Aphrodite

## Dominion

Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Desire, Sex, Sexuality, Seduction, Pleasure, Passion, Fertility, Happiness, and Joy.

## General Traits

Aphrodite's demigods are known for often being incredibly attractive, flirtatious, and popular. Typically, they spend a great deal of time on their appearances and choosing their outfits, and are rarely shy about flaunting their beauty. Additionally, they are viewed as flirts, often having very few problems romantically or sexually pursuing anyone that interests them and even those who don't. Due to their friendly, flirtatious personalities and naturally good looks, Aphrodite's kids often attract many friends and rarely feel out of place in social circles. Unfortunately, they can also come across as gossips to others and be seen as shallow, petty, manipulative, and fake. It isn't uncommon for children of Aphrodite form a stereotypical clique of mean, popular kids. Despite the stereotypes, however, these demigods can also be some of the most empathetic and see the value in strong emotional bonds that others might overlook. Love comes in many forms, including platonic and familial, and beauty is only skin deep after all. Many of Aphrodite's kids seem to understand these things better than almost everyone else.
