Catagory:Athena Shepard

"...I've gotten wise in my age, and tamed the threat of my rage..."
Athena Shepard is the middle of all the "Shepards" Upon the Normandy SR-2. Being neither the youngest nor the oldest, however she has a very impressively reliable back ground. She does not have any Biotic powers, unlike her mother and late brother. She is the youngest of two children, born on the SSV Einstein to James and Hannah Shepard.

She is a dedicated military advocate, and firm believer that there is always another way when face with great adversity where the common reaction is pure violence. She has a very low outlook on those whom steal, or feel entitled. She also openly detests any ideal of inequality not only in gender, but race.

Childhood.
Athena was born and lived her first few years on the SSV Einstein. She attended private military academies all through out space. All through her school years she was active and quite gifted in art classes. Being a very wide ranged and capable Second Soprano. She was part of every Drama presentation as well as Choir competitions. She was often invited to sing at events with the Alliance Symphony, at anything from sport events to more exclusive parties.

She graduated as Valedictorian a year earlier then her peers from her fathers Alma Marter, Vanderton Military academy. Despite being a accepted Mensa member, graduating with exceptionally high marks, and being offered full scholarships to a plethora of well known universities, Athena Declined stating that a military life was the fate she would most prefer.

During the year between her Graduation, and her enlistment she lived on her own on the Citadel. She worked two jobs, Secretary for C-sec executor, and hostess for the Asari consort.

Athena filed her paper work to enlist a week in advance for her 18th birthday, and post dated the filing to the day before. Thus ensuring she was called First thing on her birthday to be enlisted.

Military Career before Spectres
Athena was immediately pulled from boot camp and placed under the Alliance military N7 special forces shortly after the first week of boot camp starting. She excelled at tasks before her, however had a vast and nearly insatiable knack for needing to perfect every possible scenario she was encountered with. Often Refusing to move on until the mission went Flawlessly.

She resented and would not tolerate civilian casualties, as well losing a member of her squad. After the first few N7 missions she coined the code name of "Seraph", for being like a saving Angel on the battle field, with no team casualties and no innocent blood spilled.

She worked closely with only N7 operations, choosing N7 operations over other positions to stay with N7 at all times. However, that changed when she refused a operation dossier, that was with her brother on silencing a small Batarian slaver ring. The mission ended disastrously, when the Intel was incorrect and what was supposed to be Small Batarian outpost was a Key Blood pack store house. Her brother Died in Surgery afterwards. She took the weight of his death personally, blaming herself. Which only brought on more guilt due to other missions she had refused, that had causalities as well.

She Immediately took the next dossier, wishing to help save those who needed her most. She Joined the Normandy crew that day, and worked loyally under Captain Anderson, until she took over the Normandy after her induction to the Spectres.
