==Overview==
Born in a town on the Dragoian border to Heraldia, Athea grew up with constant Dragoian raids and witnessed Dragoians devouring humans on a common basis by doing the rather unconventional method of hiding nearby and then sneaking into a building the Dragoian raiders had already searched to avoid being caught in the raids, a tactic which mortified her parents at first who thought the only way to survive a Dragoian raid was to leave town for a few days, but eventually got accepted when they always returned to find Athea alive and well.
Bullied extensively at school for her abnormal height, large frame, abnormally broad shoulders and inhumanly large breasts, Athea grew up socially maladjusted and would avoid social situations whenever she could. She got expelled from high school at the age of 16 when she got so sick of her bullies that she retaliated against one and broke his arm with a single half-dodged punch.
Effectively unemployable due to being expelled from high school, Athea lived with her parents and older brother and would rarely leave the house, with the exception of during Dragoian raids where she would hide in other houses, but not flee the town like the rest of her family.
Athea eventually grew a morbid fascination with the eating of humans and by the age of 17 had started to devour the corpses of humans who the Dragoians did not devour or take with them when they left. While she tried to keep this secret, she was eventually caught in 1998 by the Heraldian Police where she would spend a year in prison waiting to be executed. She never did figure out who tipped off the police, but always assumed it was one of her family.
6 Days before her execution was scheduled to happen, she was broken out of prison by a Rownecorp strike force, composed primarily of Dragoians and led by Jackie Rowne herself. This strike force had come specifically for Athea, and was ordered by Rowne to kill any prisoner other than Athea. When found, Rowne approached Athea and offered her a jail break with the condition of accept or die. Athea accepted, less out of fear but more for appreciation that someone had broken into prison with the express purpose of breaking her out. After accepting, Athea was quickly blindfolded and taken back to the strike force's truck. Many hours later and some more man-handling later, Athea's blindfold was removed and she found herself in Rowne's main office in Rowne Manor with Rowne staring at her. As soon as Athea had got her bearings, Rowne introduced herself and bluntly offered Athea a job described as well paid and "uniquely suited to your talents", but only on the condition that Athea proved herself by devouring two men. Somewhat confused, Athea accepted while wondering why anyone would offer a cannibal a job and make them prove themselves by eating two people, before she was led by Rowne to a sub-level of Rowne Manor.
Upon entering the dingy room, Athea instantly recognised the two men strapped to some shackles on the wall as her father and younger brother, before turning to a smirking Rowne who told Athea to enjoy her meal and make sure to sample both courses before casually pointing to a rack of knives and cooking utensils above a grill in the corner and leaving the room locking the door behind her. Athea hesitated for several minutes and even decided to question her father, but around half an hour later and after several answers she didn't like she re-applied the the gag on her father and coldly told both him and her brother to make their peace while she selected a large sharp knife from the wall. Athea barely looked at her father or brother as she clumsily slashed their throats, making sure both of them had stopped moving before starting to carve off cuts of meat to shove onto the grill.
4 hours after locking Athea in the room, Rowne returned to find Athea sitting in a corner happily eating large chunks of slightly burnt meat and two butchered corpses hanging from the walls. This sight pleased and somewhat baffled Rowne due to the quantity of the meat which had seemingly been consumed, who praised Athea before telling her to follow, earning a response of "after I'm finished eating" from Athea, which caused Rowne to crack a smile and inform Athea that her kills wouldn't be wasted and that her personal chef would make a real meal out of them which prompted Athea to reluctantly get up, grabbing a few charred blocks of meat to eat on the go. After passing what would become the standard initiation test for Rownecorp Agents, Athea received training and would become the first of the Rownecorp Agents.
Athea is very formal to Jackie Rowne, always referring to her as "Miss Rowne", yet is not afraid to speak her mind, which Rowne admires. Their relationship quickly moved from professional to more of a friendly, almost Mother (Rowne) - Daughter (Athea) bond from Rowne's perspective, and a bit of a one-sided love affair from Athea's perspective. This often leads to Athea receiving comments from other agents about being "The Boss' Pet", which she normally ignores unless they are slanderous towards Jackie Rowne. Such comments are passed to Jackie Rowne, who then decides on the punishment.
==Abnormal Abilities==
Athea's abnormal strength, height and build, as well as no human or Dragoian ever witnessing her go to the toilet, was a consistent source of confusion for members of Rownecorp and led to rumours that Athea was never 100% human. Later medical testing found she had a very small amount of Dragoian DNA in her, which somewhat explained her inhuman qualities but perplexed Rowne who believed herself to be the only Dragoian/Human hybrid. Unaware to Rowne, Athea would be classified as a "Half-Breed Hybrid" by anyone aware of the condition.
Athea herself knew of her embarrassingly high weight from a young age, and would avoid scales or any other form of weighing equipment due to a fear of being weighed and managed to avoid doctors due to her generally perfect health, which prevented her condition, or at least it's noticeable qualities, being discovered. She was also initially alarmed when she stopped needing to urinate or defecate and hid this from her family, but quickly learned that she could live a better life without these annoyances and vowed to continue avoiding doctors unless she saw any actual consequences of this peculiar change.
== Combat Style ==
Athea lacked any form of combat ability short of sheer brute strength until she was trained by members of Rownecorp. This training partly played to her strengths, with unarmed combat focusing on incapacitating a target in one heavy hit but also learning to control her inhuman power by showing restraint, and with ranged combat focusing on using a heavy custom-built revolver with custom ammunition that was built specifically for comfortable use by Athea.
