Appearance
Artemis is 6 foot tall, with large, rippling muscles, and medium brown skin and hazel eyes. Often, she wears her chain mail and is rarely found without her trusty battle-ax and shield.

History
Artemis was born 175 QS in Frostvir, Slake to Helena and Johnathon Mazhar. She has two younger sisters, Meghan and Morgan Mazhar. Her father and his business partner, İsa Polat, owned a small lumber business focused on artisanal furniture. After realizing he would have no sons to pass his business onto, John took Artemis on as his apprentice, where she quickly learned the trade as well as her way around a trade ship.

From an early age, Artemis found two lifelong friends, Celine Kaya, after her mother met Celine's mother at a book club, and İsa Polat son, Zaheer.

Three months before the start of the adventure, Artemis and her father were attacked by pirates off the coast of Slake, where her father was killed. She didn't return home for a month.

With the death of her father and İsa's retirement, her longtime friend Zaheer and she took over the business.

John Mazhar
Her dead father and likely the most influential person in her life. He taught her how to run a business and sail the seas. She still hasn't had time to recover from his death at the hands of pirates. First Mate Delilah Ginger found Artemis list of pirates that may have killed John sailing under the command of Admiral Sash Thorne. Her father's killer is Linwood "Silver Tooth" Wendell, but she doesn't know that yet.

Artemis saw a manifestation of her father at the Bout at the Sorority House.

Helena Mazhar
Artemis doesn't have as strong a relationship with her mother as she did her father because Helena is often away at the Frostvir capital building. Helena made sure to return home to say goodbye to her daughter prior to her leaving for Divinity before heading right back to work.

Meghan Mazhar
Meghan is Artemis's younger sister and the middle child in the family. She hopes to follow in her mother's footsteps and find her way into politics. Meghan has also adopted a pet bear, Suki, that Artemis has grown attached to.

Morgan Mazhar
Morgan is the youngest Mazhar child. She has taken up work at a bakery and is always baking for delicious treats for her friends and family. Before Artemis left for Divinity, she made a cake and a basket full of baked goods.

Suki
Suki is a brown bear and a good girl.

Zaheer Polat
Ever since they were little, Artemis and Zaheer have known each other because of their fathers being in business together. They became friends and work well together with partners, as Zaheer is a bit of a financial genius. Before leaving for Divinity, Zaheer awkwardly confessed having feelings for Artemis.

During her travels, Zaheer and Artemis exchange letters with each other.

Celine Kaya
Celine and Artemis met as young children because their mothers' were in a book club together. Although their mothers no longer speak, Celine and Artemis remain best friends. Artemis is unsure exactly what Celine does for work, but she knows that Celine makes a lot of money. On the eve of Artemis's departure from Divinity, Celine drank too much liquor and was unable to walk her to the Cavalier the next day.

Delilah Ginger
After the Cavalier was boarded by pirates from The Twin, Ms. Ginger took over command of the ship. She seemed to speak to Artemis more than any other members, and requested Artemis go to the Alchemist Frunk on the Kraken's Rest to buy a potion of alter self. While on the Kraken's Rest, Ms. Ginger found information about John Mazhar's possible killers, which she exchanged for Artemis to take the potion and impersonate Captain Albania Vayne in order to get the Cavalier into Divinity.

Whisper
After receiving their card from Tovek, Artemis struck a deal with Whisper to discover more information about the flower bud growing from shoulder. With the help of Jolie, she was able to persuade Whisper to give information on the cheap.

During the Kerfuffle in the Courtroom, Artemis made a second deal with Whisper to get her, the party, Mika, and Judge Akir to safety in exchange for one favor.

Later that night, Whisper, after implying a threat to her family, asked Artemis to kill the Anders family, which she did. Afterwards, she resolved to get vengeance on Whisper at all costs, allying with Allium.

Allium Jaziri

After being infested by the lily, Artemis began talking to the flower on her shoulder. He provided information to her, and after swearing revenge on Whisper, offered to help her take them down.

Allium has a soft spot for Artemis, having grown to understand her relationship with her father. He wants her to be useful, but won't expend too much energy on it...yet.
