Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Since Athena wasn't born into Isket she would have been adopted and cared for by Soraya. Due to her shy personality, she didn't often socialize with other wolves and instead chose to stick close to Soraya, who, for most of her life, was thought to be her real mother. I imagine Soraya might have tried to teach her to be a bit more confident in herself, though really the most important thing that Soraya ever did for Athena was to provide a place of solace and comfort whenever she needed it.
