Biography

Patron of a Maiden of Chastity

Artemis is first invoked through Khryselakatos, a bow dedicated to her that can cover the sky with arrows. She is later identified directly as Celeste's patron goddess and the divine authority over several seemingly contrasting domains, including hunting, childbirth, and chastity. When questions arise about the rules governing Celeste's role, Artemis becomes the authority to consult. She accompanies Celeste in a bridal gown and explains that earlier Maidens of Chastity could have lovers and secretly bear children, clarifying that the title does not erase every possibility of family life. (Chapters 922, 1129, 1429, 1430, and 1449)
