* {{Adorkable}}: Several sympathetic characters, notably
** Hades, who is utterly inept at love, and is ''hilariously'' embarassed by some of the situations he winds up he's put into by his family, and Persephone.

** Young Athena, a supergenius goddess who initially has zero ability to fit into mortal ''or'' divine society -- though she gets better at both as she emotionally matures.
