Athena is an Insomniac. Her thoughts keep her awake, and even sometimes it is just nothing that keeps her awake. Just the simple things, like whether or not she locked the windows and doors before she attempts to go to sleep. Simple things like why the sky is blue and why she can't fly like the birds and angels.
Athena wants to be able to sleep more than anything. She has tried all of the "Insomnia Remedies", but none of them work.
She doesn't think she will ever fall asleep again, which isn't very good. Until the day she meets another Insomniac, like herself.
