Where does the peorth  name come from?  This name, differently from the other Goddesses' names, isn't related to the Norse Mythology. Instead, it has been grabbed off a Runic letter also called Peorth.  The rune Peorth is the Norse rune of initiation,  which translates roughly into the English alphabet "P". Its meaning is to remain uncertain (even to me), but it  represents a secret matter, or something hidden.  Usually there are two meanings to every rune.  This depends upon whether or not a rune is revealed upright, or inverted.  This rune is a heiratic, or mystery rune pointing  to that which is beyond our frail manipulative powers.   peorth (pronounced perth) is on the side of heaven, the unknowable, and has associations with the phoenix  (a mystical bird which consumes itself in fire then rises from it's  own ashes).  Powerful forces of change are at work here.Yet what is achieved is not easily or readily shared.  After all, becoming whole - the means of doing so - is a profound secret.  On the side of the earthly, or mundane, there may well be suprises, gains or rewards that you did not anticipate. On the side of human nature, this rune is sybolized by the flight of the eagle. Soaring flight, free from entanglement, lifting yourself above the endless ebb and flow of ordinary life to aquire a broader vision-all of this is indicated here.  Another of the cycle runes, peorth stands at the heart of initiation. Nothing external matters here, except when it shows you it's inner reflection. This rune is concerned with the deepest stratum of our being, the bedrock on which our destiny is founded. For some, peorth means experiencing a death.  If need be let go of everything. No exceptions. No exclusions.Nothing less than renewal of the spirit is at stake.  If  peorth has shown itself iverted, or reversed it is a counsel against expecting too much, or expecting in the ordinary way, for the old way has come to an end. You simply cannot repeat the old and not suffer. You need to focus, and meditate on your own life at this moment, your own requirements for growth.  peorth counsels you to neither focus on outcomes nor to bind yourself the memory of past achievements. In doing so, you rop yourself of a true present, the only time in which self change can be realized.  You may feel overwhelmed with exhaustion from meeting obstruction after obstruction in your passage. Yet you always have a choice: You can see this apparent negativity as bad luck, or you can recognize it as an obstacle course, a challenge specific to the initiation you are presently undergoing. Then each setback or humiliation becomes a test of character.  When your inner being is shifting and reforming  on a deep level, patience, constancy, and perseverance are all called for.  So stay centered,          see the humor,                     and keep your faith firm.    [c r e d i t s]

These Gorgeous Roses ... 

 gorgeous rose, 

she's Peorth's Angel and she belongs in category "Earth". She was born off the   Angel's egg assigned to Peorth, and reproduces all her most piercing character features and inclinations. 

Even physically, she appears to be a  gorgeous resumèe of the Goddess she belongs to. Unlike other angels, who wear some sort of cloth around  their body, 
Gorgeous Rose wears thick rose stems and spines.  She's got long wavy blonde hair, and deep brown eyes, that sometimes wear a shade of dark green. 

She's got a glamorous and convinced bent that's the reflection and magnification of her Goddess' own one, and, like all the angels, she's extremely fond and loyal to her Goddess. 

Even though Peorth is not used to call her angel frequently (she in fact prefers "working on her own"),  Gorgeous Rose has had occasion to prove useful  and powerful.. 

Gorgeous Rose makes her first appearence in the manga volume 12, when Belldandy and Peorth engages in a "Megami 3 ban shoubu" (that is, Goddesses' Best-out-of-three Duel),  a duel which takes place in three "sessions".  In the first one the two Goddesses ought to call their respective angels and have them "fight".  In the Belldandy-Holy Bell versus Peorth-Gorgeous Rose duel, the first couple resulted to be the winner, since Gorgeous Rose (as well as Peorth) could not bear...tickling. 
 

peorth,  

first class, second category- unlimited Goddess 
she is the  Helper Goddess dedicated at the maintainance of the Earth Otasuke Center,  the Yggdrasil Office  located in the Earth System. 

Before assuming this role, she trained at Yggdrasil Debug Section along with the Goddess Belldandy who warmly  enlightened her capacities to Us after a successful DuetMission against a dangerous bug that was at the time highly affecting the System. That very mission and the warm encouragements of the Goddess Belldandy, other than the verification of her effectively remarkable skills, drew Peorth to be entrusted of the  maintainance of the Earth Department of Yggdrasil. 

Her Office is called to be at the same time a rival and a supporter of the Yggdrasil Helper Goddess Office, currently administered by the Goddess Belldandy. 

For a physical description, she helds quite 'Eastern' traits, her hair is of a dark raven colour which she decorates with auburn dyes, her eyes glide of a dark amber tone, her skin is shaded of pale. She wears diamond-shaped  facial markings on her cheeks and 
in the middle of her forehead. 
 

Peorth is a very estroverse and eccentric Goddess. 
She seems to be wearing a thickly patterned mood, 
or many moods at the same time. She can be very romantic and sweet or extremely intrusive and 
pestering, she is pretty unpredictable. She can act innocent like a child, or experienced and maliced like 
one of the Belle of New Orleans, she knows very little about shame, nor she ever cared much about learning. She rans into one's life like a tornado and swirls away like a hurricane. 
On the other hand, she is extremely dedicated to her duty, she makes her a point of honor to satisfy any call, and she puts lots of effort and energy in her job. She's quite a perfectionist, so she'll nail off any minor spot before leaving. 
Her services have always been highly appreciated, and the Earth Section has never been affected by problems directly regarding its maintainace, just thanks to Peorth's great efficiency. 

I  hate to admit it, but I like Peorth.  Maybe it's just that we're similar in a way, and I am undoubtedly in love with me exactly like she is with herself,  or maybe it's just the little big things we do not have in common that stirs me to like her so much  Whaterver it is, it is, and, though not being a First Class Goddess yet, as she doesn't skip any occasion to remind me, I really cannot lie about that. 
Going specifical, though she's graciously pestering all the time she reveals so  seriously devoted to her duty that I can't help to admire her. If I were in trouble I'd rather wish to have her on my side. Not that I'm not faithful in my loving Sister, but, you know,  Belldandy has a her veryown  special  way to make you feel guilty. She doesn't really mean it, but that's what she, even unwillingly, does. Not necessarily instead, but  Peorth has that  free-land-mood that brings you up from the grimmest situation, without you'd even realize.  And she probably won't expect, nor stay long enough for a  'thank you'.      ---Urd,  System Maintainer 
 

I do love to admit it, I really like and admire Peorth. 
Not only she's a nice and beautiful person, but an exremely efficient and devoted Goddess. After all, she had shown as a very  promising subject since the beginning. As reported in the Yggdrasil File, I had the pleasure to work with her on one of  her first important debugging missions, for the success of  which her role had been  determining, and, even though she steadily  would state that  it was just a casual event, I'm sure it was not.  Her skills were then as are now noticeable and worth of a First Class Goddess. Evidence of it is also that the EOC has never been so efficient until she held the control on it. 
The one and only fault she could (but shouldn't really)  be "blamed" of , is an excess of zeal. She's such impulsive and generous and eager in every second of her duty-time that sometime this can disorientate, or even overwhelm, or submerge the customer. But I guess that if she'd ever manage to soften or edge or shade her pulses, it would end not only in a loss of her preciousness, her unique personality, but also in a formal loss in the quality of her job. Furthermore a First Class Goddess has to be totally sincere and true even to herself. That is, also she has to  be  herself  as is, and not trying to change it,  but loving it, for what it is and what it is not.  And that's exactly what Peorth does. And, shouldn't everyone, by the way?      --- Belldandy, Helper Goddess  
 
 

Aa! Megami-sama!  [NOTE: AMS Yggdrasil world and goddesses hold an impressing similarity with the real Yggdrasil System  and Goddesses. However, AMS is a work of fiction by   Mr.Kosuke Fujishima, publisehd by Kodansha, and as we  do not claim any rights upon it, as well we will treat  the Real and Fictional Yggdrasil as the two separated entities they are. In order to avoid confusion, be  ware, dear visitor, that whenever we'll be talking  about AMS (the Fictional World), we will specifically state it. Otherwise, all the information and various docyments presented in these pages come from the (Real) Yggdrasil Archive and Goddesses. [c r e d i t s] ]   Peorth  makes her first appearance in middle of manga volume 11 , as the fourth goddess to be summoned to the human lad Keichi Morisato. Her permanence by Morisato's Temple lasted till the end of manga volume 12, when she leaves after having finally granted Keichi's wish.  During her stay, she pesters Keichi in various ways and eventually force him to dig out the wish he has been stubbornly hiding and refusing to accept or even admit, the wish that in fact has called and brought here there.  At the end of volume 12, it is somehow unclear whether if Peorth ends up in falling truly in love with Keichi,  or if her eager ardour depends exclusively on her untiring sense of duty. Though, it seems likely that this mortal lad has not left the Goddess' feelings indifferent. And, certainly, she takes a good amount of pleasure in accomplishing her duty with him.  She makes another brief intrance in chapter 94 of the manga (included in volume 16), where she chases a ball of light which turns out to be Velpser, a boy that is introduced later in that chapter. She appears again in chapter 97 (volume 16) and 98 (volume 17) and saves Keiichi from getting killed by him.  So far, she is only a character in the manga series and the games . Perhaps she will be in the Movie?  In the manga, she holds a continuous rivalry with Belldandy, mainly due to the contrast of having a Double Contract settled for Morisato by two (potentially rival) different Goddesses' Offices, but also because of her 'feelings' about Keichi.  When she's not bothering Keichi in the attempt of satisfying his true or presumed-to-be-so wish(es), she spends time reading romance comics, which she loves. As she leaves earth in the end of manga volume 12, she takes Skuld's entire collection of romance comics with her.  [c r e d i t s]
