Hera

They call her the queen, for there is something regal in the way she walks, talks, acts. Perfectly poised, she is the mother hen, always caring for her girls. She longs for a family and daydreams of that perfect wedding, drawing aspirations in the margins of her schoolwork over and over again. Potential partners are scouted for daily, weighing up their suitability to make sure they are worthy. She is deserving of everything and refuses to stop until she gets what she wants.

Nut is the Egyptian goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies. Envisioned as as star-covered woman arching over the earth, Nut is the barrier separating the forces of chaos from the ordered cosmos in the world and is considered to be one of the oldest deities in the Egyptian pantheon.

As the mother of Osiris, Isis, Set and Nephthys, Nut is regarded as the mother of the gods and of all things living. She and her husband Geb are considered to be the givers of food and water, not only to the living but also to the dead. In this role she is seen as a protector of the dead.

Styx → Goddess of the underworld River Styx, one of the Titan generation of Okeanides. Styx was also the personified Daimon of hatred. Described as a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and as a nymph, Styx dwelt at the entrance of Hades, in a lofty grotto which was supported by silver columns. The River Styx was also a corrosive Arkadian stream, which allegedly flowed forth from the underworld.
