**Celena McKracken** (née **Katsaros Lambrini**; born February 1, 1988), better known by the ring name **Artemis**, is a Grecian professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist. She is best known for her work in ARMBAR Wrestling.

## Early life

Lambrini was born in Psychiko, Athens, Greece on February 1, 1988. Her father Damian Katsaros Lambrini was an ambassador to Greece, while her mother Sophia Lambrini was CEO of Lyncon Systems. For many years, Lambrini’s family lived a very nomadic lifestyle, moving country to country on various business trips. By the time Lambrini reached secondary school, she intended to study law political science and follow in her father’s footsteps.

Whilst attending college, her father was assassinated. Her mother fled the country "for her own safety", and Lambrini was left under the care of her grandparents. Losing both of her parents left Lambrini "feeling incredibly frustrated", which then lead her to take lessons in jiu-jitsu. After finishing college, Lambrini attended the {University of Edinburgh. There, she would attend several wrestling events hosted by local promotions. Her interest in both mixed martial arts and professional wrestling grew, and once she finished her studies at university, Lambrini traveled to Singapore. She trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the Sete Venenos MMA Training Academy under Akiro Soma.

## Professional wrestling career

After completing her training at Sete Venenos, Lambrini's mentor Akiro Soma urged her to become a professional mixed martial artist. Lambrini would decline the offer, and would instead pursue a career in pro wrestling.

Lambrini would make her in-ring debut in April 2011, performing under her given name and defeating Yuzuki Iwatani via submission.
