Professor Artemisia

== Academic and Professional Career ==
Artemisia built her professional career as a magical portrait painter, becoming quite well known. But fame always has its price, and for Artemisia that price was higher than most.
A wealthy client asked her to paint a portrait of himself, an obviously common request, and Artemisia scheduled a meeting. On the day of the appointment the client arrived right on time, quickly seating himself so that Artemisia could began to work. As she labored on the painting, she noticed a slight shift in the light, and looked up to see what it was. Much to her surprise, the client had changed, and seated before her was a much taller figure shrouded by magic. She tried to draw her wand in self defense but it was too late, the Dark Wizard cast a curse, trapping her in the painting. The Wizard then disappeared without a trace. Artemisia was discovered the next day in the painting, but was unable to give the investigators any clue as to the real identity of the man.
Eventually she ended up at Hogwarts, hoping to find a counter spell to lift the curse.
== Personal Life ==
Artemisia can still practice limited magic in the real world outside her painting.
She is very protective of slytherin students.
She considers herself a wallflower, almost literally.
She can travel between any paintings in Hogwarts. While in a painting she can also travel between any paintings on earth painted by the same artist.
