She's Chaotic Evil because Ishtar is Lawful Good, as simple as that.

IIRC, in Sumerian myth, underworld is synonymous with lair of evil; similar to Hades in Greek myth that painted as evil being introvert who rules over death despite often another person mess.

When it comes to god / goddess in this franchise, better not taking their alignments at face value as their alignment contain bias, like Ishtar who selfish but fall to "Good" alignment because she's goddess of fertility, that synonymous with blessing, or Alterjuna who both good and evil because he judged sinners (good) for 'perfect world' with awareness how selfish it is (evil).
