Athena

“Nerd” - By Lucas

"I was walking towards the lockers one day, when I noticed the three most popular boys in school *looking* at me, like I was some sort of snack. It was the first time in *two years* they’ve noticed me. Then, they were suddenly *smiling* at me! *What’s going on?!*” ***-Athena’s first quote in the video***

## Biography and Debut

Athena first appears in the My Story Animated video “I made 3 billionaire heartthrobs fight over me”, on July 30, 2021. She stars as the lead protagonist and main character. The video is one of the first ones in the fan-favorite Leaflent artstyle, as well as one of the most popular videos in the entire MSA channel. Since then, Athena often appears in cameos in other Leaflent-style videos. (For more information, see her *Cameos* page down below.) Athena will also make an appearance in the upcoming MSA movie, possibly starring as the main character based on her position on the official poster. (Sources vary, this may be subject to change)

## Role in the Story

As the protagonist and narrator, we see the story from her point of view as she narrates the tale, much like the other MSA storytellers.

The video starts with Athena walking towards the lockers, presumably to put away her books, only to stop in her tracks when she suddenly noticed Lucas, Tanner and Andre looking directly at her. According to Athena, it was the first time in two years that they’ve noticed her, Then, they started smiling and waving at her, which they probably never did to outsiders. Athena was understandably quite shocked, expressing confusion at the simple gesture. Flustered and nervous, she quickly strode off only to crash straight into a locker door and her books fell onto the floor. Several other students pointed and laughed at her while she looks down in dismay and slowly turned red in embarrassment. She then laments, “*Wow, what an entry…*”

Although unknown to Athena, the scene then cuts to a part when Lucas, Tanner and Andre express their thoughts about the incident and about her. Lucas was disgruntled about trying to make a “nerd” fall for him, and referred to her as such. Tanner, on the other hand, thought of the whole thing (including her) as being rather cute, but he questioned on whether or not they should make her their next target, as he thought that she looked too innocent. Andre was enthusiastic about the bet, and confident in his belief that “*I’M gonna make her fall in love with me, AND win the bet!”* He then told them to get their $10 million dollars ready, to which Lucas repiled *“We’ll see about that.”* with a smirk on his face. Unfortunately, the trio had no idea what was coming to them…

Athena then introduced herself, as is customary of all MSA narrators, and encourages the viewers to like and subscribe to the YouTube Channel.

It then goes back to the story, just as the protagonist tripped down the stairs, but someone caught her just in time. It was Andre, and Athena introduced him as the guy who was literally dating half the female population in their school. Andre then pulled her in close and attempted to use a cheesy pick up line on her, telling her “*your lips look lonely, would they want to meet mine~?”* Athena, being far from impressed, told him to get off her and shoved him. Andre, clearly thinking that she was playing hard to get, raised his hands up in surrender and told her to go easy on him, as well as giving her the nickname of “Babygirl”. To which she responded by saying “*I’d rather kiss a trash can, by the way…oh, wait, what’s the difference?”* She then smiled and walked off, leaving behind a shocked Andre.

As she was walking in the hallway, Athena nearly slipped on a randomly-placed calculator that someone had dropped on the floor. Once again, she dropped her books but before she could pick them up, someone was doing it for her. It turned out to be Tanner, who had the biggest Instagram following out of the entire trio. Athena was stunned, then annoyed, when Tanner told her to watch her step and called her “Princess”. Unlike her encounter with Andre, however, she did display some form of physical attraction to him, and describes him as looking like a prince. Likewise, Tanner was quite flirty towards her, as gave her his phone and asked her if she could take a picture of him for the latter’s Instagram. He then began posing as if he was God’s gift to women. Athena, having no idea how to react, set down his phone and awkwardly walked away to find an empty classroom. Tanner reached out to her and picked up her anklet, which must’ve fell off her during the encounter.

As Athena opened the door to an unoccupied classroom, she was startled when she found a silhouette of a sleeping figure in the corner of the the room. She shook his shoulder to wake him up, only to be surprised when she saw that it was Lucas, the handsome sleepyhead. Despite finding him handsome, Athena seems to be quite annoyed with him, demanding why he was here, adding that this was “her” place. The feeling seems to be mutual, as Lucas replied sarcastically that he didn’t see her name on the door. Athena rolled her eyes but before she could leave, Lucas then put his hand on her shoulder, saying that they could share the place, if she wanted to. Just then, the door opened and a teacher came in. Obviously, the woman got the wrong idea and kicked the two out, scolding them all the while. Lucas found the situation amusing and smirked at her, while Athena found it embarrassing and shook her head in dismay.

We then get into a deeper account of Athena’s feelings about this whole situation, and instead of being delighted or flustered like the trio would expect her to be, she instead resolved to avoid them as much as possible. She mentioned that they were called the Triple Threat for a reason, and she absolutely *hated* guys like them. *PS: Hi, it's the original editor of this page. I'm on a different device.

## Appearance

Athena is a pretty, fair-skinned teenager with the typical attributes of a "nerd". She has strawberry-blonde hair that she normally wears in a messy bun on the top of her head, olive-green eyes, pale skin, pointed ears, and a thin build. Her height varies, but is seen to be rather average. Her usual outfit consists of a black v-neck shirt (somewhat similar to Tanner's), a red pleated skirt, red shoes with rolled-up socks (though on the movie poster, she is seen wearing leather boots instead) and black rectangular glasses. She also wears a golden bracelet on her right hand, and a star anklet on her foot.

Opinions on her appearance vary, from Tanner thinking that she looked quite cute and innocent while a few others thought of her as "*ugg-lee!*". However, it is a fact that Athena is remarkably beautiful without her glasses, to the point when she was near unrecognizable when she showed up at the party with Andre. She is still quite pretty with them on, though :)

At the party, Athena's appearance changed significantly. She wears a red dress with ruffles and a black bow on the shoulder, with matching shoes and a gold bracelet on her wrist. Her hair is loose and wavy, and it spills down her waist. Most notably, she does not wear her signature glasses. All of these made her look like a completely different person. And according to everyone's reactions, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
