She was the darkness to Isis' light, the bareness to contrast her sister's fertility.
Nephthys had no children from her barren husband Seth (being the barren desert god)
She disguised herself as Isis, got Osiris drunk, and seduced him to her bed
This relation resulted in the birth of an illegitimate son Anubis
When Seth discovered this adultery act and began to plan Osiris' death.
in the Legend of Osiris, despite being the wife of Seth, she was seen as a loyal sister to Isis, helping Isis to gather Osiris' scattered limbs (after Seth cut him into pieces), to revive the dead god.
