Considering they’re immortal as long as they desire to live, and that a god can only be harmed by a fellow god, they ain’t very impressed or surprised.

Ghirias, Lord of the Earth, is also known as the Defender and Destroyer by her followers.

Once mortal, Ghirias ascended into godhood after stumbling upon the grave of the previous Lord of Earth and taking the power that sat in his skull. She attracted the attentions of Albarok and Tsuhiryss, who didn’t appreciate the idea that they could be replaced. They tried to eliminate Ghirias, but killing off a mortal with godlike powers is easier said than done, and it was only a matter of time before her outrage led to her to finally ascend into godhood.

It’s easier to be angry than afraid, after all.

Ghirias’s blood is deadly; it infects living things and causes them to near instantly crystallize. Only other gods can harm a god, but the crystallizing properties of her blood make her clashes with her fellow Lords causes more collateral damage than the scuffles themselves. Soil contaminated by Ghirias’s blood bolsters the growth and vitality of plants that grow in it, but they become mobile and hostile(like the Ruins movie).

While Albarok has one form he manipulates, and Tsuhiryss has multiple bodies he can control at once, Ghirias has many vessels, but can only control one at a time. Her consciousness can leap from one vessel to the other quickly, but the empty form becomes a completely inert hunk of metal that’s likely to just topple over and squash someone. 

Vessels that go unused for long periods of time eventually start to root themselves into their surroundings and become tree-like structures. It’s common for Ghirias’s followers to use those sprouted vessels as places of worship and build a shrine around it.

If you touched Ghirias the wrong way, you’d probably cut your hand

Remember Albarok? Remember when I said there were other Lords like him? Well here’s Ghirias, Lord of the Earth, and she’s still a wip here. Just know that there’s a whole lot of glowing and plant things and mortals ascending into godhood going on.

I love Ghirias... what's she like?

She’s Big, she’s Strong, and she’s Angery

When she started out being a new god, she was pretty furious about Albarok and Tsuhiryss trying to kill her, but she mellowed out over time into just being grumpy, tired, and just barely tolerating the other gods. Nonetheless, she can and will throw down with the other Lords if they get within arms’ reach and say something stupid.

She’s also a LOT more invested in how mortals feel about the gods doing things, and is way more likely to actually listen to people when they have problems. Albarok won’t care, Tsuhiryss only listens because he wants to know everything, but Ghirias will actually give feedback/do something about it. That being said, she also has way less tolerance for bad mortal behavior; if you do something morally abhorrent, Ghirias will kick down your door and maul you while Albarok and Tsuhiryss are like 

[beethereal-knight]

is there ever the chance that any two gods that you've imagined, whether you've shown them to us or not, would actually like each other and get along? and, to take the question one step further, get into a relationship with all the potential great benefit/disaster that such a union would bring upon the world around them?

WELL...... 

Albarok and Tsuhiryss do like Ghirias because she brings something new to the table after having to deal with each other for x thousands of years. 

Ghirias, on the other hand, is pretty conflicted about how she feels about ol’ Tsu and Alba. They tried to kill her when she was mortal, but it’s been a few hundreds of years since then and, because all three of them are immortal and Ghirias is forced to live with them, she might as well try to like them.

As for love and relationships, let’s just say that if any of them got together, that would be the start of the tragic backstory of a Soulsborne boss.
