Artemis
Artemis was born a member of The Banas that had split off from the Amazons.
These Amazons, under the leadership of Antiope (the Themysciran Queen Hippolyta's sister), eventually settled in Egypt and founded an Amazon city named Bana-Mighdall .
The Bana Amazons renounced the Gods of Olympus and instead worshiped the Egyptian Goddesses Isis, Mammitu, Bast, Neith and Ishtar.
These goddesses blessed the Amazons with a perpetual sandstorm around their city to protect them from outsiders.
The Bana Amazons, however, would trade weapons and their skills for male slaves to increase their population.
Artemis was the result of one of these liaisons.
Wonder Woman first encountered Artemis when she journeyed to Bana-Mighdall looking for the Cheetah, who had stolen her Lasso of Truth.
Wonder Woman fought and was defeated by the Bana Amazon's chief warrior, the Shim'Tar.
The god Hermes was in love with Wonder Woman and destroyed Bana-Mighdall in retaliation, rendering the Bana Amazons homeless, including Artemis.
They entered into an alliance with the sorceress Circe, who told them that she would create a new home for them if they served her during the War of Gods
They decided to attack Themyscira, since they held Wonder Woman responsible for the loss of their original home.
A fiery, red-haired young Artemis, then only fourteen years of age, stood in front of the Bana's ruling council and protested the action, as she believed that Amazons shouldn't fight other Amazons.
But her protests went unheeded and the Bana Amazons went ahead with their assault.
During the attack on Themyscira, Circe betrayed the Bana Amazons and attempted to destroy both tribes by transporting Themyscira into a demon dimension.
The Bana and Themysciran Amazons had to put aside their differences and fight alongside each other in order to survive the constant onslaught of demon armies.
Wonder Woman eventually forced Circe to return Theymscira back to the real world, but while only a few months had passed on Earth during this time, an entire decade had passed in the demon dimension.
Artemis was now a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties and had become one of her tribe's greatest warriors, being battle-hardened by ten years of fighting against the demonic hordes.
