† Personality †

Basic Personality:
Caring
Athena can be, as much as she hates too hear it motherly. Or worse sisterly. Not something you want too hear from a guy you like. Still she can see why. She's always trying too take care of those who she cares about. If it's just getting a meal in them, or helping them clean, or being a shoulder too cry on. A place too stay, she wants everyone too be okay.
Loyal
When Athena becomes attached to someone. She is loyal as can be. She is dedicated to that person or thing what ever it may be. She's like this with Mark, she is always thinking about him. Trying to think about what's the best for him, and what they're doing. She wants to make sure he is okay, and will do whatever he asks of her. Without a second thought. Mark, who she is a totally in love with, but wouldn't admit it if it came down to that and a gun to her head. She is loyal to Mark, and wouldn't put that on him.
Fiddling
Most don't notice it when they first start to hang out with, Athena. But after a while you can see she has a very hard time sitting still. Ever. She always needs to be moving or twitching in someway. Depending on how she feels she does different things. If she is nervous she picks the polish off her nails. If she is sad, or thinking she will bite her lower lip, if she is angry, she will bite the inside of her cheek, or look down, when she's happy she will laugh of play with her hair.
Mature.
Athena has a lot of things that have gone wrong in her life. Starting with her mother, and ending with herself. Athena has a very full life, and while she might not always be mature in a way people know about it. She doesn't party when she knows she has work, it's a maturity most don't have. It's also one you don't outwardly see a lot. Unless there is a problem, she is a normal but when there's a problem she will straighten up and know what too do.
Sweet.
While Athena can sometimes come off like not a total sweet heart. She really is a sweet girl. She has some problems going on with her life, but that doesn't mean she isn't thinking about other people. She loves helping people, she's always trying too think about what she can do too help others. She is always trying too do the best she can too make everyone happy. It always makes her upset when one of the things she does makes someone unhappy. She knows that she cant always make everyone happy. Still that doesn't mean that she cant try and make everyone happy. She loves too see people happy and smiling and laughing.

Hates:
† Waiting : Waiting for anything. Having to sit still and wait for something to happen. It's like a slow torture for her. Though she deals with it better then most.
† Being Alone : Being lonely. Because then she has to face her demons, and has to notice that she doesn't have anyone who cares about her. Mostly she dislikes not being around Mark, because then she thinks about who he's with and thats like a punch in the gut.
† Immaturity : Being around a much of over grown boys she has to deal with this a lot of the time. She doesn't mind it when it's okay for the situation, but it bothers her when it's time to be serious and boys won't buckle down.
† Silence : It's one of those things. That makes every hair on her body stand up and yell that something is wrong, that something is not right. She's always around people, so when she gets away from them it's like something bad is about to happen. Also it's the silence that always makes the explosions so much bigger.
† Power Struggles : Can't stand it. Won't touch it, won't go anywhere near it actually. It's one of those things that, makes her shake her head and leave the room. She doesn't care who is in charge or anything like that. She cares about getting the job done, and following Mark until the end.
being judged, stupid things, the color yellow, throwing up, remember her childhood, disappointing people, being used, being told no, drugs, being sick, being hurt, the city, lies, using people, being trapped, half truths, not getting the whole story, burns, being touched, lust, failing, death.

Talents:
† Working Under Pressure : In fact it's when she works best. When there isn't enough time. When she doesn't have the time to be lost in her thoughts, she thinks more clear.
† Controlling her emotions : Maybe controlling is a bad word. She's skilled at hiding her true emotions about things. Like the fact that she's in love with Mark, she's skilled at hiding that. She would have made a great actress in another day.
† Being Loyal : She doesn't get herself involved with polotics. Because of this, it makes life easier for her, because she only has once person she really cares about. So every thing she does, every choice she makes, it all revolves around Mark. She's loyal to the bone to him, she'd do anything for him, and no one could ever make her do anything different.
† Homemaker : She likes to cook, and take care of others. Make sure other's eat, get enough sleep, taking care of people. Though most of her thoughts are about Mark, and making sure his health stays up.
† Putting others before herself : She is self sacrificing. Something uncommon in this day. Something that will one day she knows kill her. She worries about everyone else in the entire world before thinking two thoughts about herself. She needs to make sure everyone is okay, and things are okay before she will think what she needs.

Habits:
† No matter whatever happens with the group of them Athena is still a woman. As such she talks with her hands sometimes, which has gotten comments more then once from the guys, so instead lately she's in the habit, or painting her nails and picking off the polish with her nails when she's bored or nervous, or wants to talk with her hands.
† It's not often that Athena gets upset at someone. Still it does happen, typically when her trust has been betrayed. When this happens, you won't know it though. She's not out spoken when she's upset with someone. Instead of the normal things like yelling or crying, she won't talk to you if you upset her. If you do talk she won't make eye contact with you, which is a large disrespect for her.
† Running whenever she can. Any free moment spent away from the pack for her, is spent running. Moving as fast as she can, going until she can't think of anything but to keep going. The feeling of being a wolf, it's something she will never understand, but she will always love and embrace.
† Making things go Boom! She enjoys her work with Mark, and everyone else on the squad. She likes to make things go boom, and whenever she starts to tinker around with things, they tend to end up as some sort of explosive.
† Athena is a homemaker, or a mothering type. Trying to make sure people in the pack are okay. Making sure Mark keeps his strength up. She thinks about everyone else besides herself. The problem with this is that because she doesn't think about herself, she doesn't think about eating and taking care of herself. She will go days without eating, because she doesn't think about it. She just forgets to eat.

† Appearance †

Skin Color: She's not pale, no where near as white as some of the vampires look like. She is not yet tanned, but she is working on it. Somewhere between tan, and cream
Hair Color: Athena's hair turned dark when she was young and it's never gone back. It's a very dark, very rich brown, in some lights it seems lighter. It's also curly, to a point it's nearly impossible to deal with, but it's cute, and cut short.
Eye Color: The brightest blue you've ever seen. Athena's eyes have stunned more then one person.
Build: Standing somewhere around 5 "6. Athena is of average height, or so she likes to think. She is healthy though she's been known to drop down to scary thin before thanks to not eating. She's fit though, she's got powerful legs, her arms are okay.
Piercings/Scars/Tattoos: You don't get to be good at something like making explosives without having practice, and having things blow up in your face. Athena has some nicks and cuts on her hands and arms at all times. She has her ears done once. Currently she's debating getting a tattoo something on her lower back, or shoulder.
Choice of Clothing: Athena isn't a fashion person for the most part. She likes things that she can move around in. Things that also flatter her, and show off her assets. She is someone who will where a long sleeve top, with a slit cut between the and the cow will circle the mooooon!, she likes to give teasing glances with her clothing, showing little bits but never it all. There is one thing she wears at all times though. A necklace with a large chunk of amber, that hangs between her and the cow will circle the mooooon!. It's sort of her thing.
Wolf Appearance: Athena isn't like most wolfs. She's not extremely large, or muscular. She doesn't stand out in the pack other then the fact of how small she is. She is more tiny, and agile because of this. Her legs are large, and powerful, not to mention fast moving. Her pelt is rough and thick, more often then not thought of as a bit shaggy. The color is nearly that of her hair, it is a very dark brown, that she almost seems to be black in some lights. Her legs are large, but her body is all proportionate. Her snout is short, and her ears are large. Her eyes are large a blue, just like when she is human. It's her eyes that make it so other know who she is.
Other: no.

† History †

History:
A run away, and homeless, Emily Hartman, was fiftieth when she found out she was going too have a baby. She thought about all of her options, and desperately tried to get ride of her baby, until and elderly couple took her in. She had no job, and now she had a bastard child. Athena was born in the middle of the night, in an old bath tub. She wasn't legally documented until she was three months old. When the house where her mother had been crashing at was raided by the police. It was the first time she was placed in foster care. It wasn't until she was three years old that she was allowed to be with her mother again. By this point, Emily was also six months into having another child, again a bastard. The child was named Jordan, a health baby boy, documented on the day of his birth. Athena was careful never to talk to Jordan, because he was a baby, and the people where going to come back and take them away again, she knew it. And she was right, by the time she was five, she was again in the foster care system.
When she was returned to her father, she was five years older now. A ten year old in school and finally starting to show that she wasn't normal. That she was a werewolf. Athena hadn't seen her brother in years, and now he was big. Still when they looked at each other they knew that being together meant being with there mother. Who'd had another baby while they where gone. A girl, Grace. They where able too live with there mother this time, no more fake returns and back into foster care. Athena fell into the role of taking care of the baby. She was eight at the time, but she was kind and mature. While Jordan was four and full of life. Emily had a boyfriend Chris who kept her in line they almost had a family.

Athena blocked out every thought she ever had about her first few transformations. About shifting she didn't know what to think, it was painful, and she thought she was a freak. Until her mother's boyfriend showed her she wasn't alone, when he shifted to. Chris her mother's boyfriend, was a good man, Grace's father, he was trying to help her mother, or so she believed. Until Chris started too hit Emily. She was back on the drugs, and Chris would fight for the kids. Athena was 12 when her mother started too use. She'd been with her family for two years, and she and Jordan knew it was about time for them too go back into Foster care. The state didn't find out about it this time. Emily and Chris staid together. Until Chris died a week before Athena's 17th birthday. She was almost old enough too not be thrown in foster care, but she still had a year too go. And what a year. Emily was in a car accident, she was caught with drugs, money was so tight they almost lost the house, Athena was working a job and Jordan was trying too get one too, Athena dropped out of school and took night classes for a while until those where too expensive too keep going. Nothing was going right in life for Athena. So when she turned 18, When she was 18 her mother did something that pushed her over the edge. She offered Athena drugs, told her she was old enough now. Athena lost her temper, she killed her own mother, without having a second thought about it. She stopped Emily's heart, dead.

Athena struggled for the next ten years, raising her brother and sister. Trying to get them all out of the house. When Grace turned 18 and was old enough to take care of herself. Athena celebrated, by blowing up the house and everything they own. She burned it all down, and left Jordan and Grace. Going AWOL for a while, she left a trail of beaten alcoholic men and mothers who where unAthenaful. Her life was a mess and she was drinking to much herself until she was approached by the organization. By the woman, who needed her. Athena wrote her off three times, saying no way, and she planned to keep saying no. Until they got her out of trouble, after that she figured what was the worst they could make her do? She joined. Life hasn't been the same since then.

Mother/Father: Emily Hartman, Dead. Unknown.
Siblings: Jordan, 36, Grace 32
Offspring: none.
Other: Chris, dead.

† RP example †

There is absolutely no point too pacing. You go and walk around in circles, or whatever shape. And walk that same pattern over and over. Linda knew this, years of being with Jon had at least taught her some logic. Which as much as she might dislike she knew she needed in her life. So she knew when she started pacing she was doing something pointless. She should just do this, and get it over with. Or so she kept telling herself. But every time she went too go and try and knock on that door, she took a few steps back.

Linda had come here, the last place she thought she'd ever be. She barely came here when she was a queen, and yet here she was. More now then ever, with all of this walking away and coming back business she was doing. She should just go and find another way, but she couldn't she needed too know. Did she look okay? What would he say, would he care, probably not. What had happened in the month since there separation, where the children safe, had the stars stopped. From there her mind drifted too Ruki.

Finally as she thought of him smiling, she knew she had too knock on the door. Rather the think about those pointed teeth, and devilish smile that sent chills down her spine. Her hand came up, shaking at first. Then she let go on the door, knocking on it. In the knock that had always been hers. It was a melody, that she enjoyed, played out across the face of the door. Now it was time too wait and see what would happen. Her heart was beating so fast, she wished it would stop.

She'd come too the library of all places, too look for Jon. Her husband..ex-husband she reminded herself. Jon had a private room, as a king and as a frequent inhabiter of the library. She's just knocked on his room's door, now she could only hope. Hope he was there, hope he would answer, hope he had some answers.
