Character description:
Athena is a flawed but caring mother. She is a strict disciplinarian whose overprotective nature towards her sons has been the source of conflicts between her and Ariel, especially due to Ariel's obsession with humans. She is known to have an explosive temper when provoked. Genuinely, she is a kind mother, and has a soft spot for Ariel - her youngest child.
[To ARIEL] I just don't know what we're going to do with you, young man. How many times must we go through this? You could've been seen by one of those barbarians - by - by one of those humans! They're dangerous. Do you think I want to see my youngest son snared by some fish-eater's hook?
Not another word - and I am never, NEVER to hear of you going to the surface again. Is that clear?[To SÉBASTIENNE] Do you, er, think I - I was too hard on him?
