Just Who IS White Owl?


White Owl is a messenger from the Goddess Athena, given three gifts to aid her in bringing wisdom to a world that is filled with chaos. The gifts she was given are as follows:
Strength Flight/Maneuverability Healing Factor
In the Strength category, White Owl can basically lift about 2000 pounds. Her healing factor keeps bruises and cuts from lasting more than overnight. She can be injured, but she gets better fairly quickly.
She's a college educated woman, with a degree in archaeology and two books on ancient Greek culture, including one on a history of the religion of the Amazons. She earns her keep through writing, museum exhibits and lecture tours. She also owns one third of a family business in her home town of Queen City, the Gold Line Chili restaurant chain.
Athena Nikos is an orphan. Her parents, a Greek immigrant and a British woman, have died in the past three years. She has an older brother, Alex, who is married and runs the restaurant, and two cousins, Markus and Jason.
She is not the only heroine in the Nikos family. Her younger sister, Diana, is a research physicist for Monitor and Wager, Queen City's biggest employer. Diana is also the non-powered heroine, Stinger.
White Owl has had several battles with super criminals as well as with the normal garden type and usually manages to pull through in the end.
To learn how she became the White Owl, read the origin story
In The Beginning, which can be found in the story archive. (Thanks to Sportsman for the bio, I couldn't have done it better)
