Other Your favorite deity from mythology?

Let's not include the Abrahamic faiths. Those religions are tricky...

So within real life paganism, who is your favorite deity and why?

Probably Diana. Mostly because of the Rex Nemorensis.

Rex Nemorensis was the title of the priest of Diana in the town of Aricia, but the position differed from other priesthoods in two way. For one, it was exclusive to runaway slaves. No freeman could ever claim the title. And secondly, you had to kill the previous priest in single combat to get it.

I just love it. It sounds like something from an overly edgy fantasy novel.
