**Artemis Hemlock** (/ˈɑːrtemɪs ˈhemlɒk/; Anendika: Άρτεμις Κγέμλοκ) is a young girl, friend of Frisk, who lives in Athens. Originally born in Los Angeles, California, she was brought to Athens by her mother, who is currently only known as "Atara", when she was five. Shortly after arriving in Athens, Amelia was born, and Atara died soon after. With nothing but the katana her mother gave her shortly before passing, Artemis managed to hold firmly to the strings of life as she worked hard to provide for herself and her baby sister.

## Biography

### Early life

Born in Los Angeles on March 6, 2004, Artemis found herself without a father. She swiftly found herself orphaned and homeless in mid-2009 after Atara swept herself and her daughter off to Athens, where she gave birth to Amelia and died sometime later. Before Atara died, she made her daughter swear that she would keep herself and her newly-born sister safe at all costs. After making her swear this, Atara handed her katana—Huzntadmir—to her.

With her mother gone, Artemis was unknowingly provided with required survival knowledge from and unknowingly guided by the consciousness implanted within Huzntadmir. Armed with this knowledge, Artemis managed to survive, and even thrive to a degree, within the degraded streets of Athens; no thanks to the local law enforcement or the various gangsters that plagued the alleys.

In W6:2014, Artemis met another orphaned child on the Athenean streets named Frisk Anendotos. At first, Frisk acted distant, as if he didn't want to get acquainted with her.[citation needed] After learning of Artemis's plight with Amelia however, his tune changed, and he began helping her, teaching her the necessary wilderness survival skills that would help her survive within the surrounding South Hellenes Forest, his end-goals being that Artemis would flee the decadent city of Athens with Amelia and survive in the comparatively much safer wilderness beyond. She eventually followed through with this plan on the night of September 18, 2015 (with the exception of W193), fleeing into the South Hellenes Forest.

## Profile

### Equipment

* Grey scrap-cloth jacket
* White Kitsune Mask
* Huzntadmir

### Personality

Artemis is extremely overprotective of Amelia, never taking her eyes off her for more than three minutes and always making sure she can defend herself when Artemis leaves. She is also particularly brave, standing up to people far bigger than her. Plus, she is a thief, as she steals to get the essentials she and Amelia need. She isn't too smart, due to the fact she was orphaned at age five, so she has little knowledge beyond that of an average first-grader, and a lesser reading skill. Despite this, however, she appears to be naturally adept at survival skills.

## Trivia

* Oddly enough, she can get drunk off of root beer.
* She has a crush on Frisk.
* She loves the full moon.[citation needed]
* She dislikes the new moon.
* The alias "Moon" was the name given to her by the Athens police for her sword being "as silver as the full moon."[citation needed]
