Meme: I'm Nemesis?!

Your Score: Nemesis
Indeed, you are 87% erudite, 50% sensual, 41% martial, and 66% saturnine.

This daughter of the Greek Goddess Nyx was initially thought of as a harsh force of opposition. However, she was later softened to represent the feeling of just resentment or righteous anger against those who committed crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune.

Her name, Nemesis, means "she who distributes or deals out". And that she did. As she was the one directing human affairs in such a way as to maintain equilibrium of happiness and unhappiness, she could bring about losses and suffering if you made the impression of being �too� happy.

Being the one who checked extravagant favours by Tyche (or Fortuna, as the Romans called her), she was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity, so it only makes sense that the Goddess of Punishment, Poena, was an attendant of Nemesis.

Despise all this suffering and vengeance, she is also said to have been as beautiful as Aphrodite. Her attributes were, among others, a rein, a sword, or a balance.

My roomie thought she was going to get Nemesis, but she got Sedna.

Sedna! Wow, she's not a happy goddess at all. Well, I suppose most gods and goddesses are fearful.

Oh yeah, when you look at the fact that most of them are a tad capricious and all-too-willing to teach wayward mortals a lesson, they can be quite scary. I got one of the more sedate ones myself which is rather surprising.

Your's sounded fun. She'd be good to hang out with...until the unwashed villiagers start burning the partiers at the stake.

Well, that's true. Unwashed villagers get like that.
