Origin/God of: Greek Goddess of the Hunt, Forests and Hills, the Moon, Maidens and Archery
Appearance: Clothing:
Artemis was born of Zeus and the Leto. When Hera discovered Zeus’ infidelity, she declared that Leto would not be able to give birth on any land. Instead, Leto found an island and there, Artemis and Apollo were born. Artemis was born first and assisted her mother with the birth of her twin brother.
As a girl, Artemis was adored by Zeus and while she was sitting in his lap one day, she asked that she be granted six wishes. Of those six wishes, she asked that she may remain a virgin forever, that she may have her own followers and huntresses to accompany her, to be the lightbringer and that she would never be worshipped or declared the matron in any city. Zeus granted her all these wishes and Artemis set about preparing for her hunt. For her bow and arrow, she went to the island of Lipara where Hephaestus and the Cyclops worked. Although her companions were terrified, Artemis bravely asked for a bow and arrows. After this, she went to Pan and asked for hunting dogs.
Throughout her life, Artemis was subject to vain thoughts and was an infamously proud being. Anyone who offended her beauty or her archery skills usually met with a harsh endings. Even archer endings were reserved for those who tried to force themselves on Artemis or looked on her with desire. Actaeon, a hunting companion of Artemis, once caught her bathing naked. For this, Artemis turned him into a stag which was devoured by Actaeon’s own hunting dogs. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis
Personality: Artemis is best described as young and proud. If anyone offends either her or her family, Artemis will more than likely find a creative way to kill them. However, if her own powers don’t work out, she’s really not afraid to go crying to Zeus who will be more than happy to enact vengeance (unless it’s his wife, of course). In some ways, Artemis can be very affectionate but only towards certain individuals – she’ll often take pity on young females and pregnant mothers but to others, she’s a cold being. Artemis’ own arrogance seems to form the majority of her character but she can be fond of people who have a great ability in hunting yet remain humble.
Artemis, however, is one of the bravest Goddesses out of all the pantheon, showing very little fear in the face of massive adversary. For that reason, she can be a dreaded enemy to face, considering both her anger and her inability to miss. Artemis is a young goddess with frivolous fancies but if you piss her off enough, your story won’t end well.
Weapon(s): - The Moon Bow that Hephaestus forged for her (although, it has reduced its form to something much akin to a modern hunting bow) - A simple silver knife that doesn’t appear massively dangerous but if you let her get close to you with it, she’ll probably gut you.
@NarcissisticPotato Fun fact: The Greeks, during their occupation of Egypt, compared Bast as the Egyptian version of Artemis. It'd be interesting to see how they interact with their similar associations with hunting and pregnant women/children, but totally opposite opinions on sex.

So I'm guessing that Bast doesn't turn men who just catch her in the nude into stags? This will be interesting! :D I have a feeling they'll respect each other but annoy each other on their opinions on sex! :P
@Kaithas@Akayaofthemoon*Fades into view, putting an arm around Persephone* Sup Hal, what's the matter? Can't handle two goddess trying to corrupt the morals of another?
*Looks down at Persephone* You know, maybe we should giv lil Arty a little demonstration of what she's missing, hmmm? I promise to make it worth your while.
I'm not sure wither to be scared for the men she takes or to go in a horrible direction with it and say kinky because for some reason bondage popped in my mind for Scorn....this is so wrong >.<
