Called Kel. She is the first girl in Tortall to openly try for her shield, after [[Alanna of Trebond|Alanna]]. Kel faces a lot of open sexism. She is put on probation though no boy has ever been; her room is vandalised, and many of the boys she trains with bully her. However Kel persists, she becomes a good fighter will skills in jousting and command, and even changes the minds of some of her teachers about woman warriors.

'''Athena''' (third season human callsign; previous human callsign, "Boomer"; human full name, "Sharon 'Athena' Valerii"; possible married name "Sharon Valerii Agathon"; Cylon identity, "Number Eight") is a series of characters played by Grace Park on [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]], the 2004+ TV series.

The character "Boomer" was a minor sidekick on the original show: a fellow male pilot and friend of Starbuck's and Apollo's, who was played by an African-American actor, Herb Jefferson, Jr. In the re-envisioned 2004+ version, Boomer is a much more central character.

==Character arc (and spoilers)==
At the end of the pilot miniseries it is revealed that Boomer is actually a Cylon clone, later identified as model "number eight".

Thus, Grace Park comes to play several cloned versions of her character. All apparently have a very similar personality, and two of them share memories through the pilot miniseries. In these memories, Boomer believed herself to be human and had memories of being raised on Troy and orphaned at an early age. As a pilot on Battlestar Galactica she had a secret affair with Chief Galen Tyrol (secret, because she is an officer and he is enlisted).

After the miniseries, Boomer's memories diverge. See:
* [[Boomer clones]]
* [[Boomer (character)]]
* [[Athena (character)]]
* [[List of Cylon characters from Battlestar Galactica 2004+]]

While [[Boomer (character)|Boomer]] is back on Galactica, the character later known as "Athena" appears on Cylon-occupied planet Caprica, where "Helo", her fellow lieutenant and raptor-crewmember, was stranded at his own request. While this Boomer has all the memories through, apparently, the miniseries, she is aware that she is a Cylon, and is under a mission to have a love relationship with Helo. The two fall in love, and she becomes pregnant--a first for the Cylons. They eventually escape the planet and return to Galactica.
