## Powers & Abilities

* **Olympian Goddess Physiology:** As a daughter of Olympian Zeus & the Titaness Leto, Artemis is an extremely powerful goddess. Due to her considerable influence & followers, she bears a greater level of worship than most of the Olympians, contributing to her powers greatly. The elder Olympians (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter & Hestia) are the only gods who surpass her. She is equal to Apollo & rivaled by Athena.
	+ ***Immortality*:** Daimons are immortal & can live forever. They do not age like humans & are unaffected by time or succumbing to mortal frailty as sickness or impotence of any kind.
	+ ***Superhuman Agility***
	+ ***Superhuman Durability***
	+ ***Superhuman Senses***: Daimons' senses are enhanced to immense superhuman levels, allowing them to perceive the world in far greater detail than the senses the average human possesses. As the God of the Moon & Hunt, she is able to see almost anything & anywhere in the dark.
	+ ***Superhuman Speed***
	+ ***Superhuman Strength*:** Daimons possess incredible physical prowess.
	+ ***Transfiguration*:** Olympians possess the ability to shapeshift & to transfigure others. Artemis can transform ordinary objects & creatures into things associated with hunting. She can transform them into groups of stars once they have died.
* **Divine Abilities**
	+ ***Council of Twelve*:** Artemis is a member of the Council of Twelve, making her one of the twelve major deities of the pantheon. Every summer & winter solstice, they hold an official meeting to discuss the state of their pantheon.
	+ ***Goddess of the Hunt*:** Artemis is an unrivaled master of hunting & tracking, having the same advanced hunting powers her hunters have, but extremely increased. She can help heroes more directly since wild animals and monsters are in her domain. She has amazing agility & impeccable expertise at using long hunting knives in close combat.
	+ ***Goddess of Wilderness*:** Artemis has divine authority & absolute control over the forests, including its inhabitants & surroundings. She has authority over wild animals, primarily over wolves, hawks & stags, and can communicate with them. She can replenish the animals she kills, thus balancing the fauna. Artemis has absolute control over the elements surrounding her domain, though to a lesser extent than her father. She can control & manipulate air. She can halt the wind at least in the immediate vicinity of the Hunt, even in a snowy day. Although she isn't quite as powerful in this regard as her aunt Demeter or Dionysus, she has control over the plants over any forest & its surroundings. She controls every aspect from its trees to the ground.
	+ ***Goddess of Archery*:** Artemis is an extremely skilled archer only rivaled by Apollo. She inherited her skill from her mother. Her arrows strike her target no matter how far they are, though it might be magic. Her aim was so incredibly precise & fast that she was able to split the Manticore's spikes mid-air with her arrows*.*
	+ ***Goddess of the Moon*:** Artemis has absolute control & divine authority over the moon. She can shoot lasers of concentrated moonlight & travel through waves of light (which can blind people)/
	+ ***Goddess of Maidenhood***
		- ***Artemis' Blessing*:** As the Goddess of Hunting & Maidenhood, Artemis is capable of granting eternal youth, immunity to illness, enhanced hunting skills & superhuman physical abilities greater than that of a demigod. Should her chosens break their vow, she can strip them of their powers.
	+ ***Goddess of Childbirth*:** Artemis has absolute control & divine authority over reproduction. She helped her mother's delivery of Apollo as soon as she was born.
* **Hand to Hand Combat:** Artemis is shown to be extremely formidable in battle. She has defeated powerful giants, was trusted by Zeus to kill any powerful monsters & held her own & ultimately prevailed against a stronger Titan.
* **Tactical Analysis:** Although not on par with Athena, she is very tactical in combat. She effectively utilizes certain advantages that she possesses against enemies, such as running fast between Otis & Ephialtes to change their target & transforming into a number of animals to elude Atlas.
