|Personality|
Athena loves a good scroll, book and even textbook. She loves reading and does not care anything of how she looks like. Athena was very smart, brainy and talented. She doesn't care about her looks at all. Her personality is straight-forward and she only took interest in her studies and war strategies. Athena tends to be a bit of a primadonna,yadda yadda yadda with her slightly blunt personality comes to its deeper areas. Despite her fame and admiration, Athena tries to be modest but normally fails in this act. She is somewhat arrogant. She and Ares are both war related Gods, but Athena is in charge of the strategy side of war and Ares is in control of the bloody and ruthless side of war. 

As the goddess of wisdom, Athena is exceptionally brilliant, quick-witted, and disciplined. She always takes precautions before acting and is the type of person who disapproved of taking considerable risks.

In battle, Athena is a fierce, astute, and extremely unpredictable warrior and tactician. Despite her calm and reserved demeanor, she could become intensely focused in a duel, to the extent where one could easily believe that she and her sparring partner were actually fighting to the death. Athena was renowned for her frequent assistance of heroes on their quests. She is able to put aside personal grudges (at least for a time) to either help those who were in desperate need or to serve the greater good of all.

Furthermore, Athena has a soft side for those who seek knowledge and tries to help them as much as she can.  Athena had a sense of fairness and justice. This is shown to those who had offended her, as shown by how despite her great anger towards Arachne, she still found Arachne's fellow citizens, who had benefitted from her and still quickly turned on her after she mercilessly beat on Arachne, to be disgusting for having laughed at her. It was her moral principles that serve as part of the reason why Athena didn't have a good relationship with Ares, as she considered his violent and bloody version of combat tasteless. She also didn't get along well with Aphrodite, for her serious and dignified nature caused her to find the goddess of lust somewhat shallow and conceited. However, she shared a decent familial relationship with her half-sister Artemis, to the point where the two virgin goddesses often had conversations, for they shared somewhat similar personalities.

As far as gods go, Athena could be helpful, sympathetic, and kind to even those who had initially offended her. Even against Arachne, who had earlier greatly offended her for challenging her to a waving contest and mocking the Gods with her tape, after she hung herself in shame, she had enough compassion to turn her into a spider so she and her children could be expert weavers.

Athena can be prideful and stern, having a dark side like the other deities: she transformed Medusa and her sisters into the fearsome Gorgons just to get back at Poseidon, who had committed provocative acts in Athena's temple with his lover. Another example would her cursing the very flute that she had created only because playing it grotesquely altered her facial features, which in turn induced her fellow goddesses to tease her.

Despite her flaws, Athena still had highly admirable qualities such as  admitting that she was in an error, something that it wasn't within the nature of most deities, even remotely close. Hence, it can be said that though Athena could be as prideful as her father Zeus, she was still a goddess who was worthy of respect and admiration, for it was not within the nature of most deities to help in any way.

|Powers|

Divine Wisdom: As the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena is extremely wise, intelligent, and knowledgeable, constantly coming up with brilliant strategies. Due to her wisdom, she was the one Zeus trusted to check on the imprisoned Titans in Tartarus. However, Athena tends to measure the odds without taking her own or others' feelings into account.

Strategist: As the Goddess of Strategy, she is an exceptionally skilled tactician, greater than even Ares. Her genius-level intelligence, her astuteness, and her superb capacity for calculation makes her a frightening and supremely dangerous opponent in a fight. Zeus obviously admires and recognizes her incredible tactical skills, since he wouldn't let her leave the battle with Typhon because she was his best strategist. Unlike Ares, Athena only uses violence as a last resort after thinking things through and planning for the long term before acting. She isn't prone to outbursts of aggression or overconfidence and wouldn't make a pathetic mistake because she hated her target or held emotional opinions - if she made a plan to destroy an enemy, that plan would never fail.

Prowess in Battle: As the Goddess of Battle, Athena is a superb warrior and a complete master of both armed and hand-to-hand combat, but frequently uses her wisdom to overcome her opponents instead of sheer force. During the Trojan War, Athena managed to defeat Ares singlehandely and force him to flee the battlefield. During the First Giant War, she was able to defeat the fire-breathing Enceladus (the most cunning Giant) with the help of Hercules.

Telumkinesis: As the Goddess of Battle, Athena has great control over any weapon, much like Ares.

Weapon Conjuration: She can conjure and use any weapon, though she prefers to use her spear and Aegis.

Weapon Omniscience: She knows everything about a weapon when she sees it.

Weapon Curses: She can place curses on weapons.

Disarmament: She can disarm her opponents with a gesture.

Curses: As the Goddess of Battle, Athena can place horrible curses on objects.

Craftsmanship: As the Goddess of Crafts, Athena is an incredibly skillful craftswoman.

Weaving: She is best known for her talent in weaving, he very art of which she herself invented. In the Olympus riot, she made magical ropes capable to restrain Zeus. During her contest with Arachne, she wove a flawless tapestry that was "majestic, breathtaking, and radiated the power of the Olympian gods". Some say that her power of Weaving/Sewing is to an equal or less degree than Ariadne.

Inventions: While not quite as good at inventing things as her half-brothers Hermes and Hephaestus.

Item Teleportation: She was able to teleport items anywhere and to anyone.

Audiokinesis: Being a goddess of the arts, she has an affinity for arts and music. She has disciplined the following abilities:
Memorization: She can never forget what she hears.

Persuasion: She is shown to be very  eloquent, as she avoided punishment from the Olympus Riot. It is speculated that she even could manipulate Zeus.

Life Creation: Demonstrating to manipulate reality itself to a considerable extent, Athena was able to conjure up a magical serpent, which was intended to enhance the godly qualities of her son Erikthonius.

Transfiguration: Athena is very gifted in the power of transfiguration. As shown by transforming Medusa, Euryale, and Stheno into the first Gorgons, Coronis into the first raven, Arachne into the first spider, and Perdix into a partridge.

Mystiokinesis (limited): Athena has control over magic, though not as much as Hecate. She infused her power on Athena Parthenos (which acts as an incredible barrier and restorer) and enchanted a yankee cap with the power of invisibility.

Chlorokinesis (Limited): Though not as powerful as her aunt Demeter and her half-brother Dionysus, Athena has certain control over fauna. She can make grow certain plants like the olive trees.

Control of Animals: Athena appears to have a high level of control over animals sacred to her, such as owls and serpents.

Shapeshifting: As a goddess, Athena has the power of shapeshifting. As shown by transforming herself into pure intelligence (a skill she had learned from her mother Metis) in order to travel from Zeus' stomach into his head. When she first approached Arachne, she transformed herself into an elderly woman.
