I like Athena’s design more than a lot of people, but looking at the concept art they went through so many designs for her, and there are so many that I would have rather they went with. They’re simpler than her current busy design, addressing the complaints people have, and they’re so nice looking! LIKE THIS ONE, which is both adorable and classy looking.

Look at her little shorts! Look at her curly hair! I love it! Honestly, Athena strikes me as way more someone who’d go with shorts, considering how athletic she is (though on the same note, I guess she’d be unlikely to wear those heels because of that, so turn them to flats)

cuuuuute. I wonder if they ditched this design bc the curly hair would have been hard for a cg sprite. But if that was the case, I would have been down with this:

sUCH a cute. It really gets her personality across with a fairly simply design. Athena really need little shorts over tights it’s just a good aesthetic okay. She looks so spunky. Based on other sprites, i think they coulda pulled that hair off too. And the silhouette’s pretty great!I

Then:

I think this one is probably TOO simple, and doesn’t quite get across her personality (looks a little too..idk conservative?) but look how cute she is!
THEN WE GET TO THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST *fans self*

I WANT ATHENA THE SUSPENDERS-AND-TIE-AND-CAP WEARING LESBIAN. like this just screams “i’m gay” and also hits all my aesthetic buttons gooood i just. want her to wear this.
why do they do maid outfits and shit for dlcs they should give us all the characters unused concept designs.
but honestly, looking through the designs, i guess the real moral is to be grateful we didn’t get this:

Really dodged a bullet there.
