Athena's VS sprite from HeartGold and SoulSilver |
Athena is the only female Rocket Executive in the reborn Team Rocket in Johto. She appears to be Apollo's second-in-command. The player battles her twice, first time in Mahogany Rocket Hideout in a double battle with a Grunt on her side and Lance on the player's side (in Generation II, the player battles her alone). Second time is in the Johto Radio Tower, where she's the last challenge before Apollo.
Just like other Executives, Athena has got a major overhaul in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, where her identity was expanded on. In addition, her color scheme got noticeably switched and her hair was restyled.

Trivia
- As she's the only female Executive in the Johto's Team Rocket, she could be easily adapted from her Generation II design in Generation IV. In this respect, she's the female counterpart of Apollo, who was based on the original male Executive. However, Lance and Lambda, originally using the same sprite as Apollo, had to be designed from scratch.
- Chermaine from Pokémon Adventures is based on Athena's original Generation II design, and is named differently because of the lack of names for the executives at the time. This makes her Athena's cross-canon counterpart.
- Athena may be the female Team Rocket Admin found in the Rocket Warehouse in Generation III, as their teams and positions are similar.
