Mars (The World God Only Knows)

Mars is a character from The World God Only Knows anime and manga.

The next goddess found after Vulcan, Mars appears to be the most physically powerful, as befits her name. Mars seems serious and businesslike to the point where she seems completely inexperienced when it comes to love and romance. However, she agrees to help her host capture the target of her affections in return for assistance in finding her sisters.

She is the third youngest of the Jupiter Sisters.

In the AWA fics, Mars is considered a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Mars' true appearance has not been revealed. Whenever she takes control of Yui, Yui's hair is held together in a single braid and acquires a blond color. A white head band also appears on her head and her eyes turn red. Similar to her sisters, she also has a halo on her head and a pair of wings at her back, completing the transformation.

Personality
Mars has a rough, perpetually battle-ready personality that also borders on masculinity. She has a habit of using certain rude phrases that are not often heard from females. Being "a warrior who battles evil", she becomes very cautious when entering any unknown situations, as illustrated by her suggestion to Yui that she bring a weapon to her date with Keima, just to be safe. Due to her slight masculine nature — further promoted by her thirst for battle — Mars understands very little in the matters of romance. However, she has been shown to be quite flirtatious. Just like her sisters, Mars cares a great deal about her host, even going as far as taking control in times of danger. Although, because of her ignorance regarding romance, her attempts to make Keima love Yui are far from being romantic.

Abilities
Mars' strength has yet to be measured, but she is shown to be extremely powerful whenever she is in control of Yui. Mars is also a master fencer, and at one point (during Yui's date with Keima) wields a rapier to tear apart opponents' clothing without injuring them.

Trivia

 * Whenever Mars is in control of Yui's body, her hair acquires a blonde tint and is bound in a single braid. Additionally, a circlet rests upon her head.
 * The name "Mars" is derived from the Roman god Mars, the god of warfare.
 * Probably because the mythological Mars is the god of war, the Mars in the series tends to show a masculine personality. This may also be related to Yui's transformation from a girl to a boy.
 * Because of Yui's wearing of a boy's uniform, Mars is under the impression that in the human world, girls dress like boys and vice-versa.
 * Mars likes to gamble.
 * In the Volume 15 Omake, Mars still thinks that Yui is a boy, much to her host's distress.
