Description Ever since she was practically born, Athena has loved having friends - especially since sister-from-another-mister Dawn Star was born mere weeks before Annie. Despite their differences in appearance, Athena and Dawn never really had a problem coming together. They've grown up trying to explore their finicky powers, and forging a bond stronger than diamond over such. Even before they learned that, one day, Annie would be Princess Dawn's very own royal adviser, these two have make Pinkie Promises to one another to never not be friends!


But Annie just doesn't have a "sister." She sees Mellow Vibes, her cousin, as an older brother (but only slightly). Practically raised together, there have been many an afternoon in which they busied themselves with coloring, or playing in puddles, or looking for new rocks to help align their chakras. Mel's calm demeanor is the perfect foil for Athena's excitable one, and they get along quite easily. Oftentimes, she, Dawn, Mel, and Jetstream all met at the castle, or her mom's cottage after school to unwind, relax, and spend many hours playing pretend, practicing their various abilities, or planning new ways to acquire those sweet, sweet cutie marks (with many snacks involved).


Jetstream is another foal that Athena has known most her life, and Aunt Rainbow Dash does love visiting her bizarre little "niece." As such, Annie was one of the first creatures to encourage Jet when he first got his wings underneath him, and comforts him when he's confused whether he wants to be a Wonderbolt when he grows up or not. In turn, Jetstream immediately stepped up when Annie mentioned she wished she could fly better like her friends (instead of just hovering all the time). He taught her how to strengthen her wings and always encouraged her to get to the next cloud, or the other side of the chasm. Athena, of course, has many, many friends in her catalog and adores each and every one. But her bestest friends will forever and always remain as such, and there isn't anything she won't do for those guys and gals!

Let's see here . . . we've got the main character, her sister-like-friend, her brother-like-friend, and her friend with benefits! It's a complete set! ;3

1. Awwww look at the foals cuddelingtogetherallcuteandsnugglyitstocuteeeee!!! There bond really is one of the purest in the entire verse. Both growing up as an only child, both living with great magical responsibilities and parental legacy to uphold- it's only natural they'd click together. But even then, it's so heartwarming to see the effort and love they put into making their friendship what it is. Growing up with a friend from birth means never feeling lonely, and that is such a blessing to anyone fortunate enough to have it <3 Also, this is the first time I've ever heard the phrase "sister-from-another-mister" and I just wanna thank you for introducing me to this I've needed this so much!!! 


2. Another equally adorable bond to say the least! I love how Mel is such a chill child even as a kiddo. Like, while Annie's macaroni mutant creation that was an afternoon art craft gone wrong is terrorizing everypony with it's cheesy tentacles and causing chaos, I can see Mel is over in the corner doing a hoof painting while humming just minding his own business. XD Their chaotic good and neutral good friendship is beautiful and as two sweet innocent kiddos it's even better. It makes me so happy Annie has such a strong tie with her family member(s).


3. Yes, finally, their origin story lol! I utterly LOVE how the part of their relationship that you chose to focus on was how much they encourage and help one another. I love how Annie helps him in more emotional ways, like facing his flying fears and his wonderbolt doubts. While Jet is more practical by way of teaching her how to become a stronger flyer. It plays so well to their strengths and demonstrates what a good pair they make. No doubt this is a bond meant to last forever.


This. This is why I LOVE this fandom and your verse so much. The magic of it all really is friendship <3

No, Sunset Shimmer/anything at all to do with Equestria Girls will not be featured in the Athenaverse. I don't consider it canon lol
