The name of Atherna creates a very quiet, practical nature and a clever and inventive mind. While you long for the affection and understanding of close association, and enjoy home and family, you also require freedom, as you are independent and need a certain amount of time on your own. Practical creativity such as in craft work, cooking, or sewing appeals to you. As a result, you could be accused of being unfriendly. When you are interested in a subject, you tend be very thorough and meticulous, even exceedingly fussy over details. Scientific, technical, and mathematical subjects appeal to you. Because of your reserved nature and self-consciousness, you find it easier to express your thoughts through writing than verbally. You are not versatile and adaptable, being instead somewhat fixed in your ideas and opinions. You desire so much to be understood, but your name has limited your verbal expression to such an extent that it is very difficult for you to divulge your innermost thoughts even to those closest to you. Your desire for heavier foods, could bring weaknesses in health affecting the stomach or intestinal organs, and could cause, for example, either constipation, arthritis, rheumatism, or growths.
