Main Article: [[Arfoire/1st Hyperdimension]]
 
The Arfoire of this dimension was once the sole goddess of Gamindustri. However, no longer wanting to carry the burden of ruling an entire world on her own she created four new CPUs (Neptune, Noire, Vert, and Blanc) using the power of Histoire's tome so that they may rule in her place. She then passed down all of her knowledge and aspects of her personality to them.
 
   
 
Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Arfoires throughout the series though most of them retain more or less the same personalities and core aspects regardless of the setting.
This Arfoire is capable of shape-shifting and even stealing the powers of the other goddesses. Her signature outfit is her witch-like costume.
 
====2nd Hyperdimension Arfoire====
 
Main Article: [[Arfoire/2nd Hyperdimension]]
 
The Arfoire of this dimension exists solely to destroy Gamindustri and she has no desires past that. She seems to have no physical form of her own and thus relies on vessels to contain her spirit.
 
====Ultradimension====
 
Main Article: [[Arfoire/Ultradimension]]
 
This Arfoire is a member of the [[Seven Sages]] and simply wants to kill CPUs, similar to her 2nd Hyperdimension counterpart. Even though she had never met Neptune, she hated her instantly just from hearing her name. This is possibly because the Neptune of the other world hated Neptune just as much.
 
   
The Ultradimension Arfoire maintains the physical appearance of the 1st Hyperdimension Arfoire and seems to also have the ability to shape-shift like her though to a lesser extent, as seen when she takes on the form of DoS Arfoire from the 2nd Hyperdimension.
