Athina

**Athina** (***Ancient Greek**: Αθήνα*) was a recurring character of *The Tangled Diaries.* She is the fraternal twin sister of Amara. Her and Amara were handmaidens for Qetsiyah before Athina became the village psychic.

She was the progenitor of a line of doppelgängers that have come to be known as the Petrova doppelgängers, from which spawned three known female doppelgängers: the first, Diana, the second, Vivienne Pierce, and the third and final doppelgänger, Louise Gilbert. She was a seer, a trait which was passed down to and through her doppelgangers.

**Athina** was one of the oldest known ancestor of the **Petrova Family** and the **progenitor of the Petrova Doppelgängers**; the other being her sister, Amara.

## Early History

Athina was born some time during 1st century B.C.E. (100 B.C.). Over 2,000 years ago in Ancient Greece along with her twin sister Amara. Athina was a seer, she developed her gift of sight at a young age. Athina and Amara were handmaidens to Qetsiyah. The sisters were not wealthy therefore, Athina decided to use her gift of sight and became the village fortune teller. She would tell fortunes for silver pieces.

Athina was the first of the sisters to fall in love with the gifted and powerful witch named Silas. Although Silas was engaged to her best friend Qetsiyah.

## Name

* **Athina** is an alternate spelling for Athena which is a female Greek name whose origins are found in Ancient Greece. The meaning of the name Athina is "*wise*".
* According to this theory the name comes from the words “*ather*” which means sharp, and the word “*aine*” which means praise.
* The name Athina is mostly known due to the Goddess Athena (or Athina), the ancient Greek Goddess of wisdom and warfare.

## Trivia

* Athina and Amara's origins are from Ancient Greece. It is unknown or uncertain if Athina and Amara were of Greek descent, although it is a possibility, considering that Bulgaria, Vivienne and Katherine's home country, had not been formed yet.
* Like Silas and Amara, Athina was the progenitor of a line of doppelgänger's, known currently as the (second line of) Petrova Doppelgängers. This is a consequence of Athina becoming truly immortal like Silas and Amara, who have their own lines of doppelgängers.

* Athina was one of the first two women to ever become immortal.
	+ The other was her twin sister, Amara.

* Athina's mortal age is unknown. All that is known about her age is that she is over 2,000 years old, and that the events involving herself, Amara, Qetsiyah, and Silas occurred in the 100s BCE. It is most likely that she and Amara were younger than both Silas and Qetsiyah in mortal age.

* Diana, Viviana, and Louise are Athina's doppelgängers. Diana has been confirmed as Athina's first doppelgänger.

* Athina and Amara are very distant ancestors to all of the Petrova women (i.e. Tatia, Diana, Katherine, Vivienne, Nadia, Isobel, Elena, Louise, Miranda, etc.). However, it is unknown if the Petrova women are direct descendants of Amara or Athina (i.e. descended from a child one of them may have had prior to the events that led to their immortality), or if their bloodline was continued through one of Athina and Amara's siblings, such as in the case with Silas' doppelgängers. There is also a possibility that the Petrova women were not actually descended from Amara and Athina, and that their doppelgänger lines came from another bloodline. However, since Stefan and his other fellow male doppelgängers were confirmed by Silas to be distantly descended from his family (he referred to Stefan as his multiple-great-grand-nephew), this theory seems unlikely.

* It was thought for a time that Tatia and Diana were the originators of Petrova doppelgängers, but this was proven false when the true story of the immortals and their doppelgängers was revealed in *Original Sin*.

* Unlike Silas and Amara's name which both have five letters in them; Athina's name has six letters in it.
* Like Amara, her name also starts with an A and ends with an A

* Athina's the third character out of four to be portrayed by Victoria Justice after Louise and Vivienne. The fourth character to be portrayed by Victoria was Diana on *The Originals* series.

* Since two of her doppelgängers, Louise and Vivienne, were both born in the month of June (with Louise being born June 22 and Vivienne being born June 5), it could be assumed that Athina was also possibly born in June. However, since Athina lived in the time of Ancient Greece, the calendar system used was completely different, making it impossible to know for sure in which month Athina was born.

* With confirmation that human souls are found in the dimensions, she either found peace or went to Hell.
