Bellandy (ベルダンディー -, Berudandī?) is a fictional character in the popular manga Oh My Goddess! (OMG) and in the anime of the same name. She was created by Kosuke Fujishima as one of three Goddesses (loosely based on Norse mythology) who come to Earth to reside with Keiichi Morisato (and serves as his love interest). She is depicted as a beautiful and powerful young woman, with strong nurturing tendencies, a trusting and innocent character, and an extremely kind heart. She is summoned from heaven by Keiichi, seemingly by accident, in order to grant him a wish, and stays when Keiichi wishes for "a goddess like you to be by my side forever". Belldandy is an example of the magical girlfriend character. However, the character's very conservative nature, almost completely subordinate to her fictional boyfriend, Keiichi, has led to some concerns from critics, and has tended to polarize many viewers.
