## Story

Athena is a modern day high school
girl in Japan. She teamed up with her friend, Sie Kensou, to fight in the name
of justice. In Psycho Soldiers, she was one of the "heroes of light"
who defended the world from the Shiguma forces. Her psychic powers are believed
to be transmigrated to her rather than inherited by her family. As such, she is
sometimes referred to as the resurrected Athena who is gifted with esper-like
powers.

In the King of Fighters series, she
is a student of Kensou's Kenpo teacher, Chin Gentsai. She has spent most of her
life secluded in China's mountains training. Her team participates in the
tournaments as a form of training and to save the populace from an apparent
future threat. Other times, they enter to disrupt any evil forces they may feel
at the time. In the 1996 tournament, Chin seemed perturbed by the energy he
sensed and didn't want his students to be involved with it. However, they
surprise him by redoubling their enthusiasm for the event and they enter.

Their success in the tournament is
shown in the following year where they receive a mountain of adoring fan
letters. Athena in particular had a boost in popularity and stardom. However,
Chin rejects their proposal to enter King of Fighters since he doesn't want his
students to forget the purpose of their training. Determined to change his
mind, Athena presents him with an inspirational letter from Kaoru Watabe. The contents
in the letter helps her argument that their publicity moves people to do better
things, which is essentially another way of saving people. Convinced that his
students are improving, he allows them to enter once more.

In the aftermath of KOF '97, the
Psycho Soldiers meet Kaoru, who now travels with them to most of their
engagements and was even a striker in KOF 2000.

By this time in the series, Athena
becomes a famous pop-star who is rising the charts with her concerts. She
welcomes the new recruit, Bao, warmly and hopes that he does his best.
Additionally, she grows concerned for Kensou once he lost his powers though she
remains optimistic that they might return during the tournament on a
spur-of-the-moment notice.

Her team's backstory in The MediaWiki:Badtitletext reveals that the team was there during the collapse of NESTS's base
in the finals. During that time, Athena was caught underneath the falling
rubble and passed out. Though he has no memory of it, Kensou saved her with a
formidable latent energy. Ever since then, Bao suffered from a mysterious
fatigue and illness. This same energy is later revealed to be the
"Dragon's Spirit". Though she has her doubts with her master's
methods, she wearily agrees to join the tournaments in this saga to treat Bao
and Kensou's predicament. In the team's story in The King of Fighters 2000 she,
Chin and Kaoru Watabe witness Bao's near heroic sacrifice as he takes a the
NESTS satellite's energy beam to protect them, and how this leads to Kensou
recovering his powers when he absorbs the rest of the energy.

For the first time since the
beginning of KOF, the Psycho Soldiers did not enter the tournament in KOF 2003 since Kensou and Bao went on a year long training mission with Chin to master
Kensou's unreliable "Dragon's Spirit". Not wanting to miss out on her
annual fix of tournament competition, Athena joined forces with Hinako Shijou
and Malin to form the High School Girls team, a strange but rather successful
partnership. For KOF XI, Athena reunites with Kensou after his year of
training, and Momoko, one of Athena's fans with psychic capabilities.

Though neither Athena nor the other
Psycho Soldiers have much connection with the major plot in KOF 2003 through
KOF XI, it seems she is destined to soon struggle alongside Kensou and Bao
against the evil and powerful Ron and his henchmen, who intend to steal the
Dragon's Spirit.
