As a married woman, her unknown side is revealed. Her sexual side comes to the surface and she becomes a sexual symbol representing her divinity as a goddess of love. Her androgynous behavior makes her considered a woman who overcomes the barriers between genders, being called a "heroine", and who is able to also take on male roles.
