## Background Information

* Born in London, her mother was a waitress and her father was a truck driver.
* Watching TV and listening to music, Athena dreamed of being a star from a young age and living a life of glamour.
* Athena would save up her limited pocket money to purchase pretty clothes that made her look richer & cooler than she was, records of her favourite artists, and eventually her own instruments and equipment.
* Athena had interests in fashion, music, acting and more. She became the star of the show in school, taking the lead in shows and learning guitar and piano to play songs. Athena also enjoyed poetry and literature, and would spend many evenings reading and analysing works.
* As a lover of music and the arts, Athena used the money her parents saved over many years to study music performance at the University of West London.
* During her time at University Athena discovered her love of parties, drinks and psychedelic drugs, which opened her eyes to the world and made her start to question her own life.
* Athena waitressed with her mother in half terms, saving up money for her future.
* Following the achievement of 2nd class honours, Athena wanted to explore the world and create memories. She continued to read about fashion, go to shows, experience and create music, and party now and then. After saving up enough money from waitressing full time, she moved to Los Santos to discover the American Dream and experience life free from the constraints of London.

### Athena in Los Santos

After landing, the first friend Athena made was in Billy Banter, a taxi driver, who showed her around the city and got her introduced to the right places and people. Later she joined up with Hoot Landry and Jason Winters to search for Billy after hearing he'd waved a gun around in the post office.

She showed her music to multiple individuals at the time, and Hoot encouraged Athena to pursue her dreams to make it big in the music scene. This lead her to meeting Roy Santana and Adora Bancroft and playing her music to a bigger crowd, making a ton of friends along the way.

While relaxing at the pier, Athena and Hoot met Panic, who Athena introduced herself to as they both skateboarded. Following this, Eleanor and Asteria showed up, and the group decided to form a gang called "Not A Gang". They elected Eleanor the president and agreed they would have regular meetings and send a newsletter. Their first "war" was against the Banditos, which they declared won when they wiped out their message at the pier.

At the pier, they met Johnny and Ziggy. Ziggy immediately caught Athena's eye. Her and Hoot had a list of checkboxes for her ideal man, and he checked off every single one. Athena flirted a little, then brought him with them to go drink and celebrate the formation of Not A Gang. Eventually, Hoot and Eleanor left to give her and Ziggy space, and she met Walker, going on a construction job with them. Towards the end of the night, Ziggy introduced Athena to Mr Pope, the head of the organisation he worked in. Athena was determined to prove her worth, and was given 30 bags of crystal and the mission of getting them sold by the end of the night. Athena sold them within 30 minutes, impressing Ziggy.

Athena started working more with the boys, doing her first cookout, growing weed, and taking part in various business meetings. Most notably, Athena had never done anything illegal before, and the first night she truly worked with Alex Pope, he continously asked her if she had ever done certain tasks before, and her answer was laughably "no" every single time, but she picked up the skills needed quickly. When the group were having trouble with FDF, Athena used her contact of Peter to set up a meeting and find peace, knowing that without her there, Ziggy would resort to violence. She is well known for her personable nature, silver tongue and her diplomatic approach to situations, and has demonstrated this a number of times by strengthening relations with contacts or creating new opportunities.

There were some immediate hiccups, such as the scares with Walker and Jack, which brought tensions to the group but ultimately brought the group closer together. When Jack had supposedly given up information and taken the fall for meth sales, Athena felt it was a breakthrough moment for Johnny's trust in her, and he looped her in on some very important information. Furthermore, Walker's actions and the conversations that emerged from that allowed Athena to show herself to the group and speak her mind.

Musically, Athena began making friends with a lot of the D-Side crew, and after spending time with them and even working on a couple songs together, decided she would sign with them. Her first ever peformance was in tandem with the rest of D-Side, in which her, Gizzy, Muffy, Frank and Peter performed for the Mirror Park Tavern fundraiser. Athena had a lot of fun. She has become good friends with many of them, attempting jobs with Frank and Gizzy, being an ear for both Gizzy and Sly, and seeking peace with FDF due to her and Peter's bond over D-Side. They opened multiple doors for Athena and gave her the opportunity to grow musically, which is something she will always be grateful for.
