GALLERY

Atlanta ("The Hunter") is the descendant of Atalanta. She was the second teen brought to New Olympia and is mentored by Artemis.

Physical appearance

Atlanta has tan skin. She has short red hair and hunter green eyes as well as two gold earrings per ear. Her normal attire is consisted of a blue-striped crop top basic shirt with a light blue rectangle on her chest, green cargo shorts with a black belt, black wristband on her left wrist, white shin-length socks and black and white sneakers. Her belly button is shaped like a tear drop.

Personality

Atlanta often works well with those around her and shows great loyalty to the ones she cares for. She does what she can to keep those around her safe and help defeat the current opponent. While Atlanta is usually caring and hard working, one of her biggest weaknesses is her pride. When given genuine warnings from the Gods that she should not attempt something for her own safety, Atlanta often tends to take it as an insult to her ability of whether or not she can do something and will set out to prove herself but usually finds herself being overwhelmed and needing help to reverse her mistake. During times like this she is sometimes under a spell but it is often her wounded pride that first causes the situation or spell to take full effect. When realizing she is the one who is wrong, Atlanta does what she can to correct things, make amends, and accept whatever punishment she may face.

When around the Gods, Atlanta is usually very respectful and polite, doing her best not to demand things from them or talk back when she feels they may be wrong. She does occasionally tease the deities she is on more comfortable terms with but will do what she to help them just as she does her friends.

Atlanta seems to relish facing challenges but, depending on the situation, can sometimes over stress herself. She can at times be rather arrogant most likely caused by knowing she is not easy to catch thanks to her speed and will often engage in trash talking. As a hunter, she is very confident in her tracking abilities and knowing the mannerisms of most animals.

Biography

Atlanta was born and raised in the Northwest Territories and was brought up around weapons and such, which gave her the means for her odd passion of dangerous weapons.

In the series

Atlanta Synopsis

Abilities and Weapons

Atlanta is super-fast, has exceptional reflexes and tracking abilities. Atlanta uses jaw-trap steel bolas as her weapon of choice, though she gradually tires of using steel bolas as enemies often run off with them or break them and elects to use a small wrist crossbow that shoots laser beams.

Atlanta is an experienced hunter, knows how to use traditional and modern weapons. For example, an arrow bow and an electro-muscular stun gun. Dispuse of excellent combat skill combined with his speed and reflexes provides enormous advantage. Practice, like all elected officials, various sports and the art of combat in order to be prepared. Seems to be practicing martial arts, in one episode Archie mentions that he and Atlanta have a judo class.

Relationships

• Archie: Atlanta is originally shown to be somewhat interested in Archie but either not acting on this knowledge or pretending to not notice. She often engages in humorous banter with him although many can tell that there is hidden interest and can occasionally be seen with a look of jealousy when Archie is attracted to another girl. Over time, Atlanta begins to realize she has feelings for Archie but is afraid to act on them since she is afraid that it would change their dynamic and the team's. It wasn't until The Deep End that she confessed she cared for him the same way he did toward her.

• Pan: The god of the forest and a modern dj. In The Nature of Things, Atlanta is shown to be romantically interested in Pan's alter ego, but it was revealed that part of her interest was due to a hidden spell in his music that affected her judgement. When she was free from it, she continued to be interested in him but seems to have toned down her interest and instead joins him in restoring nature during critical moments.

• The Chosen Ones: Atlanta's closest friends. She has developed a sibling-like bond with them and usually spends her time with one or more of them. As her friends often look out for her safety, she does the same for them and does what she can to help keep them safe and defeat their latest enemy. As Theresa is the only other girl on the team, Atlanta often spends girl time with her and they get along very well despite their different interests. She also gets along well with the boys and enjoys teasing them on occasion.

• The Gods: Atlanta shows them great respect majority of the time but, when under influence of a spell or her own pride, she can be rude toward them and call them out on things she finds unfair. She is often very polite toward them and grateful when they offer their help in a situation.

Trivia

• Archie says he wouldn't take orders from Atlanta because she's a Junior in high school.^[1] This implies she is 16 or 17 years old.

• Atlanta's original designs depicted Atlanta in a white T-shirt

• Atlanta's ancestor was originally supposed to be the Greek heroine and huntress, Atalanta, from the start (as evidenced by early descriptions made before the series was finalized^[2]). By the time the series began, this was changed to Artemis (as seen in the opening sequence and stated in the first episode^[3]) for unknown reasons, possibly due to Artemis being more recognizable a character than Atalanta. However, this created a plot hole, as Artemis was both a goddess, not a hero, and famously a virgin who would obviously not have any descendants. This error was later rectified in the series to clarify that Atlanta was indeed a descendant of Atalanta, but the change to Artemis remained in the opening sequence during Season Two.

• Atlanta's speed is a reference to Atlanta's famous footrace. Her father tried to make her get married, but she challenged that a suitor had to beat her in a footrace before they could marry her, and she would kill the losers.

• Atlanta originally has no interest in dating, as noted by Herry who describes her as "totally unavailable," and Jay who says that "no guy has a chance with her," in The Nature of Things. In the same episode she did have a crush on Phil, who was the demi-god Pan in disguise and it was partly through a hidden spell in his music that she was interested in him.

• Atlanta is the second shortest character, being just a bit taller than Odie.

• Her favorite pizza is veggie pepperoni.^[4]
