Personality: As her nickname "Stony" would indicate, Athena often has a stone-cold,
distant demeanor. She's usually quiet and reserved, only speaking when
spoken to or when she feels the need to speak. Small talk and
frivolousness aren't her forte. She prefers to have deep and interesting
conversations. When it comes to the company Athena keeps, she applies the
term "Quality over quantity". It's not easy to get close to her
especially being as headstrong and emancipated as she is. Athena's
ambition knows no bounds and once she has her mind set on something, not
much can deter her from it.
Athena is very responsible and often has the "common sense" role amongst
her peers, giving them advice and warning them of their actions. She
doesn't express her emotions very often, especially around people that
she doesn't know, giving her a reputation of being an ice queen.
Whenever Athena does speak, she speaks candidly and bluntly which
distances her from others, just how she prefers it.
If someone does manage to break down Athena's ice walls, they are rewarded with a loyal and caring friend and companion. She's like a second mother to her close friends, wanting to make sure they're ok and when they're not, she will do whatever she can to help them in both their professional and personal lives. Family is everything to Athena and is very important to her.

She
has a seductive, wild side to her and is very amorous and liberated,
having had many lovers and being very experienced in matters of romance
and sexuality. Despite this, Athena is very moral and benevolent when
it
comes to those matters and does not tolerate unethical behavior period.
She's devoted, tough, and able to think outside of the box. Athena is
very accomplished and professional and only sees things as black and
white; either it's right or it's wrong. She never gives up on the job
and is often described as working too hard for her own good. She thinks
quickly about how to settle or neutralize a situation and it may not be
straight by the book, hinting at a more rebellious side of Athena.

Past: When Athena was 9, a girl who lived on
her street was kidnapped and the entire neighborhood tried to look for
the missing girl but all they were able to find was a hair clip in the
woods. The girl's name was Denise Wayne and Athena was good friends with
her older brother Axel which made things even more personal for her in
this case.
Seeing
how hard losing Denise was for the Wayne family and for Axel
especially, Athena vowed to become a police officer so she could find
Denise and reunite her with her family. As they got older, Athena and
Axel got closer and eventually they started dating when they were
sophomores in high school, getting married after graduation.
Athena
decided to enlist in the U.S. Marines much to the shock of Axel and her
parents, becoming military police. During her time in the military,
Athena had two children and was able to get a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice but
instead of becoming an officer, she decided to leave the military once
her contract was up and moved to Chicago with Axel and their kids, joining the
police department once they were settled.
Wanting
to further herself, Athena decided to go back to school to get her
Master's but sadly it also came with a huge downer. Axel came out as gay
and Athena had trouble coming to terms with it but eventually decided
that it was best for them to divorce, promising to always remain friends
and be there for him if he needed anything, co-parenting peacefully when it came to their kids.
After
obtaining her Master's Degree, Athena became a Sergeant and now
currently she's focusing entirely on her career, wishing to make her
mark on the world and hopefully make a difference.
