Fanon:Athanasia Kostopoulou

Athanasia Kostopoulou (Gk. Αθανασία Κωστόπουλου), born December 12, 1978, is the sister of the head of the Kostopoulos Shipbuilding Firm, Angelos Kostopoulos. Athanasia is very much ambitious, very willing to make her name meaningful (it means immortal). Athanasia believes that the Kostopoulos Shipbuilding Firm is an avenue of immortalizing her name, although Athanasia views it as a means to an end rather than something to treasure in the long run. It is Athanasia who steers the Kostopouloi into adopting "noble" conventions, something that isn't entirely compatible with the individual members of the Kostopouloi, most notably Kyriake. Although Athanasia is a big fan of luxury and high social status, she has proven to be quite spartan in actual lifestyle as she has preferred minimizing costs, preferring cheap food and decorations in her private sphere of life.

Athanasia is particularly disappointed with Kyriake given her "unladylike" preferences, as well as her apathy to the opposite sex. The latter element is especially important, as Athanasia had hoped to use Kyriake as a honey trap to expand Kostopouloi interests. In fact, Athanasia only wishes that Kyriake was as interested as her son, Theophylaktos. However, given Kyriake's condition, Athanasia decides to take advantage of what she has, and has since adopted a policy to have Theophylaktos become the heir to the Kostopouloi legacy over Kyriake.

Athanasia is a bitter rival to the wife of her brother's rival, Ayla Demirci. In fact, the Athanasia-Ayla rivalry is far more hostile than the relatively friendly rivalry of Angelos and Bayram given their fundamental disagreement regarding mannerism. Such is the rivalry that they egg Angelos and Bayram respectively to outdo each other, even though Angelos and Bayram more often than not is more interested in limited cooperation learned from their experience.

Athanasia is most skilled in the fields of art, having 4 points in Painting, and 3 points each in Cooking and Sculpting. Athanasia also possesses a laptop in her inventory like Angelos.
