The Hunters of Artemis are chaste maidens, usually but not limited to human, demigod or nymph. Each of her hunters have sworn loyalty to Artemis, to join her in the hunt and stay away from men for the rest of their lives. They are gifted with excellent ranged capabilities and hunting skills, and possess eternal youth and immensely enjoy hunting and being at Artemis' side. They are however, sworn to be a Hunter forever and to be an eternal maiden (to remain unmarried forever). Because of this, many of the Hunters have a great hatred for males and dread even traveling with them (as seen in The Titan's Curse).
If a Hunter falls in love, Artemis will remove their immortality and may turn them into an animal. They are often mistaken for Amazons. Their base is mainly made up of tents because they move around so much.
