Aphrodite

* Anime
* Manga

**Aphrodite** is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, lust, pleasure, passion and procreation.

## Appearance

Aphrodite possesses a face of unearthly beauty and has her shoulder length blonde hair decorated with flowers, as well as large blue eyes. Her figure is extremely voluptuous, with very large breasts and wide hips. She wears traditional Greek clothing that just barely covers her nipples, behind, and privates as well as multiple item of gold jewellery such as arm bangles and beads.

She is attended by her golem-like manservants who she uses as her chair and carriers of her large breasts.

## Personality

Befitting her title, Aphrodite is lustful, as seen when she was unabashedly appreciating Adam's naked appearance during Ragnarok's second round.

However, she also has a haughty attitude and is a considerable misanthrope despite her domain over love and procreation. She had been so displeased with humanity's environmental pollution, culling of animals, and propensity for conflict over the years that she had been voting for humanity's destruction in every Gods' Council since at least 2000 BC.

She also has zero tolerance for impudence against the Gods, growing furious upon learning of Buddha's bold declaration to betray them in favor of humanity.

## Plot

### 2000 B.C Gods' Council

Around 4000 years ago, Aphrodite was present at the Gods' Council to decide the fate of humanity. In the end, humanity was allowed to live but not without a punishment.

She suggested destroying the ancient Greek city of Thebes and Shiva offers to go and attack the city himself, however in the end it is Ares who asks to be sent to attack Thebes as part of his jurisdiction.

### Gods' Council

At the conference, she agrees with Shiva when he commented that, in the last 1000 years, Earth had become too ugly and mankind was the most dangerous living cancer on earth, and for this she ends up voting for the extinction of Humanity. When Brunhilde proposed to start Ragnarok to give humanity a chance of survival and made a statement that the gods were afraid to fight with mortals, Aphrodite was among the gods that laughed at her.

### Ragnarok: All Rounds

Aphrodite can be seen in the audience watching the matches of Ragnarok alongside her manservants. She usually does not say anything, demonstrating her emotions over the events of the matches through her gestures and facial expressions. whenever she is seen reacting to the events, it is usually a lustful or shocked reaction. When she does comment, it's usually a passing remark. She can be seen appreciating Adam's naked appearance during the second round and becoming furious after hearing Buddha's bold declaration to betray the gods on the sixth round. In the manga, her golem-like servants seem to have a mind of their own, expressing fear and surprise as well as fighting over who gets to hold her. However, in the anime, they serve only as statues that she uses as a chair.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: As one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, Aphrodite is a major deity within the Greek pantheon making her quite powerful.

**Godly Beauty**: As a love goddess, Aphrodite is far more beautiful and attractive than most mortals and gods. Due to her immortality, Aphrodite will likely retain her youthful looks indefinitely.

**Godly Strength**: While not as powerful as other gods, Aphrodite possess immense physical strength. She is at least stronger than her own manservants, since they could be seen struggling to hold her when she got angry at Buddha's betrayal.

**Semi-Immortality**: As a goddess, Aphrodite has a limitless lifespan and does not age.

**Divine Physiology**: As a goddess, Aphrodite possess physical abilities far greater than any ordinary human. Her body can not be harmed by mortal weapons, however she can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and divine weapons.

## Trivia

* Before the fight between Raiden and Shiva, a bunch of prize money banners were shown parading their banners around the ring. One of these banners was advertising an establishment called *"Aphrodite Beauty Salon".* The relationship between Aphrodite and this beauty salon is unknown.
* During round 6 of the anime, she does not grow furious at Buddha for his betrayal. As a matter of fact, she is rather lustful during the first half of the round and is the only one who seems entertained at Zerofuku's actions.
