• • HEIGHT - 5 feet, 7.5 inches.
• • WEIGHT - 117 pounds.
• • BUILD - Lanky and thin, but sturdy. She has an all-around delicate air at first glance due to intense physical activity, but she is durable and quick. Her arms, legs, and torso are decently toned from kickboxing classes.
• • HAIR - A dark black-brown, with the occassional golden streak from her Sarchus shift.
• • EYES - Amber-orange (unlike photo references)
• • ETHNICITY - American
• • ACCENT - Grew up around the Spanish dialect and seems to have a slight twinge of a hispanic tongue, though no one she is related to is Hispanic.
• • SHIFT - The extinct and mysterious Andrewsarchus, once the largest land mammal predator on Earth. Is is related to the hippopotamus and whale, and it has hooved toes like a hippopotamus or prehistoric equine. It has a vast head and small ears and weighs in at around 3500 lbs. She runs at around 30 mph, depending on the terrain.
• • APPAREL - Often pantsuits and women's suits on the job, never skirts. She has been known to show up in jeans and a shirt, but usually something tasteful. On off days she enjoys sweaters in the cold and tank tops in the summer.
• • OTHER - Since paleontologists know very little about Andrewsarchus and Arty is one of the only known Andrewsarchus shifters in most of America, she is often called in to run tests. She is paid for the work, but keeps it a secret. She rarely undergoes any harmful treatments but is known to be strange or off-focus some days from the drugs she's been put on, but not incapable of work. The effects never last more than a few hours at best.
• • ACCESSORIES - "Sarchy" as people call her shifted form sometimes wears a blue scarf for no real reason. While she claims there isn't a reason for it, others claim it's because her shift is often assumed male because of its incredible size. She does have her ears pierced. She enjoys leather jackets and sometimes scene or steampunk apparal and accessories on off days. She owns a blue Harley Softtail motorcycle.
• • PERSONALITY - Artemis is cocky and arrogant, and a newbie to the FBI. She often thinks she can handle things on her own and gets into some trouble. While Artemis is very far from stupid and knows when to lay low, she finds herself injured a lot from reckless action. To be general Artemis is friendly but skeptical about everyone, even if she won't show it. She takes most things lightly, but when something bothers her she can be found on building tops and high places, which apparently helps her think. She seems to keep a lot of secrets.
• • STRENGTHS - Artemis is highly studied in the human mind. She is very talented at reading people's thoughts and actions or coaxing information out of people. Though her talent is far from flawless, don't be surprised if she anticipates your moves once and a while. A very blatant strength is her shift's behemoth size. At 3500~ lbs, she can easily move cars and other obstacles and plow through many barriers with disturbing ease. Her shift's jaws are incredibly strong and it would be wise to avoid "Sarchy's" giant maw if she's pissed off. As a human Artemis is lithe and quick and can run at a decent but not breakneck speed. Her perceptive abilities are her greatest strength but she also can worm her way out of many situations by simply manipulating words. She is very intelligent.
• • WEAKNESSES - Like all big shifts her greatest weapon is her greatest weakness. Artemis' size can be used against her, and the old phrase "the bigger they are they harder they fall" is indeed true. Her shift isn't the slowest animal at 30mph, but she finds it difficult to turn at high speeds. Her human form can take on your average female in a fair match but she is not well equipped to fist fight in general, especially with men. Artemis is not very pain tolerant, something she cannot help but it is a weakness nonetheless.
• • FEARS - Afraid of failure, she can get a little moody if she fails terribly or lets someone down. This usually entails wanting alone time. She fears simplicity, meaning if things aren't moving forward she gets antsy. Artemis doesn't fear hospitals but she strongly dislikes them because of the countless tests she undergoes. Fears loud noises and thunderstorms.
• • HABITS - Retreating to very high places to think. Fidgeting. Staring people down, indirectly, and silently learning about them. Snooping and being sneaky, and resting her chin on her hand.
• • SKILLS - Light build so she is pretty agile. Fast but not the fastest, but seems to have a great talent for leaping and jumping. Skilled on the guitar, and very skilled with a gun though she isn't fond of the loud noise made when a firearm discharges.
• • HISTORY -She was born in the shiftier parts of Urbs to Reeve and Jane Wren, a poor couple who struggled to get by but remained happy. She lived amongst many Hispanic friends and picked up parts of the language until she was pretty good at it. Once her friends discovered her shift Artemis was alone for a long time, as the other children were afraid of her. She wasn't fearsome, but eventually adopted their vision and turned into a serious roughhouser in high school, making trouble all the time but rarely getting caught. Things toned down a little in college, though her rough obnoxious streak still sometimes comes out. Because of this life Arty knows a lot about the darker corners of the city. She intended to study law and perhaps be a police officer but after her father was mysteriously killed and the crime never solved, she went into the FBI. (Largely a wip, may add or subtract.)
