Personality
The "magical girl" character, of which Belldandy is an example, typically combines powerful abilities with very feminine characteristics.[8] For Western audiences, a comparison can be drawn with the characters of Samantha Stephens from Bewitched and Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie.[8][26] As such, Belldandy is depicted as being very sweet and exceptionally kind-hearted, with very "old-fashioned" sensibilities.[3] Combined with domestic skills portrayed through the series[27] and her loyalty to Keiichi, this makes her a classic example of the concept of Yamato Nadeshiko.[28]
Belldandy is exceptionally kind-hearted, even for a goddess. She can easily sense other people's emotions and tries her best to be empathetic to all those around her, displaying a combination of "serene beauty and acceptance".[29] She rarely holds a grudge and is always willing to forgive anyone who does injury to her.Even though Belldandy tries her best to be as kind as possible, it is revealed that at times she can become very insecure and sad, especially when she is confronted with an implication that involves Keiichi in one way or another.[30] This aspect of her character provides one of the biggest plot points in the Ah! My Goddess movie: Belldandy's possessiveness of Keiichi could make her an easy target for manipulation or even brainwashing, if the right buttons were pressed; her jealousy of Morgan Le Fay was what allowed Celestin, her teacher, to lure Belldandy into his plans.[31]
As noted by Perper and Cornog, Belldandy, as a depiction of what they term "kirei", is comfortable "being loved and admired" and very much aware of her own beauty[29] — yet this does not equate to vanity.
Abilities
Belldandy is unflinchingly kind, patient, and warm, not only to Keiichi but to everyone, without exception. This, however, does not mean that she is to be taken lightly; Belldandy is licensed as a "goddess first-class, unlimited", and as such is depicted as being highly skilled. Her power is so great that she is required to wear a special earring on her left ear which constantly seals the full brunt of her magical strength.[33] The only time at which she has ever revealed her true strength is during the "Lord of Terror" arc. At the end of this arc, Belldandy completely reconstructed their home from rubble, mentioning that doing so only took one ten-millionth of her power.[34][35][36][37]
Belldandy's capacities and talents are diverse, whether magical or worldly. Not only can she change the appearance of her clothing[38] and levitate (and, by extension, fly), but she can also teleport through mirrors,[39] speak to and understand animals,[40][41] "see" people's emotions as auras,[42] heal minor wounds by speeding metabolism,[43] and "speak" to machines.[44][45] Furthermore, she is a superb cook,[46] and her singing skills are held to be the best in the heavens. She is also incapable of becoming inebriated on alcoholic drinks, but instead becomes so with soda.[47] (One sip is enough to send her in a drunken rampage — although given her personality, "rampage" takes an entirely different, but no less destructive, meaning)
Holy Bell
Each of the fully-fledged goddesses in the series is teamed with an "angel". Belldandy's angel is called Holy Bell (Blesséd Bell in some versions of the English manga); her elemental attribute is wind. Like the other angels in the series, Holy Bell augments Belldandy's magical powers when called upon, and like all angels, she also reflects her master's current state.[49] For example, when Belldandy falls unconscious after being infected with a virus, Holy Bell emerges comatose and covered with crystals that represent the virus.
