Sekhmet is the daughter of the Egyptian god Ra. She is a bloody deity, but also one of great nobility and power.
As a goddess of women and of vengeance, as well as the patron deity of Anubast, Sekhmet is a mix of almost tender protection, and savage, bloodthirsty slaughter. Reverence for females of all races is paramount in her worship, as is the pursuance of revenge, especially upon those who wrong females.
Sekhmet is a counterpart to Bast, and while Bast might be worshiped alone, Sekhmet is seldom worshiped without Bast, as the Scarlet Lady's half-sister often acts as a calming influence upon her, and they are known to be lovers as well as sisters (something that is considered normal among the worshipers of both Bast and Sekhmet, and emulated).
Sekhmet acts to remind males that there are consequences for their actions, a physical force that males can better understand than the more subtle entreaties of Bast.
