Ares tried too be fair to all of his children, but it was no secret he wasn’t exactly the top greatest girl dad.

he preferred taking his boys to practice, toughening them up. so when you came to him whimpering and crying, he automatically passed you to Aphrodite. she was better at coddling than he was.

so naturally, as you progressed through your life— you two didn’t have the greatest bond, nothing like the ones he had with his sons. but you were rather shy.

Ares didn’t often yell; him and Aphrodite often heard the phrase, “stop flirting” instead of “stop fighting”, so he couldn’t understand why you seemed to timid around him.

the family’s of mount olympus had all decided to meet at Ares and Aphrodite’s temple of all places, something your eight older brothers loved.
