## **Biography**

### **Personality**

Aphrodite is a young goddess with a pure heart. She is described as compassionate, introverted, dreamy, shy, ditzy, feminine, polite, naive, and a hopeless romantic. She is shown to be quite an airhead, completely oblivious to what power her beauty has over others; blissfully unaware of the broken hearts she leaves behind and those she have stolen. Despite her destiny as the future goddess of love and beauty, she is rather insecure about her looks. She was noted as 'self-centered' by both Hera and Ares.

### **Appearance**

Due to the nature of her powers, Aphrodite possesses immense beauty that would charm the souls of anyone who sets their eyes on her. She was endowed with extraordinarily silky, voluminous, bouncy, exquisite, gorgeous, and creamy pearl blonde tresses that would reach the floor gracefully; big, round, doe-like, and sparkly silvery magenta eyes; and a slender and dainty spoon-shaped figure. She was always described as effortlessly and incredibly pretty, extremely attractive, stunningly elegant, cute, very irresistible, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Her signature look includes a neon pink mini dress with a seashell-shaped pin on her right strap and a heart-shaped pin on her left strap, a golden headband of roses, and shimmery rose gold high heels.

**Powers & Abilities**

Aphrodite possesses immense beauty, causing many boys to become instantly mesmerized.

## **Relationships**

### **Love Interests**

* **Ares** - He is one of Aphrodite's suitors. He is always angry but Aphrodite tries her best to calm him down. In *Aphrodite and Hephaestus*, the two get into a rather explosive argument, which results in Aphrodite calling Ares cocky and resentful. In return, he tells her that Aphrodite herself is vain and attention seeking. She ends things with him, but Ares tells her that he knows she'll come back to him once she gets bored with other guys "just as she always does". After being cheered up by Hephaestus, Aphrodite does attempt to return to Ares, but stops when she sees him flirting with Eos. She overhears their conversation, where Ares tells Eos that he broke up with Aphrodite. After hearing this, Eos promptly asks Ares out on a date, which leaves Aphrodite feeling upset once again.

* **Hephaestus** -He is also one of Aphrodite's suitors. He is an extraordinary blacksmith and he makes equipment for Aphrodite like her belt. In *Aphrodite and Hephaestus*, after ending things with Ares, a heartbroken Aphrodite runs away to the forges where she meets Hephaestus. Noticing how upset she is, Hephaestus attempts to cheer her up by giving her a tour of his forges after she expresses interest in some of his creations. Among his work, Aphrodite notices a belt, and implores about it. He tells her the belt is special, but it isn't quite finished yet. Aphrodite suggests that he add pearls to the belt, before thanking him for his kindness, and leaves the forges. After overhearing Ares and Eos' conversation, Aphrodite spies a small sack with her name written on it. She opens it to find the same belt that she had admired in Hephaestus' forges. This time, it's finished with an accent of pearls. The kind gesture immediately lifts her mood once more.

### **Best Friends**

* **Hera** - is one of Aphrodite's close friends.
* **Athena** - Aphrodite and Athena are very close. Aphrodite thinks Athena would be a great mentor for a stunning mortal hero.
