Nut: Goddess of the Sky
Nut is in the creation story, as she is the sky goddess and the mother of famous god's and goddess's as Isis and Osiris. Nut is the arch that is the sky and touches both horizons. I think that it would be interesting to give her a bigger role in the creation story, and to give her a voice to describe what her duties are.

Isis: Goddess of Earth
In the story of Isis and Osiris, Isis and Osiris were the first of the god's born from Nut, goddess of creation and motherhood. Isis and Osiris immediately fell in love, but Typhon the God of monsters was jealous of their beauty and love. Typhon came to Earth and began to acquire followers and cause war in the lands of Isis and Osiris. Isis created a plan and tricked the God of all to tell her his name, and used the name to save her people. This condensed version of this story is in the Untextbook.
Hathor: Goddess of Joy
When rebellious words were spoken against Nu, the eldest god, he gathered the gods and goddesses to gather their opinions. It was suggested that the gods must take up arms against the humans, and Hathor was the goddess in charge of the slaughter. When Ra saw the destruction Hathor was capable of, he ordered an end to the slaughter. In the end, Hathor was returned to a peaceful state. This story is from the Untextbook.
