On the other hand, Hera embodied more of a "Villainous Queen" persona. It wasn't that she had inherently evil tendencies, but rather she displayed a fearless and sometimes petty side when crossed, akin to the villainesses depicted in novels. Despite this, she also exuded an aura of regal leadership, commanding respect with her strong mindset and imposing presence when necessary. Initially, Athena struggled to reconcile this transformation in Hera—from a once purely kind and naive soul to someone who retained her kindness and gentleness but shed her naivety, becoming more cunning and strategically astute. Despite Athena's initial difficulty in understanding this change, she ultimately saw it as a positive evolution in Hera's character that became different from the Hera depicted in the novel.
