Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
      • Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
      • Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
      • For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
    • For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one-week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions Expansion, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be one flavor text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like to look like Character Shilling.
    • Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "[tup]" or "[tdown]".
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for the deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
    • You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
    • Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also, be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part of their series' official soundtracks from the media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters' appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlight a character's behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute it to the original artist. Due to the website's dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that make sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well-advised not to abuse them. The only house where trope-less profiles are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
    • Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place, or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending on if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.
    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warper deities capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warper deities that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low-level Reality Warper beings capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity: God X, God/Goddess/Deity of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on the representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral, etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here; the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignments to characters that don't have an alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.

    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either from their perspective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part, the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This is the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis of the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.
Template for Dominions profiles: Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.
Template for Treasure profiles: The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

@ Excessive: Samurai Jack and Ashi experienced a Time-Travel Romance, though it didn't end well since travelling back to the past and undoing the Bad Future meant the latter being erased from existence.

There's also Philip J. Fry and Turanga Leela due to Fry getting frozen. There's also that bit about him becoming his own grandfather.

@ wootzits: Carl Fredricksen was a Grumpy Old Man himself, mainly stemming from being a widow. Travelling to Paradise Falls to fulfill a promise he kept with his wife and being accompanied in that journey changed that, however.

[up] I'm guessing it's because of the stories they're in, which have plot points that are very problematic to the modern viewer who might be quickly offended to those kinds of stuff.

Guess that makes sense. Can't weigh in on Gravitation, but I can agree on Himeko/Chikane to an extent.

On the other hand, despite how problematic the anime could be perceived as, fact remains those two are Yuri icons.

So I'll watch Strawberry Panic and try to assemble a profile for Shizuma and Nagisa, then.

Honestly, I think the style of the anime makes them fit more than the mikos. Kannazuki No Miko may have been one of the first Yuri anime to go mainstream, but Strawberry Panic has this on its trope page.

...completely derivative yet oddly enjoyable [series], which is best known in yuri circles for stealing characters, symbols and whole scenes from well-known yuri anime and manga series, putting them all into a blender and emerging with the anime version of a Long Island Iced Tea. — Erica Friedman's Guide to Yuri

TLDR: It's Yuri distilled to its purest form. I'd say that fits.

[up] Holding in my thoughts on that. I do feel that you're putting in too much emphasis on Sailor Moon for quite some time. Plus you're not yet done with the Dead Moon Circus yet. I honestly feel like you should complete your profiles first before nominating, as I feel that it makes the latter more rewarding IMO.

EDIT: I stand corrected. But my point still stands in a different sense; take some time to explore more niche and unpopular stuff. Not saying you should drop Sailor Moon or Kid Icarus BTW.


Given that I've washed out three profiles into proper places, well...


  • Maisie - Parental Neglect
    • The plot of the novel and film is centred on what Maisie goes through in her personal life and emotional well-being, with the main turbulence being that her parents hate each other and spend so much time arguing and accusing the other that they seem to almost forget Maisie, which results in her being despondent and trying to deal with it via surrogates.
  • John the Savage - Shoot the Shaggy Dog
    • As Brave New World is set in a controlled, "idealized" Dystopia, John the Savage is desperate to escape London, so that he could lead a life free from total control and desire freedom. Unfortunately, he fails and realizing the terrors of being robbed of free will for the sake of happiness and thus, never be granted the chance of discovery and freedom, John ultimately takes his own life. He accomplishes nothing beneficial throughout the narrative
  • Elric of Melniboné - Dark Fantasy
    • The Elric Saga takes place in a High Fantasy setting that is not portrayed'' ideally, but instead features a corrupt empire and has numerous undertones of Law Versus Chaos scattered around and the world being filled with terrifying beasts and harsh environments. Elric himself is a Byronic Anti-Hero who displays various traits you'd normally see in a villain. Or in a short sense, The Elric Saga is a considerable Trope Codifier for this trope.


Anyway, posting Yui again. Anything more to put in or is she ready to play her band again in the Pantheon?

  • Domains: Music, Hyperactivity, Replacements, Love, Disability
  • Heralds: The Other Members of Girls Dead Monster
  • Allies: Yuzuru Otonashi, Kanade Tachibana, Yuri Nakamura, Rei, Hisao Nakai, The Katawa Girls (especially Emi Ibarazaki), Ibuki Mioda, Aoi Tategami, Yuu Haruna, Fuuka Akitsuki, Muse, Linkin Park, Tomoya Ozaki
  • Rivals: Houkago Tea Time, Eddie Rigs, Tomoyo Sakagami
  • Enemies: Mayhem, Big Brother, O'Brien
  • On Good Terms With: The Matrons of Mercy, Most of the Medical Conditions Sub-House
  • To compensate for living out their lives in an afterlife high school until they are able to move on from past trauma and regrets, a quartet of girls decided to form a rock band together to provide music and entertainment for the other students. Then, band frontwoman Masami Iwasawa was able to depart from the afterlife after performing one last song and coming to terms with her past. Hence, a new frontwoman was to take place. Enter Yui, a big fan of the band who eagerly accepted and stuck to Girls Dead Monster up until her own departure.
    • Yui's existence in the afterlife came from her angst and insecurity of being hit by a car, causing her to be paralyzed from the waist down. On her bed, she would take to watching shows and activities which she would have loved to do, but never got the opportunity for it due to her physical condition. This insecurity remained intact after she died, which became the reason for how Yui ended up with the other SSS members and Girls Dead Monster.
  • Eventually, what was able to finally convince Yui to move on from the afterlife was when she stated that her biggest desire was to be married and that this was reciprocated by Hideki Hinata, who stated that he will be there to make her wish come true when they've both ascended at some point. This allowed Yui to come to grips with her condition and desires and hence, disappeared from the afterlife.
    • As an additional bonus, Yui's destination wasn't what she was expecting it to be. While she would return to life with what appears to be Earth, she was surprised to see that where she ended up in was far more fantastical and bombastic than she could have imagined. Or at least, that was Yui's initial impression towards the Pantheon. Her first priority was to see to herself and was delighted to see that she was able to move around freely without a hint of paralysis. Though she's a bit stingy about the fact that she's still in her afterlife school uniform.
  • Yui is among the more excitable residents in the Pantheon, and it's not such an idle feat. She is energetic about just on any physical activities she could get her hands on and will often try to take a role in them, even if she hasn't asked about it. She's often seen visiting the House of Sports where she practices baseball and wrestling. And given the wide variety of sports and physical activities, the Pantheon has to offer, Yui couldn't be any happier about it.
  • Her ascension meant that she would be bringing along the other members of Girls Dead Monster as her heralds. They took every opportunity to regroup and continue on with the band, although the lack of Iwasawa's presence still lingered throughout their minds. Yui is determined to make sure that her predecessor finds a way to ascend so that they could finally make a proper reunion. That said, it's not rare to see Yui's band talk about Iwasawa and plans of writing lyrics based off her.
  • Evidently enough, Yui and Girls Dead Monster would mark their presence in the House of Music for obvious reasons. They proved popular enough to be headlining a sizable tour, though they've only chosen to have the Houses of Love, Sports and Characterization as part of their setlists. They do have plans to extend their tour, but they felt it'd be best if they start small.
    • They have a rivalry with Houkago Tea Time, mainly due to the two of them being Rock bands with a strong influence from Pop, though Girls Dead Monster is more boisterous and energetic while Houkago Tea Time prefers to be more reserved and cheerful. There's nothing of animosity going on between the two with both bands being comfortable. Oddly enough, both bands have a frontwoman named Yui, which came off surprising for the two. Still, when Yui Hirasawa found out about what the other Yui went through, she immediately tried to give her a cuddly hug, feeling really bad about it and wanting to see if they could be friends outside of music, to which she said she didn't mind.
  • Her competitive nature lead her to meet up with Tomoyo Sakagami in the House of Sports. Both of them, while not immediately hostile, do not tolerate each other all too much either; Yui wants to prove her physical superiority towards Tomoyo, given that she's good in just about anything she partakes in while Tomoyo herself can't help but get annoyed at Yui's prattle on how she's going to "beat her" in whatever sports they participate him. This doesn't stop Tomoyo from feeling sympathetic towards Yui regardless and would like to help her out like how her friend Tomoya did with her and his own friends.
  • Despite her past experience, she doesn't visit the House of Health and Diseases all too much, if mainly because she tends to be too caught up by her own interests. She does appreciate the effort and works the Matrons of Mercy tend to put in and the fact that she can find a few people who can relate to her in regards to disability and not being able to pursue what they would have loved doing in the past.
  • She sympathized with Rei after learning about how she was bedridden with cancer and passed away, not being able to do much with her life. In a sense, Yui realized that Rei may have had it worse than her as she was abandoned by her parents whereas Yui at least had a mother and Hideki to provide her support and morale. Rei is one of the few people where Yui drops her boisterous act and becomes tender in nature, relating her life to hers and often tries to cheer her up in some way.
    • There is also Emi Ibarazaki, who, like Yui, was physically disabled from the knees after being involved in a car accident, though Emi had them amputated and replaced with prosthetics and was able to continue on moving, unlike Yui, whose condition remained permanent. Yui found Emi inspiring as she's energetic and feisty, albeit in a different fashion and they'll enjoy each other's company regarding moving on from trauma and sports.
  • While Yui's physical disability was debilitating in its own, it should be noted that it did little to deter her determination to live a happy life. Learning about the aforementioned Tomoya's situation made Yui a little despondent, if mainly because a physical injury that he sustained (from his father, no less after trying to deal with the death of his mother) would bear a psychological effect as well as broke any chances of Tomoya being able to play basketball professionally. Conversely, it did make Yui admire the man more, given that he went out of his way to help his friends from achieving their goals and even getting his own life sorted out at the same time. Tomoya reciprocates by sympathizing with Yui's past and finding her attitude sometimes endearing, considering that it reminds Tomoya of two of his friends, namely Kyou and Fuuko Ibuki and Kyou Fujibayashi.
  • Became fast friends with Yuu Haruna after hearing of his attempts of trying to prove his worth of being a bassist and a member of a band. This similarly extended towards Fuuka Akitsuki, who served as Yuu's inspiration. Yui was shocked and saddened to learn of Fuuka's sudden death, which was caused by a collision from a truck, so she quickly took to trying to befriend her, given that Yui herself was a victim to an automobile accident that rendered her paralyzed in her mortal life. They've made plans for a duet, though Yui and Fuuka's differing priorities regarding their own bands and personal lives are taking precedence first for the moment.
  • Even with her tough attitude, even Yui finds herself disturbed by Mayhem. She doesn't have any personal problems with Necrobutcher and Dead, even if the latter is incredibly creepy and the fact that the former at least tries to provide some kind of mental and emotional help for Dead. Euronymous and Hellhammer, not so much, as even discounting their blatantly open declaration of being evil, they're still complete jerks to even be around with. Yui makes a point to never associate either her or Girls Dead Monster with Mayhem, due to their overtly nihilistic and Satanic overtones being an incredibly alienating aspect and the general controversy surrounding the band.
    • Yui is also openly afraid of Big Brother. It stems from the fact that many of the afterlife high school students were subjected to Shadows that rendered them into "NPC's". Big Brother's aims of psychologically breaking a prisoner's mentality and their free will was rather uncanny compared to the shadows, except Big Brother was worse in the sense that it and all of its followers did this willingly for the sake of power or just to make a point about torturing those that dare to resist Big Brother. Unsurprisingly, Yuri herself is also strongly opposed to Big Brother for its and this is one of those rare moments where Yui becomes serious and concerned whenever Big Brother and O'Brien becomes the topic of focus.

Also, the Sandboxes where I stored the Dead Moon Circus and Mina Loveberry were being weird so I had to delete some of the trope links. Sorry about that. I even had it like this

Example: [[ Don't You Dare Pity Me! k]].

But remove the space before Don't You Dare Pity Me!.

And it still acted strange.

I have yet to delete the ones on Mina's, so any information on how to fix this would be nice.

Nevermind. I think something was going on with the site for a second because it’s back to normal. I’ll restore the Dead Moon links.
