Artemis of Bana-Mighdall

Artemis, a rebellious Amazon hailing from Bana-Mighdall and an ally of Wonder Woman, embarked on an expedition. Along her journey, she forged an alliance with Red Hood and Bizarro, combining strengths to overcome Black Mask. United in their cause, they vowed support for Artemis's mission, earning renown as the Outlaws.
==History==
Early Life Like most modern Bana-Mighdall, Artemis was not born an Amazon. She was born in America, the daughter of two soldiers, who instilled in her the importance of a life of serving and protecting others. After they shipped out, Artemis lived with her grandmother. They eventually died in the line of duty, and after her grandmother's death, Artemis found her way to the Bana-Mighdall, becoming a member of the Amazonian splinter nation.
From a young age, Artemis was told that she would become an unrivaled warrior, and one day become Queen of the Amazons. One day, she arrogantly tried to claim the most powerful weapon given to the Bana by the Egyptian Gods: the Bow of Ra. However, the weapon rejected her, and the goddess Nephthys appeared and confirmed that Artemis was not ready to wield it.
In her youth, Artemis dreamt of becoming the Shim'Tar, the champion of her people. Despite not believing the endeavor entirely realistic, her best friend and former lover Akila served as her training partner. One day, Artemis noticed Akila had gone missing. She spent several weeks searching to no avail until Akila was teleported back from the residence of the gods. After nursing Akila back to health, she learned that Akila was summoned by the gods and officially made the Shim'Tar.
Heroic Career At some point after the Death of Superman, Artemis left the Bana-Mighdall, and wearing a white-and-green costume, joined the Justice League alongside other new members like Zauriel, Huntress, and Connor Hawke. During this period, Artemis came to befriend Cassandra Sandsmark, the protege of the legendary Wonder Woman. Eventually, however, she returned to the Bana.
Bana-Mighdall Under Siege One night, Artemis noticed Bana-Mighdall under attack and rushed back to help. It turned out that the nation of Qurac, who had been trying to expel the Bana from their home, managed to penetrate the magical sandstorm protecting them. When she reached the city she saw Akila carrying the Bow of Ra and and Wonder Woman, had come to stop the fight between the Quraci and the Bana.
Seeing the embodiment of everything she wanted to be in front of her, Artemis attacked Diana in a fit of jealousy. Diana stopped her and explained that she came to help the Bana until Akila used the bow to take out the Quraci and her own sisters. Artemis was still skeptical until Akila began preaching about protecting their home by using Ra's power to destroy it. Diana explained that the Bow's power had consumed her friend and offered Artemis a choice: side with what's left of Akila or help her end her madness. Artemis sided with Diana, but they could not get through to Akila, so they were forced to kill her. In her last moments, Akila apologized for everything and told Artemis that she was the real Shim'Tar all along. The Bow went missing, so Artemis and Diana assumed the gods had taken it away. However, Artemis later learned that the Bow was stolen from its resting place, and dedicated herself to finding it.
==Outlaws==
Artemis, determined to recover the Bow of Ra, traced a lead to Black Mask's activities in Gotham City. Partnering unwittingly with Red Hood, she clashed with him initially before realizing they both pursued the same goal. However, their search led to the discovery of a Superman clone instead of the sought-after bow. Captured by Black Mask, Artemis chose imprisonment to monitor the clone and gather information.
Red Hood, acknowledging the clone as a potential ally named Bizarro, endeavored to reach him. Artemis initially resisted involvement but ultimately joined forces to restrain Bizarro's berserk tendencies. Learning about the Bow's sale to someone in Qurac, Artemis's pursuit was thwarted. Despite their setbacks, they prevented Black Mask from killing Bizarro, setting them on a new path.
In their encounters, Artemis struggled with Bizarro's unpredictability and potential danger. Their quest for the Bow of Ra pushed them to Qurac, where Artemis recognized the destructive power unleashed by the bow. She confronted her revived friend Akila, only to learn of Akila's manipulation and deception. Engaged in a fierce battle, Artemis reluctantly wielded the Bow to defeat Akila, leading to a tragic sacrifice to save innocent lives.
Resolving the conflict left Artemis pondering her purpose. She found direction in aiding the reformation of Bana-Mighdall and its unity with Qurac's refugees. However, her quest wasn't over as she kept the Bow of Ra while her companions, Red Hood and Bizarro, stood by her side. They formed the new Outlaws, pledging support for Artemis's mission while tackling new challenges.
Later engagements involved rescuing Atalanta, combating the forces threatening Bana-Mighdall, and facing the deceptive schemes of Queen Faruka and Rustam. Artemis confronted dilemmas of trust, loyalty, and the impact of external influences on her Amazonian identity. Her journey led her to embrace her role in guiding her people and making difficult decisions for their future.
Encounters with Yara Flor and revelations about looming threats and prophecies stirred Artemis's commitment to her Amazonian heritage and the protection of her homeland. She grappled with the responsibility of guarding the Dooms Doorway and the potential consequences of entering the Trial of the Amazons, ultimately choosing to align herself with the larger Amazonian cause beyond her immediate quest for the Bow of Ra.
