Juliette Athene Lyons
NAME: Juliette Athene Lyons
NICKNAME(S): Athene
GENDER: Female
AGE: 21
BIRTHDAY: November 9th
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
Growing up with the name Juliette was not fun. Athene hated being compared to half Shakespeare's famous star-crossed pair. People would judge her as a romantic or a naive child, leading Athene to go by her middle name. At least being compared to the goddess of wisdom was somewhat bearable. To give some background, her mother, Amelia, was a history teacher while her father, Vincent, was a writer. His romantic ideals formed themselves in Athene’s first name, Juliette, while her mother gave her a name inspired by her favorite time period, Classical Greece. To say that her parents were an odd couple was not untrue. Vincent was a stay-at-home dad to work on his novels, attending to Athene and being the homemaker, while Amelia was at work. The family was a small but loving one, giving Athene the best environment to grow up in. In any matter, Athene was a bit of a lonely one as she was her parents' only child, coupled with her odd names. It wasn't until she met Aurelia Knight in 5th grade that her life began to pick up speed. While Aurelia was beautiful, Athene was smart, getting them into all kinds of wild trouble. Somehow, the two managed to get through elementary school and then high school with Aurelia picking up prom queen and Athene becoming Valedictorian. Now, Athene is studying neuroscience while Aurelia is working towards law school. As the new fall semester picks up, what does the future have in store for the two friends?

Athene is somewhat of a rare breed. Kind but not disillusioned, she will go out of her way to help people and genuinely wants to make the world a better place. Her dream is to become a top neuroscientist as she believes the brain is the key to unlocking the human potential. Much like her namesake, Athene is quite intelligent, viewing the world like a giant chessboard. She prefers when everything is simple and straightforward, usually avoiding complex situations like flirtation. It’s not that she’s incapable, but rather confused by the whole affair. When she isn’t with a book or Aurelia, Athene is usually sleeping. That’s how mundane her life can be sometimes. However, don’t mistake her for complacent – Athene can be the most competitive person, using all her skills to become the victor. Though usually, Athene gets her fill of excitement from Aurelia and tends to be a balancing force to her best friend's antics. The two aren't often seen without the other.
Aurelia Knight: Despite her bitchy exterior, Aurelia is one of the funniest and sophisticated women out there. She is socially aware and knows exactly how to play her cards. She sees Athene as a little sister and tries to get her out of her small world. Also, her daddy happens to be the creator of a certain kind of computer chip and makes sure his little princess has everything she wants. Aurelia also picked up some hacking skills though she wants to pursue a career in law.
