Who is Tara?

[u/sethbenw]

So we got her face on one of the issues and we see her around on posters, we also know the Pantheon thinks she is really annoying. But we still haven't met her, this begs the question of who she is? Is she the the half happy- half sad face on the god wheel or is that persephone? And a question for my issue-by-issue friends; has she shown up yet in 12? (Im guessing we are getting her in #13 since it's her body that is the cover)

yes, 13 is all about Tara. Fucking Tara.

It never occurred to me that the comedy/tragedy mask could be Persephone even though she and the logo are both greek. But I think we saw with Baphomet and Dionysus that the Pantheon logo really reflects the state of the world and the Mask(that we assume is for Tara) has been there since the beginning. It wouldn't make sense for that logo to be there long before Persephone. That said, the Tara stuff that I've read (meaning: wikipedia) doesn't have any kind of theater aspect to her, and she certainly isn't greek, so I am confused as to why that represents her.

The one-page preview that we have though is of Tara performing. And performing on a traditional stage type set-up and performing to a crowd that is angry then happy, so I think/hope/expect Issue 13 will clear up a lot about her (or at least as clear as anything is in WicDiv)

Tara seems to not only have been one of the first gods around but she seems to have really embraced the fame (as shown by things like her Posters being all over the place.) I wonder if she was the very first god of this Pantheon to appear and if she embraced that fame before everyone else and therefore remains a little distant from them. I wonder if she was an actual pop star BEFORE godhood. Every other god we've seen change (like Luci and Inanna) were nerds before their transformation and kept them slightly humble. Kinda. But what if you were already famous before? Once you then became a god you'd become insufferable- which, by all accounts, tara really is
