Zoe Nightshade


Zoe Nightshade, daughter of the Titan Atlas, and a former Hesperide, is the Second in Command of the Hunters of Artemis, and thousands of years old, thought she has the appearance of a 18 year old girl.

Despite being Artemis' best friend and oldest companion, she very nearly left the Hunt when the news got out that her Mistress had turned her savior and crush, Perseus Jackson, into a girl. However, unlike Bianca, she confronted Artemis and learned the truth of the situation. Now she leads the Hunters in a desperate search for the increasingly large number of missing demigods. But not for Olympus. No, she searches for her friends out of love as opposed to duty.

She, along with Artemis, becomes a lover to The Exile after Artemis redeems herself to said demigodess.

While not an actual member of the Stormguard, Riven's elite forces, she is more than their match and thus an honorary member

Artemis, The Huntress

Goddess of the Hunt, Childbirth, Virginity and the Moon. Often referred to as The Huntress when spoken of respectfully. Other less polite names are prevalent in the minds of most men who know of her existence.

Leader of the Hunters of Artemis, a pack of immortal young woman that hate men just as much as she does.

Has a disturbing tendency to turn any male she met into a jackalope before hunting and killing it with her followers.

However, the events of the story caused her to look at herself, and realized that she was behaving exactly the way she always accused men of doing so. Disgusted, she has set about changing herself to be a much better friend, goddess, and person.

Eventual lover and ally of The Exile.

Bianca Di Angelo

Bianca Di Angelo, called The Watcher, the Vigilant, and the Black Angel (other variations being Dark Angel, Night Angel, etc.). The only one of the three leaders of The Exiles not to change her name, not needing nor wanting to leave her past totally behind her. Left the Hunters of Artemis and Olympus out of disgust at their treatment of demigods in general, and Riven (who saved her life) in particular.

Technically Third in Command of The Exiles, thought she is more of a co-commander with Thalia. Not often seen far from her two lover's sides.

Actual Age: 16
Permanent Physical Age: 21

Weapons: Enchanted Sanctified Silver longbow (Welsh), Sanctified Silver-tipped arrows, and twin short swords, one made of Celestial Bronze, the other of Imperial Gold.

Riven's Left Hand

Thalia Nightgrace

Thalia Nightgrace, called the Lady Lightning, Crimson Lance, and The Graceful Spear. Formerly known as Thalia Grace. Abandoned Olympus for the sake of her best friend and lover, Riven, and in disgust with the attitudes of the gods as a whole.

Second in Command of The Exiles and Commander of The Stormguard, she answers ONLY to Riven, and is her most trusted and cherished companion and adviser. Never seen far from her lover's side.

As a note, during her training and the rapid maturity that came from it, Thalia bears the look and bearing of a 23 year old. Her hair is longer, and she favors looser, lighter clothes over her previous chain-adorned style. She is still very much the Goth punk inside, however.

Actual Age: 16
Permanent Physical Age: 23

Weapons: Despite previously wielding a spear and shield, Thalia took to the training of Tsukiumi and Amaterasu in the techniques of the naginata, and Sojutsu (The Art of the Spear) with skill and glee. Casting aside her shorter Greek spear and Aegis shield, she took up the longer Japanese weapon and blended her natural lightning with Amaterasu's flame techniques to become a truly deadly force.

Riven's Right Hand.

Riven Exilia, The Exile



Riven Exilia, called The Exile, Lady of War, and The Liberator. Formerly the male demigod Perseus Jackson. Changed by Artemis into a woman in order to save her life from the damages sustained by holding up the sky.
Leader of the Exiles, a demigod faction of multiple pantheons mandated to protecting Earth and Humanity from the powerful enemies of myth and lore, and from the negligence of the pantheons.

Actual Age: 16
Permanent Physical Age: 21

Weapons: Exoria, a massive two-handed sword that is capable of being broken down into seven different blades during battle or for travel (Basically, Cloud's sword from FF7)
Note: Her skin is slightly more bronzed than in these picture. Furthermore, she has a full-length cloak on her armor, not the short one in the picture
