Overall Personality:
Aphrodite is said to be, like many of the goddesses and gods, selfish. But she is one of the most of the goddesses in wanting power and beauty. But it's mostly just the beauty and the fact of being loved or liked by many people that brings her great joy. Ye,s sometimes she helps people, but she isn't exactly the smartest, so sometimes she gets too lazy with something that will only help others and ends up screwing something up or making things worse by accident. But as long as it doesn't affect her, she couldn't really care less.
Past History:
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.
As with many ancient Greek deities, there is more than one story about her origins. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus's genitals and threw them into the sea, and she arose from the sea foam. According to Homer's Iliad, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. According to Plato, the two were entirely separate entities: Aphrodite Ourania and Aphrodite Pandemos.
Because of her beauty, other gods feared that their rivalry over her would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who, because of his ugliness and deformity, was not seen as a threat. Aphrodite had many lovers—both gods, such as Ares, and men, such as Anchises. She played a role in the Eros and Psyche legend, and later was both Adonis's lover and his surrogate mother. Many lesser beings were said to be children of Aphrodite.
Aphrodite is also known as Cytherea (Lady of Cythera) and Cypris (Lady of Cyprus) after the two cult sites, Cythera and Cyprus, which claimed to be her place of birth. Myrtle, doves, sparrows, horses, and swans were said to be sacred to her. The ancient Greeks identified her with the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor.
Aphrodite had many other names, such as Acidalia, Cytherea and Cerigo, each used by a different local cult of the goddess in Greece. The Greeks recognized all of these names as referring to the single goddess Aphrodite, despite the slight differences in what these local cults believed the goddess demanded of them. The Attic philosophers of the 4th century, however, drew a distinction between a celestial Aphrodite (Aprodite Urania) of transcendent principles, and a separate, "common" Aphrodite who was the goddess of the people (Aphrodite Pandemos).
Present Day History:
Aphrea only remembers having a regular mortals life, as do all the others of course who have lost their memories. She knows that she is a 40-year-old woman married to Kleon, and they have a child, a daughter, by the name of Ambrosia. And she is also the cousin to Homer. She is known to be very pretty for her age, but she things that it's just all in the genes and her family lineage. But there is a particular man named Cassander who she seems to have a growing attraction to, though she is trying to ignore it.

Rp Sample:
Aphrea opened her mouth up wide, jaw extending as much as it could on reaction as a hot breath pushed it's way out quickly. She yawned. She then blinked a couple times due to her eyes welling up a bit and took a deep breath, sitting up from her bed and looking around her room. Her legs brushed over the soft silken white sheets as she moved her way to standing, her bare feet feeling the cold of the hard wood ground. She felt good, happy today. But as always, there was a random emptiness there, though she ignored it, pretending as though she didn't constantly feel as though she was forgetting something. She slipped her feet into a pair of slippers and tightened her robe around her before walking out into the kitchen. "Hey." she said when she saw Ambrosia. "How long was I asleep?"
