She can command dogs, and canine creatures become vicious in an undefined radius around her. She can alter her own form at will. In her true form, she has three faces, one on the front and one on either side of her head. Hecate can grant power to mortal sorcerers.

Origins:

Hecate was one of the Titans who lived on Olympus and ruled the ancient world before Zeus conquered it. As a Titan, she predates Zeus and the twelve Olympians, and she also predates humanity like all Titans. When Zeus conquered Olympus, Hecate was one of the Titans he spared. He allowed Hecate to keep her title as Goddess of the Underworld. However when Pluto instead chose to take Persephone as his wife, Hecate retaliated by becoming the greatest sorcerer of Olympus and became the Goddess of Magic, Witches and Witchcraft.
