Although she lived most of her life as an ordinary young girl, she is the reincarnation of the goddess Athena during this time, something she discovers on the same boat trip in which her friend Shōichirō dies and after awakening as a goddess uses her power to save a large number of students. After this event, Cattleya is taken to the Sanctuary, where she is introduced to the Gold Saints as Athena and her destiny as a goddess is revealed to her.
