"Avoiding conflict is certainly a choice. Few would say it is wrong.
But is that truly what is in your heart?"

Appearance
Cosmos has long, flowing blonde hair that reaches all the way past her hips, some of the shorter layers around her head have a certain bounce to them. On top of her head sits a small, golden crown with a transparent veil attached to it. A similar fabric hangs loosely around her arms. Her dress is so long that it reaches the floor, and has a pale green/blue color. Cosmos's eyes are sky blue. On each wrist, she wears a golden bracelet, and she has a golden armlet around both of her biceps, her dress is also decorated with the same gold, as are her earrings.
Personality:
As can be expected from a goddess of harmony, Cosmos has a calm, quiet personality, and an air of serenity and peace surrounds her at most times. She has a friendly and compassionate heart, and would do anything to protect those closest to her, even if it means endangering herself.
Having been based on Cid’s own wife, she possesses human emotions and is capable of understanding the struggles they go through. As such, she can identify with her warrior’s emotional turmoil and advice them on how to proceed from there. Cosmos cares deeply for her warriors and holds a tremendous amount of respect for each and every one of them. She is highly protective of them, but not overly so. She allows them to make their own mistakes, believing they will learn more from seeing the results of their own actions than if she were to tell them exactly what to do.
Cosmos is also patient and forgiving, and doesn’t enjoy fighting. Rather, she fights out of self defense rather than going out and taking a more aggressive approach to her enemies. She understands that some fights can’t be avoided however, and doesn’t stop her warriors from taking the fight to their enemies, nor would she just passively sit back as someone tries to kill her.
The goddess dreams of a world without discord, but is realistic enough to understand that such a world likely wouldn’t be able to exist.
History:
In the series' backstory, Cosmos was originally a manikin. But unlike the others, she was the only known successful specimen to have the full memories of a single person: Cid's wife. However, the Lufenians used her as an alternative means to soothe Chaos. After ending up in World B, Cosmos ruled the world alongside Chaos before Garland appeared to begin the conflict for Cid to oversee the powers of Harmony and Discord at their fullest. It was said in her profile that she was the one who first summoned her warriors, faithfully following orders of the Great Will, to make Chaos fight her.
During one of the earliest cycles, Prishe introduces Cosmos to the Warrior of Light another perfect manikin modeled after Cid, an individual that neither god summoned. While Cosmos was initially reluctant, she eventually imbued him with her light to serve as one of her champions. It was hinted that she was aware of the Warrior's true nature, as well as Prishe's name for him.
Cosmos appeared in a couple of official quests. One where she accepted Shantotto's formal resignation as her warrior when the wizard decided to leave World B and escape to the Rift. Another when Cosmos and Garland talked to each other in her Sanctuary, where she accepted to be killed by him when he told her he wanted to see the truth about the cycles and purification. She answered that the Goddess of Harmony is also the goddess of death, as her demise would be the removal of all her warriors. This became apparent when Prishe disappeared, never to return again for the next cycle, and her fate unknown.
After the events of the first eleven cycles of conflict, Cosmos finally devises a way to put an end to it by giving her warriors her own energy, which would manifest into Crystals after enough victories. However, as a result, Cosmos deliberately weakens herself as her plan is ultimately derailed by the appearance of the manikins and Jecht's conversion into a Warrior of Chaos.
Furthermore, Cosmos is shocked to learn the Warrior and Kain were forced to take out the rest of their allies to save them from the manikins before those remaining are led by Lightning to close the portal to stop more manikins from entering. Though Cosmos loses Lightning, Kain, Tifa, Laguna, Yuna and Vaan, she gains new warriors in Terra, Cloud and Tidus before sacrificing herself to save the Warrior from the horde of manikins.
Revived after the previous conflict, Cosmos finds herself severely weakened as Golbez appears and reminds her of the Crystals she entrusted to her warriors. With that, her resolve still strong as before, Cosmos transmits the message to her warriors to obtain the Crystals if they are to stand a chance against Chaos. To ensure they succeed this time, Cosmos presents herself to each of the Warriors of Cosmos whenever they are in need of her guidance: Giving Onion Knight advise to follow his heart in a way to save Terra from the Cloud of Darkness, advising Cecil to fight with his own power and by his allies' side rather than solely relying on them, encouraging Zidane to believe in his friends as they believe in him, and gives Firion the will to follow his dream.
However, after Golbez reminds that her gambit would ultimately result in the heroes' true demise, a concerned Cosmos appears before the Warrior of Light to have him stop. Surprised by the Warrior's bravery and vow to save the world, Cosmos makes a promise as well, to believe in her friends until the end.
After the ten warriors retrieve their Crystals and return to her, Cosmos tells them the war has been decided and they will know true darkness. Cosmos teleports the warriors to the Edge of Madness within the Land of Discord, Chaos's realm. Chaos incinerates the goddess, and the heroes begin to fade. However, the power of the Crystals bring them back, allowing the heroes a chance to strike back at Chaos.
During their final encounters with the villains, Exdeath reveals the Crystals contain Cosmos's power, and making them shine weakened her so she could be destroyed. Cosmos, and the villains who guided the heroes to the Crystals, knew this. Cosmos allowed herself to be destroyed due to her faith in the heroes, and her belief that, with the cycle of war broken, they can defeat Chaos at last.
However, after Chaos's defeat, Cosmos reforms (as a result of the crystals of the "warriors who were defeated despite their strongest resolve," according to the end of the Confessions of the Creator storyline) and proceeds to talk to Cid about how it would seem the conflict is to continue. She turns down Cid's offer to leave the slowly failing world and wishes to remain even if it meant she would also fade from existence. The final scene with Cosmos ends when she is surrounded by the images of the ten current warriors before they fade out as she walks away.
