## Personality

Hanekate loves Isis and Isis' love for her followers, but she cannot forget the bloodshed of Seth and his followers.

## Life

Hanekate helps Isis and Horus hide in Khemmis. When Hanekete and her fellow followers of Isis perish protecting Isis and Horus, Isis uses her magic to heal them, blinding Hanekate. Hanekate's daughter is killed by Seth's followers. Hanekate takes a knife and plans to seek revenge, but Isis takes the knife and tells Hanekate that Isis "will take all of [Hanekate's] rage and resentment" and if Hanekate trusts in her, "the gods will take care of everything." Isis tells her followers to live lives without hatred or resentment, and not to sully themselves with thoughts of revenge, so that when they die and go through the trial of the dead, their hearts will be lighter.

Hanekate becomes the/one of Isis' high priestesses, and runs Isis' temple in Abu Gorab.

Isis orders that women and children are to be kept safe from men inside Isis' temple(s). A few weeks prior to Horus and Seth's visit, five of her temple's priestesses are killed and one is kidnapped by Kuentamen's caravan.

Horus takes Seth to Hanekate to rest and heal, in part because Hanekate can't see who Seth is, and tells her that Seth is Horus' "special someone". Although men aren't allowed into the temple, Hanekate lets Horus in, as Isis' son, and Seth in, as Horus' special someone.

Hanekate is happy to see Horus finally with someone, but curious about him, so she came to visit. After Seth wakes up and refuses to eat or drink under Horus' ministrations, Hanekate walks in and calls Seth a "picky" and "restless child". She introduces herself to Seth as "Hanekate, a servant of Isis." She promises to return when Seth is recovered, and gives Horus some medicine to use on Seth.

Later, while Horus is cooking at night, Hanekate visits him, surprised to see him there.

Hanekate observes male caravan members using weapons on the temple barrier, demanding the return of their women and children. Seth goes to investigate, and Hanekate explains that the women and children are being protected elsewhere, and the attacks are a regular occurrence. When Seth suggests she use her magic to kill the attackers, Hanekate explains about her belief in Isis and how that simply isn't something they do.

Over the course of the next few days, Seth sneaks out at night to attack the caravan members who attack the temple, leaving the temple more at peace. Hanekate is confused by the absence of the attackers, and asks one of her priestesses to investigate, discovering Seth's involvement. She keeps quiet to respect Seth's wishes, but is grateful. She's also happy that Horus found such a "good person."

After Seth has a fit, Horus dunks himself in water, and Hanekate finds him. She notes that they keep adjusting the medicine and Seth keeps rejecting it, which will make it harder for him to recover. Horus asks her to use her magic on Seth to help him heal, and Hanekate notes that since he doesn't sleep, he'll just get sick again, which surprises Horus, because he didn't know Seth wasn't sleeping. She tells him about Seth's nightly trips.

Horus ties Seth up to keep him from escaping to fight the caravan members, and after he leaves, Hanekate comes to visit. When Seth tells her to untie him, she tells him she's blind and laughs at the idea of using her magic to do it. She explains that her magic likely can't heal him, and its effectiveness depends on how well Seth listens to her. When Seth doubts her healing abilities, given her blindness, Hanekate explains they are a special wound, and asks what she can do to make him trust her. Seth suggests she change his eye and hair color. As Hanekate prepares the spell, she explains that Seth will pick the color, and will have to tell her if he senses anything wrong.

When Hanekate explains how she got the stigmata in her eyes, and thanks Seth for protecting the temple from attackers, Seth insists she has nothing to thank him for. After the spell is complete, he tells her it is successful, and she mistakenly thinks the color changed to red. She worriedly offers to change it, and Seth explains that no, it is black, but that Seth had "the cursed red hue" and he is in fact Seth. Hanekate falls over in fear, and thinks Seth is trying to trick her, particularly when he explains that Horus tricked her by abusing her blindness. Seth suggests she use a truth spell on him.

While using the truth spell on Seth, Hanekate asks him what his relationship with Horus is. Seth explains that he's Horus' uncle. When Hanekate asks if Seth placed a curse on Horus, Seth replies, "Hm... It might be." Hanekate believes that Seth cursed Horus, and grows enraged, and explodes with her magic. As Seth observes, he mocks her, asking if it's okay to kill him, based on her promise to Isis. Hanekate's magic turns into a tornado, destroying much of the temple and sending Seth flying away. When Horus arrives to investigate, she traps him with her magic, and says she has to purify him and break the curse on him.

Hanekate places Horus in a bathing chamber, still trapped in her magic. Horus says that he's proven that the curse has been lifted and she should let him go. She reprimands him for knowing about what Seth did to him, and bringing Seth to the temple, and treating the person who killed her daughter with medicine she made. Enraged and sorrowful, she tells Horus that she's going to tell Isis everything. When Horus acknowledges her decision, she is shocked, and wonders if Isis already knows about his actions. When Horus protests that Isis *doesn't* know anything, Hanekate demands to know why Seth is still alive, when Isis promised to take care of everything, and they were promised his demise.

Horus insists Isis had nothing to do with his actions involving Seth, and that Isis kept her promise to Hanekate. He warns her the temple is going to collapse. When she's unresponsive, he begs Nut for aid. Nut responds, and part of her magic does something to Horus, and causes white glowing feathers to fall on Hanekate, and turns Horus into a falcon.

## Powers

She can craft powerful medicine. The medicine so powerful and famous that it is incredibly expensive.

Hanekate has magic, but doubting her magic weakens it. She can use it to heal, create truth spells, trap others, attack (similar to lightning, or like a tornado), and trap others, even demigods or those with godly in powers, in magical chains and cages.

Hanekate's blindness means she cannot discern colors.

## Relationships

### Horus

Hanekate cares for Horus, and is happy to see him happily with someone.
