I 2nd that! I never thought of that,but that would be a very good plot twist for Fujishima-sensei to throw in. She was especially cold to Urd, which hinted at some type of past bad blood between the two despite that we have never seen her before.

I don't think it could be Bell and Skuld's mom, more as a gut feeling than anything.
It's far more likely the goddess shown represents the mindset of heaven's officialdom (listen to the other young gods and goddesses talk about her). They aren't comfortable with the idea of a half demon having the power and access of a first class license, and probably aren't too happy that she even exists among them.
That would be my take on that exchange.
Urd was too proud to bang her head against what she saw to be a wall, but didn't want to hurt Belldandy, so she came up with an excuse why she couldn't take the test.

Dose anybody think that Urd will ever get togather with anybody?

When Urd can finally fully accept who she is and face her heritage unafraid, then she'll be able to accept another individual on their own terms and just be glad for the happiness she does find with them.
(Urd still wants to possess her companions, and that drives them away.)

Wow, a whole thread to discuss my favorite character, there really is a goddess!!
Anywho, now that i'm here i hope you won't mind if i ask your opinion about something, the possibility of a Keiichi/Urd relationship, it's a relationship that i can sort of desern from the manga, and one i'd like to see, I just think Urd needs someone right like Keiichi.

Well, I've kinda gone into a lot about Urd's atitude toward Bell and Keiichi's relationship back at the old Dark Horse Forum. But it's spread out over the whole thread. If you're interested in my thoughts on her childhood, go to the G2G main page, click on the Articles link, and read my article about Urd there.

(Urd still wants to possess her companions, and that drives them away.) How is Urd's desire in this department different from Belldandy's desire to not give Keiichi up to his job at Whirlwind? That one god who tried to hit on her way back when wasn't driven away by her possessiveness, he was driven away by Troubadour's homicidal jealousy. Just my $.02.

Now that we have chapter 192 in hand, it's more clear what the motivations of the first class license examiner goddess and Urd herself were when she showed up to take her test.
I knew I liked that mysterious goddess who hides her emblems. I think she's the only being in Heaven who truly understands Urd. Or, at least she comes closer to understanding what drives Urd than anyone else in Heaven, even Belldandy. Remember she said she had an intuition about Urd, and intuition would be very helpful in administering relevant (hard) first class tests. It was her intuition which let her peer into Urd's psyche. That also explains why she calls Urd "the white and black". She identifies people more by their inner beings than their outward appearance.

The difference would be that while Bell didn't want to lose him, she knew he had to do it and was trying hard to be supportive and not making him chose between her and his future, like Urd did with Troubador. (implied from story) It was their mutual desire not to part that probably powered the spell that held their hands together long after it should have worn off on it's own.
True, Urd had nothing to do with driving off her other suitor (that we know of). But then she never implied she was interested in him, it's presented more as a story about Troubador's personality (An aspect which she seems to have approved of at the time.)

Physicly how old dose Urd look?

From my own observations, I'd say goddesses stop physicaly aging in their early twenties, or at least slow WAY down, so Urd probably won't be looking any older for awhile.
Chronologically, she's currently about 27-28 in the manga.

Just for fun, even though we're discussing Urd here, I was wondering if anyone else has realised that Belldandy is the only goddess with her powers physically sealed? To the best of my observation no other goddess has had a seal on their ear besides her.
Of course Skuld wouldn't need one and Rind is a combat goddess who would need to have all her power available, but Urd and Peorth don't seem to have one. Now Peorth is just visiting, but Urd's been sort of a permanent fixture, and despite Bell's earlier statements as to how powerful she is, Urd is unsealed as far as I know. She's never even mentioned a seal on her.
Having seen what Urd can do with first class powers, and she's not sealed, what can Belldandy do if unsealed?
Interesting, yes?
