Description
Saori Kido is the current incarnation of Athena, goddess of justice, wisdom, and heroic endeavor. Publicly, she leads the Graude Foundation and presides over the Meteor Private School student council. Secretly, she prepares to confront Gemini Saga's rule over Sanctuary. Raised by her adopted grandfather, Mitsumasa Kido, after Sagittarius Aiolos rescued her from Saga's infant assassination attempt, she now directs covert operations against Sanctuary's corruption.
Her personal secretary, Delphinus Mii, posing as a school secretary, aids her. Saori recruits and coordinates the female warrior Saintia, including Equuleus Shō, to act as her bodyguards and agents. Her strategy focuses on identifying loyal Saints while countering threats from opposing deities.
During conflicts instigated by Eris, goddess of discord, Saori discloses her divine nature to Shō following an attack on their school by the Dryad Ruin Atë. She consistently prioritizes civilian and Saintia safety during Eris's assaults. Saori mentors the Saintia, guiding Shō's training under Pavo Mayura and offering strategic counsel in battle.
Saori exhibits a reserved yet compassionate demeanor, shaped by her understanding of human suffering and divine responsibilities. She maintains diplomacy, such as declining marriage proposals at Julian Solo's birthday celebration due to her commitments. Her resolve is clear when confronting adversaries like Poseidon, offering herself as a sacrifice to delay global flooding while trusting her Saints to intervene.
Her divine capabilities include generating healing auras through her cosmos to mend critical injuries and using her blood to awaken the true power of Athena's Cloth, which becomes a protective statue when unworn. In critical battles, she employs defensive shields and strategic guidance.
Saori shares a complex dynamic with Mitsumasa Kido, whom she revered as a father figure and defends as honorable against misconceptions. She maintains a formal yet caring relationship with her butler, Tatsumi, one of the few aware of her divine heritage since childhood.
