Bio
Name: Artemis Winters
Gender: Female
Age: 17 years
Relationship Status: Unmarried
Appearance:
((Because Tektek is awesome for that))
Artemis has very unusual hair for her age, it's the color of snow with silver highlights. She tends to keep it in a loose unkempt braid that hits her a little longer than mid-back - she has no one else so she does it herself. Her dark cloudy grey eyes further set her apart from the people of her village. Sadly, she was born with extremely poor vision - her vision is as if she is peering out in a snowy blizzard. She can see shapes but very little detail. Her skin is also very pale, but that is mostly attributed to her staying indoors away from the other villagers. Her build is thin and small almost scrawny, she's very under-developed for her age. She is self-conscious of her body and is always dressed in layers to cover herself up. Since losing her father, she only dresses in bland colors; white, grey and black.
Personality:
Keywords: Withdrawn, Melancholy, Soft-spoken, Socially Awkward
Due to her upbringing, Artemis is a closed off individual. She finds great difficulty in interacting with people in general, and tends to avert her gaze when speaking to someone in town. She is quiet and keeps to herself, usually indoors studying some scripture or book.
History:
Her mother died during labor with Artemis. It was only thanks to the midwife that she survived the ordeal at all but it had left a permanent mark on Artemis' future. She was not a healthy infant, and the midwife warned her father that she may not survive the night. But she did survive, and she continued to thrive despite her obvious hindrances (her nearly blind vision, weak immune system, and frail body).
Her father took special care in raising her despite the grief at losing his wife. He sheltered her for all of her childhood, and only allowed her outside in his company. It wasn't until she was fifteen that he finally let her travel to the shops on her own. Mostly because of his own failing health. Artemis would spend the next two years caring for him in their small home before he finally passed. There was nothing that anyone could have done.
Despite her father's well-meaning intentions in how he raised her, one good thing did come of her solitude - Artemis became well educated. She remains vigilant in her studies in honor of her father.
Present/Plot Ideas:
Artemis is in danger of losing her father's house if she can't cover the back taxes. No one in the town is hiring, and she's about to give up until a wealthy traveling merchant offers her a mysterious position. She's inclined to take it and almost accepts until she faints. The sudden black fills with a rolling charcoal fog and she sees a brief image emerge through the dark mists of the forest and "feels" an urge in the depths of her to run...to run deep into the forest...
(OOC: Once she meets her Familiar in the Forest, she must be in close contact of her familiar for her to have these spontaneous glimpses of the future - generally just one single image. Perhaps she'll then become the town's "seer/clairvoyant". And find her a mentor that can teach her the ways of being an apothecary, which can help supplement her new-found income.))
