DAFUQ'S A HUMAN FORM, AMIRIGHT GUYZ?????!

Ma'at
The residential, uhm.... Goddess? (I mean, "she" has a female voice)... of Truth, Order, Justice and Law, Ma'at is a key figure in representing Order against Chaos. As the one and only Feather of Truth, she has a vital role in the Weighings of the Heart, the ib of the soul is betted against her.
Despite being a mere feather and nothing more, Ma'at manages to be among the most chatty and most lively of the deities. She has rather limited mobility, thus tends to hitch a ride with others, mainly her closest colleagues Thoth and Anubis. For the same reason, she is also usually bored, and is always ready for some "adventure"... be it a mere tour somewhere in the Duat, or a near-death experience with some stupidly overgrown demon. Ma'at has a strong opinion about nearly everything, and is not afraid to be blatantly honest about it. She talks a lot... like, a lot. Being a Goddess (??) of Truth, she can tell easily when someone is lying, no matter how good their act is, and sees into the hearts of those around her. Despite all of this, she can be a voice of reason in the right moment, as well as a bit too chatty, but still greatly appreciated emotional support, mostly for Thoth.
Ma'at, while being rather big-mouthed when it comes to confrontations, is actually not that big of a fighter (no shit, really?). The best she can do is extend her, ehm... body, into a whip-like weapon that is more of a distraction or annoyance than an actual damage-dealer. She is exceptional at dispersing illusions, however. No matter how well woven the mirage is, she just tears right through it like it's not even there.

Now, I DO have a good reason for this idiocy right here. Y'see, while Ma'at had been depicted many times as a woman with wings and a feather stuck in her hair, she was not exactly a concrete goddess most of the time, so to speak. Usually she was a concept, a notion that was given a physical form, rather than an actual "person" that the mortals tried to keep happy, lest she smithed them down. That's why I chose this idea... and for sheer lulz, as well.
It had also been a huge dilemma for me, whether I wanted her in the story, and if yes, should she be the wife of Thoth, like she is sometimes in the myths. I felt like she could be useful if she was around, at the same time I didn't want Thoth to have a wife. This random-ass feather idea solved both problems rightaway.
Currently, she is the only character that has emoticons in her speech-bubbles. This is due to the fact that she speaks telepathically, thus her emotions carry over along with her words. Figured I will depict that with smileys.... Also she has no face. Give me a break, people.
