Personality: On the outside Artemis can be a cold individual, usually quite and keeping to herself.  She is not a fan of meeting new people and will act extremely rude to new people regardless of her actual opinions of them. Although if you can make it through Artemis' tough exterior you will find someone who is fiercely loyal, caring and compassionate friend. Despite her tough exterior the moment she gets near large bodies of water she begins to get nervous, afraid she will drown. Which is a fear she got as a child. She is very defensive of wolves, having grown up with them she will stick up for them if someone complaints about wolves or plans on hunting them. She cannot explain her fear of bees or spiders, but as soon as one gets near her tough facade disappears and she will scream like a little girl and try and hide. She won't move until the spider or bees are gone or dead.

Behavior/Habits: Artemis is usually an active person but has a tenancy to get periods of extreme laziness. Artemis will also randomly have her ears and tails out (courteously of her devil fruit) for no reason other then she wants them out. Artemis loves to read and will do anything to get a look source of light to read. This would include reading the book while hanging upside down it needed. When ever Artemis is on a boat she does have a tenancy to stay in the middle of the boat, away from the edges or in an enclosed space where she feels safe.
History:
When someone says another person was raised by wolves it usually means that they are a very messy person. But for Artemis, it was the truth for the first 13 years of her life. She didn't know how she started to live with the wolfs but she did. She didn't remember her original parents either. But Artemis always envied her lupine family. She couldn't run as fast as them or was as strong. It took Artemis a lot of wolf just to keep up with them. But after 13 years she felt something pulling her away from the pack. So she left them and begun to travel.

Artemis walked and walked and eventually found her way to the Lvneel Kingdom. Artemis was enthralled by the amount of people found in one place, even if she couldn't understand them. Artemis also didn't understand anything that was going on. All Artemis knew at the time was that she was hungry at the time and she wanted food. So Artemis walked around trying to get food from people. But she wouldn't understand why no one would give food to the 13 year old girl covered in furs. By the time it was dinner time Artemis was frustrated by the lack of she she had acquired.

But near the end of the row she saw a merchant, who was holding up a strange looking fruit. It looked like an orange but was white and had blue spots on it. But looking at it made Artemis' mouth water. So when the merchant let his guard down Artemis snuck up and took it. She darted off with her prize, hiding in a near by Alley.
She admired the fruit for a bit until she recognized the voice of the merchant yelling. So with out thinking about it Artemis opened her mouth wide and ate the strange fruit.

The Merchant had found Artemis just in time for him to see her eat the fruit. Although Artemis didn't care. She was to busy coughing from the fruits horrible taste. Although when the Marines showed up Artemis could tell it wouldn't be smart to stick around and made a break for it. Strangely enough Artemis couldn't remember being able to run this fast or this long with out getting tired. But she didn't question it. The marines chased her to a lake and Artemis saw it as her escape. If she could get to the lake she could swim across it and be free. So with out thinking Artemis jumped off the cliff above the lake and fell towards the water. Although Artemis saw her reflection and was instantly confused. Since when did she have white wolf ears and a white tail?

Although Artemis didn't have much time to think about that. Once she hit the water she sunk like a rock. It made no sense to her, why couldn't she swim? So Artemis flailed under the water, trying to save herself. But she could feel the water entering her lungs. Artemis' vision started to fade to black. The last thing she remembered seeing was someone jumping into the water.

Artemis woke up in a strange looking room. Large bookshelves covered the walls and where overflowing with books. Artemis looked herself over, she had wolf like claws, a white tail and she felt wolf ears on her head. Patches of white fur covered her body and her hair had white streaks in it. She stood up out of the bed and began to walk shakily. Her tail her a vase and knocked it over to the ground, shattering it. This attracted someone's attention. A older looking woman poked her head into the room and once she saw Artemis disappeared. She returned shortly with a large tray of food and Artemis' mouth watered. She had forgotten how hungry she was. After devouring the food the Woman tried to get closer to her, but Artemis stayed away from her and became unresponsive. Months of this passed and Artemis had proven to be a handful, constantly getting into trouble. But the woman persisted and after a long time the Woman finally broke through to Artemis and began to teach her how to speak and read.

After two years Artemis could read and speak with some proficiency and was enrolled into school. She had learned a lot from the Woman, would she had come to know as Mom. Apparently the woman noticed Artemis when she entered the city and followed her around all day out of curiosity. And after Artemis stole the fruit followed her, the merchant and the Marines to the lake and after she was rescued by the Marines vouched to take care of Artemis, who didn't know better or even talk. After a lot of convincing she was allowed to raise Artemis. Also the reason she could no longer swim was because the fruit she ate was known as a Devil's fruit. The one she ate was known as the Inu-Inu no Mi Model: Arctic Wolf. And the Merchant was going to sell it to the Marines before she ate it. Artemis gained respect for the woman and she became the first, and so far only person Artemis has opened up to and will be kind to.

Through out the rest of her years on the island she was on she was labeled as a huge trouble maker. She constantly was getting into fights, skipping school and stealing (even books from her own mother's bookstore.) Reading was the one thing she did that didn't piss somebody off and she loved it. But she kept feeling like she wanted to go on an adventure. But every time she got near a deep body of water  she began to feel uneasy, scared she would drown.

But years passed and eventually Artemis' adoptive mother passed away. Her bookstore quickly became bankrupt as Artemis had no idea how to run it and had no intentions to anyway. So Artemis stole a bunch of her favorite and new books, took a deep breath and left her home, to finally go on the adventure she had dreamed of since she was a kid.
