As far as archetypes go, hardly any rogues do to me. Except Nordic Loki and Native American Coyote. The tricksters. Or the Puck from Shakespeare.

Or Gwydion fab Don? 

 

Although maybe he's more of a mage.

You have to remember, our connotations about the Greek gods weren't theirs- Athena, a "just" god of war and strategy, had a rogue, Odysseus, doing her dirty work; disguises, stealth, trickery, ambushes. . . about as rogue-y as one gets.

Like many gods and goddesses of old, she had about half a dozen part time jobs. I blame poor editorial oversight in ancient mythology.

This. Agricultural people like their fertile fields. Women tends to get very involved in that pregnancy/childbirth/motherhood thing. Most goddesses will be roped into those areas of life.

Not to mention the constant merging with other peoples and claiming their gods as your own.

Seriously. I mean, just look at Apollo: music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge.

They were written by the same guys who came up with Superman's powers.

Hey, my phone bill might be easier to deal with each month were that not so.

And they still had time left to mess with random mortals. Maybe it is a good thing they had a busy schedule.

It'd be easier to show you than tell you. Look up cracked.com's 'Boobs on Things That Don't Normally Have Boobs' list.

 

(Uh, NSFW obviously. Hence no direct link.)

 

 

But, among other things-

 

-Snoopy

-Mount Rushmore

-Optimus Prime

-A computer mouse

-Heads

[Fiery Phoenix]

I was thinking Diana, but Artemis is basically the Greek equivalent so that works I guess.

Okay, I can swing this back on topic.  One thing I do like about Sera is the way she's built.  To be frank, I've run into more characters built like Miranda than I have with Sera or Merrill.  I actually read one poster flat out state that they thought Merrill was childish because "she had the chest of a 12 yr old boy."  Nothing about Merrill's personality, just that she had a small chest.  Sera looks petite and small chested with some nice curves. It's wonderful as a 34 yr old woman to see another fully grown adult female character that doesn't have, um, huge tracks of land.

Artemis and Diana are the exact same God with different names

Yeah, I mean, mom always said a handful was enough.

Parts of my personality are suddenly being explained to myself in my own mind.

ANYWAYS.

Someone's maturity isn't kept in their Fore Flotation Devices. (Use in case of emergency.)

Oh.

Ehn. The Romans added a few things, but this is largely true.

[Maria Caliban]

If only her chest wasn't so... saggy.

She needs to keep the ladies high and dry.

The Romans added more things?

 

How much more space did they have to work with? Didn't she have enough already?

[Brian ofthe Dialogue Wheel]

A push-up bra is one of our companion quests?

[Grieving Natashina]

I thought Merrill had.... kind of large breasts for her body actually. Or seemed that way at times (from the side).

The armor looked like it might have back lacing, like a corset.  Corsets can make a lady that wasn't blessed with massive mammies look big.  Plus, as Maria said, it does keep the breasts high and out of the way.  It makes sense for an archer and the leather keeps her pretty well protected overall.

No, not to the Ms. Mammary Statue up there, but to the goddess herself. They folded the gods of Greece into their own, preexisting Lore.

Let's elongate the torso and turn her into a fountain!
