hello all, i’m ali & i live in the eastern timezone! i’m currently a teacher and i’m the assistant director on the elementary school play so i’m typically more active late in the afternoons, but i’m lurking during the day on mobile.  this is artemis, my love. i’ll be posting victoire’s later once some details are worked out, but in the meantime, i am down for plotting on either!

❝ ( emma dumont. ) – is that ( artemis carrow )? according to witch weekly, the ( 22 ) year old ( pureblood ) is a ( photographer at witch weekly ). they are notorious for being ( impulsive ) and ( pessimistic ). but according to the other ( slytherin ) alumni, they’re ( independent ) and ( adventurous ). it’s no wonder the ( witch ) is referred to as the ( arcane ).

Twins clearly run in the Carrow family. Artemis is the daughter of Flora Carrow along with her twin brother Apollo. Their mother was young, barely out of school when she became pregnant with the twins. She refused to reveal to her family who the father was, only that he was pureblood and married. Flora willingly left her family and her own twin sister behind with her two children to make a life for themselves. 

Unfortunately, that didn’t last long. Flora was killed in a simple accident with the twins were two, leaving no choice but to send them back to their family. Artemis has never really known any other life than that of living with her aunt, Hestia. She remembers the lullaby her mother would sing her and her brother and the faint smell of her perfume as she would kiss them goodnight. Everything else has been tainted by the shame she brought the Carrow name. 

And for a while, Artemis believed that. She was sorted into Slytherin along with her brother when they went to Hogwarts. Though they were never cruel, it was obvious where their beliefs lied. Artemis was in her sixth year when she began realizing how antiquated her family’s beliefs were. They expected her to marry a pureblood out of school and raise children when she hated the idea of being tied down. She began to branch out, to her family’s ire, and explore her options in the world. 

After she left school, she left her family as well. She became a photographer and eventually landed a job with Witch Weekly ( something her aunt detests) and has cut off all contact with her family. 

Artemis never met her Aunt Alecto and Uncle Amycus ( for obvious reasons ), but she heard her entire life how they had let the Carrow name down for their actions. Though her family was always focused on blood purity, they hated that members of their family had been part of something so ghastly ( and mainly had been on the losing side ). 

Artemis isn’t a muggle-loving Slytherin by any means, but she no longer shares the antiquated pureblood belief that they are less than her. She still has the tendency to act like she’s better than others, but it is something she’s working on. All she really wants to do is have fun and go on adventures, but she knows she’s going to need to settle into a real life at some point.
