A panel of Ra from the manhwa

**Ra** is the Egyptian God of the Sun and was the first God and ruler of Egypt.

## Appearance

Ra is a tall and muscular woman with warm brown skin. She has long, dark hair that cascades down her back in waves nearly to her ankles, and two tresses of her hair rest over her shoulders and end in round golden scrolls. She has gold, red, and black markings around her eyes, and wears thick red lipstick. Her nails are painted black. Her eyes are golden, and seem to glow brighter when she's in certain moods.

She wears a golden winged crown, and the wings combine above her forehead in horns with a red disc in the center. She wears a golden wesekh or usekh with a blue scarab beetle at the center, and golden trailing bits along the edges. She wears long golden bracers on each forearm, and golden armlets on both lower arms. Her left armlet is connected by beads to her middle finger. She wears golden covers over her chest, connected by a chain. She wears golden anklets with large golden disks that connect by beads to her middle toe on both feet, but otherwise doesn't wear shoes. She wears a thin golden belt, which has a golden rope tied to a sheer translucent cloth that hangs below her hips and falls to her feet. She wears a golden ring on her left pinky finger, and a ring with a large red gem or bead on her left pointer finger. She wears a golden ring with a large black gem or bead on her middle right finger.

## Personality

Ra is seemingly easily amused by Seth's antics in particular, and spends much of her time on the page laughing over what he does, or being otherwise amused by what the other gods get up to. She's very wily, and jokingly attempts to tease out confessions from others, particularly Osiris. She doesn't respect personal space, and often moves quickly into the spaces of others to intimidate them.

## Life

"The sun god rose from a hill on the river of chaos and gave birth to herself." Ra then gives birth to Tefnut, Shu, Bastet, Hathor, Maat, and Sekhmet. Tefnut and Shu marry and give birth to Nut and Geb. When a prophecy foretells of Nut and Geb's children changing the fate of Egypt, Ra curses Nut to be unable to bear children. Nut goes to Thoth for help, and Thoth plays senet with Ra, winning Ra closing her eyes for four days, which is enough time for Nut to give birth to Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Seth. Nonetheless, Ra still wages war afterward.

Osiris steals Ra's throne by force and becomes Pharaoh over Egypt. When Seth kills Osiris and takes over Egypt, Ra does not oppose him, or lend aid to the humans Seth torments and butchers. At some point, Thoth tells Isis and Horus to go to Ra for help, but Ra simply mocks them.

Hundreds of years after Seth's ascension to the throne, Isis and Horus go to Heliopolis to confront Seth and demand the return of their sovereignty. Ra attends the trial to witness the matches between Seth and Horus for the throne. She seems generally amused by the proceedings, though she sometimes steps in when Seth gets too unruly. She baits Osiris when he appears, asking where he's been and asking how he's able to resurrect himself. She frequently pushes for Osiris, Seth, or Isis to talk in more detail about what happened the night Osiris was killed.

## Powers

She is one of the most powerful gods in the Ennead, and can even stand up to Seth when he's at full power. Ra notes that she is not powerful enough to win against Osiris (at least when he was alive).

Ra knows a great deal about the goings-on of the other gods, and often teases others about it, such as what really happened the night Osiris was killed, or how Osiris' apparent "resurrection" works.

## Relationships

#### Hathor

Hathor seems very close with Ra. Ra backs Hathor.

#### Maat

Ra calls Maat a "stickler" for the rules.

#### Osiris

Ra and Osiris seem wary of each other, and Ra seems quite happy to try and get others to publicly say what crimes Osiris committed against Seth. Despite how much Ra appears to know about Osiris' actions, Ra has not yet revealed them herself when Isis and Seth refused to do so.

#### Seth

Ra seems largely entertained by Seth's antics.

## Trivia

* When Isis goes to Thoth for help while on the run from Seth, Thoth predicts that Ra will give Horus what he needs most. Horus thinks this is the hand mirror from Hathor.
