For Jess

This is something I've been meaning to do for Jess and since I have a very small window of free time right now I figure I'll go for it.

Will give you all a life update later, when I can better organize my thoughts (because I really don't care right now).

My friend is writing a story and wanted my help designing a few back ground (for now) characters since she's got so many of them. All the characters are, essentially, Greek gods, and since my sign is the Gemini my fave gods are the twins, and so I was given permission to create their characters. Here are their basics.

Story: The Athenied
True Name: Artemis
Current Name: Diana Abbot
True Age: Old
Body Age: 19
Gender: Female
Education: College Freshman (took a year off)
Occupation: Works in the college book store, occasionally volunteers at battered women shelters.
Money: Family is wealthy, but she does her best to make her own way.
Family: Not close with any family but her brother.
Father: Surgeon, travels a lot to help less fortunate countries.
Mother: Stay at home mom.
Brother: Apollo
Ethnicity: American, Greek/Roman ancestors
Recreation/Hobbies: Archery, track and field, tennis, and occasionally models for the college art classes for extra money.
Obsessions: Her two gray hounds, Castor and Pollux
Fears: Getting close to mortals, Apollo dying.
Politics: Only votes on things that have to do with people, not money.
Sexual History: Virgin goddess.
Sexual Preference: Men, but does not like to get close to mortals.
Attitude: Seems indifferent to most things unless she is dealing with women at the shelter or her brother. Opens up more around the other gods, but does not like to get close to mortals because of how fragile they are. Can sometimes be described as a feminazi. 
Character Flaws: She has an overly black and white view of the genders and tends to get overly upset  with men who seem to forget how to be gentlemanly.
Character Strengths: Will do anything in her power to right any sort of injustice, or at least help those involved heal.
Books/Music: Pop music, dislikes rap as most of it paints women in a subjective light. She doesn't read a lot of fiction, instead preferring magazines and anything that provides information.
Food: Artemis prefers anything more organic. For her, the less ingredients involved, the better.
Writing: Almost too neat.
Talents: See hobbies.
Powers: Healing, perfect aim, and the understanding of animals (not that she can talk to animals, more of a spiritual understanding.)
Appearance:  Long, wavy, dark brown hair that curls when cut short, but she almost always wears it long. She has blue eyes and fair skin that doesn't burn, but doesn't seem to tan either. She likes to wear blues and greens, usually in the form of shorts with a tank top and yoga hoodie. 
 Misc: Every time they are reborn, despite being twins, Artemis is always born first.

And that's it for the twins. Let me know what you think, Jess, and if there's anything you want me to change or doesn't sound right.
