Biography:Artemis was born into an ancient arctic fox clan. Her mother was a priestest, not of royal blood, but loyal to duty. One night a powerful fox god caught site of her practiceing her ritual dance in the moon light and he fell in love. He wooed her and bed her. Soon Artemis was born and so named because of the night her mother met her father the moon was full and Artemis is the godess of the moon. Sadly her mothers loyalty was questioned and she was shunned by her own clan for they didn't believe her mothers story. They were forced into servitude and lived meager lives, Artemis was only about 3.
A few years past, Artemis, who had by now been mostly refered to as the girl by most in her clan, was now about 6. Her mother knew she was a special girl and aimed to teach her the arts she had learned as a priestest, the art of dance, the ability to use her own kitsune magic, and the art of defence. Often times her mother was astounded on how quickly her daughter picked up on a skill, and entrusted her with the only thing she had managed to keep from her banishment from the temple. The Lotus blade, the sword her father had left with her mother the night she was concieved. Her mother had managed to hide it from the others in the village for years and on her 7th birthday her mother gave it to her.
But tragedy struck that night the village was attacked by raiders, blood thirst hunters looking to kill the clan for thier skins. To Artemis and her mothers advantage one of the raiders though he would make better money on them as slaves then as skins and he tied them up and took them away with his cohorts. Days later they were sold into slavery in a land they had never seen.
Mother and daughter managed to be sold to the same family who used them as maids, cooks, and entertainment. Their lives were still very meager though, as the family though kitsunes were to be treated like gypsy's slightly outcast to not totally be trusted. Artemis began stealing at the age of 10, because of this. Mostly because her mother had become ill and there was never enough food, medicine or money to help them. Also during the time Artemis grew to be a rare beauty among her kind. She wasn't your typical white fox! She had sunning blue/green eyes, unlike her mother who had brown eyes, and her fur although it was white had this odd ting on her ears and tail. She often got either of two reactions when people saw her. It was either of aww or fear, mostly fear from her own kind who had also been sold into slavery, some thought of her as a bad omen.
At the age of 13 Artemis finally got caught, she had stolen from her mistress. The small gold chain would have paid for all the medicine her mother. But her mistress had grown bitter over the past years, seeing how Artemis had grown to be so beautiful and strong willed. She knew her husband had been looking at her too. That night in the rain as she was put on trail, sentenced, and beat, her mother died.
But Artemis wasn't going to go without a fight, as she was being beat, she stuggled in her shackles. She managed to throw the grown man holding her leash. Useing all her power she turned into her pure fox form and flead back to where her mother lay. Sneaking into their small room, she waited till the time was right to come out. Her mothers body lay there under a thing sheet, Artemis kneeled next to her mother, and did something she had never done in her life, she cried. She cried and silently begged her mother to come back, begged her to no leave her in this world alone. Then there was a sound like a gentle voice, like a whisper on the wind, it was her mothers voice and it was comming from the sword clutched in her mother hand. With her last dieing breath, her mother had imprinted herself in a way on the sword, so that she may guide her daughter in times of need.
Suddenly there was a sound, Artemis grabbed the sword and the old leather bag she had managed to keep from her childhood, and fled into the night. She stowed away on a ship she assumed to be heading for the indies, but she couldn't have been more wrong.
Artemis spent the next years of her life on a pirate ship, the Vixen, captained by a ruthless and yet loveing fellow Captain Mara. He himself found the kitsune girl sleeping on deck behind some barrels of whisky, which apparently she had gotten into, for she reeked of the drink. His first instinck was to throw her into the sea and let her drown. But upon looking closer out of his own slight drunken morning stupor, he realized she was a fox, a rare find and good luck. He woke her with a sword to the neck and demanded that she either become a member of the crew or be skewered and fed to the sharks. Artemis joined the crew.
Artemis worked hard for years on the ship, working her way by hook and by crook to the place she holds now, second in command. A master with her sword and her newly aquired daggers, she is not one to be crossed on the sea or on the land. She has become a powerful woman, physically and mentally. She has knowlege of the seas, of weaponry, and of illusion. She has become her captains trump card, his spy, and his most loyal friend. Currently they are sailing to a new port looking for info on a specail treasure only Artemis and the captain know the true details about the island they seek, but unknown to them their is about to be an upriseing on the ship, and the crew plans on offing her and the captain.
This is kinda wear we could meet but it all depends on how you want to meet Artemis or whatever. If you need anymore info let me know, or sorry it was too long!
Personality: (SPARE NO DETAILS! I need to know how she acts around people she doesn't know, hates, loves, and respects, on top of that, family) Artemis is a unique person. She can be a bit stand offish at first and not really want to be serisous about things unless they interest her. She will usually poke fun and be sarcastic about things till she thinks she can trust you. Even then she might hold things back, but when she thinks you are worthy she will be very open, and I mean about everything! She likes to give out nicknames to people she likes. She is loyal to the death and holds a grudge like no other.
Likes:Booty, I mean she is a pirate, and adventure of course. Not to be too girly but she does like swag, clothes, and jewelry. Although she likes to collect swords also and books. She loves to dance, sing, and late at night she draws in a journal. Her journal has been with her since her first year of being a pirate. It contains poetry, drawings, secrets, and dreams.
Hates: People who judge her shearly on being a pirate. Slave traders. Her father for never comming back to be with her mother. Pickles and smokers.

Original Owner: Lady Artemis Kisarugi This character was not typed up by me, it was merely pasted here with the permission of the Original Owner, Lady Artemis Kisarugi. The next character to be posted up will most likely be Kalena. I'm saving the most difficult character for last, and that will be Sly Kisarugi's character.
