Artemis

Roman Name : Diana
Parents: Zeus and Leto
Siblings: Again being the child of Zeus it is nearly impossible to name all the siblings and half siblings of any of his children. But from her mothers side she does have a twin brother, which is Apollo. She was born before him so she helped her mother Leto deliver Apollo.
Relationships: She was not in any relationships with anyone. She requested to be a virgin so her father Zeus granted that request. She was one of the three virgin goddess of Greece. 
Children: Because she was a virgin for life she did not have any children, but she was very protective of all children and the women barring children. She was always very loved by all humans but she also had a bad temper especially if you were to bring any harm to children. 
God Of: She was the goddess of many different things such as hunting, female fertility, wild animals, and the moon. 
Symbol: She was always seen with her bow and silver arrows. Her arrows were always dipped in poison. Her animal symbol was the deer and sometimes snake and bear. She was always loved by the animals as well. 
Greatest Accomplishments: When being born se came out before Apollo and then helping her mother bring Apollo into the world. That is why many women ask for her help when they are in labor. 
Worst Accomplishments: When she caught someone spying on her while she was bathing she transformed them into stag, which is an adult male deer, and watching him get torn by his own hounds. She also stopped the winds that was helping the Greeks boats get to troy as punishment for Agamemnons boasting the she could do better than him.
