Athena Grant (9-1-1)

When Athena was 9, her father, Samuel Carter and the rest of her street she lived on helped look for a missing girl, from the Kingston family who was in the grade below Athena. The little girl had been kidnapped from her bed. The only trace of the girl they found was a hair clip in the woods. Athena saw how hard losing a child hit the little girl's parents and vowed to become a police officer so that she could find the little girl and reunite her with her parents. Emmett calls Athena later on what kind of dinner to pick up for their meeting with Beatrice. Athena asks him for a favor to pick up cream for her mother's coffee as well, to which he accepts, thinking he would "rack up future son in law points". After they hang up, she tells Beatrice it bought them more time, as in reality, she wanted more time to look at her wedding dress with Beatrice helping her. Happy for her, Beatrice tells her Emmett is a good man and she knows they will have a wonderful life together.

A little while after that, she receives a phone call that leads her to a convenience store, where she finds Emmett's body, having been gunned down in a "wrong place, wrong time" robbery. Devastated, she goes off herself to be the one to break the news to his mother, whom she had grown close with. The case itself and the identity of the killer would haunt her for the next thirty years and it convinces her to remain as an officer, Athena eventually marries Michael Grant and has two children, Harry and May together. Fourteen years later, he comes out to her as gay and she had trouble coming to terms with it especially when she was told that he was seeing someone behind her back. Another day, Athena prepares the kids for school when her daughter was apparently sick. Going into her room to see about her, she found that she had taken some pills that belonged to her she recovered though. Athena is blunt, devoted, tough, and able to think outside of the box. She's very accomplished and professional. She is a very loving and motherly person.
