Athena

Athena is the Olympian Goddess of Wisdom, Battle, and Handicrafts.

Biography
Born from the union of Zeus and his first wife, Metis, Athena spent millennia forming inside her father after he turned her mother Metis into a fly and swallowed her, fearing that any son born from her would surpass his father. After many millennia, Athena began to manifest a consciousness, and began trying to emerge. Zeus, as a result, felt a splitting pain within his skull, and commanded Hephaestus, who was present with him at the time, to smash open his skull, which the Blacksmith God did. Immediately after, Athena burst forth from Zeus’s skull, fully grown and clad in armor for battle. Hephaestus was soon smitten with her, as she repeatedly demonstrated her wisdom and intellect over the next few months, proving herself one of her father’s foremost advisers. Eventually, Hephaestus worked up the courage to declare his love for her and ask for her hand in marriage, and Athena brutally rejected him. During the Gigantomachy and the battle against Typhon, Athena would be one of the main strategists for both conflicts. Throughout her interactions with mortals, Athena would prove a beneficial ally for those who venerated her, with those she particularly favored often experiencing great success. Those who displeased or slighted her would however face brutal punishments, leading to her name being spoken with reverence throughout Greece.

Personality
Athena is a calculating and often cold individual. She constantly considers the outcomes of her actions, and is always making plans with countless backups. During her time in the mortal world, she often displayed great degrees of vanity, and would brutally punish any who injured her pride in any way. While she remains proud, Athena rarely allows her emotions to get the better of her, preferring to reign them in and operate solely on logic. Athena carries a great disdain for brutes and dullards, and admires those possessed of intelligence, wisdom, and wit, having mortal favorites such as Odysseus.

Powers
Athena possesses the standard abilities of an Olympian. In addition to those powers, she possesses the ability to precisely calculate the actions of her opponents in such a manner that is similar to precognition.
