species: immortal | age: 20s/2000+ | face claim: crystal reed | status: taken
Born in Ancient Greece three years after her older sister Amara, Athena was born into a very poor family. She and her sister didn't have a lot while they were growing up but they always had each other and after Athena's parents died when she was just twelve years old, Amara was all she had left. The two of them were close, best friends in fact, and they looked out for each other as much as they could. Amara took whatever job she could get to support the two of them and when Athena was old enough she started helping out as much as she could as well.
After Amara became handmaiden to Qetsiyah and started a secret relationship with Silas, Athena was the only person she told and naturally she was worried for her sister. Athena kept her secret and after the immortality elixir was created Amara hid half of her portion and left a clue in their home so that only Athena would be able to find it, not wanting to be parted from her sister. The note also contained the location where the two of them should meet when it was all over but before Athena returned and found it news of Amara's death spread throughout their home leaving Athena devastated. She believed the lie that Silas had been the one to kill her sister and retrieved the elixir before moving away.
She tried to move on with her life, even getting married and starting a family of her own, but a few years after her sister's "death" she heard whispers about what Qetsiyah had been doing and the place she had created, the Other Side. Word also reached Athena that it was Qetsiyah who was responsible for killing her sister after all, not Silas like she had originally been led to believe, and, outraged, Athena knew what she had to do. After drinking the elixir she had kept safe since her sister's death, Athena worked hard to strengthen the psychic abilities the elixir gave her and used them to kill Qetsiyah. Knowing that she couldn't return home to her husband or children after what she had done or what she had become, Athena moved away having finally avenged her sister and has been travelling ever since.
Sometime later she found herself in trouble with a Bennett witch who managed to weaken Athena's powers severely. She is still immortal and is able to compel, inflict pain and create illusions but not to the same extent that Silas was able to in the show.
By taking the immortality elixir, Athena became the progenitor of the Argent line of doppelgangers who seem to have inherited her hunter instincts.
This history is only a guideline and will need to be re-written and expanded upon when applying for Athena.
