Zando, consort to Thwar, appears as an athletic woman with long blond or golden brown hair. She is accompanied by two snow leopards in Jaggudornish belief and by two lionesses in Pallathantic belief. Zando wears heavily embroidered linen and red slippers and a shawl of white fur. The goddess wields a spear and a bow and arrow. She is goddess of cats, hunting, and leisure. Her devotees include female warriors, female rulers of the Jaggudorns, women who wish to influence the god Thwar, and lovers of cats and pleasures. She is the daughter of Amrulon and Eriu and thus sister to Arathrax and Rhio.

Zando is not oblivious to her husbands many dalliances with mortal women and gods. She accepts her husbands infidelity but expects and receives all the privileges of the rightful wife. She is called upon as Goddess of Thrace by mortals and anciently regarded as the goddess of the city which contrasts to her role as a huntress. In general mythology, she is regarded as the daughter of Amrulon and Eriu and thus is a solar divinity.
