Shadow's Reach

NAME: Athena
SEX: Female
AGE: 20
CLASS: Thief

After the hard and somewhat cold attitude of Aren, the introduction of the sassy and sexy Athena gives a somewhat more feminine edge to the game. A prominent thief across the border and with a playful nature, her life-choices make her clash with the straight-arrow Dante in a sibbling-like way.

Thieves come with a variety of useful abilities, largely based around amassing treasure. With Athena in your party you'll be able to steal Health and Magic power from your enemies as well as items, and her ability to pick locks will open up whole new areas of the game previously unaccessable. In addition the overworld will now be a place to seek out treasure, and digging it up will provide its own rewards. Whilst not a combat dynamo like Dante or Marcus, her out-of-battle abilities will be essentialy in some missions.

The first character introduced who doesn not have an immediate link to the overreaching story arc of the game, but who will bring a whole new dimension of comedy and mad capers to proceedings. Athena is set to be a firm player favourite.
