Artemis (Diana)

Profile

Artemis, Apollo's twin sister, is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, female fertility, and the moon. She's also a sworn virgin and a fierce protector of young girls. Though Artemis can be kind to us mortals, she does have a temper. Peeping Toms and Romeos beware: this goddess carries a hunting bow and she knows how to use it.
