  skill three.   even though athena is almost always caught wearing a pair of high heels she can still sprint and run far, far, far away. you won't catch her.

you put on everyday?

perfection is shallow, unreal,

and fatally uninteresting.

history.

LORE : origin .

Athena's childhood was a vibrant tapestry woven with colors and imagination. Growing up in a small village nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, she was immersed in a world of natural beauty. The rolling hills, cascading waterfalls, and blooming flora served as her playground and a constant source of inspiration. Encouraged by her artistically inclined family, Athena embraced her creativity from an early age. She would spend countless hours doodling, painting, and experimenting with various art forms, infusing her surroundings with her unique artistic flair.As she got older, Athena's passion for design expanded beyond traditional art forms. She found herself captivated by the transformative power of spaces and how they could shape emotions and experiences. This fascination sparked her curiosity to explore the world of interior design. Guided by mentors and fueled by her innate sense of aesthetics, she delved deeper into the realm of creating harmonious and functional environments.Hailing from a small village, Athena embarked on a journey of self-discovery, traversing the captivating cities of Hydaelyn in search of artistic inspiration. From the bustling streets of Ul'dah to the elegant architecture of Gridania, and the innovative designs of Old Sharlayan, she immersed herself in the diverse cultures and architectural styles of each city, absorbing their unique textures, colors, and atmospheres. As her talent flourished, she delved deeper into her craft, pouring her heart and soul into her work, often sacrificing her own well-being in the pursuit of perfection, transforming from a carefree wanderer to a driven and renowned interior designer, recognized and celebrated for her remarkable creations.

Stepping foot into the fabled city-state of Ishgard for the very first time, Athena was immediately enraptured by its grandeur and rich history. The towering spires, intricate stained glass windows, and the palpable air of elegance that enveloped the city spoke volumes about its storied past. As Athena delved deeper into Ishgard's nooks and crannies, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable connection to its historical tapestry, a sense of belonging that tugged at her heartstrings. With each passing moment, her admiration for Ishgard's beauty and heritage grew, ultimately leading her to make the life-altering decision of establishing herself as an interior designer in this enchanting realm.Ishgard's status as a hub of artistic excellence served as a breeding ground for Athena's imposter syndrome and perfectionism. Despite the adoration and praise she received as a world-renowned designer, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was merely an imposter in the grand tapestry of the design world. The more success she achieved, the more she doubted her own abilities, constantly questioning whether she truly deserved the recognition and fearing that one day, the façade would crumble, revealing her true inadequacy.In those rare pockets of free time, Athena often seeks refuge in nature, taking long walks amidst the picturesque landscapes that surround her. In addition, Athena takes pleasure in connecting with fellow artists and designers, attending exhibitions and workshops to exchange ideas and learn from their expertise. She values the sense of community and collaboration that comes from sharing her craft with like-minded individuals, and she cherishes the friendships that have blossomed through these creative connections.
