Athena has two storylines - one from Ellin Forest/Aran and one in the Mercedes storyline. At first, she was a fairy from Ossyria who, at the time of the Black Mage's attacks, helped people evacuate to Victoria, then helped establish the Altaire Camp.
In the Mercedes storyline, she is an elf who was quite close to Mercedes, and was a child at the time of the Black Mage. I don't remember anything explaining why she never got frozen along with Elluel, nor why she founded Henesys, in the Mercedes storyline.
Athena Pierce is probably one of the most retconned characters in the game.
