Can I ask you something? I'm making a modern au fanfic and I was thinking what Athanasia would study / work and I can't think of anything. I know she likes to study, so I think it would be easy for Athy to choose one of these majors where people studies a lot (medicine, law, engineering...) but I don't know which of them best suits her personality.

I'm biased because I'm a law graduate, but hear me out, I think law really fits Athy. It's a super academically intensive career, which sounds like something she would be into. It's also very associated with power (and I guess to some extent with ruling, lots of people in positions of power are lawyers, including heads of state), which I think is the best translation of the kind of duties she fulfills as crown princess without making her literally modern royalty (I like fictional and historical royal figures, modern ones... not so much lol). Also, Athy genuinely is someone who cares a lot about things like justice and fairness, so I can see her being interested in that romantic idea of law that most first year students have (before discovering the hell they got themselves into /j). And this might be just me, but when Athy talked back to Anastasius in the empress arc, and then exposed his real colors to the nobles, that sounded just like the closing arguments of a really good prosecutor.

#wmmap #medicine is interesting! i don't see a connection with Athy's canon character (that would be Lucas who is always healing useless dads lol) #but i like the idea of her being a doctor too #a medical drama with doctor Lucas and doctor Athy called 'Obelia Med'... sounds cool actually #making her a sort of CEO is really popular in the fandom cuz i guess people think Claude would be a CEO and because of those k-dramas #(why tho?? Obelia is a country and empire not a company. Unless they think conglomerate = empire??) #but i dont like it LMAO Athy spent one life living in frugality another life in extreme poverty i'm sure she hates korean CEOs the most #c'mon Athy loves to study loves to learn new things she fits the scholar type of character! Not a useless CEO lmao
