| - The Three Sisters are a group of three small islands in the Southern Sea to the south of the Inland Sea. The first is fertile with neatly tended orchards and small villages of thatched huts. It is populated by fair skinned people with long flaxen hair worn in a single plait down their back. They wave floral garlands and beat drums and kill outsiders because the island is sacred. The second is an extinct volcano with heavily timbered slopes. The third is dominated by palms and sand. In its centre is a lagoon with a narrow entrance on the south side of the island.

- Named after three sisters in ancient Valaxian mythology, Mariel, Kieta and Seatrice, who were banished to individual islands after attempting to trick the gods. Though, to be more precise, two did. The third, and youngest, Kieta, was banished not for doing something, but for not trying to stop her sisters, despite many oppurtunities. The mythological story is disputed to have originated as a fable. Other than this, the three islands are fairly unremakable.
- Once upon a time, when the dew of creation still lay wet upon the planes, there were three sisters. The youngest sister was the fairest being which had ever laid foot upon the earth and also the most cunning. The eldest was the wisest and darkly handsome, like the light of a full moon above the peaceful sea. The middle sister was as radiant and golden as the dawning of the new day as well as the most inquisitive and most eager. Their father watched over them from afar and together they made a beautiful and sometimes capricious trio, and all was well in the realm.
- Long ago, there lived three sisters under the curse of the Shadow’s Touch. None knew their secret, which they kept hidden in strict confidence amongst themselves. Trained in the arts of healing, they would lure their customers into solitude and there use their powers to cure them.

Yet their secret could not stay hidden, for their own lives never diminished, not even with the passing of years. People began to notice these three sisters who would not grow old.

- Urd is the eldest of the sister goddesses, and was sent to Heaven by her mother Hild when she was at a very young age. When Urd came to Heaven, Belldandy is already there. Urd is then assumed to have taken a guardian-type role over her younger sister from then on. Many years later, Skuld was born. Since Urd was most likely struggling with her demon side at that point (such as her angel and licensing examination), Belldandy was the guardian over Skuld.

- Urd is the eldest of the sister goddesses, and was sent to Heaven by her mother Hild when she was at a very young age. When Urd came to Heaven, Belldandy is already there. Urd is then assumed to have taken a guardian-type role over her younger sister from then on. Many years later, Skuld was born. Since Urd was most likely struggling with her demon side at that point (such as her angel and licensing examination), Belldandy was the guardian over Skuld. Although they are not full sisters (Belldandy and Skuld are, but Urd has a god as a father and a demon mother) by birth, they are everything sisters embody, especially when it comes to dangerous situations. A dialog from the Lord of Terror arc shows that tellingly. Keiichi: "You mean Urd isn't really your sister?" Belldandy: "Shh! Skuld might hear you!" Keiichi: "Y'mean Skuld doesn't know?" Belldandy: "Right. In fact, Urd herself might not know either. Actually we're not completely unrelated. We all have the same father. So we're half-sisters, at least. But we grew up together as if we were true sisters! We've always been sisters in our hearts, and so we always shall be." ... Skuld: "Urd will always be my sister, as far as I'm concerned." — OMG, Chapter 35 (DH) Belldandy rarely disobeys heavenly orders, the prominent situations are when it comes to Keiichi or as the continuing dialog shows, her sisters. While Urd and Skuld use to quarrel a lot, if the worst comes to the worst, they stand together without deliberation. Keiichi: "So don't you have to contact ... umm ... 'The Almighty One' ...?" Belldandy: "Judging from his attitude when he spoke to me I'm afraid he won't treat Urd very kindly." Skuld: "So you intend to disobey orders all by yourself?" ... Skuld: "So I'm with you on this one, sis." — OMG, Chapter 35 (DH) In fact, their quarrels are much more like an exciting game than something negative. The two chapter mini-story at the end of volume 20 empasizes that, when the two sisters fight for the right to select the TV channel. Skuld: "Where's the fun in just watching?" Urd and Skuld: "It's fun because we win to watch." ... Keiichi: "Geez, I can't tell whether those two get along well or not." Belldandy: "Oh, didn't you know?" Belldandy: "They get along very well." [Note: Some translations have this line like "I have never seen sisters before who get along better with each other." Probably the first version comes nearer to the original, but don't know really.] Keiichi: "Is that so?" Belldandy: — OMG, Chapter 129 (EC)
- Once upon a time, when the dew of creation still lay wet upon the planes, there were three sisters. The youngest sister was the fairest being which had ever laid foot upon the earth and also the most cunning. The eldest was the wisest and darkly handsome, like the light of a full moon above the peaceful sea. The middle sister was as radiant and golden as the dawning of the new day as well as the most inquisitive and most eager. Their father watched over them from afar and together they made a beautiful and sometimes capricious trio, and all was well in the realm. However, such paradise among the siblings could not last for long. The younger two were always exploring the faraway and wondrous places, discovering things they had never dreamed of. In time, however, the youngest two began exploring the shadowy reaches of the planes and they discovered that there were invaders there, creatures that had once served the cause of good but had been cast out. Herself headstrong, the youngest sister sympathized with these outsiders and, secretly, began treating with them as if they were her allies. When the older siblings learned of their sister's dealings with dark creatures, they confronted her. Unwilling to bend, the youngest sister lashed out at the middle one, striking so quickly that, at first, the middle sister thought the attack to be some kind of dark joke. Only when the oldest and wisest sibling intervened did the truth become known: the youngest sister had turned against her siblings and there was unrest in the realm as a result. The royal children, once idolized as a trio, had now been sundered forever. After the attack on her sibling, the youngest sister fled, then rallied her supporters to her side. For what seemed like eons, the youngest waged war on her older siblings, who in turn had marshaled their own forces. The lush and verdant land ran red with the blood of elves and violence became the standard of the day. Finally, after a long conflict, the elder sisters cast their youngest sibling out of their land. Those who allied with the youngest were marked and cast into the depths as well. The youngest sister embraced her new home and became queen of her own realm. But the harmony of the realm was forever broken. One day, the eldest sister summoned the middle to her presence and spoke thusly: "Sister, I am cross with thee. It is thou who are to be blamed for the events that had befallen our beloved land. Had it not been for thy insatiable curiosity, none of this would have happened. I cast thee from my heart, sister. Take those who would follow thee and make thine own fortune, far away."

- Long ago, there lived three sisters under the curse of the Shadow’s Touch. None knew their secret, which they kept hidden in strict confidence amongst themselves. Trained in the arts of healing, they would lure their customers into solitude and there use their powers to cure them. So attuned were they to their abilities that they could prolong the life of those they helped. Yet their secret could not stay hidden, for their own lives never diminished, not even with the passing of years. People began to notice these three sisters who would not grow old. “Let us make a pact,” they said one night, when news reached them of their upcoming doom. Word of their existence had finally reached the Duke, who now rode towards their home in order to capture them in the name of the Light and Church. Together they fled into the forest, deep within the woods, traveling without rest under the green canopy above. Yet they were no match for the noble and his men. Once it was clear that the end would soon be upon them, they clasped their hands and joined in a circle. They say the Light guides our way and keeps us safe as we sojourn through life. They say it is so powerful that the Holy Glow will defeat the Shadow on each turn. Yes, so they say. Yet they also say that on that day, from somewhere deep in the forest, came a light that would blind the sun itself. It washed across the land for miles and miles. When villagers from the township sought out their liege lord and the fate of the three sisters, they found no trace of them. It is said that to this day, there is a place somewhere in the woods where the trees grow twisted and malformed, where voices whisper in agony during the nights, where even wild animals do not dare enter. There is place in the woods that stands as a symbol that much as life eternal can be a blessing, so can it be a curse. And among all the sounds of horror and anguish, they say if one strains their ears hard enough a song can be heard: the song of three sisters who once made a pact never to be found and punish with eternal life all those who try.
