Character details

The youngest of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology.

Originally an earth goddess, due to the Olympian gods and the fanatical beliefs of the people, she was forced to escape to the Shapeless Isle where she became a monster that turned people to stone.

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 172cm, 57kg

Source: Greek Mythology

Region: Greece, Shapeless Isle

Alignment: Chaotic-Good

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: Female

Her height here is her summoned height.

It is unknown how tall she was during the Age of Gods.

Profile 2

She's beautiful, but has an aura of danger

about her.

She may seem ruthless from her cold and distant actions, but she just thinks most things are a pain in the butt, and would rather not do anything all day.

She likes alcohol and reading, and she doesn't care if people like her or not.

Profile 3

『Bellerophon』

Rank: A+

NP Type: Anti-Army

Bridle of Chivalry.

In legend it is said that the hero Perseus

cuts off the monster Medusa's head, and Pegasus emerged from her blood.

Just like in the legend Medusa can use her blood to summon Pegasus and mount him.

Profile 4

Mystic Eyes: A+

She has the highest ranked Mystic Eyes, Cybele.

She can unconditionally turn anyone with low Magic Resistance to stone, and even those with high Magic Resistance will be turned to stone if they let their guard down.

They're normally sealed away with the self-seal, Breaker Gorgon.

Profile 5

She's tall with an excellent figure, but according to Medusa, "small and cute" is her standard of beauty.

She has a complex about her tall, adult-like body.

Additional profile

Out of the three Gorgon sisters, she's the only one who ended up "growing."

She went from a goddess loved by all, to a goddess who wanted to save (rule) over all.

Corrupted by her growing hatred towards humans, she ended up becoming a demonic beast who devoured heroes.

The name "Gorgon" was given to the goddess

for what she became.

Birthday
So it's your birthday today. I hope it's a good one.
During an Event
It appears that a new battle has begun.
Conversation 1
Let's get to work. We can't slack off on the job, Master.
Conversation 2
...You really are a curious person.
Conversation 3
I'm used to serving. Don't worry about it.
Likes
What do I like? Reading, I suppose. I like swimming too.
Dislikes
What do I hate? I don't like emeralds. Oh, and having seaweed wrapped around my legs... I particularly want to chop up wakame.
About the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail... Can you wish to be shorter?
Bond Level 1
The monster Medusa... A monster with snakes for hair and a petrifying gaze, right? That isn't all that far off...
Bond Level 2
This body is like the one I had before Athena's curse... But I have no idea when I'll turn into a monster again. If that scares you, you should end our contract while you still can.
Bond Level 3
...You're very kind, Master. Or have I been deceived?
Bond Level 4
Yes... I was this tall before I was cursed... I'm the only one of the Gorgon Sisters to be this big...
Bond Level 5
I didn't realize how much my book collection had grown. We've been together for a long time, haven't we? ...Yes. I'll fight with you for as long as you let me.
Conversation 4
...Ugh. Ugh? Sorry. I didn't mean for you to see me sigh. It's not because I'm displeased with you, Master... I'm just tired of running errands for my sisters... Ugh.
Conversation 5
...It looks like you've also have a contract with Medea. I'm not connected to her by fate, but we don't really get along. Though she's kind of dark like me, her strangely positive side messes with my perception...
Growth (5)
Level up
...From here on out, I look forward to working with you.
Ascension 2
It's nice when hard work pays off.
Ascension 1
It feels a bit strange growing as a Heroic Spirit.
Ascension 3
Should I continue like this? [delay 5.1]I'm not sure I'll be much use to you...
Ascension 4
Hehe... Foolish Master. [delay 6.8]Do you know what exactly you've done? [id 400100_0_G051]You've filled me with power. You need to take responsibility for that. [id 400100_0_G052]To start with, I'll make you a slave to your desires.
