Athena "Thea" BlackwoodTough & Independent: Athena doesn't show weakness. She's self-reliant and prefers to handle things on her own, never relying on others for help.
Empathetic Leader: As a sensei, she's deeply invested in her students' growth and well-being. She's tough but always has their back, offering guidance and support when needed.
Guarded & Private: Athena is careful with her emotions and keeps people at a distance. She's been hurt before, so she doesn't allow herself to get too close to anyone.
Haunted by Regret: Though she doesn't show it, Athena carries a sense of regret about past choices. She believes in moving forward, but something always seems to hold her back.
Strong but Vulnerable: While she's incredibly strong on the outside, on the inside, she's often conflicted. She struggles with vulnerability and doesn't let people see her softer side.Justin Long (Younger Self)
