Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt, nature, and wild animals. She is the twin sister of Apollo, as well as being synonymous with the moon, making her and her brother the moon and sun respectively. She is seen as the protector of young girls, as well as being the goddess of midwifery and childbirth, with the interesting wrinkle that Artemis tended to act quite aloof when it came to sexuality and romance in myths (in comparison to the other Greek gods, which... Well, you know.)

Despite these largely benevolent traits, she is often portrayed as cold, calculating, and spiteful. It is because of this that she is considered true neutral, with many Greek myths detailing her numerous spats with her brother, as well as various mortals.

Her worshipers are typically rangers and druids, and almost always female. Artemis is one of the few gods to never bear any young, and is almost always portrayed as a virgin. This is purely by her own choice however, in stark contrast to most fa/tg/uys.
