Artemis (Japanese: アルテミス Artemis) was the princess and later queen of Archanea during the War of Liberation and the wife of Caldas.
Biography
Five hundred years after the foundation of Archanea, Medeus and his Dolhr Empire engaged in a war of vengeance against humans which would later be known as the War of Liberation, resulting in the extermination of the Archanea royal family save for Princess Artemis and the fall of the kingdom.
After giving the Fire Emblem to Caldas she hid in Altea, eventually meeting the peasant Anri. Anri, determined to save her, obtained Falchion and slew Medeus. Despite his feats and their shared love, Artemis was unable to marry Anri and instead married Duke Caldas to follow the request of the Archanean people.
This succession of events caused Artemis to curse the Fire Emblem, condemning her descendants to repeat the same tragedy if the Emblem is ever used again.[1] She later died in childbirth when having her first son.
Ninety-nine years after the end of the War of Liberation, during the War of Shadows, Artemis' descendant Nyna would come to repeat the tragic life of Artemis due to the curse of the Emblem.

Nyna: The last time the Fire Emblem changed hands to save House Archanea, it was not without cost. There was a princess named Artemis who loved your ancestor, Anri, with all her heart. He loved her as well- but when Medeus appeared, the two were parted forever. She cursed the Fire Emblem- called it the end of war, but also the end of love. Now the emblem has changed hands again, and I am the one who is cursed..." — Marth and Nyna, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
