Ok, but listen (and welcome back to another crazy analysis that I came up with out of nowhere because I had a lot of free time)
The Ishtar as representations of the Egyptian gods.
Bastet's mission was to protect the home and symbolizes the joy of living, as she is considered the deity of harmony and happiness. She is the personification of the warm rays of the Sun, she is the representation of femininity and elegance.
Marik was supposed to be the leader of the clan and protect it, but he wanted to be happy and be out of the tombs, he wanted to live, he wanted to be under the sun's rays, plus his hair is blonde, a color associated with the sun, He is handsome, he is masculine and elegant.
Plus his eyes look like cats' eyes if you ask me, with his outlined like the stripes of tabby cats.
But he was traumatized and filled with anger and wanted revenge, so he created Yami Marik.
She was a symbol of strength and power. She was considered the goddess of war and revenge, but also the goddess of healing, she was the protector of the pharaohs and guided them in war.
In some cases she was considered an ally and protector of Ra, since she killed those who dared to confront or attack the divine or earthly monarchy.
She had an insatiable bloodlust, to such a degree that she did not distinguish between allies or enemies.
Like YamiMa, he is powerful, the representation of Marik's fight and revenge, he protected Marik from everything that could harm him to keep him safe, he caused death/coma to those who stood in the way of Marik's wishes (Jounouichi , Mai, Rishid, his father).
Plus we've all seen the thousands of references to YamiMa's hair to a lion's mane and both YamiMa and Sekhmet have many names.
And YamiMa only calmed down when he saw Rishid.
She represented music, dance, joy, love, sexuality and maternal care, and acted as consort to various male deities and mother to their children. These two aspects of the goddess exemplified the Egyptian conception of femininity. She served as a wet nurse for the king and his court, and in this way she fed all the people of Egypt since the prosperity of the country was closely linked to the health, well-being and stability of the king.
She was part of the divine entourage that accompanied Ra as he sailed through the sky in his boat.
Rishid was a fundamental part of Marik's upbringing, he was like a father to him, replacing the biological father as a wet nurse, he wanted Marik's happiness, he loved him like a brother and took care of him like a father, he took the punishment when Marik and Ishizu came out of the tombs, and he wanted to take Marik's place in the ritual to avoid the pain and trauma it would cause him.
He was also part of the Ghouls to continue with Marik, after leaving the tombs, we can assume that he was the one who was in charge of maintaining his mental and physical health.
But his role as a father was also slightly overshadowed by Ishizu.
She is typically depicted as the generous and selfless mother, wife, and protector who puts the interests and well-being of others before her own. She was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was identified with the god Horus. She as well as the most powerful sorceress Egypt ever saw. With this power she managed to save her son Horus, but she also became the patron goddess of people who practiced magic.
Ishizu is the selfless mother who fulfills the role assigned to her, fulfilling her duty to the pharaoh was important and almost a priority, however when it came to her brothers, mainly Marik, she did not mind leaving her duty relegated in favor of hera brother's well-being.
Just like Isis, she sought help from humanity (Yugi and company) to unite the pieces of her brother and return him to normal.
She is feminine, selfless, protective, maternal, she took care of Marik when they were children, stopping living her own childhood so that Marik could be happy, she helped him see what it was like outside the tombs because that is what he wanted to do.
Furthermore it is quite clear that she is Isis when we remember that her past life in ancient Egypt was called that.

I woke up from a Yu-Gi-Oh dream where there was an unreleased GBA game that was rated M because when you lost a Duel you got to see the results of Penalty Games and the like applied to your character, and every character had at least one. (Some weren't quite as bad as others but some...were.) I don't really remember details except that characters included were Pegasus, Odion, Ishizu, Yugi, Yami Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Seto Kaiba, Marik, Ryou Bakura, Yami Bakura, and for some reason Weevil.
After that I dreamed Ryou somehow found the Triforce from Zelda and wished on it that he never had the Ring, but that sent him to a world where Yugi had both the Ring and the Puzzle.
