Ishtar (イシュタル) is the former head of the Ishtar Familia.
Appearance
Ishtar is an extremely beautiful and well endowed tall woman with brown skin, dark purple long hair, fine pale pink lips and bright brown eyes. She wears a revealing attire similar to that of Amazonesses, consisting of a single red-orange piece of cloth around her neck that barely covers her breasts and a matching pareo around her waist that reaches down to her ankles. Also, like all Amazonesses, she always goes barefoot.
For jewelry, she wears golden bracelets, anklets and necklaces, along with a tiara at the top of her head, with several jewels in the center.
Personality
Ishtar was an extremely prideful and vain woman who believed herself to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Due to it, and others' constant claims of Freya's superiority over her, she one-sidedly saw Freya as her rival and was immensely jealous of her, constantly plotting to dethrone her and replace her at the top of Orario. Despite this, she showed herself to be a very composed, mature, and calm individual, opting to wait and elaborate a plan in order to defeat Freya and take her place.
She was a very cold-hearted and ruthless individual who seemed to not care for others, kidnapping Bell to use him against Freya as well as using the Loki Familia to test the Power Bull Demi Spirit's abilities even though she didn't hold any grudge against them. She could also be very cruel if anyone interfered in her plans, even if said person was from her own familia, severely punishing Aisha for destroying her Killing Stone and later charming her to take away her free will. Though, despite her callousness, she wasn't unnecessarily evil since she let Haruhime retain her free will instead of charming her into an obedient puppet, although she still put her a tracking collar, and treated her well with beautiful clothing and delicious food.
As a Goddess Ishtar holds very different values than those of mortals. She doesn't see prostitution as impure due to her view of sex as a sacred act which allows fertility to prosper by making new life be born and a way for women to become a pillar of stability by controlling men's aggressiveness. She saw nothing wrong with a woman sleeping with many men and even considered it a good opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of being a woman.
Ishtar was quite self-confident, estimating her own chances of success highly and dismissing obstacles in her path. She constantly stuck to her plan since she didn't like to take risks, but was willing to diverge from it if it didn't represent a problem. Though she remained calm most of the time, she was shocked when she was caught off guard or things didn't go as she planned, finally losing completely her temper after realizing Freya had completely cornered her.
Abilities
Charm (魅了): As a Goddess of Beauty, Ishtar is able to charm both Gods and children with her beauty. The only child her charm did not affect was Bell due to his skill Liaris Freese.
Trivia
