She places immense value on family, promises, and honor, viewing broken vows as one of the greatest offenses imaginable. Hera has little patience for arrogance, selfishness, or needless cruelty, and she does not hesitate to put even fellow gods in their place if they threaten the balance she protects. While she possesses tremendous compassion, she believes consequences are necessary for those who knowingly do wrong. Her love is powerful and unconditional, but so is her wrath when someone betrays those under her protection.
