Oh My Goddess
"Aa! Megami-sama" (Ah! My Goddess) is about the love relationship between the ordinary college student Morisato Keiichi and the goddess Belldandy, who are brought together after Keiichi accidentally phones the Relief Goddess Office, summoning Belldandy. Belldandy grants him one wish, and since Keiichi has a problem of going steady with a girlfriend (because he is a bit short), he wishes for someone like her to stay with him forever. She interprets this as Keiichi wanting her to stay with him forever; she is now bound to be with Keiichi forever (or at least until God-sama terminates the contract).
Characters
- Belldandy-Belldandy is the first of the Relief Goddess Office goddesses that we are introduced to. She is very pretty, with golden/light brown hair and triangular markings underneath her kind, blue eyes. Her forehead bears one of the characteristic goddess marks. She uses mirrors as her link between our world and Heaven, as well as for teleportation means. Among her favorite things are Darjeeling tea and the "Prince Of Wales" chocolate brand.
- Urd-Urd is Belldandy's older sister, and she's the second Relief Goddess Office goddess we meet. In the anime, she is introduced in episode 2, and in the manga she appears in volume 2. She's introduced when she materializes from Keiichi's television, which tells us that her teleportation medium and link to Heaven is through TV sets. Urd has tanned skin and flowing, slightly curled, white hair. She has green eyes, and like the other goddesses, her face carries the goddess markings.
In addition to acting as the system administrator for the Yggdrasil system back in Heaven, she's also the series' Cupid (love goddess). Urd is very good with magic potions, and has a special passion for sake. Oh, and she likes singing (karaoke and sake is a good mix :-). and hates polka.
- Skuld-Skuld is the youngest of the three goddesses, and makes her first appearance in episode three, and in volume 5 of the manga, where she materializes out of the water in Keiichi's bathtub -- much to Keiichi's surprise, since he was taking a bath at that moment (in the manga, Urd is in the bath instead of Keiichi). Skuld has black hair and dark brown eyes. In addition to being the Yggdrasil system's debugger, Skuld is very good (?) at building all sorts of mechanical inventions - most of them not functioning quite the way they should. Skuld is VERY fond of 131's Ice Cream, and she dislikes useless mecha.
- Keiichi Morisatto-Keiichi is the rather short, somewhat shy, but kind NIT student who accidentally ends up living with Belldandy. He's got dark hair and brown eyes. He is also the star driver of NIT's Motor Cycle Club (NIT MCC). He also can't swim!
