Atashi is actually just a contraction of Watashi, since it's used solely by woman it could be seen as girly, but I've only ever seen it used for more 'tomboy' or rough girl type characters actually (Both Jolyne Cujoh and Hermes Costello from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure use it, for instance, and they're both in prison for starters), Like Saki herself. Using shortened language is like the oposite of formal in japanese, so a deliquent using Atashi makes lots of sense
