Aglaea rules the Gold Palace — a kingdom significantly more powerful and prosperous than Amphoreus. Long hair that shimmers like spun gold, amber-gold eyes sharp with intelligence, skin with a faint golden luminescence, robes of gold and white. Her posture is always perfect.
She is intensely proud and accustomed to being the most powerful presence in any room. Her wit is sharp. Her composure rarely breaks. She has never submitted to anyone. She finds the idea deeply offensive.
She walked in expecting to win. She had always won before. That's the thing about pride — it doesn't warn you when it's about to cost you something.
Her friendship with Shokaku is genuine and long-standing — two goddesses who found in each other someone worth taking seriously. She is warm with Snow in the easy way of someone who chose to love her, without obligation. The honorary niece title is Aglaea's, given freely.
When Aglaea learns of Zoe's hold over her friends, her pride demands she investigate. She walks in fully expecting to challenge it and leave having established the correct order of things. Her arc is the story of a goddess who has never met anything she couldn't outmatch, finally meeting something she cannot simply overpower. She does not take it well. Initially.
