**Hecate** is the Greek Goddess of Magic, the Mist, Crossroads, Necromancy, Ghosts, the Night, and Moon. She's a third generation Titaness, the daughter of Perses and Asteria, and serves the goddess Persephone as her attendant. Hecate is stated to be the reincarnation of the **Triple Goddess**, an Elder God whom existed alongsode the Demiurge/Horned God as their consort/companion, and would become the former's wife as Perseus Lykaios. Her Roman counterpart is **Trivia**.

## Personality

Hecate's complexity as a deity stems from her embodiment of the Triple Goddess, transitioning seamlessly between The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone. Despite the varied personalities, these aspects are interconnected, representing different facets of the same entity. Undivided, Hecate reflects traits from each archetype, showcasing a willingness to help others, a protective nature towards her children, and wisdom akin to The Crone.

### The Maiden

As The Maiden, Hecate was the embodiment of innocence and opptimism who viewed humanity's untapped potential with something akin to curiosity and neivety. She's motivated to always keep harmony with those around her, being highly receptive and open to learning. Being somewhat of an unwritten page, she's great at adapting and is always willing to help others. The Maiden‘s innocent outlook on the world can lead her to remain in the position of a passive bystander. She might rather spend her life daydreaming than stepping into action and taking control of her life. This, in turn, makes her susceptible to victim mentality. She needs to learn how to take responsibility and believe in her own power to be the creator of her life instead of wallowing in negativity. Since The Maiden is trying so hard to do things right, she can be quite a perfectionist and have a hard time forgiving herself mistakes. Out of fear of being rejected or abandoned, the Maiden has strong tendencies to always play the role of the „good girl“ and may display people-pleasing or clingy behavior.

### The Mother

The Mother is considered a more responsible version of The Maiden. Within this aspect, Hecate was magic's chief pioneer and taught humanity the wonders of the mystic arts. She was also shown possessing a level of wisdom and keen intelligence that represents her empathy, compassion and care. The Mother is also a lover of solitude and expects people to make their own choices, accepting that everyone makes mistakes and they learn from them. According to Clytius, she sends acolytes to do her bidding, take all the risk and offers vague promises of magic. Feeling appreciated for her dedication is what makes her thrive. On the other hand, feeling like her well-meaning efforts are not seen or wanted can lead the Mother to be disappointed and disillusioned. An unaware Mother can often have a tendency towards codependency and circle their entire existence around serving others. She tends to not think of their dreams as equally important as those of others – which can lead to regret and frustration later on.

### The Crone

The Crone represented Hecate's darker thoughts and impulses, being pure evil who wanted nothing but suffering to be felt by every being in existence. She's viewed as someone who is lacks The Mother's wisdom, malicious in every action and inaction that can make her either helpful or obstructive. The Crone has shown kinder tendencies when interacting with Perseus Lykaios, but still comes across judgemental and uncaring.

## Appearance

Hecate is usually seen with green eyes and black hair that barely came down to her shoulders, like her son Alabaster. Her face was like a Greek statue — "*beautiful, deathly pale and agless*". She was surrounded by green light. Hecate dressed in dark robes with ornate silver designs, like runes or alchemy symbols.

She was most notably known as a triple faced deity. Her true form is the Triple Goddess and resembled three faces attached onto one body, each with their own distinctive appearance and personality. Hecate sometimes appears before others in separate aspects of the Triple Goddess, while other insances she'll possess her daughters The Three whom then physically appear identical to the goddess herself.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

As an Elder God and Titaness created from the first energies of magic itself, Hecate is an extremely powerful deity. Her powers were superior to many Olympians and Titans, having sparked a level of fear within Kronos himself. Manitou Dawn could have destroyed Rama Kushna with a facet of Hecate's power, with Hecate stating that Rama Kushna's power was nothing compared to her own.

* **Elder God Physiology**: Hecate belongs to a race of inconceiveble beings known as the Elder Gods of Earth, being created from the first energies of magic itself and thus is an entity of primordial power. She was reincarnated as one of the Titans of Myth and Gods of Olympus, but retained her status as an Elder God upon apotheosizing into a higher plane of existence. Despite ascending, Hecate has the conventional attributes of a Titan but slightly lesser than beings such as Hyperion and Atlas, instead making up for this in sheer magical power. Much of her superhuman attributes were largely unknown due to Hecate preferring her magical abilities either for support or in combative situations.
	+ **Immortality**: Like all Titans, Hecate is functionally immortal and cannot die through conventional means. She's unaffected by the passage of time, having not aged past her prime since reaching adulhood, and immune to all diseases and infections. As an immortal, Hecate could fade from existence - either from a lack of worship or by the diminishing of her domains and if other sources of power are destroyed, becoming so weakened it takes years to manifest physical form.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Despite her incredible resilance, Hecate could sustain injure from metals containing magical properties if she deicdes to fight physically. Her godly life-force enables Hecate to recover missing tissue and organs with superhuman efficiency, but cannot regenerate missing limbs without magical assistance; Like every Titan, Hecate is immune to all known diseases and infections, while also having immunity towards drugs and toxins unless concoted with magic from another deity.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Hecate's advance musculature doesn't produce any fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting her near limitless superhuman stamina.

	+ **Superhuman Strength**: As with all Titans, Hecate has immense levels of strength beyond regular mortals. It's unknown what the limitations are for Hecate's strength, as the goddess was known for rarely fighting physically, instead preferring the use of her divine powers rather than brute force.
* **Witchcraft**: As the Goddess of Magic, Hecate is the patron deity of magic with absolute control and divine authority over magic. This grants her almost unlimited power to call oupon, being the greatest sorceress on Olympus. She's the creator and practitioner of witchcraft, a mystical style of magic utilized by witches that draws upon the energy of the Earth and negative aspects of magic. Her power was so vast that she dwarfed the magical abilities of Circe and was capable of facing off against the Otherkind, who were just as powerful as she was in the multiverse.
	+ **Eldritch Blast**: Hecate can project lethal bolts of magical energy with highly destructive power. Her witch-marked showed the ability to unleash powerful energy blasts during her assault on Nanda Parbat. She fired a beam of pure magical energy that banished the spiritual projections of the Ancestral Witches back into Obsidian and had generated a magical wave that severely weakened the defensive barriers of various magical schools. Hecate unleashed a concussive burst of energy when fighting Child and Klarion, being powerful enough to combat their Chaos-based magic.
	+ **Elemental Magic**: Hecate was noted for having immense power over the elemental forces of nature and possessed an incredible knowledge regarding spells capable of generating specific effects.

Hecate later conjured a ring of blue fire that were manipulated to destroy nearby cities and then enchanted to destroy an entire island.
	+ **Flight**: Hecate displayed the power of levitation and seems to favor it over walking. Because the witch-marked gained their power from Hecate, Manitou Dawn displayed the ability during her assault on Nanda Parbat. Many witches receive the power of flight upon passing their Witch Trials and others were given the ability after being born when the goddess awakens their witchcraft abilities.
	+ **Law Manipulation** (limited): As the Goddess of Magic, Hecate has control over the Rules of Magic and magical law, but to a extent much lesser than Perseus. She's able to change and create laws governing the supernatural, with her own power being unhindered by them. Like her husband, Hecate can notably influence The Deep Magic and Deeper Magic, the most powerful and fundamental magical laws in existence which even immortals are bound to obey. It's also stated that Hecate's dominion over crossroads enables her to enter another's domain and realm of influence uninvited, but cannot attack said person regardless of the reason

She would attack England with charmed skeletons immune to the very magic she had given to the Wizarding World, even preventing them from being destroyed by simple offesnive jinxes.
	+ **Power Bestowal**: As the patroness of magic, Hecate was the first deity to have bestowed magic upon mortals and created the various magical communities that existed since the dawn of civilization. She's noted for being the primary creator of the Wizarding Magic, transforming the magic and surviors from the Great Purge into a magical race still connected to the Old Religion while also being something entirely new. Before fading, Hecate stored gargantuan amounts of her powers as an Elder God in five human females and each time they died, these powers would transfer to different women until it was time for Hecate ascend once more.
	+ **Reality Warping**: Like most Old Gods, Hecate wields considerable influence over reality and could manipulate it to an immensely large degree. She warped reality around Brooklyn and its inhabitants single handedly without any artifacts required. Her level of power could potentially destroy an entire universe, as Wonder Woman possessed enough power to completely banish the Upside-Down Man from the Multiverse and back into the Other Place. It's unknown the extent Hecate can warp reality, however Hecate stated that magic was the force which influences reality and often utilizes this power to increase the range of her abilities.
	+ **Transfiguration**: Hecate was extremely skilled in the art of Transfiguration and is stated to be even greater than her daughter Circe. She had turned Hecuba, the former queen of Troy, into a black dog after being stoned by locals following the murder of a Thracian king.

She conjured thick ropes from the wand of Albus Dumbledore, bounding him in flames that burned his skin whenever a falsehood was spoken. Hecate is masterfully skilled in fixing broken objects and materials using the Mending Charm, casting the spell to repair buildings throughout New York unlike those whom need their wands and a large group to match the goddess' range

She knows everything regarding the past, present, and future, an individuals life and the various paths created by Fate. While Hecate is one of the few Olympians whom are "All-Knowing", she's admitted there were many things which eluded her; Hecate can utilize her prophetic abilities in Divination to receive insight and knowledge into precognitive visions to understand what's being viewed.
	+ **Cosmic Awareness**: Like all Old Gods, Hecate is aware of the multiverse and the realms that lie beyond. This knowledge gives her an understanding of the universe and all life that transcends the capabilities of mortals.
