Divinity/Tropes

Tropes that apply to the Divinity, written as if it were a TV Tropes page.

## Characterization and background

* **And I Must Scream**: If She were alive, She would almost certainly be horrified at the way Her powers were being used, with nothing She could do about it.
* **Expy**: Obviously, She is one to the God of Abrahamic religions, but with several things modified and/or made more fantastical to avoid religious controversy.
	+ She is also one to Rose Quartz from *Steven Universe*, as both gave up their existence to empower their successors.
* **God**: The closest thing the series has to one.
* **God is Dead**: Despite being the creator of the Multiverse, She died and passed Her powers to Katrina.
* **God is Good**: The Divinity had no problem praising or rewarding those who had done exceptional service to Her.
* **Good is Not Nice**: She is generally kind and wise, but won't hesitate to unleash Her wrath on evildoers or traitors.
* **Have You Seen My God?**: Besides the fact She Herself is dead, the real problem in the series is that Her *successor* has gone missing as well, leaving the Multiverse more vulnerable to attack. The surprising twist in the last few episodes of JttDoH is that Her successor has appeared in almost every single episode and has been right under the Magis' noses the whole time... she's just brainwashed and goes by "Event Horizon."
* **Heroic Sacrifice**: She gave up Her existence to imbue Katrina with Her powers, turning into her magic aura.
* **Hidden in Plain Sight**: The whereabouts of Her successor are deliberately kept a secret for most of the core present-day sagas except for subtle clues that are sometimes dropped to the audience. However, it's revealed that Katrina has actually been in plain sight the entire time, as Event Horizon *is* Katrina.
* **In Mysterious Ways**: It is unspecified exactly why She decided to create the Divine Siblings, though it is implied that she realized that evil would arise in a few years and made a deal with the Magic of Friendship that she would create four Humans on the condition it accepted them as Chosen Ones.
* **Killed off For Real:** It is confirmed that She is *not* still alive inside Katrina's body, but actually died when turning into her magic aura.
* **Old Beggar Test**: To find a worthy successor, She traveled to the 21st century and disguised Herself as an ugly old beggar, looking for someone who wouldn't turn Her away solely because of Her ugly appearance.
* **Pieces of God**: In the Law of Cycles retcon, She compromises by instead giving Katrina and her descendants a spark of Her power.

## Appearance

* **Gold and White are Divine**: She's a goddess who's golden-colored.
* **Shout-Out**: Her appearance vaguely resembles Mother Rapapa from *Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure*, except that She is gold.

## Abilities

* **Good Powers, Bad People**: Her powers are inherently good, but Event Horizon (being Her successor who is brainwashed) uses her powers for evil. She also retains a corrupted form of the Power of Creation, but uses it to create evil weapons/devices.
* **Holy is Not Safe**: Actually averted. It was perfectly safe to look at Her true form. Also averted for Katrina, as she's a corporeal human.
* **The Power of Creation**: The Divinity could create whatever the heck She wanted out of nothing. Katrina has a more restricted form of this (similar to Ladybug's Lucky Charm filtered through her Miraculous compared to Tikki using Lucky Charm on her own), but she has to focus her mind on the exact thing she wants to create and more often than not, her laziness keeps from doing it correctly and results in the wrong item. This also carries over to her brainwashed identity.

## Relationships

* **Adam and Eve Plot**: Downplayed. While Victoria and Arcturus aren't the first humans, She does magically create two humans of the opposite gender at the same time.
* **Symbiotic Possession**: Subverted. While She was absorbed into Katrina's body (amplifying her magic aura by a huge degree), and thus it looks like this trope, She is no longer alive as She *turned into* her magic aura.
* **Take Up My Sword**: She passed Her powers to Katrina.
