Finally, we meet Orange Planet's Athena-san, the third of the Mizu no Sandaiyousei (水の三大妖精 - "The Three Great Faeries of the Waters"). She's a mostly quiet, unassuming gal who happens to be VERY scatterbrained (what the Japanese call a dojikko) but possesses a kind heart and incredible canzone (It. song) skills (marvelling at one of Athena's rangy soprano tunes, Akari calls her "tenshi no utagoe," which literally means "angel's song voice"). Athena is Alice's roommate and senpai, and though Alice views this particular senpai with some condescension and irritation (from always having to take care of her clumsy messes), she comes to realize that Athena has been quietly supporting her from the shadows since the very beginning. Her anime seiyuu is Kawakami Tomoko, with the peerless a capella soprano solos provided by Kawai Eri.
"She often trips over flat ground, spills her drinks, forgets the most important things, and hits the hang-up button on herself while talking on the phone..."
Hime-shacchou: she's the blue-eyed honorary head of Himeya Company, which is the establishment that Aika belongs to (and is, in fact, the heiress of). Her seiyuu is not credited in the anime, but then, she doesn't get that many "lines" (not that many = zero)...
Maa-kun: an abandoned kitten (and what an ugly one, at that) found and secretly nursed by Alice (Orange Planet does not allow its employees to keep pets). It (we are unsure of its gender at this point) was named "Maa-kun" because "maa" is apparently the only sound it can make, and it also seems to have a talent for biting Aria-shacchou where it hurts. People did find out about its existence, but luckily for Alice, Athena discovered that it has aquamarine eyes (how can you tell?!) and persuaded Orange Planet to adopt it as its new honorary president (the previous one had just passed away). So I suppose its name is now actually Maa-shacchou... Its seiyuu is the versatile Watanabe Akeno.次回も水の惑星(アクア)でご一緒しましょう。
