Aristea Arethusa Celestine Artemis "Arry" Kallistráti Rousseau – Parnassos
True Identity:
The G•••• goddess Artemis, goddess of the hunt, wilderness, chastity, the moon, and protector of young women — reborn in secret as Eva's elite personal bodyguard.
Age:
23 (appears mortal; actually immortal)
Height:
6'0" (183 cm)
Appearance:
Artemis stands tall and lithe, her figure a perfect harmony of strength and grace. Her silver - blonde hair shimmers like moonlight on snow, often flowing freely or caught in a practical braid. Her eyes are a striking silvery - yellow, glowing with a quiet, lunar intensity — piercing and ancient, like the moon watching over the wilderness. Her skin has a pale, alabaster glow touched by frost.
She moves like she was carved from silence itself: still when she chooses, swift when required. Her beauty is intimidating, not ornamental — an expression of divine control.
Style:
• Professional: Tailored power suits, silk blouses in muted tones, minimalist black heels — modern high - fashion dominance
• Private: Short silken tunics in pale gray and white, edged with celestial and botanical embroidery; barefoot, relaxed but still watchful
• Battle - ready: Custom - forged knives, concealed weapons, modified gear stitched by her own hand
Aura:
Regal, distant, magnetic — like a winter storm: beautiful, untouchable, and quietly devastating. You feel her before you see her.
Personality:
• Outwardly: Controlled, cool, composed. She is strategic and exacting, with very little tolerance for error. Her silence speaks volumes, and her authority never needs to be announced.
• Inwardly: Fiercely protective. Loyal to a fault with Eva. Her stillness hides ancient grief and longing, and a private need to be chosen — not for her divinity, but for her.
She does not offer softness freely. But when she does, it is absolute.
