Athena

Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Warefare, and Weaving.

Athena is proud of her powers, but thinks it a sacred duty to use them for the benefit of her mortal worshipers. She prefers to teach them how to improve conditions for themselves, rather than micro-managing their every step. But she won’t hesitate to intervene directly if truly necessary. As long as she is accorded due respect from mortals, she will work tirelessly to improve their living conditions.

Her current favourite among mortals is Ilainus of Mycenae, the leader of her elite archers.

Athena’s manners are dignified and precise. Though not tall, she instantly becomes the focus of attention, even in a crowd of gods. She expects frailty and stupidity in mortals, but can be annoyed with gods behaving in a less than thoughtful manner, Ares in particular. And while he might be her equal in military strategy, she always considers other aspects, besides the martial ones, and thus usually prevails in the long run. Ares has of late tired of this and begun taking a greater interest in the lands outside Greece.

She dislikes Poseidon too, barely anthropomorphic in body and mind and only intervening when he wants to bully some mortals.

The other Olympians respect her, and she is fiercely loyal to them.

She adheres to the paladin code of honour at all times. Only when faced with the Twilight does she even consider doing otherwise.
