- Miss Anderson

Miss Anderson is a character who debuted in In the Shadow of an Aurora. An overly mysterious figure, she is revealed to be the Greek Goddess Athena. She is controlled by.

History
Athena was born to the Greek God Zeus after her absorbed the soul of his first wife, Metis, while she was still pregnant with Athena. Metis survived, and gave birth to Athena inside of Zeus' head. She grew within Zeus' head, taught of knowledge of the outside world by her mother. Eventually, Zeus felt a splitting headache in his head. Hephaestus split his head open with his axe, and Athena emerged from his head fully grown.

Some time after, she, Apollo, Hermes helped Zeus assist in defeating Vortigon after he was driven mad by his newfound chaos powers, however, her shield Aegis was broken in three pieces in the ensuing fight.

Thousands of years passed, and after the various gods became redundant, Athena, along with many of the other gods of earth blended in to society, Athena setting up residence in America under the alias of Miss Anderson. Eventually, she is alerted to the Link's awakening and it's binding to Aurora Blue, causing her to come out of hiding to locate Aurora. Finding Aurora and her family, she offers them a deal; Aurora will go with her, and she will be able to cure her condition. Aurora agrees, and she takes her to Cairo, Illinois to see Mr. Ibis and Isis to inspect Aurora's state.

Enhanced Strength
Anderson is a powerful fighter, being a Goddess of War. She is able to crack concrete with a single well placed punch and lift incredibly heavy objects as well as superhuman reflexes.

Immortality
As a god, Anderson is naturally immortal and cannot be physically harmed by mortal means. Only other gods or powerful enough weapons can harm her.

Spear
Anderson's double ended spear is disguised as a small metal tube, which can retract and open up at will. It can also fire a beam of energy from either tip of the blade.

Aegis
Her shield, Aegis, is by far her most powerful weapon. Ingrained with memetic runes that induce paralyzing fear, they are capable of stopping an enemy in it's tracks in fear. The runes were rendered ineffective when Aegis was destroyed.

Regeneration
Anderson is capable of healing herself, although at a much slower rate compared to other gods.
