The wife of Mithra is a warrior much like her husband, but is too a bringer of life, serving as the caring mother of mankind, even though they are not descended from her for she is a maiden and intends to be so forever. She watches over humanity, and listens closely to their prayers, happy to grant them boons for their sacrifices. She does not judge the true value of what is sacrificed to her, but looks at what it was worth to the one who sacrificed it. A king who sacrifices ten oxen to her, for example, is not as favorable as a poor farmer who sacrifices his only two oxen.

When she was first born, and was worshiped by humanity as Ahura Mazda instructed them to. She made a shepard the ruler of the earth for his sacrifice of all the animals he owned, putting great faith in the Goddess that she would listen to his prayers, for if she did not, he was ruined. When Angra Mainyu saw this, he wished to twist this new Goddess' good will and offered her and, after disguising himself, made the same sacrifice that the shepard did, and begged that Anahita remove all men from all nations of the world. Not as naive as Angra Mainyu believed, Anahita refused, and immediately blessed a warrior who scarified to her with the power to steal all of Angra Mainyu's wives, and he dared not chase after the warrior and his wives for Anahita was ready to take up her arms and armor to defend her worshiper.
