## History

Athena was born on the outlands of society. Her family was meek, and traveled light. Before her teens, they were robbed and killed by bandits as she hid away. Shortly after, she was found by James, and Alex. With no where she would be safe, James took her in and raised her passively as a pseudo daughter. As he had experience raising Alex and by then their situations were much better off. From her teens on, Athena was distant to everyone around her. She had trust issues and did not like to be touched. Human connection was difficult for her. This is in contrast to James, who often avoided it, and Alex, who thrived on it. She loved nature, and experiencing isolation in it. The calm sounds of birds chirping, and water flowing was what made her the happiest.

In her late teens and early 20s, she learned more about James philosophy of self improvement. She wanted to learn ways of protecting herself and is taken under his wing as his protégé. Her decision to use a bow & arrow was a personal one. Her distance and mistrust of others reflected this. It allowed her to fight with distance from her opponents. She took on the persona "Harp", due to loving the sounds and reflecting the imagery of a bow. Over the years she developed her skills. She slowly began training in forest with targets, climbed trees hiked mountains; all with the goal of becoming a warrior. As she progressed, she became more violent. She took on local bounties, often in contest with other hunters. Her methods became overtly abrasive. Overtime, she developed her own philosophy. James detested her suggestions of killing, bringing to two to a head in many arguments. One day, she discovered the tribe of bandits who killed her family. James warns her to stay away, but she eventually crosses the line. After this occurrence, and one of the few moments she is vulnerable, she breaks down in tears. She regrets what she did and vows never to again.
