Athena spent her foalhood growing up in a exceptionally wealthy family, a family with a hoof in nearly every major company across Equestria. Because of this, she spent early years living in luxury, however, as she was the oldest of her siblings, she was chosen as the heir to the family name.

View MoreAthena spent her foalhood growing up in a exceptionally wealthy family, a family with a hoof in nearly every major company across Equestria. Because of this, she spent early years living in luxury, however, as she was the oldest of her siblings, she was chosen as the heir to the family name. This didn't effect her life too much, sure, she wasn't allowed to attend normal schools like the rest of her siblings, or spend time with any friends she might have met through other means, and yeah, all the extra political history and economics lessons were difficult, but at least got an hour or two out of the day to spend time doing what she loved to do, this however, all changed when she got her cutie mark.

One day, after an especially long lecture on the complexities of the stock market, Athena retired to the courtyard of her families mansion where she began to paint as she usually did in her time off, she enjoyed it, and she was fairly good at it too, especially for her young age. despite this, she had never shown anyone her work, especially her parents who seemed against the very idea of painting. Today however, as she began to clean up her supplies and store her finished painting with the rest before her next lessons, one of the many Attendants assigned to keeping the grounds in order, who had, in fact, been having an especially terrible day, managed to spot her painting as the young Athena was walking off with it. With just a glance, his outlook suddenly flipped and a smile spread across his face, all of his problems suddenly feeling like a distant storm. After this sudden burst of emotion, the Attendant quickly got the young foals attention, showering her with praise and admiration for her beautiful painting. This changed something for Athena, she had never thought that her painting could bring anything but looks of contempt from her parents, and just then she received it, her cutie mark. Of course, she knew her parents wouldn't be happy, but perhaps they might have a change of heart if they realized that she had found her calling, She was very wrong in this presumption.

Her parents were appalled at the very idea, calling the mark shameful, unworthy of someone belonging to their family even going as far as to demand removal of the mark entirely. That night, her parents personally accompanied her from expert to expert on the process of cutiemark removal, even going as far as speaking to a few shaman who were familiar with the topic. Eventually, they gave up, settling on the idea that if the filly were simply isolated, and kept away from anything vaguely artistic, then perhaps she would forget about it, and the mark would fade with her memories.

Her time in isolation passed quickly as she was escorted from course to course through out the entire day, she was given short breaks, however she was watched closely for their entire duration, and kept far away from anything that might stir her inspiration. Years passed and the mark never faded, then before long, her parents gave up all hope of recovering her from the path that their daughter had fallen into, and eventually they decided that not only was she unfit to inherit the family name, she was unfit to represent it all, disowning her from the family and casting her out on her own. They left her with some money, but only enough for her to get used to being on her own with as it would not last her long.

Eventually she found herself working at a restaurant, whose owner, a stallion named Scratchy took pity on Athena and gave her a job working there as a waitress. And over her time working there, she gradually began to recover her social skills through talking to the restaurants many customers, however, by the time she finally got back around to painting again, her skills had deteriorated so far, that her work was completely unrecognizable. Regardless though, despite what her parents had done to her, she vowed that she would make up for her lost talent through skill and regain that ability to make other ponies smile.
