Personal history
Artemis Perlis, once an abandoned child in the jungle, was discovered and raised by a kind Disciple of Nyissa. Growing up in a temple-founded orphanage, Artemis displayed an early penchant for humor and mischief, earning her the title of the orphanage joker. As she reached the age of coming-of-age rites, Artemis embarked on a journey to uncover the mysteries of her parentage. However, her travels took an unexpected turn when she found joy in helping people along the way.
Over time, Artemis evolved into a compassionate traveler, letting go of her quest for personal answers to focus on aiding others. This transformation aligned with the teachings of Nyissa, and Artemis began dedicating herself to the goddess's principles. After countless adventures and short-lived relationships, she found lasting love with a Tiefling woman who sought solace in Nyissa's teachings. The couple retired in Perlis, living a blissful life until Artemis's wife passed away.
Despite their childless union, Artemis continues to find fulfillment in the companionship of the local community and visiting Disciples of Nyissa. Settling down in Greenleaf Grove, she has become a beacon of warmth, healing, and musical inspiration for the hamlet.
