Artemis, the goddess of virginity, hunting, and the moon, is frequently pictured carrying her go-to bow and arrow as well as a short tunic that makes it easier for her to run through the forest. She was shown in contrast to the passionate and fiery Aphrodite because she pledged never to marry. Along with the other Greek Olympian deities, Artemis was both powerful and immortal.

When Artemis was a young girl, she requested a few wishes from her father. One of her wishes was to remain a virgin forever.
