Artemis-Callie Stoeckle

Artemis is the Greek goddess of many thing, but some of the most famous things are hunting and childbirth, as well as the moon. Artemis is also a virgin goddess and doesn't accept the presence of men except few. She is almost always found in the mountains and that is why hunting game is sacrificed to her. She may seem nice but in reality she is known for her quick temper and vengful nature. Anyone who offends or dishonors Artemis be on gaurd because she is known for punishing people who do that to her. Many men have died by her hand because they have been caught staring at her or have offended her. Because of this she had also lost many friends.
