## Biography

Athena is the younger child of the Addington-Cross family. Her older brother, Mercury, is very over protective when it comes to her well-being. He even broke up with his boyfriend when her family thought she might not have magic abilities. However, her magic finally showed itself just after her tenth birthday when she accidentally cut her bangs too short and they grew right back.

Everyone in her family has always been sorted into Gryffindor, but Athena's story is different. The second the hat was placed on her head, it declared her Ravenclaw. She keeps up with her brother, being sure to owl him at least once a week.

She likes Muggle things like blue-printing and hopes to become an architect when she grows up. Relationship-wise, she feels as though she's too young to worry about such pursuits, plus...she's kind of betrothed to another Pureblood (Alaric Prescott). Out of pure protest of this, she began dating Samuel Row, a Pureblood from a family who has always been on the side of "those of lesser blood" as her father would put it when he was in a good mood. This fact hasn't been sitting right with her parents. Athena, however, feels awkward whenever he holds her hand or tries to give her a kiss. It's not the butterfly feeling they describe in movies; it's kind of anxiety-inducing, as though this relationship isn't what her mind wanted…

Athena got into a lot of trouble when she told her parents she was taking Muggle Studies. Her father grounded her for the entire summer after her second year, telling her he was very disappointed that she was lowering her education in such a way. Her brother was concerned when he didn't hear form her, but eventually, he found out what had happened and he was beyond pissed. He has been fighting his parents for custody for a while, but his father refuses to give her up, to allow her to be "tainted by Mercury's sinful ways."

Athena did exceptionally well on her O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s, but her father didn't care. He told her it was a waste because she was just going to be a housewife. Her father tried to force her to marry a much older Pureblood man, but she and her girlfriend conspired to get Athena pregnant. It worked and once her parents learned of her "shame" she moved in with Merryweather and had their daughter, Prosperina. She works happily as an architect, letting Merryweather carry her blueprints for her.

## Trivia

* She can’t carry her stacks of blueprints because she’s quite weak.
* Her parents misspelled her middle name when naming her because it was early in the morning. They never bothered to fix it.
* She was betrothed to Alaric Prescott, and is now betrothed to Keith Damour. She would do anything to get out of it.
* She is allergic to shellfish.
