Princess Athena (アテナ姫, Atena Hime), also known as Goddess Athena or simply Athena, is a character and main protagonist in the SNK arcade game Athena, which was later ported to several platforms.

Athena became very popular upon her debut, as the sole bikini-wearing heroine in the market at the time. According to an interview with Gamest, the developers state that the planner from Alpha Mission wanted to create a brand new heroine to separate his new project from the 'mass-produced' shooting games he had done. Her bikini getup was chosen in appreciation of the female form and also to help her put on different outfits. She was voted as the 12th best idol character in the 1993 issue of Gamest's Gals Island 2.

She is voiced by Haruna Ikezawa and Mie Itou.

Square-Enix has yet to issue a public reply. The PDF explaining the legal issue is the August 6, 2014 Press Release document on SNK Playmore's Japanese website.
