I am Artemis, the goddess of hunting, forest and the moon. I am the daughter of the great Olympian Zeus and Leto. I was born on the island of Ortygia. I have a twin brother Apollo, I was born one day before him and helped my mother deliver him. When I was three I asked my father to grant me eternal virginity in which I am one of the three virgin goddesses. I've had many companions that were virgins but I never married. I am known as a guardian to all women and I assist in childbirth and also bring fertility to all places that worship me. I love hunting and spend most of my days out in wild surroundings such as meadows and forests. I can be very possessive at times and be mean to those who disobeyed my wishes especially against my animals. I am very protective of my mother and once killed all of the children of Niobe with my brother because she insulted her. A nickname people call me is "Potnia Theron" (mistress of wild animals). My symbol is a bow & the pike. My tree is cedar and my sacred animals are the snake and bear.
