Her body is reasonably tough and strong, more than might be assumed considering its unimposing build, and she relies on this in combat to a degree - but speed and agility are her greatest assets and she knows how to use them.

But she is not stupid and knows there is a time for heavy strikes, and a time for soft steps.

	Once combat begins, she moves around the battlefield with great agility, often taking on multiple targets at once in close combat with seemingly little regard for her own safety, easily capable of taking on two or more targets simultaneously. Whilst she does carry a small arm, and is a well-trained shooter, she typically only tends to use it when engaging with targets out of reach (such as flying targets or high-ground shooters) or whilst moving tactically towards a target too far to reach in a single charge. The moment she is close enough to reach with a charge, she typically becomes a whirling dervish of spins, leaps, somersaults and flashing kicks. Those with knowledge of fighting styles have noticed her combat style of lightning-fast strikes appears to blend elements of the whirling dances of the dervishes of the Church of Sarenrae, and bygone Golarion's [https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Tian_Xia Tian Xia] martial arts. She runs in quick, spins and dances around her opponents whilst punching and kicking, then leaves behind a pile of bodies as she continues her dance onwards to her next target. She is a fairly dirty fighter, some would say, as she relies on feinting using acrobatics when attacking to open up the opportunity be able to deliver a more accurate and deadly blow.

	Athena commonly wears casual clothing when she's not expecting trouble - a t-shirt, pair of jeans, and sneakers being her typical look. Her standard outfit, however, is reconfigurable and she can quickly change it to a sporty tracksuit, a red ball gown, a black minidress, a body-hugging catsuit with microfibre grips for Zero-G environments, or a glittery silver-white dancing dress. She tends to travel light and is rarely in one place for long, so she is rarely seen in anything different but has been known to rent or purchase other clothing as the need arises.		Athena commonly wears casual clothing when she's not expecting trouble - a t-shirt, pair of jeans, and sneakers being her typical look.

She tends to travel light and is rarely in one place for long, so she is rarely seen in anything different but has been known to rent or purchase other clothing as the need arises.

	When travelling or anticipating the possibility of trouble, she wears her ~~Mk 2 ThermSkin~~ armour, a lightweight, form-fitting black suit of flexible ~~carbon fibre~~ and ~~blended fabrics~~ that ~~prioritizes ease~~ and quickness of movement~~, even in harsh environments~~. ~~It compensates for its lack of insulating layers~~ with ~~a webbing of temperature-regulating lines that run across~~ the ~~entire suit like meridians~~, ~~glowing dimly~~ with ~~shifting multicoloured lights as if mirroring the auroras in the sky. The faint glimmer can be increased if additional light~~ is ~~needed or dampened~~ in ~~situations where stealth is necessary~~, ~~and so~~ it ~~is typical for these lights to be set to bright purple and whites for normal usage and dimmed to~~ a ~~dark purple when stealth is required. A black opaque helmet provides additional protection, glare reduction, and life-support technology~~.		When travelling or anticipating the possibility of trouble, she wears her brigandine armour, a lightweight, form-fitting black suit of blended fabrics with dark purple flexible polymer breastplate and spaulders that flex almost as well as fabric under normal use, but become rigid as steel in response to impact. The armour has been modified with mithral joints that prioritize flexibility and quickness of movement. Those who know her history or look closely at Brutaris Cup archive footage will recognise this as the protective armour Athena wore during her time with the Absalom Buzzsaws, except the once-shiny white-and-purple armour has now been painted black with purple highlights, and is visibly scratched and worn in places, showing it has been through a lot of punishment.
