Hello, I am Artemis, the goddess of wild things, the moon, hunts, the natural environment, and the protector of young woman. I have a twin brother named Apollo. He is the god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Our mother is Leto, a titan. Hera, Zeus' wife, is a very jealous woman.

I, however, snatched her away and transported her to the Tauroi, making her immortal, and put a stag in place of the girl upon the altar. People always ask me why I hate men, and this is one of the reasons. They’re so self centered and they think that they are the best at everything. I just can’t stand
