Said to be the most pampered, or rather, the most beloved goddess by the other deities.

Deskmat - designed by Ulliam.
The deskmat is designed from her noble phantasm An Gal Tā Kigal Shē (from the great heavens towards the great earth).
Upon employing the Noble Phantasm, she warps to Venus and takes possession of its concept by means of management rights, loading it and firing it from her bow as a conceptual planet.

Nice to see a weeb set that doesn't have sublegends but not having another alpha set with hiragana or katakana is a bit disappointing imo

I like the colors, but I'm kind of confused by the naming and the inspiration of this set. Ishtar is a Mesopotamian goddess, but your inspiration on your IC is from an anime? Some of your kit names are japanese, but your description on the GB page says nothing about the anime. The website also says nothing about the anime either. I'm probably going to get some flak for this post, but it would've been neat to give it unique names and some consistency.

Yes its based on the anime, but to not get into legal ramifications it's more of a "if you know, you know" type of thing.

Kuro - 134/100 - Hit MOQ week 4
Tengoku - 198/100 - Hit MOQ week 3
