Ladybug that they can be allies, though the Safe Mode is a little concerning.
      • Isn't sure what to say about Shantae's style choice, but the half-genie is happy to fight alongside her if need be.
  • Exclusive to Adrien:
    • Many eyes (and noses) are drawn to Adrien's tendency to order lots of cheese, particularly the smelly Camembert. That's because his Kwami Plagg scarfs them down a lot.
    • It doesn't matter if you're a bird, an alien, or a pegasus; Adrien always tries his best to stay away lest he get a sneezing fit. Unfortunately, this means he's less helpful when fighting any of the Pantheon's Feathered Fiends.
    • Despite being hair clips and a belt (the latter of which he's taken off at least twice for Ladybug's plans), they sometimes move just like a real cat's ears and tail.
    • Adrien is not happy with the notion that if you are dressed with a cat theme you are automatically a cat burglar or a villain. Which is why he holds Black Cat and Catwoman with much contempt and wants to put them away for good. As for Black Panther, while he's awed there's a male cat warrior in the Pantheon, he's kinda iffy on where Black Panther stands when it comes for morals.
      • Two other "cat burglars" he had the privilege of meeting were Mona and Panther, and while he did have his misgivings regarding their "thieving" (of distorted desires in people's hearts), he managed to befriend them over time regardless. And to Morgana's relief, Cat Noir only has eyes for Ladybug, and so wasn't allured to Ann for long. And after hearing about the Metaverse, he wonders what would an akumatized victim's Palace look like.
      • He also got more acquainted with the latter since they're both fashion models, and he also got acquainted with Miki Aono through Ann.
      • As a result, Adrien also encounters Marinette when models and designers come together, much to the latter's embarrassment. their co-workers—Rarity most of all—implicitly supporting their relationship didn't help matters. And after one particular sudden attack, the secret superheroes got to know about Pretty Cures and Personas. Both Cat Noir and Ladybug now wonder what would happen if a Persona-user was akumatized. Would it proceed as normal, or would the Persona expel the Akuma? If it's the former, is the Persona merely sealed, or would it be used against the heroes?
    • When Beerus heard of another cat deity with the power to destroy, he went to meet him and tutor him as a possible future God Of Destruction. Adrien accepted the offer at first until he heard all the terrible things Beerus had done. Then he spoke from his heart and gave Beerus a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Then Beerus explained by saying he needs to do these things or else the universe would go extinct from overpopulation. Adrien understands this but doesn't like it. He considering tutoring under Beerus to learn how to better hone his destruction powers.
    • In regards to familiar voices…
  • "Pound it!"

    The Trolls 
The Trolls, Gods and Goddesses of Multidimensionally Entangled Lovers (Collectively: Team Adorabloodthirsty; Individually: Aradia Megido, Tavros Nitram, Sollux Captor, Karkat Vantas, Nepeta Leijon, Kanaya Maryam, Terezi Pyrope, Vriska Serket, Equius Zahhak, Gamzee Makara, Eridan Ampora, and Feferi Peixes.)
  • Ten of the twelve are Lesser Gods and Goddesses; Aradia Megido and Vriska Serket are Intermediate Goddesses and Vriska Serket and reach Overdeity status by activating Ancestral Awakening.
  • Symbol: Any suit of standard playing cards, or an arrangement of twelve appropriately colored zodiac signs.
  • Alignment: Probably at least one of each (but most are Jerkasses)
  • Portfolio: Theme Naming around the Western Zodiac, Falling In Love With Aliens (Kanaya, Karkat, Terezi, and Vriska only), Being Reared By Wild Animals, Being Played By A Game Because It Can't Go Any Other Way
  • Domains: Dream and Love are shared by all twelve, but they each have at least one other domain as well.
  • Allies: Each troll has his/her own. note 
  • Enemies: Each troll has his/her own, but they all oppose Lord English, except for Gamzee and only Vriska doesn't oppose Terumi Yuuki, but they're not allies. Eridan, for example, used to oppose the entire House of Magic and Sorcery on the grounds that magic is fake.
  • The Romantic Comedy gone Serial Escalation: Troll society has four different types of relationships, all based on biological imperative, which must all be fulfilled for each individual to reach romantic fulfillment. Naturally, this leads to problems.
  • The four kinds of troll love are:
    • Matespritship ("Flushed Quadrant", ): Conventional romantic love.
    • Kismesis ("Caliginous Quadrant", ♠): Mutual hate that, somehow, leads to procreation in the same manner as matespritship.
    • Moirallegiance ("Pale Quadrant", ): Two trolls temper each others' attributes.
    • Auspistice ("Ashen Quadrant", ): This occurs when a third troll is introduced into a kismesis to stabilize the relationship so as to prevent kismeses from killing each other and destabilizing the social order.
  • Terumi considers some of them a "disgrace to the art of trolling" after having read some of their attempts. ("Some" meaning "everyone that isn't Vriska or Terezi".) And even those two clearly have emotional problems that Terumi just loves to mess with.
  • It's believed that if Vriska ever fought Bernkastel the universe would undergo a Reality-Breaking Paradox from all the luck and probability manipulation. Nobody tells either deity this, for fear they would take it as a dare.
  • Terezi can often be seen hanging around the House of Justice.
  • Karkat and Vriska have both penned novels in their time beyond the fourth wall. The first wrote an allegedly historical romance about a resistance leader and his beloved disciple; the second was a rather...trashy story about the life and loves of Spinneret Mindfang, as 'recorded' in diary format. Despite accusations of preachiness and self-insertion respectively, both tales were well-received among the Pantheon.
  • Gamzee was disappointed to find that the House lacked sopor, but managed to content himself with melange spice.
  • Do not leave pictures of buckets laying around in public. They will find you disgusting for leaving such lewd material for everyone to see. No one is sure how they would react if they saw pictures of Kisume (a girl in a bucket), but it probably wouldn't be a good idea.
  • Were a bit bewildered by Vol'jin in the House of Otherness; to quote Karkat, "THE FUCK? IS THAT WHAT TROLLS IN OTHER WORLDS AND TIMESTREAMS LOOK LIKE?" Likewise, Vol'jin was rather confused by the Alternian Trolls, and especially by their four romances. However, he agreed with the twelve alien trolls to call Matespritship, Moirallegiance, Auspistice, and Kismessisitude the Alternian-Beforan Romances.
  • Feferi is working with Madoka to redeem Eridan. Though slightly jealous that Madoka's knowledge of Hope so clearly exceeds her moirail's, she is glad that someone is there to protect it.
  • Karkat personally dislikes Princess Anna, but has taken it upon himself to convert her to the quadrant system- most commonly by arguing that her sisterhood with Elsa is a textbook moirallegiance. Anna is not convinced.

Demigods

    Anzu Mazaki/Téa Gardner 
Anzu Mazaki, Goddess of Falling for Alter Egos (Téa Gardner)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teagardnerdsod_duli.png
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: Four hands held together in a circle, with a smiley face drawn over all of them.
  • Theme Music: Sm. Symbol of Friendship*
  • Allignment: Neutral Good (with shades of Lawful Good)
  • Portfolio: Girl Next Door, the one girl in the main group, Yugi’s only friend from childhood and defender against his bullies, the Masculine Girl to Yugi’s Feminine Boy (also being much taller than him), being rescued by the Other Yugi and falling in love with him (not the regular Yugi, sadly, at least initially), feeling romantically conflicted about the two Yugis
  • Domains: Love Interests, Friendship, Identities, Dance
  • Allies: Yugi Muto and Yami Yugi, Katsuya Jonouchi, Aki Izayoi, Carly Nagisa, Lois Lane, Mary Jane Watson, Usagi Tsukino, Ahiru, Katara, Kairi
  • Conflicting Opinions on: LittleKuriboh
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Seto Kaiba
  • Opposes: Bandit Keith
  • Was very happy to meet Yugi in the Pantheon. Was even happier to see the Other Yugi/Yami Yugi (understandably so, as he had already passed on to the afterlife). Then it got awkward. The presence of both has made her interactions with them a bit strained, because she never really got to sort out her feelings for the two, or even tell the Other Yugi how she feels. Yugi really just wants her to be happy, though, and both Yugis are just as friendly to her and to each other as always, which helps a lot.
  • While Kaiba is an ally of Yugi and co. now (sort of), she still feels very uneasy around him. They'll cooperate if it's necessary, but don’t expect either of them to be happy about it.
  • Has opposed Bandit Keith from the second she found out he was in the Pantheon. She already knew he was nothing but trouble; his foiled plan to kidnap Yugi just proved her right.
  • She has made friends with other duelists around the Pantheon, but even though she's always spent time with male friends (or maybe because of it), she has particularly bonded with Aki and Carly. Especially the former, due to both being The Heart in their respective groups and having some issues regarding love (albeit of different kind); but most of all, Anzu sympathizes with how Aki got pretty much relegated to the sidelines in her world, since Anzu was already used to it in hers. She's not too fond of Anna Kozuki’s attitude, however, because, in Anzu's eyes, she seems to have invited herself into Yuma’s love life just like Rebecca did. note 
    • Was baffled upon seeing how similar Sho is to Yugi, though his actual personality is very different, despite both being (very short) shy guys with a love for card games.
  • Can occasionally be seen in the House of Gaming, playing DDR. Sometimes watches duels between her friends there, but is otherwise uninterested. Even though she got to duel a few times, it's not really her thing. Whenever Yugi appears with a new non-Duel-Monsters-related game (such as board games and the like), however, she's happy to join.
    • When not hanging out with Yugi and company, she's usually in the House of Theater, where she's still training hard to become a professional dancer. There, she met Ahiru. Anzu admires her effort to become a dancer, as well as how in-tune with other' feelings she is. They can often be seen practicing together. Then there was her "friendship" with Elena the Dance Battler Goddess who is helping Anzu to fight while dancing. Many gods joke that if Elena's "relationship" with Gentaro Kisaragi doesn't work out, she can always pair up with Anzu.
  • She has also made friends with Lois Lane, as both have strong personalities without quite being out-right Action Girls, and they’ve bonded over both having faced the alter-ego love dilemma. Unfortunately for Anzu, Clark and Superman actually ‘’were’’ the same person, while the issue with Yugi is still rather complicated and confusing for her. She tried seeking advice from other deities (including Mary Jane Watson and Usagi Tsukino), but alas, their cases were pretty much the same as Lois Lane's.
    • Something good came from it, however, as now Anzu talks often to both MJ and Usagi. Anzu was initially a bit put off by Usagi's somewhat childish attitude (as patience isn't exactly one of Anzu's strongest traits), but changed her mind when she realized Usagi wasn't unlike Yugi at all, as the blonde was actually a really sweet person. Ahiru had to convince her to give her a chance, though.
  • Her confusion over the issue was such that it once led to an incident in which she intentionally got herself in danger to lure out the Other Yugi. Don’t bring that up. She’d much rather forget it.
    • She also wishes she wasn’t as known as the “Friendship Speech” girl, especially as she didn’t do those nearly as much as most think. She wasn’t even the one who did it the most in her show!. However, some deities (albeit only non-Japanese deities) have pointed out that she did do those a lot. Either way, she has rejected all suggestions to enter a Rousing Speech competition with Kamina.
    • She has taken LittleKuriboh's take on her in stride, but she is not exactly okay with how it mocks her friends (Yugi in particular). She's not very happy with the way he makes her out to be a Yugi-obsessed sex maniac, either, and she'll punch anyone who suggests that portrayal is correct. Grumble, grumble.
    • Katara sympathizes with her in regards to the Friendship thing, as Katara herself has to repeatedly remind people that she doesn't make constant speeches about Hope. This, along with other commonalities, have led them to quickly become friends.
  • Found to her dismay that she is not exactly a popular deity in some places (Die for Our Ship being a big reason). She tries not to mind it that much, but she found another friend in Kairi, who suffers from the same problem. has returned...

  • Pitied by: Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
  • Commonality Connection with: Asuka Langley Soryu
  • Special Relations: Arnold Shortman (her boyfriend)
  • Helga Geraldine Pataki is a shy, insecure girl who serves as the resident bully of her class. She constantly bullies several kids, but the one that caught her attention the most is a certain “Football Head” named Arnold. In truth, however, she actually has a crush on him, but she only pretends to hate him just so she can keep her love for him a secret, often going to insane lengths to do so. Because of this, she was chosen to represent the trope of Loving Bully.
  • When she ascended, she was surprised to learn that Arnold is already a god in the Pantheon. She greatly prefers life in the Pantheon than her life in Hillwood (though she still misses her friends), especially since she got to escape from her Dysfunctional Family. But at least she can finally be with Arnold once again, especially since he ended up becoming her boyfriend. Arnold, for his part, is grateful to see her again in the Pantheon.
  • The reason behind her obsession with Arnold in the first place? Well, he was the first person she met to show any kindness to her. When she first met him, he complimented on how he likes her bow, which led her to have a crush on him. However, her classmates laughed at her for this, and as a result, she ended using violence against them.
  • She is a frequent visitor of Dr. Frasier Crane, whom she often consults for psychiatric help. For Helga, he reminds her of her psychologist Dr. Bliss.
  • Jimmy Hopkins was at first wary that another bully has entered the Pantheon. However, after meeting her, he decided that he has dealt with far worse girls than her and as such, has no problems with being friends with her. He just wishes that Helga can stop being a bitch to others.
  • Doesn’t have much respect for fellow female bully Libby Chessler. While Helga was at least able to soften up to Arnold, the same cannot be said regarding Libby’s relationship with Sabrina Spellman.
  • Helga can relate to others who are like her in regards to their love life. Among those people, Helga includes Syaoran Li (who similarly took a while to confess his feelings to his love interest). However, she gets very annoyed with those who are Oblivious to Love, including Ichika Orimura, Youko Inokuma, and Natsuru Senou (although in Natsuru’s case, it’s possibly an act).
  • Her tragic backstory has earned sympathy from Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz of all people, given that like her, his family favored his older brother over him and treated him like crap. Malcolm Wilkerson is also on good terms with Helga given that they are both raised in dysfunctional families.
  • She is seen by several deities as a Western Tsundere and has been compared with other “Helga-types” (as Arnold would refer to such people) in the Pantheon, most notably with Asuka Langley. Helga’s behavior is rooted from family neglect and abuse similar to Asuka’s. They also like a boy, but they can't express it in a healthy way.
  • Princess Cadence considers Helga’s unique relationship with Arnold to be very unhealthy. But then again, she tends to see that in a lot of people. With that said, she acknowledges that Helga can be generous at times, as shown during one Christmas when she had to give up a pair of snow boots to help Arnold find his neighbor’s daughter.
  • She can be a bit of a stalker, as shown with her collection of videotapes of pretty much everything Arnold has ever done. However, she does not want to group herself with Yuno Gasai. Granted, the two do have a few things in common, but Helga wouldn’t go out to do the insane things that Yuno has done. Same goes for Dokuro Mitsukai, who herself was the original holder of Helga’s trope. Helga is especially creeped out with how Dokuro resorts to murder if she’s upset, which is a line that even she wouldn’t want to cross.

  • Domains: Love, Weapons, Niceness, Tsundere
  • Allies: Nyarko, Hasta, Cuuko, Yoriko Yasaka (his mother), Shantak-kun, Ato-ko Shirogane, Keima Katsuragi (?), Tenchi Masaki, Almaz, Issei Hyodo (so and so), Gray Fullbuster
  • Enemies: Masato Kusaka/Kamen Rider Kaixa, any one who malign Cthulhu Mythos, Fuminori Sakisaka
  • Former Enemies: Mitsuzane Kureshima (for bringing out Nyarko's dark side)
  • Admires: H.P. Lovecraft
  • Ascended with Nyarko, who practically dragged him in. There was no way she would ascend without her sweetheart. She even endured his forks for it, though Mahiro might have not minded it ultimately.
  • Aside of Nyarko (a.k.a. Nyarlathotep, The Crawling Chaos), he also has Hasta (a.k.a. Hastur, The Unspeakable One) and eventually Cuuko (a.k.a. Cthugha, The Burning One) after his love in different ways. Oh, and there are other aliens who want him. They find him attractive for whatever reason.
  • Do not underestimate his fork. The fork is the strongest weapon in the universe (or so he claims). After all, he can keep three Lovecraftian deities in check with one.
    • Aside of stabbing people with it, he also has a good aim with them. He was once able to a triple 300 on a dartboard using forks, which even made Bullseye slightly impressed.
  • He has gotten some help from people from House of Love, mainly Keima Katsuragi, to help him overcome his inability to confess his feelings. He really doesn't like the help, especially if it involves Dating Sims. He had enough of them after being stuck in one.
  • Malign Cthulhu Mythos around him at your own risk. He is a huge fan of those works and will stab the person who malign them with a fork. However, he hasn't gathered enough courage to talk to the man behind the writings himself, even though he has the chance to do so.
  • He might seem normal, but he actually has one supernatural ability on him: the ability to not be affected by shifts on time-space continuum. GUAG wishes to have him use this ability to assist them, due of him being rather low profile, but Mahiro himself doesn't like to be dragged into things like this. He can also resist the effects of seeing creature's true form more easily, though whenever or not this is an actual ability or he has simply gotten used to it is in question.
  • Really only friends with Issei due the fact that he needed to be the voice of reason for Cuuko regarding the accident between the two of them. He doesn't hate him, but he doesn't talk to him that much.
  • Sort of the de facto leader for Special Lovers Squad's "Love Interest" portion, but due the fact that its not even a proper group, it is just a silly title. Though it did make him befriend Almaz due of feeling like they aren't that different regarding their adventures and Gray due the fact that Nyarko and Juvia are rather similar.
  • He is sort of confused on how many goddesses sound like her mother, Yoriko, like Belldandy.
  • Officially dropped the "Unwanted Love" part of his title after he himself kissed Nyarko in the lips after she said she loves him. And then he did it again. And then was sort of fine Nyarko kissing him the next day. The House of Love went "FINALLY!" in unison. Their only concern now is the fact that this development was due of Ato-ko so that she can break their relationship one day...
    • As it turns out, Mahiro did end up marrying Nyarko... and more or less lost his SAN Points right after the wedding. Fortunately for Mahiro, the two of them aren't married in the Pantheon due of some adaption problems and only he remembers it, though he is considering that if he did decide on that, maybe he should make it official... while making sure he doesn't regret his decision this time.

  • Shirayuki is an aspiring herbalist who lived in the kingdom of Tanbarun. Although a seemingly ordinary girl, she quickly gained attention thanks to her unusual red hair, an exquisite rarity for many to showcase and sell for. Catching the unwanted attention of the then-spoiled prince, Raji Shenazard, Shirayuki decided to cut her hair and escape to the neighborhood kingdom of Clarines where she would encounter an entourage of knights led by Zen Wisteria, the second prince and heir to the kingdom. Quickly becoming acquainted with him as well as a skirmish against Raji, Shirayuki would settle down in Clarines, becoming a student in a pharmacy branch of the kingdom's court in the hopes of developing and improving her skills and credentials as well as getting herself involved in Zen's endeavor of proving himself a capable prince, diplomat, and warrior for Clarines, especially in comparison to his older brother, the first heir and eventual king, Izana. Their tale eventually involved them traveling to different lands and working together on different tasks, respecting and then falling in love with each other thanks to their strong moral conviction and drive to do good, helped by how Shirayuki's actions would allow her to redeem an assassin named Obi as well as convincing Raji to become a better person. Though the two have made a vow to marry each other in the future, the pair still have themselves getting caught up in all sorts of events.
  • Initially, it was a normal sunny day in Clarines; Shirayuki headed out to carry out her profession in the court pharmacy while Zen got caught up in having to read and sign a bunch of diplomacy papers. Essentially, it was a typical, yet relaxing time for the former while the latter felt he was droning on with boring work, but still kept his composure in getting his priorities settled. The seemingly ordinary day would be turned around when Mitsuhide walked in to alert Zen about a letter addressed to him and Shirayuki that arrived a little while ago, with the second prince deciding to wait until his love was done with her first shift so they could read the letter together. Once said opportunity arrived, Shirayuki and Zen read the letter together, reading that congratulations were in order, for they were to be part of a "Pantheon" and were appointed as "deities". The pair were a bit puzzled by what the letter meant by "Pantheon" and "deities" as they felt it was a bit out of left field, but they were approved by a visitor in the form of a gorgeous lady in white who went by Cosmos, who explained the Pantheon to Shirayuki and Zen. It took a while, especially considering the divine realms were a separate world connected to theirs solely by their ascension, but the pair decided to make the most of it, even if they admit being part of the Pantheon might be a bit tough, to say the least. There are more kingdoms and lands to be explored for the duo as well as a vast swathe of plants for Shirayuki to discover, much to their delight.
  • Shirayuki and Zen are mainly defined by their loyalty and affection for each other, for both are more than willing to do what it takes to protect and care for each other. Both are naturally good people at heart, mainly working to help others in need and to achieve the best outcome for them and their loved ones. The drive to help and provide for others is why Shirayuki fell in love with Zen and vice versa, and this was a cause for concern as Zen's royal status meant he was meant to be married off to a noble of another kingdom, which he objected to favoring Shirayuki above anyone else regardless of her social standing. Beyond their selfless and good-hearted nature, Zen is a proficient combatant in hand-to-hand and swordsmanship as well as commanding good leadership. He's also developed a strong resistance to poison, likening to many assassination attempts on him before meeting Shirayuki as he also decided to risk his well-being to ensure his enemies don't kill him with poison so easily. While Shirayuki lacks combat training, she's a highly resourceful woman, capable of using her craft and knowledge to develop specific herbs for situational uses to fend for herself and aid others and she's trained enough in medical training to know how to treat the injured and ill on the fly. Finally, Shirayuki has a strange ability to try to appeal to the best of others to win their respect and ensure their friendship and loyalty towards her. While it hasn't exactly worked on everyone, those like Obi and Raji, who were affected by Shirayuki's inspiring and gentle personality, cite this as her best skill aside from herbology and it seems likely that this would be her defining trait in the Pantheon.
  • Despite their naturally good looks and reputation, Shirayuki and Zen only have their romantic affections fixated on each other and are more than willing to put their life on the line for each others' safety. This was very quickly noticed by the House of Love and Affection, where most deities were generally encouraging of the sort of love they possess. But despite being a strong theme for them, the couple admitted to having other priorities that feel more urgent for them to pay much attention to, but they are eager for the opportunity to visit the House for special events and occasions if they can. At the very least, the couple is happy to see that they're making relatable friends there, particularly on couples based on each other's moral wisdom and virtue, with Naruto and Hinata being a very apparent example of the many similarities they share. Naruto and Hinata’s shared hobby of watering plants was also something that Shirayuki took notice of and is eager to participate in such as a way to further spend time and bond with them while the former’s occupation as Hokage is a little similar to Zen’s role of having to represent Clarines, though he and Naruto admit to having more respect on each other based on their determined and caring nature.
  • The two have a strong Lady and Knight dynamic, with many pointing out that Shirayuki and Zen would have been its strongest representative if it weren't for Konoka Konoe and Setsuna Sakurazaki. Many were quick to point out those occupying similar roles, such as Link and Princess Zelda, whom Shirayuki and Zen quickly got along with for reasons relating to their strong conviction to help others. Others like Robb Stark and King Arthur himself didn't have their significant other ascended alongside them, but were renowned for their romance with Talisa and Guinivere respectively, and quickly understood Shirayuki and Zen’s affections for each other, thus their friendship with one another. They’re also happy to see that Clarines is a thriving and friendly place to visit, allowing for easy relations to be established regarding support and trade and Arthur is willing to offer some advice regarding love and affection based on experience, though Zen is understandably wary of visiting and dealing with Westeros from what has been told by Robb, even without mentioning his (and Talisa’s) own gruesome death.
  • A notable factor about Shirayuki is her name; it translates to "Snow White" in the Japanese language, much to her surprise upon learning about It in the Pantheon. Even more notably, Snow White was the name of around four individuals in the Pantheon with similar background stories; namely, they’re all women renowned for their physical beauty which was considered mystical by others, and for being pure of heart, descriptions which all fitted Shirayuki aptly. Regardless, each iteration had its differences in personality and narrative outcome, and Shirayuki wasn't any stranger to that, though she didn't let that deter her from seeing the unique qualities and traits in the Snow Whites she met and encountered. She naturally became friends with them and is even considered an honorary Snow White, with Shirayuki admiring their quirks like their ability to inspire good and innocence, proving themselves understanding yet capable of asserting their thoughts, capable combatants, and proving one’s worth regardless of appearances. That said, The Evil Queen took notice of Shirayuki and felt immense rage at how she was yet another Snow White for her to deal with, not to mention how her beauty still made the Queen’s own feel more undesirable, leading to her to also plan on killing Shirayuki, that is if she can get past Zen, whom the Queen stresses might be too much of a challenge to deal with personally.
  • (Royalty [marrying for love instead of for politics/power]) A major point of contention, mainly for Zen, is how royals are expected to marry someone from another kingdom as a means to consolidate and assert political power and influence. Simply put, his love for Shirayuki takes top precedence and he wants to prove himself a good man as he is a good leader. The two are happy to see that there are royals in the Pantheon who chose to marry someone out of personal affection, most notably Alm and Celica despite both being of royal heritage. Both pairs very quickly came to like and respect each other for their dedication to serving and bettering their respective kingdoms despite the hurdles they go through, not to mention Zen and Alm have some commonality in being reputable warriors, and Shirayuki and Celica have a talent in appealing for the best in others and seeking peaceful outcomes, regardless if it doesn't end well. A similar friendship with the Clarines couple also occurred with Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, who made her choice to marry a street thief, of all people solely because he was a good and humble man. Speaking of which, Aladdin could strangely see himself associating himself with Shirayuki over having to deal with misfortune due to personal circumstances as well as having absent fathers for most of their lives due to their occupation, which helped with them becoming good friends.
  • Zen has a pretty complex relationship with his older brother. He and Izana don't outwardly show their affection for each other and have a lot of disagreements regarding how the former should deal with his priorities and goals as a prince, but they do care for each other regardless and Izana would begrudgingly allow Zen’s affection for Shirayuki to carry on as well as respect his younger brother for his talents as a good leader and as a good man. As a result, complicated sibling relations in royalty weren't too surprising for Shirayuki and Zen, but they were stunned at how extreme they could get as demonstrated by the Nohrian Royal Siblings who were forced into a bloody conflict out to kill each other to earn their mother’s favor, which revolted the Clarines pair, especially after learning neither sibling were bad people and we're driven by extreme peer pressure and wanting to win their parent’s affection. There were also royals in the Pantheon who would fight and kill their siblings simply to get rid of competition, and while Zen and Shirayuki would condemn their acts, they are aware not to involve themselves in their troubles, as much as they would prefer to halt their actions.
  • The two are part of a rather colorful entourage that Zen established himself and all of them are very close and dedicated to each other. To their delight, there were several groups like them and with royal and/or medieval backgrounds to them, such as the Mane Six who greatly like Zen and Shirayuki for their relationship with each other and their group and for showcasing many of the traits that are represented by their Cutie Marks, though the idea of talking ponies with special powers tied to friendship was a little silly for some like Zen, Kiki, and Obi to comprehend for a little while, but they've since come to appreciate the sextet. There was also a peculiar team with a colorful cast consisting of a bright-haired swordsman and a red-headed mage named Matt and Natalie and though both are a bit wacky, their weirdness and their attempts at being heroes were enough to win Zen’s respect while Shirayuki found herself being well-acquainted with Anna for her gentle nature and feeling more at home with nature, plus Anna herself was intrigued with Shirayuki’s interest in herbs and plants and has some interest in learning a bit from her, even if Shirayuki is more of an apprentice if a certified one.
  • Given his royal status, Zen is very diligent and serious about his role as a prince, but should either of his close friends or Shirayuki be burdened or threatened, then he is not afraid to go against rules to ensure their safety and well-being. While Izana is the more apparent figure for diplomacy, the fact that his younger brother has to take this task up more because of his status as a Pantheon representative meant that Izana had less weight in his responsibility to mixed feelings on his part. For Zen, this meant commuting to the Houses of Leadership and Royalty partly to learn about the divine realms as well as to meet and establish relations with many of the Pantheon’s ascended royals. Results were more complicated than he'd like to think; he's glad about not being on diplomatic terms with someone like Joffrey Baratheon due to his bratty and snobbish attitude initially before Zen learned about the true depths of his malice, whereupon he made it clear that Joffrey would never be allowed even a mile away from Clarines. He also respected Griffith at first before Guts told him about what sort of person he was, even affirming Zen that this isn't the first time Griffith has convinced others to see him as a hero and messiah, whereupon Zen is cautious about dealing with him in case they ever meet. At the very least, he's made some great friends and allies like Marth, Peach, Daisy, and Aragorn, who are eager to allow Clarines to establish working relations with Archanea, the Mushroom Kingdom, Sarasaland, and Gondor respectively as a sign of goodwill.
  • Shirayuki having a strong interest in flora as well as her occupation as a herbalist naturally made her intrigued and curious about the House of Plants, and from the visits she has taken, Shirayuki was surprised by the sheer number of flora she encountered and was unfamiliar with, though more accurate reactions ranged from amazement for some plants to shock and horror for a few others. She does wonder about taking samples of some of those exotic plants back to Clarines for her, Ryuu, and Garak to further study and probably devise some new herbs, mainly for beneficial use. While Shirayuki is generally welcomed by the House and most of its residents, she finds a close friend in a fellow visitor, Isabela Madrigal, for the latter's family gift of being able to magically create and cultivate plants, a skill that caught Shirayuki’s admiration. That said, Isabela feels that she wishes to use her powers beyond just helping others as being pigeonholed into this by her grandmother made her unhappy, though things are changing and she's been more open and happier. Shirayuki herself feels that Isabela is entitled to use her power in whatever way she sees fit, but still thinks using it for good purposes is admirable while Isabela herself is impressed by Shirayuki’s knowledge of plants and herbs and for her moral desire for good.
  • While red is a rather uncommon hair color in the Pantheon, that's still an improvement compared to where Shirayuki comes from as red hair there is valued to the point of opportunists wanting to enslave and hold her hostage solely for that. While the Pantheon made Shirayuki’s apple red hair color a little less unique, she doesn't mind it all that much. That said, she was happy with the idea of meeting fellow redheads as well as finding intrigue that red hair is considered sacred in a few tales associated with some deities and myths. With fellow redheads, Shirayuki gets along well with Merida for her headstrong nature and her desire to look after her family, not letting her royal background impede her desires as well as Yona for being very similar to Shirayuki in more than just having red hair, namely that they were strong-willed women who sought to do the right thing and based their affections around on someone simply being a humble and courteous individual regardless of background. Though all of them have faced hardships, Shirayuki feels that this is a major factor in her friendship with Merida and Yona and hence why she enjoys their company as well as being trusting of them.
  • While Shirayuki doesn't regret her decision to flee Tanbarun and settle down in Clarines, she still has some fondness for her old town and maintains a good reputation there. Being a runaway did feel rather conflicting and weary at first, so Shirayuki could understand someone trying to be one due to troubling circumstances, though some cases might be for more intense, personal, or tragic reasons that she would be taken back by. She became friends with Princess Bean, despite her oddities and differing personalities as the two have determined mindsets and Bean, being someone who ran away from her kingdom to prove her worth and have some personal adventures, saw Shirayuki as rather feisty and outgoing for a supposed girly girl to her approval. Another strange friendship came with Kazuma Kiryu who understood the feeling of having to be on the run several times due to his affiliation with the Yakuza as well as growing up without proper parents for the most part throughout their youths. Even then, this wasn't the first time Kiryu had an odd friendship with someone and enjoyed Shirayuki’s company as well as hoping to see her work as a herbalist, although a misunderstanding from Zen caused him and Kiryu to fight against each other to Shirayuki's amusement. Even so, Kiryu and Zen would find mutual respect as well and the former congratulating the latter for being a good fighter, and leader, and for being a dedicated man to the woman he chose to marry in the future. That said, Kiryu does find Zen’s entourage to be rather zany for him to handle, but given this is quite usual for him to deal with a lot of the time, he’s admitted to seeing weirder things and he somewhat enjoys their company.
"If you’re helping someone and expecting something in return, you’re doing business not kindness."

  • Conflicting Opinion: Sabrina Spellman, Richie Rich, Casper, Goofy
  • Commonality Connection: Noah Kaiba (They have similar voices)
  • He was excited to learn that three of his friends Betty, Veronica and Cheryl were ascended and decided to celebrate with a smoothie from the House of Food.
  • Ascended due to the discovery of a certain timeline(s) in which he performed a Heroic Sacrifice by taking a bullet fired by Wendell meant for his friend Kevin Keller. The action stunned everyone into silence for how much of a major Tear Jerker it was, causing them to resurrect and ascend him. It turned out to be an alternate timeline.
    • Consequently, he has a distaste for guns, causing him to be wary of the House of Ranged and Explosive Weapons and deities in the Pantheon that hold them, especially in unjustifiable cases.
  • With Hinata finally hooking up with Naruto and Ichigo tying the knot with Orihime, the largest betting pool in the Pantheon shifts to who Archie will end up with. This is the largest one yet, pulling in deities that normally don't involve themselves in betting, especially now that all members of the famous love triangle (square?) have all made their way into the pantheon, and the situation doesn't look to resolve itself anytime soon. It doesn't help matters that his ascension is caused by a series that has him marry both Betty and Veronica, although in different timelines.
    • It got so intense that the aforementioned smoothie celebration was heavily watched by everyone to see if Veronica finally found a way to get rid of her rivals. She didn't, as Archie specifically states it is a "friendly" celebration.
    • Rumor has it that the betting involved got so big that someone tried to to bribe the Status Quo into resolving the love situation to their favor. But they obviously didn't succeed.
  • As of late, it seems that Archie has understood that his shtick has gotten rather stale and has decided to change things up. First, he parted ways with his original design and gained a new look for the first time in decades. The trend continued with the discovery of a live action version of themselves. Both have proven to be well received remakes of themselves.
  • Became wary of Sabrina Spellman's ascension after learning that in an alternate timeline, her reckless use of magic caused a Zombie Apocalypse in Riverdale, forcing him to do things like kill his own friends and family to protect himself, flee Riverdale to survive and say a swear word.
    • Is also wary of dealing with the supernatural in general and thus avoids the House of Others. Not even Casper, fellow resident of his own world, was enough to convince Archie to change his opinion.
  • Gains respect of many deities in the Pantheon when they found out that he faced down The Predator once… and survived. At least for a while...
  • Was once the God of Heroic Redheads until people agreed the term was too broad. That and Archie wasn't exactly the most energetic redhead. Nevertheless, he maintains good relations with most redheads. The sole exception is Hiltz who has long been a rival and continues to be one even when Archie left the House of Personal Appearance.
  • Dislikes Makoto Itou as he is disgusted by the way he treats Sekai and Kotonoha. While Archie pities Makoto because of his background, he still thinks that doesn't excuse the latter's behavior.
  • While he is far from the best person to get advice when it comes to relationships, he does offer friendship to those who have had turbulent ventures with love. Some of the most infamous love duos such as Ross/Rachel and Sam/Diane are at least thankful that their plight has not lasted as long as Archie.
  • Marinette paid a visit with him one day to discuss her relationship woes. She had wondered what to do to get the attention of the handsome Adrien. While Archie didn't think that was special, Marinette decided to share her secret, her life as Ladybug. At that... Archie shaked that off in disbelief that she was a superhero. Disappointed, Marinette walked away.
  • Even in the olden days, he can be as klutzy as the worst of them. When it comes to ideas, the rest of the Archies used to get him do the easiest jobs and even then it isn't guaranteed he would be successful. In one of his comics it got to the point that he accidentally set ice cream on fire. There were serious thoughts about giving him the title The Clumsy God from Goofy. Thankfully, his live action counterpart counterbalances his terrible luck.
  • When they are not arguing over their love lives, the three can be seen in the House of Music playing their instruments. They may not be the best or most popular group, but they do have a consistent following. They hope to at least bring over Jughead to the Pantheon. Archie wouldn't mind that Reggie didn't make it in either... but with his luck it would only mean his ascension would be likely.
  • On occasion, Archie writes newspaper articles known as "Archie's Weird Mysteries" which details some of the stranger things in the Pantheon, along with them detailing the lessons he's learned along the way.. On one occasion, he was freaked out to hear that there was someone with his voice going around causing trouble. Turned out that was Noah Kaiba and Archie has learned to sympathize with the kid after learning the type of shit he's gone through.
    • It turns out that his paper is quite popular with government figures who deal with the supernatural on the daily basis. He also ended up becoming friends with The Pine Twins as they also went around recording the paranormal activities that they encountered during the summer at Gravity Falls.
  • Apparently, there was an incident between Archie & his friends and Homer Simpson where they dumped Homer in front of his house and told him to stay out of Riverdale. When asked about what happened, Archie remained silent on the situation while Homer muttered to himself, "Lousy stuck-up Riverdale punks! Think they're too good for me."

  • Odd Friendship with Chihiro Ogino, Katsuragi
  • Chihiro previously had tenure at the House of Personal Appearance until a Pantheon-wide policy revamp relegated her out of the Pantheon Proper. Further information gathering into her charachter history, as conducted by some of the deities from the House of Love (spearheaded in secret by Keima himself), revealed the history between her and Keima, which gave way to her new title:
    • When the God of Dating Sims first properly encountered Chihiro as a "conquest target", she was making a confession towards a random popular guy at school. Seeing as she was supposed to be a "background character" who should not be acting as a main character, and since she had a runaway spirit at that time, Keima reluctantly agreed to help her out in winning her target's affection. It did not turn out the way Keima hoped when she slowly lost interest in her target, after a few days of being with him. Realizing how much of a pushover she can be under the circumstances, and after praising her headstrong personality, Keima assured her that she can shine on her own (after snapping her out of her tantrum with a kiss, of course.)
    • Her affections for Keima, surprisingly, grew more as time passed (despite being subected to Laser-Guided Amnesia as consequence for having the runaway spirit in her removed) since it was later revealed that she was pining for him long before her Conquest Arc. This did force Keima to take drastic measures at that time due to a looming threat: by dumping her. Such action of his would greatly affect him throughout his Mental Time Travel, up to the point where the first thing he did after that was to immediately confess to her. This presented a somewhat "tolerable loophole", as while she ceased to seek popular guys after Keima "conquered" her, she still sought who is undoubtedly a very popular guy (among Dating Sim gamers, at least); thus, allowing her readmission.
  • Chihiro quickly became friends with 765 pro and Houkago Tea Time, after her "conquest" inspired her to shine just as much as an Idol. Yui, the latter's lead vocalist, apparently taught her how to sing and play the guitar, which resulted in her creating her own theme song, though she was rather curious as to why Chihiro went for a Pink Fender Mustang instead of a Gibson Les Paul which the former was known for.
  • Her relationship with the (former) Patron Saint of Meatbuns stemmed from the fact that a part of her initial Conquest Arc has her sharing a meatbun with Keima on the rooftop of their school. Her food preference also garnered her another friend in Ku Fei, who offered her a taste of Chao Bao Zi's special meatbuns. This kind of caused confusion to Aila and other deities since hearing the two talk to each other sounded very confusing; turns out they shared a similar voice at one point.
  • Speaking of similar voices, she was also seen hanging around Nyarko's place, usually getting tips on how to attract Keima's attention more. Chihiro has been having trouble with that on two counts: Keima is rather aware of a lot of Dating Sim clichès and sees a Girl coming after him as a proverbial "death flag"; and most of Nyarko's tips tend to border on downright ridiculous, being a Manic Pixie Dream Girl and all.
  • She also ended up in a bit of a pickle when the grope-happy kunoichi at the House of Lust suddenly grabbed her from behind. Having the same name (of sorts) as Keima was bad enough, but somehow hearing the same voice as hers really creeped her out.
  • Her namesake at the House of Travel was rather confused when she found out about the circumstances surrounding her Conquest Arc, as Sen spent most of her story in the Spirit World mingling with its inhabitants, not having one occupying her own.
  • And since we're on the topic of same names, she is not in any way related to the swordswoman at the House of Weapons.

As Corky and Violet’s romance grows, they plan to steal 2 million dollars worth of mafia money from Caesar, a plan that hits more than a few snags thanks to Caesar’s behavior that results in him killing rival mobster Johnnie and putting both Corky and Violet in great danger. When Caesar becomes desperate to cover his bloody tracks in order to escape with Violet, she is able to outwit Caesar and eventually kill him, allowing her to start a new life with Corky.
  • Corky and Violet were able to find a place to settle down at: an apartment that was a bit nicer than the one they previously stayed at, but still rather small in size. As they prepared to move in, they were told about the connection the apartment had to a larger world that was closer to the building than one would assume given how out of the way the apartment was and that said world is very knowledgeable about the histories of several people, themselves included. While the new life that Violet wanted ended up having the potential to have some traces of her previous one thanks to this larger world, Corky’s experience with getting involved with crime (including helping her and Violet escape Caesar) has helped with the two in getting by whenever danger comes knocking. The two have opted to lay low in living their new lives together, especially since not only would that danger be something that would be similar to what they previously faced, but there are threats headed their way that they would not expect.
  • Corky having a criminal record and being sent to prison in the past meant that even if she hasn’t been as active in crime as she was back then, there’s still going to be people that want her arrested or dead for being involved with crooks even if those criminals are worse than her and Violet. There were some ex-convicts who were more interested in living a life independent of crime after finishing their prison sentence that Corky became aware of and Reggie Hammond was one of those ex-convicts she learned about. Being someone who was interested in sex, Reggie was a little surprised to learn that Corky was only interested in other women and already had one as her girlfriend while Corky found it odd that someone with a criminal record was willing to work with an officer in stopping dangerous crooks. As Reggie pointed out, not all cops are as lenient as Jack Cates (even if the latter is rough around the edges) and even if an ex-con wants to live normally, trouble will still follow them even if they don’t want it. When it came to street-smart criminals with a record such as Reggie, Corky surmised that there were a few things she could learn from them if it meant helping herself and Violet outwit anyone that wants them dead or imprisoned.
  • While Violet has largely moved on from prostitution in order to live a good life with Corky, there were a few prostitutes in the Pantheon that she was able to talk to given the line of work she previously engaged in. While some of these prostitutes had it easier than Violet when it came to their job, they also had some weird quirks that Violet and Corky didn’t expect to see. Dorothy Haze was one of the more unorthodox prostitutes in the Pantheon with Violet thinking that the former looked too young to be part of that line of work and Dorothy’s explanation of who she was didn’t make things less bizarre. When Violet mentioned that she has moved on from sex work and the problems that came with it to live with Corky, Dorothy mentioned that she was looking to retire from prostitution at some point to work with children, but wasn’t sure when that time would come. While Dorothy has taken her future into consideration, she’s content with remaining a sex worker for the time being, with Violet telling her to be careful of any obstacles that could threaten her and that potential goal.
  • It’s not clear how bad some of Violet’s clients were prior to meeting Caesar, but he is one of the worst in terms of how she was treated due to his profession. Being part of an abusive relationship with someone that unstable was a reason why Violet set out for a new life with Corky, but there were plenty of men in the Pantheon who abused their female partners that disgusted the two. While the circumstances regarding Akio Ohtori can be confusing, it didn’t change the fact that he regularly abused his sister Anthy Himemiya and served as a major obstacle in the relationship between Anthy and Utena Tenjou, a lesbian romance that Corky and Violet are supportive of. What added to Corky and Violet’s hatred of Akio is that he used his charms to seduce others for the sake of manipulating them, often putting his subjects in a worse position than before and having been a prostitute, Violet saw his actions as an abuse of seduction in general.
    • On the subject of saving someone from an abusive relationship, Corky and Violet figured that there would be a fair amount of such entities in the Pantheon who went through such an event, but they didn’t expect a dog to be involved in such a story. More specifically, Courage the Cowardly Dog met a cat named Kitty who hated dogs because her close friend Bunny was taken by Mad Dog, an abusive gangster similar to Caesar. Courage was able to defeat Mad Dog and reunite Kitty and Bunny, with Corky and Violet noting the similarities in the story despite the numerous differences in them. Given Corky’s criminal history, Courage had a feeling she would be as violent as Kitty was, but Corky assured him that she and Violet have no intentions of harming him and Courage later saw the similarities between Kitty and Bunny in the two, albeit more proactive in taking down the abuser. Regardless of said proactivity back then, if Courage’s story was any indication for Corky and Violet, it’s that there is a possibility that outside help will be needed if the two are in deeper trouble than they anticipated.
  • Not only were various Mafia figures present in the Pantheon, but so were a bunch of other crime syndicates with their own motivations and set of skills. It was a lot for Corky and Violet to worry about, especially since Caesar was an unstable man who was willing to get rid of anyone he sees as a threat to himself and some of these Mafia figures had the potential to be just as dangerous as he is. There were some gangsters who were genuinely affable even in their line of work or were at least as cool-headed as Mickey Malnato, but it didn’t change the fact that there was potential for the past life that Violet wanted to leave behind to return in a deadly way. Given the expansive dealings that Mafia figures such as the DiMeo crime family have with others, Corky and Violet believe that undermining them will be much more difficult than it was with Caesar if the duo end up involved with them or other similarly ruthless syndicates.
  • When it comes to a pair of women finding themselves in trouble, what happened to Thelma and Louise felt like a mirror of what Corky and Violet went through. Corky and Violet already found themselves in criminal trouble as they were looking for a way for Violet to get out of such while Thelma and Louise’s initially ordinary lives spiraled out of control after Louise shot a rapist that would lead to Thelma and Louise driving off a cliff to try and escape the FBI, a rather dark fate for them in contrast to Corky and Violet being able to successfully have a new life after foiling the plans of a violet money-launderer for the Mafia. While Thelma and Louise aren’t a couple compared to Corky and Violet, the former duo have a very close connection with each other that Corky mistook Thelma and Louise to be lesbians in love with each other. Regardless, Corky and Violet got along well with Thelma and Louise with both duos being sympathetic towards what the other went through.
  • Thelma and her friend Louise may have been forced to become outlaws due to dark circumstances, but Louise Leroi had always embraced such a role and her rival-turned-friend Maria Sarrazin soon followed in being an outlaw. It wasn’t hard for Corky to imagine herself in Leroi’s footsteps in regards to the possibility of continuing being a criminal and finding another woman to be close with, if not outright fall in love with, regardless of the separate setting Leroi was from. In turn, since Corky is willing to live a new life with Violet even with the awareness that there’s more adventure waiting for them, Leroi sees the couple as what she and Sarrazin could have been if they really wanted to be more than friends. For the time being, both pairs of women are fine with what they currently have and are friendly with each other, with Leroi giving Corky additional motivation when it comes to living the outlaw life with a woman they’re very close to.
  • In addition to the female duos who have a very close relationship yet not in love with each other, there were some lesbian pairings that Corky and Violet got to know about. One lesbian couple that intrigued the duo were Marianne and Heloise, who were originally from the late 18th century and weren’t able to stay together for a number of reasons despite their growing attraction towards each other. From what Corky and Violet told them, there’s still going to be some resistance against lesbian couples (or homosexuals in general), but ultimately those kinds of couples will be more accepted overtime and the two duos have remained good friends with each other since their initial meeting. On the subject of lesbians, Corky and Violet decided to visit the bar run by Jill Stingray following some difficulty in finding a lesbian bar to frequent in the Pantheon. Jill was told about Corky and Violet by Dorothy Haze beforehand and given the personal troubles Jill had to contend with before moving on from them, Violet was understanding of Jill’s ordeal and attraction to women given the troubles Violent went through to have a better life with Corky. It’s not exactly a lesbian bar, but Jill Stingray’s place is still good enough for Corky and Violet to visit especially when they’re confronted with personal troubles that won’t require violence to resolve.
  • One individual that was supportive of the couple that Corky and Violet didn’t expect to act that way given the character in question was the enigmatic V, who was reminded of a similar lesbian couple consisting of Valerie and Ruth. The tragedy of what Valerie and Ruth went through and Valerie’s defiance in the face of all the hardships she endured was what inspired V to take action and while things ended better for Corky and Violet (partially since they didn’t live in a highly dystopian setting), they still had to confront some obstacles to get to their goal. Corky and Violet was more than understanding of the troubles that Valerie and Ruth suffered and V mentioned that much like how Valerie and Ruth played a role in him fighting against corruption, someone will be similarly inspired by Corky and Violet and set out to change things for the better. Even if they’re not actively engaged in making V’s dreams a reality, Corky and Violet can see where he’s coming from.
