Appearance: Caitlin is petite and lithe, with vibrant red hair and a lightly-tanned complexion. Her features are somewhat girlish, lending her the appearance of an innocent ingenue, but hints of something darker, wilder, lurk in the depths of her vivid green eyes. (The only physical aberration she exhibits is the reflective quality of her eyes in certain lights, much like that of numerous nocturnal animals.) She appears to be in excellent physical condition, with a streamlined physique that is nevertheless feminine, and seems to exist in a perpetual state of impassioned activity- whether hard at work, hard at play, or hard at rest, she seems to throw herself completely into that course of action. Her typical attire is fairly casual: neat but comfortable jeans, fitted t-shirts, and simple cashmere sweaters in a variety of hues. Unnervingly, she maintains her "innocent" look even when caught up in the throes of bloodlust, and the visual paradox has occasionally been enough to put her prey on its heels long enough to spell its end.

Strength Level: Artemis possesses superhuman strength which enables her to lift/press over 15 times her own body weight.

Known Abilities/Powers: In addition to her great strength, Artemis is both preternaturally quick to react and slow to tire, and seems to excel in nearly all forms of physical activity. She is especially athletic, and appears to have developed a fighting style which utilizes a combination of acrobatics, feral cunning, and “dirty fighting” tactics. In combat, she makes use of thick, retractable claws which erupt from her fingertips, changing normal strikes into deadly slashes and brutal puncture wounds. Her musculature and skeletal structures have evolved beyond those of baseline humans and exhibit a marked increase in both density and flexibility, which provides her a surprising degree of resilience to physical damage and tolerance to pain. She also possesses the ability to accelerate the regeneration of bone and tissue to a truly astounding rate, such that her wounds and injuries rarely even have time to bleed; many are healed almost instantaneously, and none have left so much as a single scar. Additionally, she appears to be able to communicate telepathically with both plants and animals, reaffirming her "feral" status despite her girl-next-door appearance.

Abilities/Special Skills: Artemis uses the instincts afforded by her nature in close-quarters combat, and possesses moderate familiarity with various melee weapons. She also seems rather well-versed in the subjects of zoology and veterinary medicine, perhaps unsurprisingly.

Weapons Used: None

Personality: Artemis is a study in contrasts. Normally a very sweet and thoughtful young woman, her dualistic nature at times causes her to be uncharacteristically cold or even aggressive as she struggles to find a sense of balance. She cares greatly for those around her and will defend them with all the tenacity and single-minded zeal of a Crusader, and yet she will often turn on those same companions when they fail to live up to her standards. She is a willing listener, but rarely discusses her own problems except to say that she is dealing with them on her own terms. She is perhaps best known for her fiery temper, sharp tongue, and razor wit; unfortunately, one is rarely exhibited without the others.

Personal Interests: She enjoys swimming, running, and other forms of physical activity. Rarely intrigued by sedentary pursuits, she will nevertheless take time once in a while to enjoy a good book. Her greatest passion is studying the behavior and interaction of animals, and believes that much can be learned from them and the simplicity of their lifestyles. She will almost never turn down a debate or argument, and will occasionally play devil’s advocate just for the sake of continuing the verbal spar.
