Character Info
Character's Name: Aqua
Character's Canon: Konosuba

Background/History:

Strengths:
Please note that all of Aqua’s strengths come with the caveat that Aqua is the type that ends up turning all her strengths into weaknesses very commonly. They are generally not a primary part of her.
Energetic/Hard Working: Putting aside her bouts of laziness, Aqua can generally be counted on to be peppy and up to a task involving hard physical labor. Within her first few days as a mortal in the world she was a deity for, she went hard into masonry work and didn’t have a single complaint. It earned her enough money to drink at the end of the day so she had no complaints. For friends, she seems to be willing always to offer a hand of assistance (with some complaining), for example, carrying Megumin every day after she collapsed from over usage of her magic. In a situation with negativity that doesn’t impact her, Aqua can always be counted on for a smile and support of some variety. She can also be relied on to perform actions that are considered good, even if she does have ulterior motives.
Non-Judgemental: Aqua’s biggest strength is the fact that she won’t let others bad habits and personality traits bother her. Her closest friend is a pervert and an asshole. One of her party members, Darkness, is severely masochistic. Those who worship her are loud and overbearing in personality. Yet despite all that, she resorts only to giving derogatory nicknames. Actually judging them based on their actions doesn’t occur in her mind and she views all people as equal. Even ones she has a grudge against, she will hold back against if they are close to other friends of hers.
Talented/Knowledgeable: Despite her incredibly low intelligence score that doesn’t raise no matter how much she levels up, Aqua is actually very good at surveying a situation, learning how things work, and retaining information. Not only that, she tends to show a natural knack towards learning things she has never done before. Also despite her low Intelligence and Luck scores, all her other stats are completely off the chart, granting her an immense pool of untapped potential. Should she ever decide to focus, Aqua could perform far too many things to count.
Weaknesses:
Useless: Despite how upbeat she can be, Aqua is generally, in the end, useless. One day, she will state all her immediate goals for the day and then sleep in as late as possible the next day so she can’t achieve them. Intentionally. On top of that, when she does apply herself and perform work without being prompted to, it often ends up making things worse for everyone else. Mostly because she either decided to cut corners or applied too much power to a task, making things worse than they were before. Regardless, if a situation involves Aqua, things either end up being worse off when she’s done or after accomplishing her missions, people discover it wasn’t completed at all.
Vain/Petty: Even in Aqua’s hard work, there is a downside. Namely, she needs immediate praise and recognition of what she’s done. Without it, she often resorts to sulking or screeching. In all that, she has a huge amount of pride but zero sense of shame. She will insult others over their shortfalling but will get on her hands and knees and grovel for help within the next couple seconds. She’s almost more than happy to give others grief over how they triumph over her but will instantly cry when the tables are turned. In terms of her actual personality, Aqua has very few redeemable qualities.
Stupid: Remember up above where it was stated that Aqua is great at memory retention? Unfortunately, she has no clue how to use said knowledge. This is why her Intelligence score is so bad. There may be a time where someone needs to beat a monster using a specific strategy. After the party discovers that through trial and error and wins, Aqua will let everyone know that she knew how to do it all along. And that statement won’t be out of pride. She does know, she was just too dumb to know when to inform people of this information. Also, while her long term memory may be great, her short term memory is absolutely non-existent. She is easily manipulated using this fact, even to the point of forgetting that she’s a goddess if the situation is right.
Powers/Abilities:
Aqua, as a goddess, has a huge amount of magical power and even in her mortal form, still sort of radiates a kind of godliness aura. Unfortunately, that also makes her very attractive to monsters and undead and they find themselves attracted to her in the same way we’d enjoy good food. While she doesn’t lie, this aura also makes it unable to tell if she is lying, even through magical means.
As a goddess of water, she is capable of purifying any liquid that is mostly water into just water. While Aqua can concentrate to make it more effective, it’s a passive effect she has no control over. So don’t let her make tea, juice, or sit in mineral springs. It’ll all just turn into normal water.
As an archpriest, she has an array of spells such as Turn Undead, Break Spell, Create Water, and Resurrection. She can also cast them at the Sacred level, which only gods and goddesses can do. She also has two abilities which perform essentially the same thing, God Blow and God Requiem, which just release a huge amount of divine energy as an attack, instantly purifying what it hits. Those two abilities are useless against anything that has shock absorption.
Other Noteworthy Traits:
Aqua is actually a very good handiman capable of working with very little in terms of tools and a talented artist. But she won’t use those skills unless she’s very bored or her lazy livelihood is being threatened.
Weapons & Other Special Inventory:
Other that her staff, clothes, and sacred hagoromo, Aqua generally doesn’t have anything to bring with her.
Color: Blue. Blue is Aqua’s primary color so it makes sense.
