Known Information

Artemisia was literally born into Jasmine House on Mont Nuit, with her mother Navya being a renowned courtesan of that House. Fathered by a noble - as would be quite common at the Court of Night Blooming Flowers - of the province Namarre. Her road was already set for her, as the natural beauty of Artemisia recommended her to become part of the Night Court; the dark teint of her mother mingled into a beauteous conglomerate with the d'Angeline blood of her father suggested her House to be that of Jasmine, and indeed, there were traces of a certain passion already apparent in the young child, which would recommend her to foster there. At the age of ten she became a Jasmine novice and blossomed considerably in the years that followed.

Even so, her debut got delayed until she was seventeen, this possibly due to wishes of the Dowayne from Jasmine House at the time, and the hope of stirring more interest among d'Angeline nobility, which would result in achieving a higher virgin price. Or maybe it was her mother Navya, who held the position of Second at that time and judged her not to be ready yet. Such delay was explained officially through the need to expand on Artemisia's skills, as she went often to Eglantine House to receive dancing lessons there. The lessons paid off well, and Artemisia performed on the night of her debut to an exalted crowd of hand-picked guests.

Being a Servant of Naamah, Artemisia received an extensive education. Besides d'Angeline she speaks Bhodistani, Menekhetan and Caerdicci. Her specialty is dancing, the sensual sort as taught in House Jasmine, such as belly dancing and the dance of the seven veils. Another specialty of hers are fire dances, Artemisia knows various variants and has blended them into her own dancing style. Additional dance training from an Eglantine increased her grace and broadened her spectrum of expression, and it shows when she performs before an audience. Having only recently completed her marque shortly before her 20th birthday, Artemisia is a known presence at Jasmine House and is helping with with the instruction of novices when she is not engaged in assignations. She has a strong family sense, meaning she is a true Jasmine and feels a familial closeness to all other Jasmines.
