Fierce | Violently Defensive | Fiery Temper | Reclusive | Fiercely Defensive | Protective | Clever | Prideful | Nurturing

Artemis is a goddess who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it.

Her wild, passionate personality serves her well throughout her myths and legends. 

She is reclusive but also fiercely defensive of the maidens, pregnant women, and young.

 Artemis is the goddess of virgins, maidens, and mothers as well as of the hunt and animals.

She is willing to tolerate very little disrespect and does not hesitate to destroy any who dare cause harm to those she protects.

She possesses perfect aim with a bow, the ability to change herself and others into animals, and control disease and healing.

It is said One mortal who angered her was changed into a deer, chased down and torn to shreds by his own pack of hunting dogs.

Rumoring that she is they reason for Mutants to this day.

She has a Dislike of marriage and its accompanying loss of freedom and a lack of mercy or sympathy, especially for men

As the goddess of both fertility and virginity, Artemis is the defender and champion of young girls and women.

She was, arguably, the first feminist icon, defending the wild freedom of women and their ability to bear children.

She hated the institution of marriage and the loss of freedom for the women that accompanied it.

She was reclusive, preferring the mountains and forests to Cities, and surrounded herself with any who were bound by a vow of chastity.

It may seem ironic that she is both the goddess of virginity and childbirth,

but Artemis is a champion and defender of women in all their womanhood stages. 

She is a symbol of youth, vigor and fertility.

Artemis represents the embracing of life in all its forms and the fierce defense and passion for life.

She may be the goddess that inspired the idea of “Mother Nature,” both nurturing and protective and violently defensive.

Women paid tribute to Artemis in hopes of gaining a safe, easy, and quick childbirth.

In her hands, carrying the ability to give life, the ability to inflict change

(by transforming into animals) and control over disease makes Artemis a powerful goddess,

perhaps among the most powerful.

Artemis brings diseases such as rabies, leprosy, and even gout to punish those who displease or dishonor their followers.

Yet, she is revered as the goddess of fertility life. Such is the paradox of Artemis’ existence
