Athena Asamiya (麻宮 アテナ) is a character originally from SNK's video games Athena (as the Princess/Goddess Athena) and Psycho Soldiers (as the young school girl Athena). The later is a descandant of the Princess Athena and is also the version that appears in most fighting games. Athena posesses psycho powers that are a legacy from her ancestor Princess Athena through her mother.

She is one of the few fighters that has appeared in every King of Fighters game so far, though she changes her outfit with almost every iteration.
