This character is regarded as a deity of love. Most likely a member of the setting's ruling pantheon, but could be any character (including a mortal) who is regarded by other characters as a goddess of love.
Line 6:
Male love gods are included in this trope. It is called "Love Goddess" rather than "Love Deity" because the females are much more common.
 
When a '''Love Goddess''' (regardless of gender) is a character, s/he is likely to be in love, be an [[Ethical Slut]], [[Good in Bed]], [[Hot God]], or all of the above. Either way, s/he is also likely to be a [[Love Interest]] of other characters.
 
[[Historical Domain Character|Historical Domain Characters]]s like Aphrodite and Freyja count as separate examples when they appear ''as characters'' in separate works of fiction. For example, Hercules and Xena count, since Aphrodite is a character in some episodes, while ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' so far does ''not'' count: Freyja is a part of the northern pantheon, but unlike Thor, she has so far never really been part of the plot. <ref>Aphrodite, on the other hand, has made a cameo appearance, but that's just it: a cameo appearance in which her and her entire pantheon were [[Unperson|unpersonedunperson]]ed.</ref>
 
Constrast [[War God]], this trope's polar opposite. Mythology and media in general [[Odd Friendship|tend to]] [[Opposites Attract|pair these two]] [[God Couple|up regardless]].
