Athena

Athena finally comes to discover that Zeus is her father, and the mother is a fly. Zeus is the king of Gods and the ruler of heavens. She also has a step sister named Pallas. Before coming to the academy, Pallas was the best friend to Athena back on earth. She had grey eyes, a wavy brown hair and usually she liked wearing a Chilton colored blue. Athena is the youngest but she is the smartest among the goddess girls. After some times, she finally becomes friends with Aphrodite, Artemis, and Persephone who are the most all the rage girls in the academy. They turn to be the best friends and help each other although they seem different. Athena likes the owls most compared to other animals.

In the book of Aphrodite the diva, she develops a crush on Ares whom with she has an on and off relationship. Annoyingly her sister called Venus who resides in Rome takes all her boyfriends. The constant attention annoys her and she decides to try and transfer the attention to Athena through a makeover plan. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t work as expected because nobody pays attention when Aphrodite and her friends show off Athena. The only person who seemed to like her from the beginning was Hephaestus. Athena and Aphrodite later came to discover it was only because Ares wanted to have a city to be named after him. Just because Zeus the father of Athena was the principal; she could ask her father to name a city after Ares.

She too had fell in love with Actaeon but her first crush was with a guy called Orion. She realized that the relationship with Orion would not work because he was selfish and only cared for himself.
