Aphrodite sees herself as the personification of love. If pressed into a philosophical argument about some apparently egoistical plan, she would react with hurt astonishment. She is only out to promote love, and since love = Aphrodite, what�s all the fuss about?
She revels in the regalia and demeanour of extreme, if conventional, femininity. Her vocabulary is extremely whimsical, but as a master of body language, she usually has no trouble getting her message through.
Her son, Cupid, is specializing in romantic love, and she usually can't refuse meddling in his careful matchings. Other Olympians seldom come to her for advice, unless it is about love. She has no real enemies among the gods, apart from a budding rivalry with Discord, who shares some of her mentality but not her portfolio.
As far as mortals go, her growing friendship with Gabrielle is gradually changing her alignment into chaotic good. Gentle, caring love, previously seen as something on the bottom of the ladder of amorous Darwinism, as far as Aphrodite is concerned, clearly has an untapped potential.
And for all her pettiness and egotism, Aphrodite will never under any circumstances try to kill anyone or use directly harming attacks.
