It's not at all unbelievable that the MC would forget his/her birthday given everything that's going on and I would not be surprised to learn that Atlas has never (or not since they were still with their parents) celebrated his/her birthday, so I would imagine to Atlas her/her birthday is a day like any other.

I actually forgot my birthday once. I didn't forget it altogether, because I vaguely recall remembering a week or so early that my birthday was coming (hard not to when my sister's birthday is literally less than a week before mine and my family is very big on celebrating birthdays on birthdays), but I woke up on my birthday and didn't remember it was my birthday until someone wished my happy birthday. This was back when I was ten or eleven or thereabouts and I got walkie talkies for that birthday and possibly my neon green hip-pack, both of which I can probably locate if were to go looking through my stuff long enough.
