## Family

### Zeus

**Zeus**: Artemis's father.
She strives to be an obedient daughter, going so far as to make a grand presentation for him, even though long speeches are not her strong suit. However, Zeus often responds with indirect criticisms, suggesting that he may not fully understand her. At the same time, Artemis feels that her father likes to invade her personal space and constantly leaving her red-faced in front of Zagreus with embarrassing paternal comments.

### Apollo

**Apollo**: Artemis's twin brother.
Their relationship is currently unknown.

### Athena

**Athena**: Artemis's half-sister.
Artemis comments to Zagreus that she's never sure if Athena is showing off or trying to prove something. Athena retorts, commenting that such interactions between the two are not uncommon for sisters; "and what is a perfect family without routine fights?"

### Aphrodite

**Aphrodite**: The Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Artemis finds Aphrodite invasive, and Aphrodite knows that Artemis isn't honest with her feelings, and may also tease her for being nervous in Zagreus' presence, and joke that it's a passion. Though even Aphrodite acknowledges that this could also be due to her frequent night outings. She can be quite a hypocrite, claiming that Artemis is so focused on the hunt that she has forgotten to acquire "social graces". Artemis retorts that walking around naked is hardly a show of social graces.

### Ares

**Ares**: Artemis's half-brother.
In his Duo Benefit with Artemis, he is happy to try to work together, as he considers Hunting and War quite similar domains. Artemis finds his older half-brother's comments chilling, cringes and does not share the same feelings.

### Demeter

**Demeter**: Artemis's foster aunt.
Though they share similar views of Athena, they don't have the same assessment of mortals, Artemis complains how the snowy weather is making their hunts difficult. Demeter warns that humans are resourceful and deceitful and will find another way.

### Dionysus

**Dionysus**: Artemis's half-brother.
He regards Artemis as a kind of hermit. Dionysus has tried more than once to include her in his usual feasts and revelries, but she cannot stand the noise. She disapproves of Dionysus' inconsequential lifestyle. In her dialogues with Zagreus, she warns him not to get involved with her partying half-brother.

### Hermes

**Hermes**: Artemis's half-brother.
She usually turns her back on him, not out of disdain, but because she is quiet and he is very talkative. Hermes considers Artemis a very cool distant big sister and comments on how skilled Artemis is, although he is faster, she is still very fast.

### Poseidon

**Poseidon**: Artemis's uncle.
Artemis seems to have a low opinion on her uncle, dodging him as much as she can, insulting him by calling him a big fat oaf, and wondering as to who is worst; him or her father Zeus. Because of this, she has been told to be more respectful around her uncle something that she considers to be hard. Poseidon in turn, considers Artemis to be too stiff, unabled to take a simple jest and that her sour looks makes it harder for her to attract a potential mate.

## Friends

### Callisto

**Callisto**: Artemis's best friend.
Although Callisto does not appear in Hades, she is mentioned by Artemis many times. She will begin telling Zagreus stories of her adventures with Callisto, the forest nymph who can mysteriously transform into a bear. Artemis notes that she considers Callisto and the other nymphs her closest friends. Later, Artemis also tells Callisto about Zagreus' adventure. Eurydice points out that nymphs are often treated as lesser deities, so the fact that Artemis treats them as equals is quite telling for a goddess of high status.

### Zagreus

**Zagreus**: Artemis's cousin.
In her relationship with Zagreus, she is the only one who refrains from using affectionate terms, addressing him solely by his name. He may perceive her as a distant role model, although deep down she experiences considerable nervousness and uncertainty in his presence. Artemis doesn't hesitate to reprimand him whenever he engages in actions that she disapproves of, such as succumbing to Dionysus' influence. However, if Zagreus manages to cultivate a stronger bond with her, she will reluctantly acknowledge, with a touch of disdain, that he holds a place among her closest confidants, although not a priority to her.

### Hades

**Hades**: Artemis's uncle.
Even though Artemis doesn't spend as much time away from her Olympian relatives as her equally solitary uncle, it is also asserted that Hades approves of Artemis, as she doesn't care about being praised and is dedicated to her work, much like he is.

## Underworld Residents

### Achilles

**Achilles**: The famed warrior hero of the Trojan War.
Artemis is a huge fan-girl of Achilles, she admires his combat style and will recognize the Aspect of Achilles and will talk excited about how many mortals have been "completely slaughtered" by him, and will ask Zagreus to pass on his regards. If Zagreus comes into contact with her while using Coronacht, she will eagerly tell him to take it to Olympus so she can try it out.

### Eurydice

**Eurydice**: A nymph musician.
Eurydice is surprised by the fact that Artemis, even though she is a goddess, sees the nymphs as equals.
