Bastet

Bastet in Season 1, Episode 7 by Mojito

**Bastet** is the God of Abundance and Fertility, and the third child of Ra.

## Appearance

Bastet has dark brown skin, short, dark hair, and wears a dark brown or black cat face mask with cat ears and golden eyes. Her upper lip is painted black. She wears a white tube top with upper fringe of white and black squares, and a black ankh in the center. Sometimes she wears a white tube top with the black ankh, but with a fringe of gold under a line of black. She wears a white shendyt that wraps around her hips, allowing her freedom of movement. The middle section falls between her legs in front and the back, with the back being longer and weighted down by a tie, appearing like a tail.

She wears golden hanging triangle earrings that appear to be hollow and curved upward. She wears a golden armlet that wraps around her arm like a snake on each of her lower arms. She wears large golden bracelets on both wrists. She wears golden sandals, with 3-4 golden leglets leading up her leg from them. She also wears a thick golden usekh or wesekh, with 3-4 strings of golden necklaces beneath.

## Personality

She appears to be sympathetic to animals, and prefer them over humans.

## Life

Bastet is the third child of Ra.

It's possible that she abandons Isis during Isis' flight from Heliopolis and Seth, like the other gods do, out of fear of Seth.

She attends the trial of Seth as an observer, and sometimes sits next to Isis. When Isis grows upset at Seth's machinations, Bastet attempts to calm her. When Seth attacks Isis, Bastet calls for him to stop. She appears to be happy when Maat agrees to hear Osiris' testimony.

During Osiris' testimony, when Isis becomes upset, Bastet comforts her.

Bastet goes to the riverside with the other gods to observe the first match. She is seemingly troubled by Seth winning and/or showing off his strength and/or confidence that he cannot be beaten by the other gods, even when they band together against him.

When the third match is announced, Bastet is angry that it will be about hunting animals, and suggests hunting humans instead. Hathor shoots back that hunting humans would make the gods no better than Seth, which makes Bastet sit back in her throne and pout. Bastet later joins the other gods in voting to give Seth a penalty to even the playing field against Horus. When Anubis arrives to offer to give Seth weapons to use during the match, and Isis pulls him aside in private to talk it over, Bastet discusses Anubis' qualifications and possible theories for his motives with Tefnut and Shu.
