Relationship(s) with listed family member(s), if any:
Ezekiel Owen Gotia [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] - Artemisia is pretty close to the boy as the two grew up together in the same orphanage. She defended him from bullies and in exchange for her services, he just had to listen to one of her stories. The two were pretty much inseparable until the two started discovering their found family.

Although still close to one another, the two have gradually spent less time together, but  it is clear from the way Artemisia reacts to leaving him, that she still cares about the boy in her protective nature.

Personality:
A fighter at heart and reckless by nature, Artemisia is capable of taking down anyone (or anything) that stands in her path. She is one to lead, never follow as she dislikes taking orders from anyone. Essentially known by the Colonials of Criminals as their "loose cannon", she plays hard and dirty, not being the type to do things "fair."

But behind her persona, Artemis is a battered and bruised girl that only knows how to fight her way out of a conversation/situation, nothing else. Coming from a rough background, she struggles to fully communicate her thoughts, often using her hands as a way to protect herself.

It isn't until she ends up meeting Ezekiel Owen Gotia [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] that Artemisia realizes she doesn't want to fight all the same. She, like the boy, only wants a family — a place she can call home. Then after meeting Joshua Carter [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17], Artemisia will soon discover a playful and slightly more competitive side of her that she never knew.

Unfortunately at the time she met KJ Apa, Artemisia wasn't the best lover around. She often used her status as KJ's girlfriend for fame, as she struggles to see her first love as someone outside of his social status. It isn't until she starts seeing the way Odette talks about her ex that Artemisia starts realizing that she's a incredible toxic person to KJ.

As a result, Artemisia will stop fighting for KJ Apa, knowing she's not the one who will make him happy nor does she feel any kind of emotional desire to have him back. As a result, she has a better sense of knowing when to stop (a trait most people on her team lack).

By the time she developed feelings for Joshua Carter [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17], Artemisia has the emotional maturity needed to maintain a healthy relationship with her newfound love interest. She is also more open-minded to the kind of person the boy is, something she failed to do with her ex.

Power(s) and Abilities, if any:
None; as she's fully human, Artemisia does not possess any unique powers or abilities.

Weakness(es), if any:
Ezekiel Owen Gotia [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] - the boy is her weakness as she doesn't like anyone hurting him. As such, she's often the one trying to soften his punishment or do her best to shield him from the abuse of their new home.

Her instinct to fight - as much as she considers fighting to be a great way to pass the time, Artemisia doesn't think things through. In fact, her first thoughts are centered on combat as she prefers using her fists, then her words to communicate her thoughts. As a result, she isn't taken seriously on the team, despite her incredible fighting skills.

Her past - she is highly sensitive to her past and any indication of anyone using her past against her, Artemisia will strike. This is particularly why she dislikes Odette so much as she is often the one who enjoys making fun of her status as a orphan.

List of Acquired Skill(s), if any:
Street fighting - As someone who grew up on the streets before being dropped off at the orphanage, Artemisia picked up street fighting as a way to express her feelings. Over time, she grew to love the sport until she got banned from competing. However, she still possesses these skills, never hesitating to put them to good use.

Martial Arts - After being induced into the Colonials of Criminals [alongside Ezekiel, who belongs to GeekyCookie1], she was taught martial arts as a way of harnessing her raw strength. Over time, she got better and is always improving herself to outdo everyone else.

Thievery - As someone who grew up on the streets before being dropped off at the orphanage, Artemisia often stole things as a way to survive. Now out of instinct, she steals for the fun of it, only recently starting to overcome her habit of stealing things (which is hard, because she has a penchant for shiny objects).

I. "I am not a street rat, Odette, so you better watch who you're taking to. I had enough common sense to know when to stop while I was ahead. I acknowledged the fact that KJ moved on with Rosemary [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17] and I'm glad he's happier with her. It's clear that Cordelia is not interested in you, so you should just move on. Why waste your time in the past when you can look to the future? You know?"

II. "In truth, Rosemary [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17], I only competed with you to win KJ over because I thought that's what I wanted. I thought I wanted him, but I realize he's not who I want, not anymore. So, I'm calling off our rivalry for good this time. I'm done fighting a battle we both know I wouldn't win. So... yeah."

III. "Hey Josh [nickname for Joshua Carter, who belongs to Sci-Briana17] .... Are you certain you want your ex back? I mean, I know you and Rosemary [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17] dated back years ago, but don't you feel drained from constantly trying to get her back from KJ? I'm only asking, because the more I thought about trying to get KJ back, the longer I realized that I never really wanted him in the first place."

IIII. "Hey, Kai [nickname for Ezekiel Owen Gotia, who belongs to GeekyCookie1], this isn't goodbye, okay? You can always call me if you ever want to see me and since I'm on good terms with the girls now, I will see you whenever I can. I'm so happy you found your family. You're the best little brother anyone could ask for."

V. "What can I say? I'm a thief, baby. I steal from anyone and get whatever I can. It's the life I grew up in. I'm sorry, we can't all be as perfect as you."

1. Artemisia despises Odette since the love siren believes she's better than everyone else. However, her resentment towards Odette truly blossoms when the girl makes fun of Ezekiel [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] for being abandoned by his family, a moment that solidified when Artemisia punched Odette in the fact afterwards.

2. She and Ezekiel [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] grew up in the same orphanage, and took it upon herself to serve as a older sister figure to him. As a result when Artemisia saw the boy being lured into a van, she ran after him, only to get kidnapped too. Since then, her and Ezekiel [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1] became members of the Colonials of Criminals [name created by GeekyCookie1] organization (though not by choice).

3. Artemisia doesn't celebrate her birthday because it's the event forever scarred by the day she was left at the orphanage by her parents, essentially being abandoned by those she loved. It is additional why she dotes onto Ezekiel [OC belongs to GeekyCookie1], because she didn't want him to feel the same pain she experienced growing up.

4. Her and Joshua Carter [OC belongs to Sci-Briana17] are actually childhood best friends. She met him after failing to steal something his parents had owned. As a result, he agreed to keep this fact a secret, if she became his friend. As a result, the two secretly hung out together until his parents discovered her existence and banned her from ever seeing their son. Since then, she forgot all about him.... Until he began serving the Colonials of Criminals just like her.
