Hephaestus character description
Hephaestus, the god of fire was highly delicate and weak from his birth, like a flame would arise out of a little spark and could easily be extinguished. Hera, was so desperate for a perfect child so Zeus would pay more attention and favor her child over Athena. Hera’s wish was shattered when she saw the weak and unhealthy little form of Hephaestus. She locked him away for a long time, and later abandoned him. Water Goddess Thetis took him in and raised him as her own. Thetis saw lots of hope and kindness in Hephaestus.
Hephaestus grew up strong but lame, due to the injury caused by Hera’s abandonment. However, being born with the ability to create, he made himself a leg and never gave up on the hope of seeing his mother again one day.
Heph is usually very easy going, even-tempered, kind, and generous. He is in charge of making everyone’s “gadgets” after the Cyclops went away. Hephaestus treasures Aphrodite and does everything he could to keep her happy, so he makes lots of pretty things for Aphrodite…

The earlier quote from theoi.com have helped giving me a better understanding. I’ve been confused and couldn’t understand why would the son of Zeus and Hera (even if as some other versions of mythology says, of Hera alone) could be “ugly”. After all, all gods and goddesses are supposed to be “beautiful”. That’s the other important trait besides being “powerful” that makes them different from man.
So in “MYth”, Hephaestus isn’t “ugly”… he was born small and weak. Abandoned by Hera, but fortunately good old Oceanus took him in and Thetis raised him…. and Hephaestus grew up to become a strong god.
Hephaestus wishes Hera would love him as a mother. Being such a gentle god, he could never bring himself to hate Hera even though she didn’t want him.
It may take a while before I work on a MYth comic for Hephaestus, but I will be sketching him occasionally. ^__^
