Is Athena a Fairy or an Elf?
Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but according to the Mercedes storyline, Athena Pierce is an elf.
On the other hand, during the Ellin Forest questline to fight Epinea, Athena says "As a fairy myself,..."
So which is she? o.o

A male NPC representing an archer? Impossible.
Shes a Falmer
She's clearly both, a felf.
[quote=Laviathan]shes a greek god.. didn't you read the percy jackson series?[/quote]
No I didn't, but I was really into Greek mythology at one point.
I should have specified: Athena Pierce.

I hope you get pushed off a cliff by someone you love.
@sparkshooter:
Yea, thats what i thought, thanks for clarifying though, i googled it
[quote=Burst2Blazes]Are you sure its "An unicorn" that sounds awkward Imo[/quote]
Grammar lesson of the day.
'A' and 'an' go by the [i]sound[/i] of the first syllable, not by the first letter of the noun. So it's an hour, or an heir, the first letter may be a consonant, but the first syllable is a vowel sound. Likewise, a unicorn, or a university.
OT: So many connections to literature.
Athena = Greek goddess of wisdom and war in Percy Jackson.
Elf = Species of fairy in Artemis Fowl.
I miss human Maple characters.
[quote=xxxadultonly]i always though male but in the all the pictures/videos nexons plays shes female.. masculine name[/quote]
It's quite wierd also because Maple's splash screen has a male aran.

Greek god[b]ess[/b]. Mother of Annabeth and a much of other kids.
Elfs are related to fairys in the same manner that house cats are related to lions.
I recall in Maplestory that the Elves are a "long extinct" species of fairy.
[quote=RubberDonkey]What about Kyrin's mother? Ellin forest also says shes a fairy. Does that mean Kyrin is a half-fairy pirate? o_o[/quote]
I'm pretty sure Kyrin is a mix. There was something about her mom being too mechanical rather than using nature or whatever, so falling for a human wouldn't be too farfetched.
@laviathan: No, I read Greek Literature
It's 2013. Some people are trans-elfed. Get over it.

[quote=iBattleMages]No, that's Athena. Athena Pierce's last name changes that.[/quote]
& @xkillo32:
Oups, sorry I didn't really read the thread, just saw "Athena" in the title then I went into greek mythology mode.
[quote=Hugh19161]She's an elf. This has been confirmed. Though I miss old, pudgy athena.[/quote]
The old Athena is still in Future Hene.

Is it bad i laughed
I think I remember reading how Elves and Fairys are just a split race.
Well is Aran a Male or Female?
Some things in maplestory are just not meant to be questioned

[quote=AznViper]An unicorn.
Can you not tell?[/quote]
Are you sure its "An unicorn" that sounds awkward Imo
Athena's an Elf, but I believe she was raised my Mercedes' faeries, right? She may have been a bit confused when she was younger, or just viewed herself more as a faery in culture than in biology?
I think there was a story in there about her parents having a mix. She's both elf and fairy.
Inter species relationships goes a long way
shes obviously a man
in some stories elf= faeries
does it matter the way u spell them?
An unicorn.
Can you not tell?
An elf fairy? o.o
(E) well actually, I thought elves were considered to be faeries in the mercedes storyline
