Sekhmet

Sekhmet is the lion goddess and a warrior, the daughter of Ra and the original Eye of Ra. Her alternate form is Hathor, the goddess of beauty and joy.

Personality
Sekhmet is fierce and unstoppable with a blood lust that blinds her to all else, but Carter suspects that she may be somewhat unintelligent because she is easily tricked into believing that salsa is blood. However, in mythology, she is also a goddess of strategy, somewhat akin to the Greek goddess Athena.

Appearance
Sekhmet is described as a 'golden woman' in glowing red armor. Her skin glows like liquid gold, her chest plate and skirt looks like they are made from molten lava, and her hair looks like a lion mane. Carter says 'she was beautiful in the way an atomic explosion is beautiful.'

She commonly takes the form of a lioness with a sun floating above her head (to symbolize Ra) when on a rampage.

Powers and Abilities
Sekhmet is an incredible skilled warrior and is proficient with a sword and bows and arrows. She is able to summon flames as she pleases. In her lioness form her very breath can turn whatever it comes into contact with to the desert. It is said that she was far more powerful when Ra was active. She has the ability to create plagues: as mentioned by Bes she created the 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic after having escaped briefly in that year and she created plague spirits to do her bidding such as the bau known as the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet. She and any magician channeling her power can control these spirits as well.

Relationships
Ra: Sekhmet is fanatically loyal to Ra and desires nothing else but to destroy his enemies. But her blood lust makes her blind to anything else than destroying his enemies which she assumes to be everyone. In ancient myths, however, Sekhmet was the consort of the god Ptah and the mother of Nefertem, the god of lotuses. She is also considered to be associated with Bast and Tefnut. In some occasions, Ra is her father

In Mythology
In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet (also spelled Sachmet, Sakhet, Sekmet, Sakhmet and Sekhet; and given the Greek name, Sachmis), was originally the warrior goddess of Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath created the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare.

Her cult was so dominant in the culture that when the first pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty, Amenemhat I, moved the capital of Egypt to Itjtawy, the center for her cult was moved as well. Religion, the royal lineage, and the authority to govern were intrinsically interwoven in Ancient Egypt during its approximately three thousand years of existence.

Sekhmet also is a solar deity, often considered an aspect of the goddesses Hathor and Bast. She bears the solar disk and the Uraeus which associates her with Wadjet and royalty. With these associations she can be construed as being a divine arbiter of the goddess Ma'at (Justice, or Order) in the Judgment Hall of Osiris, The Eye of Horus, and connecting her with Tefnut as well.

Trivia

 * Sekhmet was turned into Hathor after Ra saw how many people she had killed.
 * In some occasions, Sekhmet killed many people before Ra laid out pomogranate with beer for her to mistaken it for blood. Sekhmet drank it and became drunk and returned peacfully to Ra.
