Gender:: Female
Species:: Goddess
Olympian Parent:: Zeus/Leto (titan)

Looks:: Artemis has what could be considered harmless when you first see her as she takes the form of the average age of her hunters. She is usually small in stature she can blend in well. In this form she can fit into her hunters and seem harmless unless you know what your looking for. As a goddess she can change what she looks like at will so most times she will look different every few days even if it is only her eye color. Usually she will wear battle armor to keep herself safe when she knows that the hunt is on and always carries a bow and arrow no matter where she goes as to be ready in case any danger comes her way. The time that she spends as a child has been what is mostly written in legends along with the news of her hunt.
When needed though she can become a adult in which she is encased in battle amour once again. In this form she appears in her twenties at the latest and can be about 20 feet tall are larger when need be. It is in this form when she can also be her most dangerous as she can instantly go into her true form. Which when seen would turn any mortal to ashes depending on the mortal. She does not go into this form often unless she has no other choice and the original form is not strong enough to handle what danger may lie ahead for her and her hunters. In this form her hair comes down and instead of being tied back it usually flows freely behind her when as soon as she assumes it. Though she uses a bow and arrow always a sword has been seen once or twice when needed. In this form Artemis is at her strongest and is not someone that has to be trifled with.
Personality:: Artemis can be one of the more interesting gods as she spends most of her time among mortals. The hunters are those that she holds the closest and will do anything for them. When you come into the hunters she sees you as one of her own and has shown that she does love each and every one of them no matter how long or short their stay she does her best to become close to her hunters weather they would be mortal, demigod or otherwise she does what she can to reach out to everyone and take them under her wing. She has a kindness that only they may see and can have rarely seen relaxing and enjoying in them. As they learn from her she learns from them as well. As such she has formed the closest bonds with mortals even if they are of her own way immortal like her. While she does not allow it to be shown when she loses a hunter she usually is sad and hurt but knows that sooner or later so she does not hold them back and leaves with the hunters knowing that the girls path with her is done.
Like most gods she has times when she can be stubburn and set in her ways. When she is among her hunters she knows when to enjoy the time and when to take things seriously which is usually when they are on a hunt. The others that she feels the closest to would be the other gods who she respects and cares for as they are her blood family. The one…gender she cannot stand is a male and the fact that she sees them as only wanting one thing has made her pledge that she would never be with a man and has made each hunter to do the same for as long as possible. It is this oath that defines her as a goddess as she has kept her vow for as long as she has been alive and will never end it…wishing instead to always remain a virgin and unmarried she has no problem in never having blood children as the hunters are her children in a way and she knows she loves them more then any other god or goddess loves their own.
Family:: Zeus and Leto (parents) Apollo (brother) other gods aunts/uncles
History::Artemis was born just minutes before Apollo the two being twins of a Titan Goddess named Leo. The twins were gods and quickly ascended to Olympus where it was in Greece at the time. As Artemis grew older she would be the apple of Zeus eye and when a wish for a bow to hunt and that he would swear on the river stix that she would never be forced to marry. She quickly would fall in love with hunting and when she was able she would be one of the greatest hunters of all time she would be known by many names. Even taking the job when Selena faded out and she would soon rise the moon every night. As time went she would also become known as Diana a mar war like goddess then she was due to the Romans taking the gods names but even then as time passed she would grow and start her hunters which were in a way her children. She would quickly bond with them as time passed and even as some came and went she would always love each one in one way or another.
As time passed she would move with the gods every few hundted years as it moved. Over time though one thing that would stay the same was her love for the hunt. As she and her hunters would grow she felt motherly to them and most became her children. Slowly she had begin to learn from them slowly. Unlike many of the gods she would spend the most time among mortals and demigods even giving mortals the gift of immortality she would be the most welcoming of the gods even allowing them into her home and Cabin when they were at camp. Serious and strict she would expect nothing less then perfection from her hunters and works with them until she is pleased at how well they handle things.
Recently the gods have been in New York and she has been around there every once in awhile finding it interesting at times but is usually on the move. Since they have been there she has lost a few hunters one of which hit her the most Zoë Nightshade who was lost in a battle with the titan Atlas who was a hunter that she had spent two thousand years with and had come to respect as much as anyone else that she may know. Feeling helpless as she was forced to hold up the sky she watched in horror as she realized how helpless that she was feeling at that point. Even though she would be freed of the burdon after a demigod took the task and was able to beat back Atlas with help it was to late to save Zoe who lay dying in her arms. She had such love for her hunter that when she died she would make a constalation of her in the sky in her honor. At a loss on how to find a new right hand girl she would be surprised when a demigod would step up named Thalia and she would soon be the 2nd in command of her hunters. After this the war would pick up and she would find herself away more and more from her hunters lead by Thalia would grow more and more as time passed but would also lose a few...some that she would never get the chance to know and that would be her biggest regret.
As the war became harder the gods would all have to charge into battle. In a huge battle that would take weeks the Gods saw their thrones in trouble she would be one of the ones that argued that they needed to defend their sources of power but Zeus made them stay. When the battle was over she would return to Olympus and find that the teens of Camp Half Blood and her Hunters had saved everything. She had never been more proud of not just her hunters but also the Campers and now she holds every war hero in the highest regaurd and they have her resect.
Artemis would come across Phobes and the two would argue over how she saw him as a coward and useless. She would get a taste of his power which tortured her for a few moments and that image has never faded she now is detremed to help the hunters stay alive.
Name/Nickname:: Ryan
Roleplaying Experience:: 10 years
Sample RP:: Artemis frowned as she walked towards the monster already down as she cocked an arrow and watched it struggle. One simple shot and it would be over, but instead she shook her head and watched the newest hunter. “Do it,” she said and patted her on the shoulder. She had been with them two weeks and Artemis had kept an eye on her a daughter of Aphrodite that she had come across and taken in as one of her own. The girl had proved herself a hard worker and she watched as the girl took the shot and ended the monsters life and smiled at her as the others came around and joined their comrad she gave her room and watched them after a few moments she joined them as the group celebrated and nodded to Thalia before she went to her tent and sat down. She knew that she could go back to Olympus but she preferred being with her hunters where she belonged. Laying back she relaxed and closed her eyes.
She had never needed sleep as she listened to the sounds outside until the hunters turned in for the night she heard Thalia asking for enterence and smiled “come in my dear” she said simply. Watching as her lieutenant came inside “Hello my dear I hope that you had fun” she could see the smile tug at the sides of Thalia’s mouth and knew that she had. Shaking her head she paused “Tash is doing well I was proud of how she handled herself tonight” she admitted. The newest addition was proving to be good as she smiled “come sit down dear we have some planning to do on where we should go next…I know you wish to see your friends again” she had cared about Thalia since she had joined the hunt she was the reason that they had grown so much over the past few years was because of her hard work that had made the group the largest that she had ever had under her wing “so what do you think we should do? We have been on the move a few months and maybe a break would be good for everyone and Tash could see what the camp is like” she had nothing against the camp as it had its uses though she wished that she could have done more recruiting there then she had done in the past. Taking a breath she watched Thalia her eyes curious as to hear what her answer would be.
