Aqua is one of the main characters featured in Natsume Akatsuki's isekai light novel and anime series Konosuba.
Aqua is best known for memetic reputation online as the "useless goddess" because of her personality and tendency to screw things up for Kazuma's party. Nonetheless, she remains a highly popular character, and even has a website dedicated to furthering her cause (which is totally not sponsored, and i am definitely not encouraging you to check it out).
Befitting of her status as a goddess, Aqua has worked several miracles in r/anime's Best Girl contests, and is seen as Konosuba's best shot at winning a major title. She broke the "first seed curse" in Best Girl 5 by becoming the first top-seeded character to make an unprecedented appearance in the final match, but was stopped short by the dominant Rem. Aqua then made an attempt to break the repeat-finalist curse in Best Girl 6, which unfortunately failed after being eliminated by Winry Rockbell in the semi-finals; she settled for third by defeating Mikasa in another website.

To her devoted disciples, Aqua is a kind, forgiving maiden who watches over her people and bring prosperous wealth to the waters of their lands. To everyone else, Aqua is far from the perfect deity everyone perceives her to be.
Aqua craves attention. The more followers she has, the more powerful she will be. Rather than venturing out and preaching her words, she would rather sit back, relax, and let everyone else do that work for her while she relishes the showers of praises and prayers given to her on a daily basis. Yes, a true goddess needs not to raise her finger to have people on their knees for her.
Aqua hungers for fortune. Donations should be given to her regularly, ideally in large sums. She should be living in a luxurious suite with a multitude of servants who would beg to be her disciple. Therefore, it is unnecessary for her to join an adventures guild, start at level 1, and train her way back to her former strength through killing monsters and completing quest. That is not something a goddess should do.
Yet, here she is, in the mortal realm, against her will, doing things unbefitting of her stature. If she wants to return to the heavenly realm, she needs to defeat the demon king, something she tells other people to do for her. But, if she manages to obtain that glory for herself, maybe others would start treating her seriously, like an actual goddess.
With nowhere to go but up, Aqua picks up her wand and begins her journey to go back home.
