Hindu Mythology has a lot of the gods being aspects/faces of each other.

Don't they hold all three to be equals, but pay homage to one above the other two because they are all aspects of the same thing but that one is more important? Brahma being the whole universe and too big to worship.

That too, which means that any attempt to classify Hinduism as either monotheistic or polytheistic is going to end with arguments.

All this is a good explanation. Basically the Hindu gods and goddesses are all aspects of Brahma, designed to help people connect with it and focus worship. People favor different gods to address different needs in their system of beliefs. Kali(who is sorta kinda Durga) is often associated with overcoming ego. She is closely associated with Shiva(the destroyer) but not his consort, and is theoretically an equal being, though she is not worshiped as widely. Vishnu is a more protective entity, and worshiped most widely, but most Hindu try to choose a god that fits them, and generally try to be accepting of others focus of worship, and no deity is "better" than any other, merely more aligned to an individual.
Hinduism is an extremely interesting system.

The consorts of the gods are usually their mirrors/complements anyway, with aspects that meet their own role.

One of the more evocative images of Kali is her dancing on corpses as she annihilates everything without restraint, IIRC.

Parashakti) and her assistants, the Matrikas, wound the demon Raktabija, in various ways and with a variety of weapons in an attempt to destroy him. They soon find that they have worsened the situation for with every drop of blood that is dripped from Raktabija he reproduces a clone of himself. The battlefield becomes increasingly filled with his duplicates.[23] Durga, in need of help, summons Kāli to combat the demons. It is said, in some versions, that Goddess Durga actually assumes the form of Goddess Kāli at this time.

Out of the surface of her (Durga's) forehead, fierce with frown, issued suddenly Kali of terrible countenance, armed with a sword and noose. Bearing the strange khatvanga (skull-topped staff ), decorated with a garland of skulls, clad in a tiger's skin, very appalling owing to her emaciated flesh, with gaping mouth, fearful with her tongue lolling out, having deep reddish eyes, filling the regions of the sky with her roars, falling upon impetuously and slaughtering the great asuras in that army, she devoured those hordes of the foes of the devas.[24]

Kali consumes Raktabija and his duplicates, and dances on the corpses of the slain

Durga is the protector aspect, but when protection fails, she becomes Kali the all-destroyer.

With the great chaos that is Hinduism, I can't shake that a lot of mythology involved two boys arguing.
"My god can totally beat up yours."
"Naha. He has four arms."
"Mine has six."
"Yeah, mine can't be backstabbed he has a face on his back."
"Mine has four faces!"
"Mine has six and the one on his butt is yours!"

Now I'm curious... who gave Durga her name, did we find out? I mean, did she choose that aspect in-character and name her self? Did Anna name her? I got the impression that the Cores already have names...

Random wild guess: The cores are actually the deities as per Persona showing up to fight off the "demonic" Antagonists!

Yup, random villager A and his family, who happened to have Hindu as their religion.

Cant remember where but way back I think it was mentioned that one of the refuge families Anna saved named Durga.

Valkyries tend to name their frames and if they stay with them for any notable amount of time whilst thinking of the frame by the name, even a period as short as 72 hours synched, the frame will have a tendency to keep it, though a new Valkyrie could rename the frame just as easily.

FYI: edits below
Setsuna named Kosenjoubi, but then, she's had around ~70 synced hours, so it was named a while back.

Durga was named by an Hindu family of refugees who arrived into your town after you saved them from Antagonists fairly early on, you decided to keep it as you hadn't bothered to name it before hand.

Unless WoG about Anna is based on Anna's faulty memories. :V
 
@LegacySC

I don't mean to be annoying, but I think you'll want to devote some more time towards proofreading this quest. We've started to go completely crazy, rather than the standard SV partially crazy.

Weren't this supposed to be higher?

Things to focus after WFM.
 
Wait. It's a major bit of Kali's legend that she got so into killing demons that she didn't stop until she accidentally steps on her husband, who lay down in front of her.

... Are we going to go berserk and then get cool-down hugged by the MC?

Edit: Like, is that why the whole Kali thing tripped spoilers?
