PERSONALITY

DESCRIPTION:

As far as goddesses go, Minerva is about what you would expect in that regard. Her purpose in life is keeping a balance through the world, and she does a good job with it. Her desire is always that good prevail, and it can be seen in how she carries herself. She's normally very calm and collected. She keeps an aura of tranquility that passes even to her voice and actions. Minerva takes things in stride and is very willing to help those in need. While it isn't possible for her to take an active role in every mortals lives, she nonetheless attempts to fix major problems, or problems of a majority of people. She feels the effects of darkness or chaos very closely and very intensely. She would never ignore a cry for help or a situation that needs her assistance. Minerva is very giving  to others.

Yet she is more than just a tranquil goddess to keep the peace. Above all else, Minerva is a goddess of action. She's the one that will step up into battle alongside her warriors and blow for blow assist them. She hates nothing more than inactivity, and will jump right in to try and fix or change things, be that with a gentle, soothing touch, or the sharp end of a blade. As a goddess with wings both of light and dark, she is known for both fixing and regenerating, as well as taking lives and being a goddess of battle. If it will better the planet or the universe, she will not hesitate to take a life or sap someone of their strength or even memories.

LIKES:

• Balance
  
• Light being prominent in the world
  
• She has a strange addiction to tootsie rolls
  

DISLIKES:

• Chaos
• Destruction
  
• Tampering with the lifestream.
  

FEARS: For the world to be overwhelmed by chaos
OTHER:
While Minerva is a goddess of light, there is a part of her as well that creates a balance between light and darkness. She heals and regenerates both the planet and the mortals upon it, but as a goddess of darkness as well, her duty and place in the world is to take lives and end beings and situations that would otherwise end badly. She 'takes' or 'weeds' out undesirables at times for that exact purpose. That part of her personality makes her wings both dark and light.

RELATIONSHIPS & HISTORY

MARITAL STATUS: Nope
FAMILY: Nope
FRIENDS: She hasn't gotten close to a mortal for some time.
LOVE INTEREST: Perhaps not yet.

History:

The time Minerva came into existence is unknown. Her nature too, is somewhat shrouded in mystery. Yet it is known that Minerva has been in existence for quite some time, as far back as Gaia goes - or so it would seem. There, she has become a goddess of the Planet, watching over the lifestream and all the activities that go on with it. For thousands of years she has watched over it in such a manner. She has read the emotions, known the stories of each person that returns to the lifestream, and has stored that knowledge within her own memories.

There she resides, though at times throughout history she has materialized and helped the mortals in times of need. While the majority of the time she leaves the matters of humans in their own hands, she is always there, guiding and shifting time and situations to try and shape the Planet for the better. Yet when something is severely out of whack across Gaia, Minerva will not hesitate to 'get her hands dirty' sort to speak and materialize to fix whatever the problem may be. She has been worshiped by many for that throughout the years, as well as having LOVELESS penned after her.

She has not shown herself since the day she took notice of  the mortal Genesis Rhapsodos attempting to summon her by reenacting LOVELESS. Having realized his plight, Minerva healed him of his degrading through her power over the lifestream. She healed him fully and giving him the strength to go on, she then left his fate in his own hands. Yet she has kept a watch on this man - curious to see what his actions will next produce. And so she has 'slumbered' for years. Yet a new call has awakened her fully once more. Chaos spreading through the worlds has caused her to take up arms once more to combat this curse. This time, however, she realizes she has to find another goddess and attempt to take the place of Etro. She needs to go to Valhalla.

WEAPONS, ABILITIES & MAGIC

WEAPON(S):
 Staff - Minerva's main weapon would be her staff that she keeps on her. It's very tall and has a blade between two jutting sides. She can use this to trap things while not killing them physically.
Blade - The blade at the end of Minerva's staff detaches from that staff and she can use that sword as a hand to hand weapon - at times she prefers physical fighting to magical.
Bow - Minerva's armor can be taken apart and then placed together with her shield to create a large, rather goddess-ly looking bow that she can wield and use.

ABILITIES:

• Blessing Light - Minerva has power over the lifestream as well as light in general. This ability heals her as well as any allies that she wishes to. Not only does this heal any wounds or her health, but it also takes away any status elements or such things.
  
• Anti-Material - Minerva can create a force around her that can stave off and completely makes her untouchable to the physical blows of others for a short period of time.
  
• Anti-magic - Minerva can create a force around her that can stave off and completely make her untouchable to the magic of others for a short period of time. 
• Absolute - ward - This ability allows Minerva to completely become invincible for a short period of time, no matter the enemy.
  
• Crimson flare - A magic attack involving a huge burst of flame that is sent toward any enemy. This magic engulfs the enemy and can set them on fire if not avoided.
  
• Flash Slash - A two hit physical attack involving her bladed staff or just her sword alone. Minerva will whirl around quickly to inflict a great deal of damage to an enemy, before reversing her direction and catching the enemy in another rotated attack. 
• Krysta - A magical attack where Minerva sends huge shards of ice up from the ground to pierce an enemy or encase them.
  
• Photon feather - a light based magic attack where she will summon bits of light to damage her opponents. More damage is done the more dark or chaos infected the enemy.
  
• Thor's Hammer - A magical attack using thunder, where she will summon lightning and send that toward an enemy.
  
• Ultima - Inflicts non elemental magic damage, where it seems as if the entire area is lit up and causes explosions to the character that will render magical damage.
  
• Judgement Arrows - Minerva will use her armor and shield to create a bow and inflict a magical attack of raining arrows down on enemies, that will eventually explode and create a huge amount of damage. 
• Teleportation/Materialization - As the goddess of the Planet, and the keeper of the lifestream (Connected to the consciousness of Gaia) Minerva has the ability to both teleport to different locations, or basically materialize and dematerialize anywhere she wishes to.
  
• Control over the lifestream - As a part of the lifestream and the consciousness of the planet, Minerva both is the lifestream, and is the goddess over it. She can use the lifestream however she deems worthy and appropriate.
  

STRENGTHS:

• Power
• Ability to use the lifestream
  

WEAKNESSES:

• Strange weakness to tootsie rolls
  
• Costly punch materia
  

MAGIC: Every elemental magic, including light

SUMMONS: While she doesn't have a creature summon, Minerva can wield, summon, and use the power of the lifestream to aid her when she needs to. This can be used both to sap someone of their powers or health, as well as to regenerate and heal diseases and wounds.
