Aphrodite (Soul Bringer)

Aphrodite is a central character to the Soul Bringer series. In addition to being the well-known Greek goddess of love and beauty, she is the creator and spirit embedded inside the legendary greatsword Soul Bringer. She is also the surrogate mother to the series protagonist Lady Emeraldblade, and Sophitia Alexandra.

Appearance
Aphrodite is a slender, beautiful woman of young age with pink skin and very long, blonde hair reaching down to her legs. She wears slight makeup consisting of deep purple eyeliner. She has blue eyes and long eyelashes standing out from the corners of her eyes. Her clothing consists of a purple, single-strapped dress, fashioned in the style of the times of Ancient Greece; it consists a heart-shaped brooch on the strap, and a skirt reaching down to her feet with a slit cut at the front just after reaching her thighs. She also wears a pair of golden high heels that match her hair color as well as two ankle bracelets in the same color. Since she is a goddess, she gives off a pink and gold luminescence.

Personality
The goddess of love has a refined personality when confronting with those she is not acquainted with or that she considers hostile, often speaking in a calm, no-nonsense tone. When in the presence of her friends and family, she tends to have a more laid-back, California valley girl tone, and tends to be rather friendly, but at times can get agitated by those who do not take her advice seriously (such as the Soldier and the Demoman).

Aphrodite regards herself as a benevolent goddess, and thus only fights when it is necessary, such as when her surrogate daughter or granddaughter are in need of help. Despite sounding snarky at first, deep down she truly cares about her friends and family.

History
Not much is known about Aphrodite prior to after the time Hercules saved her and the other gods from Hades, but what is known is that she was very welcoming in the fact that he chose love over immortality.

Sometime before 1607, Aphrodite created the greatsword Soul Bringer from a still active fragment of the spirit sword Soul Calibur, which she embedded her presence inside of in case her daughter (whom she entrusted the blade to) was in need of assistance. The sword is meant as the bane to both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur.
