**Artemisia Pallas** (Japanese: **ヨモギ・パラス**, *Arutemishia Parasu*), better known as **Pallas-sama** (Japanese: **パラス様**, *Parasu-sama*), **Guardian** (Japanese: **ガーディアン**, *Gādian*), **Artemisia of Halicarnassus`s Last Surviving Descendant** (Japanese: **ハリカルナッソスの最後の生き残った子孫のアルテミシア**, *Harikarunassosu no Saigo no Ikinokotta Shison no Arutemishia*) or **Hera`s Chosen One** (Japanese: **ヘラの選んだもの**, *Hera no Eranda Mono*), is the last surviving direct descendant of the legendary demigoddess; Artemisia of Halicarnassus, who was known as the **Hero of Halicarnassus** (Japanese: **ハリカルナッソスの英雄**, *Harikarunassosu no Eiyū*) and even more so as **The Legendary Hero** (Japanese: **伝説の英雄**, *Densetsu no Eiyū*). Her younger "brother"; Anne Pallas, was similarly also a direct descendant of Artemisia of Halicarnassus but was murdered by Zeus out of hatred and rage for Hera`s infidelity with the existence of Artemisia of Halicarnassus and her descendants. This encounter with Zeus served to stoke the flames of hatred between the two, with Artemisia holding a long-running vendetta against him for murdering her younger "brother" whom was an innocent young boy; Hera was similarly enraged and incensed, developing even more of a vindictive streak against Zeus. Previously a second-year transfer student at Shiratorizawa Academy, she served in the capacity of manager to the Boys` Volleyball Team and was a honors student affiliated with the Shiratorizawa Family, who took her in as one of their wards. After high school Artemisia decided to return to her homeland, Greece, and at some point decided to travel the world with Yū Nishinoya; a Karasuno graduate. As of 2018, the two are currently in Italy, fishing in marlins. During 2021, the two of them made the decision to marry each other, with Artemisia changing her surname to that of her new husband`s. As of the current year; 2021, she and Yū are making plans to permeantly settle down in Greece. She is now known as **Artemisia Nishinoya** (Japanese: **西谷 (にしのや)  ヨモギ ()** , *Arutemishia Nishinoya*)

## History

### Early Life

Artemisia Pallas was born to an unnamed Greek immigrant of the noble House of Pallas; former rulers of the ancient city-state, Halicarnassus and an unnamed native Japanese woman. After being confirmed to be of the lineage and direct bloodline of the famed Greek demigoddess; Artemisia of Halicarnassus, she was taken to a far away temple located in Turkey, near the legendary site where her legendary ancestress once made her home and battled many enemies. As a member of the richest noble house in Greece, she often traveled the world during her earlier years. During her childhood, Artemisia was housed, raised, and educated at the residence of the current Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, alongside her younger brother, Anne Pallas, who was given a Turkish name, Üsküdar with the addition of the surname, Erdoğan. At some point, Artemisia was given the Turkish name of Zehra with the addition of the surname, Erdoğan. After some time, her younger brother, Anne, died underneath mysterious circumstances, he died as a result of having been fried to nothingness by one of Zeus's lightning bolts. Wracked with grief, Artemisia rededicates herself to praying and soon afterwards learns of the death of her parents in a car accident. Due to her comprised mental state, her adoptive parents went on a trip with her around the world, as they fulfilled their diplomatic duties.

### Year of 2008

During the year of 2008, the young Artemisia was taken to Japan, where she witnessed the diplomatic proceedings between her father (the President of Turkey) and the Minister of Japan at the time. With the permission of her adoptive parents, she explored Tokyo with her small group of bodyguards and best friend, Samira (the youngest daughter of the Arabic President). While they explored, a group of young native Japanese started to mock their appearance, with Samira being to get upset about it, when they refused to stop, Artemisia`s bodyguards intervened and intimidated them into running away. This incident made international headlines and the Japanese government was slammed for failing to stop intolerance against their resident Muslim and Turkish communities. Most notably, the Arabic President was infuriated believing that the integrity of his daughter was slandered and demanded that the young Japanese girls be punished for insulting her. Artemisia was also offended by the incident, believing that they stomped all over Samira`s feelings and honor (neither of which can be recovered by force).

### Middle School Years

As part of the attempt to improve diplomatic relations between the United States and Turkey; Artemisia would be enrolled in the American Middle School, Hope Academy, a private middle school in New Mexico. As the only transfer student, Artemisia would often be bullied for her religion (Sunni Islam), her appearance, as well as her personality. Due to these factors, Artemisia didn`t enjoy her middle school years and was often an outcast among her classmates. In order to get away from them, Artemisia went onto to graduate early and swiftly left the United States to head home to Turkey, much to the disappointment of her father.

### High School Years

In an attempt to keep her closer to her adoptive parents` homeland of Turkey; Artemisia would begin attending the famed international Athena Academy; the pride and joy of the city of Athens.

#### Transfer to Shiratorizawa Academy

During her second-year of High school, Artemisia unexpectedly transferred to Shiratorizawa Academy in Japan.

## Appearance

Artemisia is noted to be the shortest person in her class; her fellow classmates being about 5`11"-6`2" in terms of their height, whereas she is 5`1". Despite her short stature, she has a muscular build, which isn't evident from the way that her clothes cling loosely to her frame. She has long, flowing, pure snow-white-coloured hair that hangs over the front of her chest area and on the small of her back. Her eyes are a gentle, warm, incredibly pale summer-green color that is so light, that it can blind other people when they look at her eyes directly.

She wears the standard Shiratorizawa transfer student uniform consisting of: a simple black work button-up shirt, a gray sweater, a gray skirt with black accents and a sailor-style collar with white socks as well as a pair of uwabaki worn on her feet inside of the school building. Outside of the dorms, she is seen wearing either Nike Sneakers (imported from the United States) or penny loafers, both of them being her two pairs of outdoor shoes. When acting in the capacity of the manger of the Boys` volleyball team; Artemisia wears a chest binder, a black t-shirt, black sport shorts, and black volleyball shoes (in cause she slips), as well as pads on her elbows and legs (in order to decrease the pressure she exerts on them). Normally, she is shown wearing medical pads on both of her elbows and both of her legs due to prior injuries. Outside of the Academy; she is typically shown wearing a white chiton, a flowing garment that is draped over her body frame.

## Personality

Serious and stoic; Artemisia is the no-nonsense manager of the Shiratorizawa Academy Boys` Volleyball Team, with a deadpan demeanor. Rarely losing her cool even underneath intensely stressful situations such as: the match against Karasuno High, or the match against Kochō High, which Shiratorizawa lost much to their disappointment. Despite constantly smiling and portraying herself as airheaded to her classmates, she is harsh, strict, unrelenting, and incredibly physically aggressive towards the volleyball team which she manages shown by her: harshly smacking Tendou on the head when he acts up during a volleyball match, casually punching Semi in the stomach when the latter got angry with Shirabu, telling him off for being angry at having his position stolen from right underneath him. Under her mask of total stoicism, she is filled with unrelenting rage towards Zeus, unwilling to believe that he is a good person.

## Abilities

### Elementumkinesis

As the last surviving descendant of the legendary demigoddess known simply as Artemisia of Halicarnassus, Artemisia possessed the same degree of control over the Heavens, as the blood of Hera runs through her veins. Due to being a legacy, born of a Japanese demigoddess (a half-mortal daughter of Susanoo-no-Mikoto), and a Greek demigod (a half-mortal son of Zeus). Due to the merging of these divine bloodlines, Artemisia holds the most concentrated amount of divine blood in her body, then has ever been recorded by any demigoddess or demigod in mythology. One of her ancestresses is Hera, the Supreme Goddess of the Sky; this allows her to manipulate the wind, flight, and the skies to her advantage. Most notably, as a legacy born directly from a union of two different half-mortals from two different cultures, she expresses raw power that cannot be scaled against a normal half-mortal. Even from a physical standpoint, she is a shining example of the sheer ferocity of the storms and the skies combined together into a single person.

#### Aerokinesis

Described as one of the hardest elements to maintain a grasp on; aerokinesis refers to the manipulation and formation of air wherever and whenever the user is, due to the presence of air everywhere, aerokinesis can be used at any time. By either expelling existing air or drawing in new air to forcibly "push" her lungs further out, Artemisia is able to expand her lung capacity, enabling her to breath underwater, which empowers her abilities when in a body of water or near a body of water. Similarly by coming into contact with any form of air (no matter how polluted), she is able to empower herself with it. However, polluted air does limit her capability for self-empowerment. One of the useful applications of aerokinesis is through creating a solid shield made out of air particles that go from a jelly-like state to a metal-like state, being incredibly hard and durable in the process. Like most standard aerokinesis users, she is capable of manipulating particles in the air and subjugate them to enormous amounts of pressure, in order to force her enemies to her knees.

### Agility

Artemis was extremely agile and quick even without using her powers as a legacy, proven in her various appearances throughout the series, when she easily dodged the volleyball accidently thrown at her face by Tendou by sliding underneath it, much to the Middle Blocker`s great surprise. She utilized the Chinese martial art Baguazhang, which requires an intricate set of foot and palm movements to dodge, walking circles around the enemy, and striking unexpectedly as well as being defend one's self from all angles; this martial art emphasized the pursuit of harmony in conflict situations, rather than destroying or defeating the opponent, a principle that Artemisia usually used, unless she was in great peril, in which she unleashed her true might, regardless of the principles that she usually followed.

### Strength

As a legacy; she carries superhuman strength and is incredibly strong, though this strength is greatly restricted due to Hera`s influence over the strength of her abilities.

### Other Skills

Raised in the highly political environment of her adoptive parents`s homeland of Turkey, she has developed high strategic and tactical skills to allow her to counter her enemies; rather skilled in diplomacy, she is usually the one who defuses arguments in the family and among her fellow classmates. Additionally, she is a skilled hacker and computer programmer, easily hacking through several layers of security for a high-security jail complex, or manipulating the digital records to make a person appear innocent regardless of the evidence against them. She is also capable of mind-controlling others; an ability passed down to her through her father`s maternal bloodline.

    Artemisia had sixteen children with Yū. Her first born child and eldest child, Kasumi (b. 2018), was a gentle child, who was often sickly. Her second child, Rui (b. 2019), was her only son and the only one that fully inherited only the aerokinesis abilities of Artemisia, with Artemisia showing no preference for her son over her fifteen other children, though she was incredibly hard on him. The only child that inherited the full skillset of Artemisia, was her youngest daughter and youngest child, Athena.
