Pharasma is the True Neutral/Unaligned Goddess of Birth, Death, Prophecy and Fate from the Golarion setting of Pathfinder. This makes her both one of the most invested deities when it comes to the mortal races and yet also one of the least interested; the Lady of Graves is responsible for creating all newborn souls, as well as seeing them come to their appointed ends and then judging them and determining whence they will go in the afterlife. Sort of like The Raven Queen with perhaps a dash of Chauntea.
In her own pantheon, she generally doesn't give two shits about any of the other deities; Iomedae, the Goddess of Valor, Justice, Honor and Rulership, does hold a grudge for not warning of the impending death of Aroden, but they are not really enemies. The sole exceptions are Urgathoa (the Goddess of Excess, Disease and Undeath) and Zyphus (Demigod of Accidental Death), both of whom escaped Pharasma's realm of the Boneyard, attained divinity in doing so, and seek to pervert the carefully measured tapesty of life and death that Pharasma weaves and upholds.
