Athena
Who she is: Greek goddess of wisdom and war Athena appears to her brother Kratos throughout the series in different ways. Sometimes she’s a helping hand, sometimes a representation of convoluted family politics, and eventually a flickering specter after Kratos kills her without shame.
Ranking: She was the product of the gods’ twisted power dynamic. I’d hope if someone like me, who looked like me, and was me, constructed an abhorrently subjective and useless listicle where I’d be ranked, they’d leave some grace around my family trauma, so I feel like I need to show Athena kindness. Still, I can imagine that she would be close to the top.
