This figure's consort once used mesu, tiaru, kanaktu, and simberru trees to construct a throne for Ea, and the minor god Kakku once informed this deity of a present from Anu. The kurgarru and the kalaturru were created to aid Ninshubar in negotiating with this deity, and according to one myth, she was a goddess of the sky until she was kidnapped by the dragon Kur. Her chief minister was her son Namtar, while some accounts name as her son with her first husband the god Ninasu; that first husband was Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven. She used a bath to seduce her second husband, the scythe-wielding god of destruction Nergal, but is far more famous for making her sister strip while passing through seven gates, after which she killed that sister and hung her from a hook until Tammuz rescued her. For 10 points, identify this evil sister of Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of the death and the underworld.
