I’m extremely surprised that no one else has headcanoned Nike (goddess of victory) as aroace.
The main “aroace goddesses” (Hestia, Athena, and Artemis) were all virgin goddesses that were immune to Aphrodite’s power, hence why people often headcanon them as aroace.
While Nike herself isn’t said to be able to resist Aphrodite’s power, she is a virgin goddess by choice and never took a lover, which might actually prove even more how she’s aroace. Even though she isn’t immune, she still had no interest in anyone.
Anyways we love our aroace queens <33

Nike Goddess of victory
"To Nike, Fumigation from Manna. O powerful Nike, by men desired, with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired, thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell contending rage and molestation fell…”
Orphic Hymn 33 to Nike (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.)

The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology
Nike (Νικη meaning ‘victory’) was the winged goddess of victory both in war and in peaceful competition in Greek mythology. When Zeus (king of the gods) was gathering allies at the start of the Titan War, Styx (goddess of the underworld river Styx) brought her four children, Zelos (daimon of rivalry), Kratos (god of strength), Bia (goddess of force) and Nike into the god's service. She was appointed his charioteer and together the four of them became sentinels of Zeus' throne. In Athens, Nike also became a servant to Athena (goddess of wisdom) as well as an attribute of her due to the prominent status she held in her patron city. The fusion of the two goddesses has also contributed to the ambiguity surrounding Nike's origins. It’s unclear whether she originated from a character trait of Athena or has always existed as an independent deity.

🏆🗡️ Nike - Cabin 17 🪽🥇
You are the best / You seem to stand out from the rest / Ooh, your intentions / To be more than an honorable mention / You must feel that victory / Release that energy and ride like the wind / With fire in your eyes, shake those butterflies / Go ahead and go for the win now

Becky: Love, what do you have there?
Billy: Nothing.
Becky: William, im seeing something moving under your shirt. What. Is. It.
Billy: ... *Takes a cat off his shirt* She was cold.
Becky: Well, at least is only on- *more meows* ... Bill, it's only one, right? Bill- WILLIAM COME BACK HERE DON'T RUN-
Seeing Bill scurry away with a teeny tiny kitten in his palm and most certainly a few more in his shirt made Becky's chest throb with love.
Or maybe she was out of breath trying to keep up with his long strides.
He had finally stopped, a sheepish flush on his cheeks as he held an arm to his chest to hold the hidden ones secure, and cradled the tiny calico in his free hand.
"Bill... Its okay."
"But they were so cold Becky..." His pout and sad eyes gave Becky another chest twinge.
He held the one out to her to inspect. It's eyes were barely open, it's little tail just a triangle of fluff. It's itty bitty paws kneaded at his calloused palms, it's purr bigger then it's body.
"How many Bill?" She took the purring calico so he could pull them all out for inspection.
Three tiny kittens, a tortie, a tabby, and a little tuxedo meowed in protest at leaving the cozy space of Bill's chest.
She'd complain too.
"They're just babies" he cooed, making Becky's insides melt at the tone.
Heaven help her if she saw him with an actual infant in his hands...

The Headless Goddess. One of the causes of a plague of madness in my country. Years and years of increasingly absurd and terrifying cultivation of blind worship along with already high tolerance for violence and oppression. And now the majority don't even bat an eye on the war, because we can't be wrong, right? The Great Nation of Victory always fights for all things right against all things wrong, period.
It's so scary. And the scariest part is that they simply don't want to listen. They choose this, because the reality is worse, they're protecting their illusions with the blood of the country they've already saw as an antipode.
