Charis (mythology)

Charis (/ˈkærɪs/; Ancient Greek: Χάρις, or Kharis, "Grace"), is a goddess in Greek mythology. She is a member of the Charites (Ancient Greek: Χάριτες) — or Gratiae (Graces) in Roman mythology — who are goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, creativity and fertility. While the term Charis can refer to a member of this group generically, the name Charis is also used for specific goddesses in surviving sources.
