Personality: Artemis is kind of the kind of person who isn't against riches but she is more aware of its impermanence. She isn't interested in material things and doesn't run after money. She isn't greedy about anything least of all wealth. She has an easy carelessness about tomorrow. She displays the basic personality of going against the flow. She doesn't go where life takes her she fights against it all the way. She is truly happy and satisfied with her life and she has reached some of the highest echelons of success. She has loads of charm and an easy going attitude. She isn't bothered by restrictions as long as she can dream and live her own life. She isn't at all stimulated by radical opinions and insults don't make her agitated. She has very few things that compel her to lose her temper. When she does get angry it is better to just stay away.
Artemis can give the most sarcastic comments, be extremely rude and lash you with a scathing tongue. The best part though is that her anger seldom lasts long and she'll be her normal placid self again. She sees the world through rose colored spectacles and she lives in a world of her own even when she is completely aware of the rough side of humanity. In her world everything is good and everything is beautiful. She has a sharp memory though and will remember the minutest of details.
She has a soothing stability and even in the worst situations she never panics and maintains her poise. She has good intuition and if she tells you not to go out of the house on a particular day it is better to stay in doors. She is a great organizer and pays attention to details, has a fair and detached judgment, is sympathetic and moody, loves people and attention and is analytical. She also talks quickly and expertly, is passive yet stubborn, can know your deepest secrets shows dedication to duty and overflows with optimism innocence and zeal.
She likes to argue, loves nature and holds fiece ambitions. She is deeply interested in art and music. She has great wisdom and compassion for the weak. She loves to help people in distress and utilizes most of her energy doing this only. She hides her deepest emotions behind a veil of humor and you'll never know if she is profoundly hurt. When she does this the human can be warm and innocent or cold and ruthless how ever it is always sure to be a mask for some emotion.
Laughter is Artemis' best cover and she uses it wisely. She has compassion for the sick and even tries to understand the feelings of the lonely. Even those who are weak by choic will get her shoulder to cry on. She never judges people and just accepts them just as they are. She knows all of your vices and virtues and understands them and will be there if you need her. Artemis wants to help everyone and still most people fail to understand her sensitivity. She asorbs both positive and negative vibrations that are around her.
History: Born in December of 1710 Artemis and her twin brother Apollo were the youngest of seven kids. All of the children being named after Greek gods whom their parents worshiped secretly. The Irish born family had girls that looked like they were Irish with the red hair and blue eyes. Artemis was a bit of a wild child in her youth but soon grew out of it only having shinanigans with her brother Apollo from time to time. When she was three she knew that Queen Anne's War ended, by the time she was six Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz, German philospher, courtier, diplomat lawyer and librarian dies. The first theater was built. She was seven when mother goose appears in print for the first time. By the time she was thirteen Benjamin Franklin left Boston for Philadelphia.
When she was seventeen she met a man who worked at the theater that was passing through and he offered her a position. She took it not wanting to marry the man that he parents had chosen for her. She went with the young man, Andre, and he turned her into a vampire. She didn't know what to do because he just leaves her to fend for herself. She went back home to her family who she killed being starving the only one who survived was her brother who Andre also found and made into a vampire as well. Andre helped nurture the two young vampires after that until they were old enough to fend for themselves.
In 1750 Artemis was sick of England and Ireland and Europe all together and she booked herself passage to the Americas saying that she was a mail order bride for a young man in the Americas. She got onto the boat that was blessedly free of rats because of her. She mostly kept to herself in a bunk with her coffin so that she could sleep during the day light hours. When she finally reached the americas she got off of the ship with no money and no way of knowing what to do. She travelled around feeding and taking things from people that she fed from so she could survive with as few questions as humanly possible. She kind of watched the world go past her as she travelled. She never made another vampire for her own companion and her brother never came to join her in the United States as they were starting to call them.
She was just kind of seeing things happen and taking them in. She eventually found a small coven of vampires who took her in from 1800-1899. She found that she didn't enjoy taking human life as much as they did though but remained with them simply because it was convienient for her to do so. She didn't have any papers or anything. She soon figured out how to forge her own papers of living and dying and everything like that.
Growing bored of the United States she made the decision to travel back to Europe. She spends 1900-1950 in Europe travelling around trying to find her twin and just kind of make herself something different from other vampires around her. She wanted to leave during WWII but couldn't due to the fact that she had to stay hidden because of her families religious background that she hadn't followed in years though. She found herself trying to ghost her way through world war two. Seeing up close the effects the war had on people in concentration camps and how the people around her behaved about the people in concentration camps. She just hated watching it. When the war finally ended she stayed in Europe for five more years to help people recover from the war but always secretly and never publicly.
Going back to the United states in the fifties she came back to a different world that was looking to get things like civil rights for blacks and other races. She was kind of highly involved with the movement but once again in the background never anywhere where her picture would end up in anything she just wanted to help she didn't want to be seen by other people who were going to tell her what to do and have her be in the pictures and things.
In 1960 she saw her twin brother again but never spoke to him just letting him move on with his life as she had hers. She finally found the closure she wanted for her brother and then just let things go from there. She joined up at the school when they came and asked her if she wanted to be part of the school for vampires and humans. She met James there and started to fall for him but isn't really sure how to talk to him.
