Athena – Tales from the Borderlands

Athena Tales from the Borderlands

Athena’s lore in the Borderlands universe is thick with tragedy as well as general badassery.

From her NPC roots in the original Borderlands, where being raised as an assassin, fighting for and against General Knoxx, and finally becoming a Vault Hunter herself are only entry-level portions of her tale.

It wasn’t until Tales from the Borderlands that we learned of her love interests, as she is in a relationship with junk dealer Janey Springs—with plans to get married.

Borderlands is well-known for its large numbers of LGBT characters, but Athena being a major part of the story-based Telltale release gives her a more interesting look than most from this universe.
