5 times babies hate him.

Hera’s children look 99% like her in my head

She’s Hephaestus’s only parent so he’s a clone of her except he’s male and had a bad leg

I don't see Zeus as Pasithea's father either so ditto on the one parent thing

Out of the traits Eileithyia got from her parents, she got them all from Hera, I think that should include her looks

Ares has to look like Hera so most of his female descendants can look like Hera (because this is the only explanation I have for Zeus screwing Ares’s mortal descendants but not Apollo’s or Hermes’s… he wants a Hera lookalike sometimes without dealing with Hera’s personality)

Hebe was called the most beautiful goddess once and Hera was called the most beautiful goddess several times and I know Zeus is beautiful too but Hebe is married to Heracles, it just fits way better if she looks like Hera than Zeus

I like to think Enyo looks a lot like Ares so another Hera look alike

It would be so much more angsty if Angelos looked like the parent that hated her

and Eleutheria... she can look like Zeus I guess

In what source is Eleutheria, the goddess of liberty, a daughter of Hera?

Pseudo-Hyginus (Fabulae Preface) says that Jupiter had Libertas by Juno, but I'm not aware of any Greek source that makes Hera the mother of Eleutheria.

For once I agree with Theoi and find it plausible that the reference to Libertas as a daughter of Juno and Jupiter could actually be an error and that the goddess in question should be Eileithyia/Lucina instead. The names Lucina and Libertas are nothing alike, but Eileithuia/Eleuthuia/Eleuthia and Eleutheria are close enough that a confusion could conceivably arise, as seems to have happened in the case of Selene and Semele so that Luna somehow became the mother of the forth Dionysos by Jupiter according to Cicero's De Natura Deorum 3.23.

Or maybe those are genuine if less common traditions, I can't say, but given that Lucina isn't mentioned among the children of Jupiter and Juno in the Fabulae I think this theory is pretty reasonable.
