Kirsten Vangsness
Aphrodite, from the Greek Pantheon series
There was no way I could cast anybody else as the Goddess of Love and Beauty; she is just 100% fantastic and perfect.
Aphrodite generally minds her own business up on Olympus. She doesn't get involved in constant quarrels over the morality of their lives, like Iris does; she doesn't chase after mortals like Hera (okay, so she chases after some of them, but with entirely different intentions). When the first War came, she did her best to stay out of it.
Then came the aftermath. Zeus, deciding to 'apologize' to Hephaestus for badly injuring him, gifted him Aphrodite as a wife.
Aphrodite was never consulted about this.
For a time she tries to go about things normally and just pretends that she doesn't have a husband, but eventually she acknowledges that trying to stay quiet and peaceful and happy all the time hasn't gotten her any advantages at all, and maybe it's time for a change.
