She has no insane military might, or vast array of knowledge, or powerful magical arsenal. Her weapon is, well, diplomacy. Whether it was the animals of Midgard, Kronos, or a council of angry Vanir, Rhea just somehow knew how to get people on her side. Although her best friends were two immortal lions everyone seemed to like being around her. It's also a testament to her people skills, (and the fact she was pretty hot, even as a lion,) that she managed to make her way into the heart of Kronos, who was historic for not having one. Of course, they had some marital issues. I mean, he swallowed her children. So there was that. Yeah, it's a debate among historians whether she actually loved him to begin with, or was just marrying him for power, but regardless, after the whole cannibalism thing she wasn't too keen on him. Basically, by the time of the second Vanir-Kolossi war, '''Kronos was insane. Like batshit crazy, eat your own kids, drink entire barrels of mead per day, insane.''' Needless to say, Rhea wasn't the only one unhappy, but Kronos had too much power to take on directly. So she hatched a plan with two other Kolossi, Themis, and Mnemosyne. They would involve the Vanir. Rhea would sneak away to Vanahiem, where she would convince the Vanir to once again invade Midgard. Considering past enmity, this shouldn't be too hard. Meanwhile, Themis would go among the Midgardians, and secretly prepare a rebellion. All the while Mnemosyne would stay in Kronos's court, the spy until the end. It was a good plan, and it worked. Rhea convinced the Vanir to join the rebel Kolossi in the war, and they won. Kronos was destroyed and Rhea had her revenge. Afterward Rhea was rewarded with an honorary place at Vanir meetings. However, she preferred to sit out, spending most of her time watching from afar, chatting with Themis and her lion buddies about the affairs of the world. Of course she wasn't too happy about Shal'vor, but that's another story... The Rin at their finest.
