Artemis

Artemis is a focused, reserved and reasonable woman, but also extremely stoic and pragmatic. She doesn't frequently lose her temper and speaks calmly with others, even male demigods. She prefers the company of her followers and animals to even that of other gods, passing most of her time hunting in the wilderness. She possesses a deep caring for maidens, especially for the ones whom she presides over. Unlike her twin brother Apollo, Artemis is less "easy-going" and has a much greater understanding of mortals than most of the other Olympians, much like her half-brother Hermes. She is among the more sympathetic and selfless Olympians, weighting individuals by their actions and choices as opposed to their potential as shown when she defends Percy from the Olympian Council for saving her and putting his life on the line for them all. She doesn't discriminate when selecting girls to join her ranks, allowing mortals, demigods, and nymphs to become Hunters, including her former lieutenant Zoë Nightshade, a daughter of the Titan Atlas. However, she is known to be quite sneaky and sometimes pranks her brother. In the Hidden Oracle, Apollo mentions that on festival days Artemis tapes "kick me" signs on Apollo's toga. Although she is mostly reasonable, Artemis holds a general dislike and distrust towards men, though she has a softer side towards children and hunters. She doesn't marry or have children because she was very affected with helping her mother to give birth to her twin brother for entire days. However, she does acknowledge and respect those who prove themselves to her, including Orion, Hippolytus, and Percy. The ones that Artemis doesn't respect (and neither respect her) suffer horrible consequences. Tends to have a 'sweet spot' with some members of her 'family'. Her uncles Hades and Poseidon, her brother Apollo, and her hunters.

Appearance: Artemis is tall and possesses a well-built body. She has shoulder-length raven-black hair and striking silver-grey eyes that can easily intimidate when she is angry. Artemis is extremely beautiful and lovelier than all her attendants. In The Titan's Curse, she was portrayed as a girl of the average age of her Hunters - around twelve or thirteen. She had a face of such beauty that it made Percy catch his breath, cold and bright eyes as silvery yellow as the winter, and auburn hair gathered back in a ponytail. In The Blood of Olympus, Artemis was depicted as a young girl of the same age and dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore black leggings and a silver tunic. In The Dark Prophecy, Apollo notes that Artemis never seems to assume a form any older than twenty years old. The differences in Artemis's physical description throughout the novels could be attributed to the fact that as a goddess she has the ability to assume any shape she desired, though it must be noted that she retains her incredible beauty and grace no matter what physical manifestation she adopts.
