“It takes two to make an accident.”
– F. S C O T T F I T Z G E R A L D
Princess of the local crime boss and budding-criminal herself, this chaos-eyed brunette could talk her way out of her own funeral and have your best friend turn on you. Master of languages both dead and useful, she's a natural diplomat but best kept at arm's length.

Education & Skills
> Occupation:
Her parents weren't born on Port Hope but came to it as merchants. So mostly the market district but they had some underhand business ventures as well.
> Classes:
- English
- History
- Languages
- Psychology
- Maths
> Skills:
- Athena, to people who generally speak one language the most of their lives, seems to have quite the talent for picking up languages. She's fluent in both useful languages (Mandarin and Spanish) and not so useful languages (German) while having a grasp of other notable languages such as Portugese and some Russian.
- She's not very good at much things that involve physical exertion but sit her in front of a crowd and she'll probably rile them up or have them nodding in agreement with her. She'd make for the perfect politician if she just covered up her illegal activities instead of just making it so blatant.
- Athena is good with people and due to the fact that she really doesn't care what she does to them, she really doesn't mind working them so they fit cosily around her little finger. This, of course, means using any method to obtain that which she desires.

Delving Deeper
> Personality:
Figuring Athena out is somewhat equivalent to trying to finding the exact centre of a hurricane, you could probably do it but you'll more than likely end up in a ditch somewhere. She's a blip that bursts into a tempest within a moment's notice and fades to a whisper within the space of a day. It's how she evaded the authorities for so long. She can be deceptively quiet or wonderfully obnoxious and most who meet her think that there's definitely a few screws loose - there is, of course. When you meet her, it won't be very obvious immediately because she can seem quiet and distance but sit her on a pedestal anywhere and she seems to explode into life. She can be kind to those who she values but if you become a non-profit to her, for even a single moment, she will wipe you off entirely. Of course, she's not very good at killing but that's why she pays people who are. Piss her off and you should expect a very harsh treatment, something far worse than death (once again relying on other people to administer said treatment). Basically, you'll never be bored around her but being close to Athena is akin to performing a ballerina recital in a minefield.
> History:
Athena could have had a shitty life, devoid of all happiness and hope but she didn't - she had a brilliant one. She was born to two wealthy merchants who made a living by travelling between Ports and Capital Worlds, selling on their products. Anything she wanted, she typically got and her education was good but countless profressionals had informed her parents, which they fervently denied, that there were a few things wrong with Athena. She didn't seem to consciously care for human life whatsoever and considered people to be puppets that could be cast aside and played with as if they were truly a toy. The Inquisitors never liked the crazy ones - they were prone to mindless violence so her parents hastened to cover it all up.
Her mother was an artist and although she was loving and caring, she was obnoxiously demanding. Perfection was the only thing that ever appeased her and the young Athena jumped to the mark but such things can only last for so long before an unhealthy hatred of authority itself is developed, especially in someone who isn't exactly right. Her father was the one she liked. He was one of those men that treated his family as if they were wonderful little angels but if one person ever crossed him or them, he would break them into small little pieces; maybe that's where she got it from? He was a merchant but he ran an underground smuggling business, bringing rare artifacts out of Inquisitor hands and into the hands of those who paid the most. Their family were fucked up but the type of fucked up that seemed to merge together and bond under extreme conditions. It worked for quite a while then she grew up and it gradually didn't work - she got sick of her mother and started arguing a lot. She turned to heavy drugs and after a number of spats with her father and too many times left feeling way too fucked up, she dropped away from them entirely. Abandoning school as well, she used the fleeting money she had to start her own gang.
It wasn't exactly easy starting out as a teenage girl competing with trained thugs smuggling drugs but eventually people listened and a little after that, they followed. By fifteen, she had her own mafia of sorts, willing to do anything as long as the money was good. Loyalty was centre-seeking and she made sure that she was always a necessity for the gang. They worked, strangely, and she became a big thing in the underworld of Port Hope but almost as soon as it had started, it collapsed. After a little red-haired bitch got locked away, the Inquisitors came knocking and the rest of them got locked up. They knew exactly who she was when they found her, namely due to the fact that she told them everything she had done. Vengeance is a fickle thing.
She functioned pretty well in jail. Her language skills came in handy when dealing with people who couldn't speak English and she seemed to hold some sort of sway over the other prisoners. Things were going alright (apart from the upcoming execution) before J told her what to do and after that, well everything became fifty shades of fucked up then.

> Theme Song:
Moments – Tove Lo
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the don'ts
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can't be the perfect one
But I'll make you come
And I'm locked in your mind
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the don'ts
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can't be the perfect one
But I'll make you come
And I'm locked in your mind
